DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter.

Hey, everybody. I just wanted to say that I lost interest in their first year, but I'm going strong with their second year! I'm taking this one a little bit slower, which might help and as such, here I go. Read, Review and Enjoy!

Rose looked up at her cousin with narrowed eyes and her lips pursed angrily. James smiled back at her and then looked at me. I looked at Aspen, but she was talking animatedly to Fred, which explained the chattering in the background. Obviously she had much more to say to him than me. Which, yeah, hurt me a little bit, but she had liked him since first year, so she deserved the time alone with him. I looked back at James and smiled at him. He looked back out the compartment door and saw Scorpius skulking outside. "Should I apologize to the little punk?" he asked me, almost standing up.

I grabbed his arm and pulled him back down. "No. He insulted both of us and he deserves to just sulk outside," I sighed.

"But that seems like a harsh move!"

"He insulted me! I can't take it! He insulted me and you, he doesn't care about us!" As I said this, Albus stood up and opened the door.

"What are you doing Al?" Rose asked from where she was sitting.

"Hey, Scorpius. Do you want to come in and sit with us for a little while?" Albus asked sweetly. I looked up at James with a look of shock written on my face and I knew that his look mirrored mine.

James gripped his brother's arm and turned him around. "What are you doing!? You're inviting a Malfoy to come sit with us!" James hissed into his Albus's face.

"Listen. Just because he's a Malfoy doesn't mean that we have to hate him too!" Rose said, standing up to her cousin.

"Guys. I can hear you!" Scorpius said harshly. Then he turned to me, his grey eyes boring into my own blue ones. "And don't worry, Acacia is it? My mother knows about you. I sent her a letter about you."

"Why would you do that?!" I screeched. If my aunt knew about me, they would quickly figure out that I was in Gryffindor, which would cause me to have to go live with them! Because Aunt Narcissa was my mother's closest friend. That sounds kind of ridiculous coming from her, but I swear that Aunt Narcissa was closer to my mother than any one else was!

"Because she's my grandmother! But you wouldn't know such a thing would you? Your mother is dead isn't she?" Scorpius sneered.

"Yes. But at least that let's me choose what I want to do with my life! I don't have to worry about following in the footsteps of anyone else, do I?" I stood up and stalked out of the compartment. A little bit of a song that Fred was playing on his guitar whispering after me.

"Hey,
Don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out,
Or looked down on.
Just try your best,
Try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
When you're away.

[Chorus]
It just takes some time,
little girl, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright. (alright)

Hey,
You know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, (on your own)
So don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough (good enough)
For someone else.

[Chorus x2]

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out, (feel left out)
Or looked down on.
Just do your best, (just do your best)
Do everything you can. (do everything you can)
And don't you worry what their bitter hearts (bitter hearts)
Are gonna say."

I sat down on the floor outside of our compartment and just sulked for a little while, waiting for someone to find me. No one did.
