Chapter 1 Kirk and Scotty“Casey Blake,” the teacher said, reading the first name on the roll. “Here, Mr. Fields,” a girl with short orangey hair said. McKenzie Scott’s eyes flicked over to the girl who had spoken. Her first impression was a haze of freckles and icy blue eyes, and a spark of fiery hair pulled back into a loose ponytail. McKenzie looked a little wistfully at her own brown hair. “Mark Bueller.” Mr. Fields said. A couple of boys behind McKenzie snickered, Casey straightened in her seat, and Mr. Fields just looked annoyed. McKenzie grinned. “Is Mark Bueller here?” Mr. Fields asked. McKenzie noticed a shape moving outside the cl...

POV: AlbusChapter 10 How to Adopt a HippogriffOctober passed quickly, with Quidditch practice almost every night and classes getting harder and harder. Rose turned twelve, and spent about a week rubbing it in our faces that she was older than us. Ella seemed to get edgier and edgier as Halloween got closer; maybe it was an American thing. I introduced her to wizard chess to try and get her mind off it, and she was better than me almost as soon as I taught her the rules. Rose and Scorpius started playing, too; the next minute, they were throwing chess pieces and taking out their wands. I switched with Rose so that I was playing Scorpius and...

POV: EllaChapter 9 Tunnels and Trials“I don’t know about you guys,” I said, “but I feel like curling up into a ball on the ground.” At least, I wanted to say that. All that came out was a squeak. “This place is huge,” Albus said, starting to move around the edges of the cavern. Bolstered by his apparent lack of fear, I slowly took one step, then another. This wasn’t so bad. “How far do you think they go?” “Probably everywhere,” Rose replied. “Maybe even as far as Hogsmeade.” “So we could go there right now?” Scorpius asked. “Are you kidding?” I interjected. “We’ll get lost. We have to get to know these tunnels better.” This would be a good...

POV: RoseChapter 8 Flying LessonsHagrid opened right away when we knocked, and pretty soon the five of us were seated around his big table with some of his tea and rock cakes. I didn’t even touch my cake, from personal experience. Scorpius was trying to avoid Fang Junior and his drool, which I found hilarious.     “Glad t’ see yer out o’ the Hospital wing, Scorpius,” Hagrid said. Scorpius smiled weakly, and I realized he was scared of Hagrid. “How was yer firs’ week?” he asked the rest of us.     I shrugged. “Strange.”     “Eh, well, tha’s Hogwarts fer yeh,” Hagrid explained. “Too many secrets fer just one kid ter find. Even yer ol’ man di...

POV: ScorpiusChapter 7 Volatile CombinationsAt least I was right. But Rose was too. But I had been right first.      We had double Herbology next, and I had no idea what to expect. Albus knew Professor Longbottom, sure, but I still wasn't absolutely sure whether sticking with him was a good idea. I knew my dad and certainly my grandfather wouldn't like it, but I don't know anyone else, and neither does he. We're both the odd ones out.      He was waiting for us outside the greenhouses. "Come on in!" he called. "I'm starting you off easy today."      His definition of 'easy' and mine were clearly two different things. The first thing I saw ...

POV: EllaChapter 6 Classes"Rose!" I called up. "Wait!"      She didn't slow down, but I moved faster until we were next to each other. "Why does it matter so much that we all have the same classes?" I asked her. "You and Albus get to spend more time together."      "It's the way it was done," she snapped. "McGonagall says it was a coincidence, but I don't believe her. I'm sure it happened on purpose."      "Can't you just let it go?" I asked. "If they want to meddle, let them meddle. We won't be able to change their minds. Let's just get our stuff and go to class. We don't want to be late."      Albus was already there when we arrived, so ...
