A/N I know. Another one. Sorry. But anyways I know I was originally doing a character with each chapter and a header depending on who it was, but I've noticed my chapters have been really short. So all of the shorter ones will have the picture and name depending on who's POV and I'll put up the new picture and name when it switches. Just thought I'd let everyone know
Rose

"Hey Rosie" I heard a voice say from behind me on my way to lunch. I turned and expected Al or Scorp, but instead was met by the face of Damien. He leaned in to kiss me and I obliged, though probably not as enthusiastically as he would've liked considering that he pulled back after barely a moment. "What's wrong?" He asked. He took my hand and interlaced his fingers with mine, walking toward the Great Hall.
"Nothing" I said, "just a little tired from all the studying for OWLS." It was February now and OWL prep was beginning so that we'd know everything in time for the tests in June. At least, that was the plan.
"I definitely understand" he told me, "I remember studying for my OWLS, plus studying for NEWTS this year is even worse. I've been studying with my friends from my old Gryffindor dormitory and none of us understand what we're learning. It's too bad you're not a seventh year, otherwise we could have study sessions so that we could hang out more."
"Well if you need help with anything" I told him, "I can definitely try to help you study. But I might not know all of it."
"Well I don't know any of it Rosie, but it'll probably be easy for you. No wonder you're in Ravenclaw. You're so smart." I blushed, but in the back of my head I wondered if he was just trying to make sure I helped him. It had been two months since we started dating though and this was the first time he'd mentioned it. I was probably just overthinking him wanting to spend time with me.
I ate lunch with Damien at the Gryffindor table most days now. Sometimes I ate with the girls and Steph, Barry and Aaron would join us. Al and Scorp usually ate together, but I never ate with them anymore. We were still friends, I mean, Al was family and he hadn't done anything wrong. I wasn't even really mad at Scorpius, more disappointed than anything. I had been telling him about Jessaline for years and how annoying it was that she was always on a different boyfriend, how she always sprayed so much perfume and hairspray in our bathroom that it made me sneeze and Alyssa couldn't go into the bathroom until the smell was gone because it gave her a headache, how she always yelled at us if we were in her way. But he had gone and snogged her! After telling me I was beautiful. Not that we had been dating or anything. It was just rude and I'd expected more from him, but I'd also heard from Al that he'd had a lot of girlfriends this year, more than just the ones I knew about. So no, I wasn't mad at him, because he hadn't truly done anything wrong. He had just done something stupid. And we were still friends, but I had a great boyfriend to hang out with now, so yes, I made time for my boyfriend and sacrificed some time with my friends. That's what a dedicated girlfriend would do. They didn't seem to mind anyways. And Damien was always saying I didn't spend enough time with him as it was. That was probably why he wanted me to study with him. We had both spent so much time studying for our tests instead of spending time together.
