Albus Severus Potter and The Darkness of Hogwarts

CHAPTER FIVE, DIVINATION CRUSHED

The next day, the boys awoke to a loud knocking on their door. "WHO THE BLOODY HELL IS IT?!?!?" Ossian shouted, waking the other boys up. "Shut-up, you measly half-blood!" Leo slapped Elyie, thinking it was Ossian. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?!" Elyie slapped Leo back. Albus and Flin exchanged a look as the argument continued. Albus walked towards the door and opened it. In front of him stood an angry looking, groggy eyed Professor McGonagall.

"Boys," She said. "Why are you not at your first class yet?" The boys glanced at each other, not sure how to reply.

"I swear I put the alarm clock on last night!" Elyie exclaimed. "Yeah." Flin said, "I saw him do it." Suddenly, the silence was interrupted by a loud ringing. "Wait, why is the alarm going off now?" Ossian asked, rubbing his arm where Leo had slapped him.

"Boys, I think you should quickly dress, and hurry off to your lesson!" Professor Mcgonagall responded with an attempt to calm the boys down.

Albie thought about what happened to the alarm clock all day, he decided to write a letter to his father and tell him about it after classes. He walked towards the second class as he missed the first one. When he arrived, he was surprised to find the room completely empty.

"Hello?!" He shouted out in hope for a answer.

"Albie, is that you?" Albus recognised the voice. It was Rosie Weasley.

"Why are you so early?" Rosie asked hoping she was not the only one.

"I could ask you the same!" He exclaimed. An awkward silence followed.

"Hello? Is anyone there? I'm kinda lost..." a new voice pierced through the room. Albus and Rosie turned around.

"Oh, hey Michaela." Rosie said, with a slight wave.

"Rosemary, right?" Michaela asked.

"Actually, it's Rosie, but I'm fine either way. Are you in our class?" Rosie asked in hope for a yes.

Michaela nodded and blinked her perfect eyes. She was rumoured to be the most pretty, beautiful, gorgeous girl in the year. Michaela Jaquline, Albus thought, what a beautiful name.

"Who's that?" Michaela asked, pointing to Albus.

"Oh, that's just my cousin Albus. His father is Harry Potter." Rosie shrugged.

"Hey, Albus - can I call you Albie?" Michaela asked.

"Um...yeah...I guess..." Albus was lost for words.

"Wait, your dad is the Harry Potter?! Like, as in Harry-who-defeated-voldemort-Potter?" Michaela stared at Albus. He nodded, tried saying something, but no words came out. "Not that I care, I just thought it was cool what he did, you know?" She asked Albus in her cute American accent.

"Yeah, that's my father..." He could finally speak properly now.

"I need to get to the Astronomy Tower. Do I turn right or left by the Great Hall?" She asked Albus, almost ignoring that Rosie was there.

"Uh...left." Albus said, hoping Michaela didn't notice that his hands were sweating.

"Cool! I'll see you around Albie. Oh, and, nice meeting you Rosemary. Sorry, Rosie. I keep forgetting!" Michaela laughed and left the room.

"Um...bye!" Albus shouted after her. Rosie nudged him.

"I think you've got a crush now, Albie!" She ran to a seat and sat down as Professor De Firebla came into the room.
