The Trouble With Scorpius Malfoy

Chapter 3

Dear Mum,

I can't wait till Halloween. According to Fred and James there is a massive party. I'm not sure whether they are the most reliable source but I hope there is a party! You will not believe who I am partnered with for most my subjects! Scorpius Malfoy! Only don't tell dad because he will hit the roof! He's not to bad at the actual subjects but he is just the most annoying little git in the entire wizarding world! Although it could be worse, because I could be with Aroura Parkinson! Can you send my chess set please? I dong know how I've survived so long without it. How's Crookshanks? Cos in your last letter you said he was ill again. I have to go now but I will write again soon.

Love you,

Rosie.

"Come on. We need to go Lys!"

"5 more minute. Please." Came the sleepy reply. I pull the cover off her and she screams.

"Give it back Rosie!"

"Not until you come with me to get breakfast. The food is calling you!"

"Fine" I go down to the common room and nearly walk through the Grey Lady.

"Aaah. Rose Weasley. There is a ginger boy waiting outside for you. He is quite persistent that you know him and..."

"Thanks. It'll be my cousin Al. I'll go and tell him to meet me after breakfast." The Grey Lady floats away and I go across the common room to sit with Annabeth to wait for Lys.

After about 5 minute she comes bounding down the stairs.

"Come on you two. Your so slow!"

"Speak for yourself. You refused to get up till Rosie took away your duvet."

"But you just sit there."

"Waiting for you!"

They keep arguing back and forth all the way to breakfast until I yell at them to shut up.

"God listening to you two bickering is worse than Christmas at the burrow. And there are... eight times as many people!"

"I'm gonna go sit with Percy." Annabeth says and walks over to her slightly eccentric, Griffindor boyfriend.

Our first lesson is charms. With Professor Lovegood. Yay, I get to be partnered with him again. -_- At least he's actually good at it.

"Today we will be learning the levitation spell. Anyone know it?"

I knew it but I didn't put my hand up. I wanted to see if anyone else knew it.

"Mr Malfoy?"

"The enchantment is Wingardium Leviosa and the movement is Swish and Flick." I looked at him in surprise. "What Weasley? Are you going to say something or continue staring at my wonderful body? I do know stuff you know!"

"5 points to Slytherin."

Soon the room was filled with "Wingardium leviosa." Professor Lovegood was really pleased with mine and Malfoys work and she let us go early. I had Arithmancy next and I sit next to Lys. Thank Merlin!
