I thought the argument was just a little disagreement, that it would all be okay by the weekend. I couldn't have been more wrong. When I woke up on Saturday I was the only one in the dorm. When I finally got down stairs, I sat with the twins. They are nice people, but they are best friends. And it seemed they were going to stay like that, so I left as soon I finished.
I went back up to the dorm, in a bad mood. I feel very hurt by Val, she jumped to conclusions and blamed it on me. I didn't ask to be a Weasley! Sudden anger is then directed to my parents, why didn't they tell me? At that I pull out some spare parchment out of my robes and go and sit on a desk in the common room.
Dear Mum and Dad,
Hagrid told me your big secret. He told me about Uncle Harry and want happened to you all. He told me about Voldemort. Why didn't you tell? Not even before I left for Hogwarts?!

At that moment in time, I thought putting only one kiss at the end was very mean and cold, but they deserve only one kiss. I begin to make my way slowly to The Owlery.
The Owlery in very old now, the walls are crumbly, but they stay strong, despite their appearance. I make my way up the steep stairs that curve round the perimeter of the circular building. Once I had reached the top, I immediately spotted the flock of school owls. They were huddled in a group by the window, hooting to each other quietly and ignoring all other the other birds. Actually, now that I think about it, they looked very official compared to the other birds. Almost as they looked down on them, being older and wiser. Kind of like humans. The Hogwarts' birds were the professors and the student's birds were the pupils, eager to impress each other, clumsy and quite desperate.
I went over to one of the small grey owls, who seemed to twitch in one of his old eyes. He looked hunched over and eyed me as I began to hand him the letter, he seemed to analyse me. In fact, he reminded me of Professor Silsbury, I smiled to myself at my little joke and watched him fly through the window.
After my journey, I began to wander around the grounds. I make it to the Black Lake, where I see Roxanne and James throwing stones at some tentacle in the water. I sit by a tree, not feeling like joining them.
"So where's your little friend?" I hear a cool voice coo from behind me. I turn to see the unaccompanied Ebony glare down at me. I suddenly have the thought of the owls again. She sits by me as I ignore her question.
"I asked you a question." She said bluntly.
It doesn't mean I have to answer it. I wish I could say that to her, but when I open my mouth a completely different answer comes out.
"We had a fight." I mentally hit myself for telling her, she smirks.
"See. I told you, your better off with me."
I nod despite myself. Then again, friendships change. Surely since it's only been the first few days of school, Val and I wouldn't have stayed friends for very long. Maybe it's for the best...
"Would like to join me after lunch?" Ebony offers, her eyes staring into mine. I nod, she then stands up.
"Wise choice, Weasley." She then dematerialises into the forest.
On my way to the Great Hall I find myself running into Scorpius.
"Hello Rose," He says quite brightly, though tries not to look awkward , as we have never spent anytime together without Albus.
"Hi," I reply rather dully.
"S what have you been doing?"
"Talking..."
"With Valencia?"
"No...um...with Ebony." His eyes widen slightly with surprise.
"Really? Was she mean to you?"
"No...actually, she was nice to me, I'm meeting up with her after lunch."
"What?" He exclaimed "Don't do it! She's horrible. Even her name's horrible!"
I frown, I can be friends with who I want "Well, I am. And don't judge her by her name." He goes red and mutters.
"That's not what I meant. Please, don't go. She's not trustworthy. I bet she's bad news"
"That's what my dad said about you." Then both of us go into shock. I can't believe I just said that. I can't believe it.
"Fine." He cuts off the conversation, looking hurt, he turns on his heels and enters into the Great Hall.
What am I doing? I'm letting all my friends slide...just at that Val comes round the corner talking to Vicky about Merlins knows what. I try to make myself look busy by burying my hand in my bag and begin to rummage around in it. They pass me, seeming oblivious to me, I feel hurt. Why did this have to happen?
After lunch I go to the Qudditch pitch to find Roxy, James and a few of their friends racing each other on brooms. Roxy spots me and flys over, skidding to a halt a few feet higher than me.
"Hey, Rosie! Watcha up to?"
I mumble a horrible excuse and she leads next to me.
"The stands. Now."
We walk to the stands and she sits me down in the far corner.
"Talk."
I stay quiet, not wanting to talk about it. Can't she do the talking?
"Who?"
"...No one.
"Roxy, for Melin's sake tell me."
I sigh and look at her, being the same height as her already.
"Val."
"Girl with the crazy hair?"
"Yeah."
"Want me to hex her?"
"No!"
"Oh. Well that's just about all I can do, but you can talk to me."
"We had a fight-
"About?"
"Well, she's muggle born and didn't really accept...well..."
"You being a Weasley?"
"...Yeah."
"Stuff her, Rosie. You're cool and you'll make other friends!"
Me, cool? She's got to be kidding...
