Against the odds

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

It was raining.

I was looking at the window, While I was packing.

I could see my cousin Fred sitting near a tree. I saw James approaching him, but when Fred saw him he ran away. He's acting weird lately, since the accident, the crazy Fred I knew disappeared. I know that the possible divorce of his parents is worrying him, I offered him my help several times but he always refused to listen to me.

Even Erin tried to talk to him!

I watched James go back until Alice walked in the room

"Aren't you supposed to be packing?"

"Yea, I just got distracted, but I'm almost done" I said getting back to folding my shirts.

"OK, I'm taking a quick shower" she said as she walked towards the bathroom

I finished packing my trunk, and closed it.

Cariba came in reading, -she didn't say hi, but that's normal since she's always in a book- as she came in she tripped over Alice's trunk and slammed her head with the floor.

"OUCH!!!!!!"

I stopped doing what I was doing and ran to help her

"Carrie, are you OK?" I said as I helped her to her feet

"Yea fine, just wondering about dragons" she said patting her head where she hit herself

I know she's weird, but let's face it, who isn't.

At that moment, Alice came out from the shower "Don't you think we're late?"

I looked at my watch, grabbed my trunk, and ran outside.

..............................................................................................

I was sleeping, that is until Alex woke me up

"If your gonna sleep all the way, I'm gonna go find somewhere else to sit" he said looking at me

"What else am I supposed to do"

Then the door opened

"What's up guys" Malfoy said while entering to the compartment

"Ummmm, what are you doing here" I asked him a bit confused

First I thought he was here to bother us but then I saw kindness in his eyes.

"Nobody wants your company buzz killer" Alex said a bit too rudely

Malfoy looked sad for a moment like if he was just passing to make friends but then his face changed into anger

"I just... thought Albus was here..." he said as he opened the door to go

" I don't see anybody here, unless Albus is invisible" Alex mocked 
Malfoy shrugged 
"Albus, are you here Albus?! Albus are you a ghost?" Alex screamed

"I better go" Malfoy said with a gloomy face

"Are you going to find your invisible friend?" "Oh, that's right you don't have friends" Alex snapped

"Ok, that's enough" I thought

"Maybe you don't remember, but that invisible guy you are talking about is my cousin" I said very angry "You are such a jerk!" I barked

"Come on, let's find Albus" I said looking to Scorpius, who was still digesting what Alex just said.

He followed me without any doubt. 5 minutes later we found Albus talking with a girl who I recognize as Amy Lestrange. (After what she said about Fred, I started knowing her better and I found that she's not a bad person. I know what people can do when they are with Mia Parkinson).
