Black And Green

Twenty One

E m i l y

I was doing my homework at the common room beside the fireplace and listening to some music. I was really focused that I didn't realize how fast the hour had past.

"Emily" Hermione appeared and I had to stop the vinyl disc.

"Yes?" I asked and put my attention on her.

"Have you started Charms essay?" she sat next to me.

"No, tomorrow. Who is your partner by the way?" I asked curious.

"It's Julia from Hufflepuff. She is really nice" she admitted and I nodded.

"I will meet with Malfoy tomorrow, in the afternoon".

"I wish you good luck. Hope everything goes well" she said while standing up to leave.

"Me too" I sighed and set the vinyl disc to start playing again, with me zoning out until the dinner.

[..]

I was at the astronomy tower in the right time and I sat down waiting for Malfoy. Few minutes later, I heard some footsteps behind me and I turned around.

"Hey" he said out of breath and sat next to me throwing his quidditch bag on the floor.

"We can meet later if you want. I mean if you want to have a shower or anything" I said when I noticed the little sweat on his forehead.

"No I am good" he just said and took out his Charms books.

"Shall we start?" he asked and I nodded.

We weren't actually writing the essay. We were talking about what we were going to put in the essay, taking notes and creating the structure of it.

"What is this?" he asked and pointed on my book page.

"Hm? Oh, nothing" I said quickly. He was showing me a small paint I have made on my sheet which was the Hogwarts castle.

"You paint?" he asked curious and I nodded.

"A little, yes. I like it" I answered simple and he was staring at my art.

"You know, we are fourth cousins" he said and I looked at him frowning.

"What?"

"I mean, your dad and my mum are third cousins. So we are fourth" he explained. I knew that his mum belong to the Black family but I haven't really thought about it like that.

"Yes but we are not actual cousins" I said pulling my hair into a messy bun because it was getting on my way.

He was looking very carefully at me when he asked, "What do you mean?".

"Don't play like you don't know. I mean everyone knows" I rolled my eyes and he raised his eyebrow.

"I can't understand what you are saying" he said confused and I looked at him like really?

"Is this a joke?" he asked smiling a little and I shook my head.

"Jeez Malfoy, you don't know anything about my personal life" I teased him and suddenly the climate became lighter.

"Ye, because I don't really care about your personal life", he answered smiling with a fake attitude.

"I am adopted" I said and he wide opened his eyes.

"Wait really?" he answered and I looked at him confused.

"You didn't know it? I mean it's not a secret. Especially you, I thought that you would use it against me somehow" I answered honest.

"What are you talking about?" His tone was stricter than before.

"Let's be honest... The first days wasn't going really well with you. You want me to remind?" I said ironically and he exhaled.

He looked away, "I wasn't on my good days".

"This is all you got to say? That you were in a bad mood?" I said annoyed and he rolled his eyes looking at me angry.

"What Black? What do you want me to say? You want me to apologise? I never apologise and I have already done it once with you. Maybe I should apologise for apologizing to you!" he said standing up and I did too.

"I didn't expect anything from you. And I will never do" I emphasized my words and started packing my books up. When I did, I looked at him and he was still standing in front of me like a sculpture.

"Where the hell are you going?" he asked frowning.

"To my dorm room. Is there any problem?" I asked being sarcastic and started walking away.

[..]

"How did it go?" Hermione asked when I sat next to him.

"Not well. Let's not talk about it" I said and by that time prefects told us that it was dinner time. Great, another meet up with him.

While we were eating, I felt a pair of eyes on me and when I looked up I saw Malfoy staring at me. His seat was between Neville's and Hermione's head so it was very clear for me to find him.

"What?" I asked and he read my lips. Then he said something to the Slytherin table and they all started laughing.

"What an idiot" I rolled my eyes and I felt Hermione grabbing my hand.

"Don't listen to them" she said and I nodded.

But then I felt something hitting my head. I jumped scared and saw in front of me a meat ball. I looked angry up and saw that the Slytherin table was all laughing in tears right now. Without second thinking I stood up and started walking towards them. I heard Hermione calling my name but I didn't pay attention.

"Who the fuck did this?" I asked angry and looked at them one by one.

None of them was answering so I took a deep breath and said, "I asked, who the fuck did this" slower this time. I glanced at Malfoy but it was clear it wasn't him.

"I did it" I heard a girl's voice from my left and I turned my head. Pansy Parkinson.

"Well, good for you! I guess 50 points to Slytherin? No no... I think 100 since it was a head shot! Right guys?" I said smiling and they all started laughing including her.

"I am wondering though.." I asked scratching my jaw like I was thinking. I put my hands on the table without making it too obvious and I took this guy's plate which was full of food in my fingers.

"How much for a whole meal and not just a fucking meat ball?" I said angry and with a move I've made all the food being in her hair covering them totally. She gasped surprised while she was telling to Malfoy to get it off from her but he was laughing in tears.

That's when not only the Slytherin table started laughing, but the whole Great Hall.

"Ms Black!!" I heard someone calling me and I turned around to where the voice was. All the teachers were staring at me and that voice came from McGonagal.

"Shit" I whispered before started walking towards her.

"In my office. Now" she said angry and I nodded, not wanting to make a bigger scene. I took a glance at Pansy and when I saw her ready to throw up I laughed a little but with McGonagal's strict look I stopped immediately. Even when I saw that she was even smiling a little.

Hello :)
I was too excited to write this story that I didn't realize that Emily and Draco are second cousins lmao.
That's why in this book they are fourth cousins, long distant.
My story, so my rules hehe.
