    Scarlett was making her way to her next class, defense against the dark arts, when she was approached by Augustus.

    "Hey Scarlett." He started, walking beside her at her pace.

    "Hey Augustus." She mocked him, for he rarely used her full name.

    Gus chuckled. "Okay, sorry, that was way too formal. Anyway, I heard you dropped frog choir."

    "Yeah. Sorry I didn't tell you, I was going to." Scarlett nodded as the two of them approached the door of their class.

    "It's fine. But why?" He asked.

    "I have too many responsibilities."

    "Oh. Are you sure it wasn't because of Clary?" Gus suggested, but Scarlett knew he didn't know all the details. She decided not to tell him all of the events that occurred.

    Scarlett slightly tilting her head, thinking. "No, well kind of. She's one of the reasons, I suppose."

    "Okay, see you later." He understood. The two of them parted ways, Scarlett going into her class and Gus heading the other way to his own.

    Scarlett entered her class and immediately took her seat. She sat next to a Hufflepuff girl, Lilly Roiser, a girl she hadn't spoken with since the seats were assigned (which was a simple introduction). She seemed nice, despite the odd aura around her. Scarlett recalled seeing Lilly leave the castle numerous times and going into the woods, as well as talking to and petting thin air.    

    The professor came into the classroom, and the lesson started. Scarlett looked over to Scorpius, who was turned around and talking to Rose Weasley. Scarlett never recalled talking to her either.

    "Good Afternoon." Professor Potter spoke, immediately snapping Scarlett out of her gaze. "Last class you were assigned a paper on counter jinxes and defensives spells, but today, we're actually going to preform them.."

    It was finally the weekend, and all Scarlett had to look forward to was quidditch practice. She came early, just to practice a move: the wronski feint. Scarlett mounted her broom and didn't stop till she did it with ease; and when James came.

    "Nice one, Scarlett." James yelled twenty feet below Scarlett. She instantly snapped out of her focus and stumbled on her broom. James smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

    Scarlett made her way down to James. "Its fine. Sorry I'm early. I know we aren't supposed to be using the field until three."

    "No, no. It's perfectly fine. It seems you are the only one who practices outside of practice."

    "Well, I need it." She shrugged. He held the quaffle up, as a sign to play catch, and she nodded.

    "Not more than our teammates." He laughed, throwing the ball to her.

    Scarlett raised her eyebrows and easily caught the quaffle, then threw it back. "Don't say that!"

    "I'm the team captain. I can say what I want. Like: Lucas and Aimee need to work out their problems, Scorpius needs to pass the ball, Marge needs to actually try at practice, and Will, well, I like him." He chuckled, mounting his broom. He chucked the ball to Scarlett, who caught and returned it again. "Anyway, I have some new plays and drills we can do. We have to beat Hufflepuff."

    "Let's hope they lose to Gryffindor. Then if we win, we are guaranteed the quidditch cup." Scarlett smirked.

    "Let's —" James was cut off by laughing and talking. The two looked down to see their four teammates swaggering onto the field. James and Scarlett halted their conversation for practice had begun.

    Scarlett was making her way to her dorm, when she caught the sight of a shiny new poster being put up on the common room's news board. She scanned the poster, and sighed.
