At the sound of stomping, Freddie craned to see down the platform. Whoa. That must've been Morrie. She looked like someone just made her mad. Like she was gonna blast someone's head off. He turned his head to watch the other girl, the Gryffindor, glad he was down here and not up there.

Freddie had managed to squeeze his way to the front of the crowd, and now he stood there, trying not to wave at Lili. He didn't want to distract her. If he distracted her and she lost, it'd be his fault.

Freddie wasn't really talking to the people next to him. He was just standing there, pretending like he was, and hoping nobody would notice he hadn't said anything for five minutes. Suddenly he heard his name, and looked up. Oh. Maybe this was Declan's rose. He took it from Lewis and opened the...

Freddie suddenly realised he’d forgotten to actually let go of the rose. He did now, relaxing a bit. “I didn’t read it,” he said, trying not to think about the older boy.

Picking a desk never got any easier. The one by the door was taken, so Freddie shuffled over to the middle row and sat down. He opened his bag, took out his notebook and pens, tested the pens still worked. He was kinda listening. But mostly he organising his pens - one pile for the good, one for...

Freddie couldn't believe it. Molly delivered roses and she got tired like him. He thought he was just super unfit, or making excuses, but... if getting tired was normal, then maybe he'd have a break after this one. "Okay. I will," he said. He wanted to ask more about Molly's time at school, but...

Oh... he couldn't read? Freddie didn't know that. He nodded quickly. "Sorry. Yeah," he said, bending down to look at the note. "It says: Thank you for watch - watching out... Sorry. Thank you for watching out for us. I hope you have - a good - break - too - exclamation mark. And then there's a...

"You did them too?" Freddie said. Wow! So he was kinda like Molly. "It's hard to find everyone. Not you - you're easy. All the others, though." He was getting a bit tired - but he didn't say that part, in case she felt bad. Reaching into his basket, he pulled out her yellow rose. "Happy...

Freddie liked being called 'young mister'. He grinned. "Yeah. Someone sent you a rose, for Valentine's Day." He handed the house elf the yellow flower. "Do you know what the color means? Do you know, 'cause it's yellow, what it means?"

"Ohh..." House elf made sense. The Lagowskis never had one of those. Freddie shoved the list back in his pocket and scratched his arm. "Okay. Thank you. Actually, I have a class question. Are we gonna have duels? In class?"

The rose could be fixed, but Freddie couldn't take the swear word back. Professor Adler didn't really notice though. Or just didn't say anything, which was nice. He waited for her to finish reading, bouncing the basket a bit with his knee. "You're welcome," he said, brushing his hair out of his...

Freddie jumped. Whoa. Why'd she sneak up on him? "I'm not coming in," he said, digging around in his basket. "I just have a rose. I'm delivering roses." He checked all the yellow ones first, then suddenly realised Professor Adler's was red. He offered it to her, holding it by the bottom of the...

Freddie didn't answer straight away, but looked up at the Slytherin prefect. What? Why was he staring like that? Was Freddie doing something wrong? He was only giving Annika a rose. It wasn't even his rose. He felt his face getting hot and scowled. "No, red," he said, offering the flower.

Freddie stared at the desks, trying to decide where to sit. If he waited too long, he wasn't gonna have a choice, but the pressure to hurry up was making it even harder. Finally he picked one at the front, near the door. He unpacked his wand, notebook, pens, and quill, not sure which ones he was...

Freddie had never been in the kitchens before, but someone had told him it was a good place to look for Dakrey, so here he was. He knocked on the door and went in. Pretty weird that they were just allowed in the kitchens here, he thought. At his last school, they'd have probably suspended him...
