Second year

Something about Nott is definitely different this year

Something about Nott is definitely different this year. He looks more smug than usual and I can't help but think he has been singling me out when it comes to annoying or picking on people. Nott and I are the same size and evenly matched. We are both pure bloods and both had slightly wealthy households. The only thing Calum has over me is that both his biological parents are alive and together, but he doesn't ever point that out. So what is making him want to upset me so bad this year?

I decide I'm going to owl Draco about it. When I get to my dorm I immediately sit down and begin writing my letter.

Dear Draco,

I know I've spoken to you before about a boy named Calum Nott. This year he is acting even worse, he keeps saying things to get to me and at one point I almost punched him. It's only the first day and I almost punched someone. The last thing I want is to disappoint my parents, Rue, or even Neville. I just don't know what to do. He just seems off, like he is trying to get to me specifically for some reason. What should I do? What can I do?

I'm sorry if I'm stepping over the line by asking you but I really don't know who else to turn to.

P.s. Don't tell Scorpius I'm having bully problems, I like that he somewhat looks up to me and he is excited about going to Hogwarts. I don't want to disappoint him.

Feeling satisfied with my letter I fold it up and place it in my pocket so I can bring it to the owlery in the morning.

It's early in the evening but I'm beyond tired. In fact I fall asleep in record time the minute I hit my pillow. I don't even wake up when my roommates or Jasper come into the dorm.

....

The next morning I wake up feeling refreshed, physically and mentally.

"It's a new day, don't mess it up." I hear Jasper say from his bed.

"Wow thanks Jasper, what a great motivator you are." I reply with a laugh.

"Hey, I never said I was a professional motivator or anything. I just mean that you should probably talk to Rue. I know you normally wait till she brings stuff up but I really think you should talk to her. Ed said she is acting odd, I wouldn't want her feeling worse because you two are tip toeing around each other." Jasper explains.

"I know Jasp. I'll talk to her, I wish we were the same year so that we would have classes together." I say as I change into my robes.

"Yeah but at least we can choose where we sit in the great hall now, she can sit with our house or even with Edward if she wanted to. When we see her at breakfast we should note where she is sitting and that will tell us how she is feeling as of now on the situation." Jasper says.
