It was already The Christmas season at Hogwarts. The green grass was now buried beneath white crystal snow. The Trees coated in the fluffy white stuff. And as much as the outdoors where beautiful the students were bundled up and sat in front of the fire in their common room. A boy with neat raven hair sat on the black leather couch in front of the yellow, orange, and red fire. His eyes never leaving the dancing flame . His name was Albus potter . He wasn't the only one in the room . Around him were several other students ranging from first years to seventh years. Sitting on the floor and resting his back on a black leather chair was Scorpius Malfoy. He unlike Albus had Platinum blonde hair disheveled and messy. The two boys were both deep in thought . Both minds were focused on the same thing . Quidditch. They had a game coming up against Gryffindor and they were sure they would most likely lose. Gryffindor had Rose Granger Weasley and everyone knew she was the best. Well everyone thought she was the best . The two boys had just joined the team last year and were already deemed second and third best on the Slytherin team but that was after practicing every waking hour. The two boys were not worried about their performance one bit but of another's. The Slytherin team had just let another player on and She was said to be very good maybe even better than Weasley, but they would only know tomorrow.
The door opened and a single student came in ,it was a short first year boy with blonde hair. "Come on Dinners ready." He motioned with his hand and walked back out the door. Albus and Scorpius stood up gathered their robes and books and walked out and had a deep conversation.
"I know I used to hate Quidditch but since I play I have a right to worry for the team and what if this girl isn't going to be as good as people say ?"
Scorpius signed. "Then we're doomed."
Albus glanced over at Malfoy . "Wow very dramatic."
"I'm just saying that I don't want to lose to Gryffindor and Rose. " Scorpius said.
"Why I thought you liked her. You did ask her out in fourth year." Albus said walking faster to the great hall. As they walked in they scurried over to the Slytherin table. Albus sat down with Scorpius on his left . He looked to his right and was faced with a h/c haired girl. She had e/c eyes that sparkled, she had s/c skin and lovely features . As she looked at him he realized that she must have asked a question. "Sorry did you say something?" Albus asked a bit embarrassed. She nodded "yes I was wondering if I could help you ?"Albus looked from her to his plate and then back to her . "With what?" He asked looking again at his plate . "I don't know that's why I asked you." The girl said a bit confused."you were just staring and I thought you needed something." A blush reached its way to Albus' cheeks. Before he could say anything Scorpius said what he wanted to say . "He sure dose need something he needs to be laid." Scorpius had though he said that under his breath but since he got smacked up side the head he knew he said it a bit too loud . Scorpius rubbed the back of his head and kept muttering ow every five seconds. The girl must not have heard to Albus' happiness. "No I...I'm fine thank you . " Albus turned and took food and put in on his plate. He was in the middle of eating when he heard a frustrated groan . He looked to his left at the girl and raised an eyebrow. "Problem ?" The H/c haired girl looked up from her book. "No sorry I'm just doing some quick studying for advanced potions. " he nodded his head and continued eating he raised his head to ask the girl a question but just read the book over her shoulder. He couldn't help but notice that those things where really quite advance , well she did say she was in advanced potions so it makes sense. "Can I help you Potter?" She asked not even looking up to check if it really was him. "What? No I was just- never mind." He again turned back to his food. Scorpius who was watching the whole thing happened leaned over and whispered to Albus. "You know your really smooth at talking." Scorpius stated sarcastically but only earned another slap to the back of his head ."Ow!" He glared at Albus but kept Quiet . "Do you think you can stop hitting your friend for a minute so I can study for a quick two minutes because I actually have a future to look forward to unlike you two cheddar backed potatoes ." She stood up and grabbed a roll and a cookie before moving to another spot. Albus leaned forward to see her in her new spot . "Scorpius and I are NOT cheddar backed potatoes!" The kids that sat at the table looked up from what they were doing and looked at Albus. Great I just became normal to them and now they think I'm abnormal again he thought . He stood up along with Scorpius and left the hall mumbling to himself. "That little , she better, how dare she , I'll show her , she needs to ,-" Albus was cut off by Scorpius who hit him upside the head." What was that for?!" Scorpius raised two of his fingers . "Two reasons, one because you sound crazy just because she called you a potato. And secondly because it's pay back." Albus just gave him a look. "Well I had a reason to hit you! And she called us cheddar backed potatoes. I haven't even had a cheddar baked potato so I don't even know if it's an insult!" They arrived at the common room and sat down.
"Well I need to finish potions so I'll see you tomorrow." Albus waved at Scorpius as he left to grab his potions homework. Albus sat down on his Bed and looked at his parchment. "Yea... No ... " he gave a look over on the homework and then widen his eyes before putting it down . "I'll stick to Quidditch and not Potions ."
