The next morning was a quiet one. As finals approached, people were in the library, the common room, the Great Hall, outside, but altogether, studying. And since most people study in silence, it was quiet. Albus was one of those, and he studied with Felicia in the Great Hall, only a few feet away from where Quinn was studying with Fred. While Albus and Felicia studied, more people joined them: Scorpius and Rose, Tyler and Luke, and a bit later even Lily joined them.

When Lily entered the Great Hall she looked really good. Albus thought she looked better than she'd ever looked the whole year. She was wearing the normal Hogwarts robes, tights under the skirt and actually covered most of her body. She wasn't wearing loads of makeup, just a bit of 'concealer' as Felicia called it, and a bit of lip gloss. She joined Albus and the others in silence, starting on her own test work. Seeing that she was only in her fourth year she really didn't have much more to do, but she did have to get okay grades, and in her case especially, as the only subject she was higher than Acceptable was DADA because it was taught by their father for a while. And no, not because their father gave them higher grades but because she worked harder for that subject.

After about two hours of studying a large group of Slytherins entered, Marc leading them.

"Alright guys, she's right over there. Oy, Lily! Can I talk to you?" said Marc, and Lily got up.

"What is it?" she asked, when Marc sniggered.

He grabbed her cheek with his abnormally large hand and smirked. "You see, Lily Potter, you're one fine girl. Too bad this is my last year at this ridiculous place. I really hoped you and I could go further." he said.

"Marc, that's just wrong. Besides, you broke up with me. Not the other way around." Lily said, as they started getting stares.

He sniggered. "Tsk tsk tsk. Poor Lily. Let's have this conversation elsewhere." he said, as he took her arm and pulled her with her.

Albus got up - followed of course by Felicia, Quinn, Rose and Tyler, who were followed by their boyfriends. Well, except Felicia's, as her boyfriend was the first to run after Lily. Marc pulled Lily all the way to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, apparently not noticing the group that ran after them.

"Lily, maybe we can't continue after school.. However we can continue just now." said Marc, as Lily tried to wriggle herself from his grip.

She didn't succeed. "You are disgusting, let go of me!" she yelled, which only made Marc hold onto her tighter.

"Let go of her!" yelled Scorpius suddenly, his wand in his hand. Marc didn't obey. "Are you deaf? Let. Go."

Marc chuckled. "And what are you going to do if I don't? Call your daddy? That's hard without a wand. Expelliarmus!" he yelled, and he caught Scorpius' wand.

"Oh no you didn't." said Scorpius, and he lunged forward, punching Marc, which caught him by surprise, causing him to fall backwards and pulling Lily with him, falling into a large puddle of mud. He took out his wand but Lily snatched it with her free hand. Then the two morons that were standing with Marc the whole time came in action and one of them, Albus was pretty sure his name was Julien, tackled Scorpius and started kicking him. That was the moment Rose's instincts were triggered, along with the others.

Not long after there were two Slytherins on the ground moaning because they got hit in their balls, two Gryffindor girls with flaming red hair trying to get twigs out of their hairs, one Gryffindor girl snogging a Gryffindor boy with flaming red hair because he'd jumped in front of a smack that was aimed at the girl, one Slytherin knocked out in a puddle of mud, two Gryffindor boys sitting against a tree holding hands and a Gryffindor boy and girl holding down another Slytherin boy.

"What the devil has been going on around here?" someone asked, and the group looked up. Professor Chubbs was looking down at them.

Lily spoke first. "The one that's knocked out was going to rape me." she said, and Professor Chubbs' eyes widened. "Then that one punched him. Then that guy tried to hit my brother, and well... This is pretty much the result." she said.

"Good gracious. Are you all alright?" Professor Chubbs asked, and the group nodded. "Well, let's see. Ten Points for each of you. Fighting is bad." she said.

"Ten points each? But the Slytherins started!" protested Fred. "We'll never be able to get that back!"

"Too bad." said Professor Chubbs, before leading them back to the castle.

That evening Albus and Felicia sat by the fire in the common room when Quinn and Fred entered. Albus got up.

"Hey guys, want to play Exploding Snap?" Albus asked, and Quinn nodded.

Fred sighed. "You go, I'm going to study." he said. Quinn didn't object.

"What's the matter with him?" asked Albus, and Quinn shrugged.

She shuffled the cards. "He got all angry after I missed the shot during practice." she said.

Felicia joined them. "But maybe he's just nervous for the Gryffindor vs Slytherin match and his N.E.W.T.S?" she said. Quinn shook her head.

"He's been acting all weird for a while. As if someone he cared about left his life. And he does weird when someone says the word 'Muggle'." she said. "He's just been strange. Now, are we going to play Exploding Snap or talk about Fred acting weird every time someone says Muggle."

Albus looked at Quinn. Maybe the Muggle in the forest left, and Fred had grown attached to her. Quinn made clear she didn't want to talk about it, and considering Albus and Quinn had been in arguments a lot lately, he accepted that.

Around midnight Albus woke up. A little bit disoriented he went downstairs, where Fred and Quinn were sitting. Fred was talking, and he looked bloody serious.

"...and I love you, really, I do. But I'm going to break up with you. I need to get some things straight." There was silence for a moment. "Okay. Well, now that I've got that out of my system, I'm going to sleep." Fred said, before walking up the stairs, luckily not noticing Albus. Quinn was still sitting on the couch, and Albus joined her.

She looked at him. "What did just happen?" she asked, as Albus dropped himself on the couch.

"I'm pretty sure he just broke up with you." said Albus, and she nodded.

Albus waited for her to cry. Instead, she said. "Well, I'm going to sleep too now. See you Al." she said, and went upstairs.

Wait, what?

A Very Potter Break-Up? Fred and Quinn, the couple since the beginning is broken up now? What's with Fred being weird, why did he break up with her? Summer holidays are approaching, and they still haven't saved the world. What does this mean?

Yes, guys, Albus Severus Potter - Year 6 will also contain Year 7!
