"You like him."

"No, I don't."

"You like him!"

"No, I don't!"

"Yes, you do."

"Ok well maybe a little."

Albus and I were sitting at the Gryffindor table, eating breakfast, and Albus had been pestering me about Scorpius for the last twenty minutes.

"Knew it." Albus said, crunching on his bacon.

"Shut up Al. I don't even know what happened! It's like, one day I didn't even know him, and I didn't want to know him, and the next I have this huge, unbearable crush on him, and-"

"Wait a second, huge unbearable crush? I thought you liked him Rose, I didn't know you were in love." Albus said with a dramatic sigh.

"That, is not what I said." I pointed a sausage at him threateningly.

"Alright, alright, I surrender." Albus put his hands up, and I went back to my eggs.

"You guys will never believe the week I am having." James plunked down across from us, looking sulky. "First Malfoy decides my face would be more suitable sporting a black eye, then he somehow, ends up at the Gryffindor party," James looks pointedly at me, and glower at him, "and now I have to endure four detentions with him. Four!"

"You'll get over it." Albus said, unworried.

"You guys, look at this." Lily and Hugo had joined us, Lily dropped a copy of the Daily Prophet down in the center of the table. The headline read, Muggle Family Attacked. Albus picked up the Prophet, and began to read aloud.

" 'At 2 o'clock last night, the Chase family of number four, Private Drive, was attacked. By who, or by what is yet unknown, but there are witnesses who saw half of the six children, and both the mother and father being ushered to Saint Mungo's in what looked to be a critical state. The Chases are a completely muggle family except for their son, Luke Chase, who is currently in his fifth year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was also attacked at the same time as the rest of his family, yet he was found on fifth floor of Hogwarts, also in critical condition. How could two nearly identical attacks have happened at two completely different places? Unless there is a person out there who planned on attacking the Chase family, but then there is the single most important question. Why?' Continued on page two of the Daily Prophet."

"And he's in the Saint Mungo's too, " Hugo said, "Luke, he's in my year, he's Seeker for Hufflepuff."

I was silent, thinking. Had this not just happened? A student had been attacked? A muggleborn student? The bell rang before my thoughts could fully form, and Albus and I gathered our stuff and headed for the Slughorn's classroom.

"Al, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

"What?"

"That first, that Alexa girl was attacked, and she was a mug-" but I stopped when somebody tapped my shoulder. I turned, and an immediate smile spread across my face.

"Hi Malfoy."

He grinned. "You know, you should probably start calling me by my real name at some point."
