Ember Pov:
I keep tossing and turning, it was hot as fuck. I turn to my left where Draco is usually laying. I reach my arm to hug him, but my hand only collided with the sheet. Where'd he go?

I pull the duvet off my legs, leaving goosebumps as the cold air hits my skin. My feet meet the floor, I shiver. I look in front of me in the mirror, I only had on a sports bra and sweatpants.

I go over to my wardrobe to get my uniform. A white long sleeve button up shirt, a green Slytherin skirt, and my robe. I put on my doc martens too, because why not.

I finish getting ready, straightening my hair, and putting on some lip gloss. I make my way down to the great hall for breakfast. I'm deciding if I should sit with my friends at the Gryffindor table, or sit at my own table."

I decided to sit at my own table. I sat down next to Theo. He was eating a strawberry so I decided I wanted a strawberry too. I sat down beside him, he was sitting near Marcus and Blaise.

I sat down, taking Theo's strawberry. I'm not that close with Theo or Adrian. I've known them for a year and we talk a little every day but we're not that close.

"Y'all have any plans tonight?" I asked, taking Blaise's pancake out of his hand, ripping a piece off and eating it.  "First you take my strawberry now Blaise's pancake. Why can't you get your own food?" Theo asked, giving me a strawberry.

"Because if it was MY food, then it wouldn't taste good." He rolled his eyes and I laughed. "What's in there?" I pointed to Theo's cup. "Water." I took the cup and drank some.

"You okay?" Theo asked me. "Yeah," I lied. I wanted to know where Draco went and why he isn't at breakfast. "Well anyways none of us have plans tonight. Why?" Adrian asked.

"I wanted to go to a party," I said, taking Theo's strawberry again. "What the fuck?" he complained.

"Just wanted us to hang out that's all." I replied. "That's sounds fun. Maybe i'll throw one." Blaise said, smiling at me. I smiled back.

"Where's Draco?" I asked and they all looked up at me. "We're not sure, we thought you knew." Adrian said, I shook my head. "I woke up this morning and," I stopped myself. "Nevermind, my point is I haven't seen him this morning."

They all laughed, "Gross." Adrian said, handing me another strawberry. I shook my head, "I don't want it." He rolled his eyes, "Ok."

"So what time do you want the party to be?" Blaise asked me.

"I was thinking around 10, when all the professors are asleep." Theo said. "Smart." I grabbed Adrian's strawberry and ate it. "Bitch stop eating my food." Adrian said making all three of us laugh.

"Apparently there's a new girl." Theo said. "What house is she in?" I asked. "Slytherin." Adrian said, eating a piece of bacon. Before I could ask Theo if he had the homework I heard everyone suddenly start talking. I turn my head to see a girl walking into the great hall.

She has blonde hair, I think brown eyes, and she's wearing a uniform, similar to mine. I look down at her shoes, she's wearing heels. Gross. She looks at me and rolls her eyes. Oh hell no. "The fuck is this bitches problem?" I commented, annoyingly.

"That's Kenzie, she used to like all of us in second year, then she left after we turned her down." Adrian said turning back to look at her. "What the fuck. Why the hell did she roll her eyes at me?" I complained, they all laughed.

"Probably because you're sitting with three friends of yours, who she liked." Theo replied. "True." I said, it still doesn't give her the right to roll her fucking eyes.

She walked over to our table. "Move." She said rolling her eyes at me. "Excuse me?" I replied smartly. "I said," I cut her off. "I heard what the fuck you said. Who do you think you're talking to." I said, as Adrian cleared his throat,

"You're sitting next to my best friend." She said, I looked at Theo, Adrian, then I looked over Adrian's shoulder to look at Blaise.

"Bitch, they're not your best friends. Go sit on the other bench at the end of the table, this ones occupied." I smiled sarcastically as the three of the boys laughed.

Her facial expression changed, she looked pissed. She raised her hand, about to slap me. I quickly raised my hand, grabbing her wrist. "I'd keep your hands to yourself if I were you." Blaise said, making her look at him.

"Blaiseeee," she said, smiling. "Ew stop," Blaise said making my burst out laughing. "Why'd you say to keep my hands to myself?" She asked looking back at Blaise.

"This bitch is kinda crazy." He replied, I rolled my eyes at him. She rolled her eyes. "Draco doesn't like you." She said out of nowhere. I stopped looking at my hand, and up at her eyes. "Excuse me?" She smirked at my reply.

"He was showing me around, he said i'm cuter than you." She replied. "I'm his best friend, I don't give a fuck what you are to him i'll be always number one." I heard up coming footsteps and look up to the doors of the great hall.

It was Draco. I stand up and walk towards him. "You know Kenzie?" I asked, he shook his head no. "She used to like me before she left." he said, coming over to the table to sit with us. "Bye Kenzie." Blaise smiled, waving as we all did the same.

"So we cant have a party, it won't work out this week." Adrian said, telling me why we can't have a party. "Oh okay." I said and we all continued eating and talking.

It'd been two days since me and Draco last talked. Christmas break was tomorrow. Adrian asked me to hang out with him over break, as friends. I said I didn't know if I could.

"Apparently Lucius found out about Draco and Em still being best friends after all these years and he's coming to pick him up." Adrian said.

"Damn, why doesn't he like her?" Adrian asked, Theo shrugged his shoulders.

It's been two days, im currently staying with Draco at the Manor right now. I haven't been to the manor since I was 9, Lucius doesn't like me, though i've literally only seen him like 2 times. Draco is currently downstairs helping Narcissa cook dinner, Im unpacking still.

I went downstairs to eat Dinner with Narcissa and Draco. "So, how was school?" Narcissa asked, eating her dinner.

"Good, it wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be." I smiled, cutting up a piece of steak and eating it. "I'm glad you're able to come here for the first time in 10 years, i've missed you." Narcissa smiled, drinking some of her wine.

Sadly, dinner didn't last very long because Lucius came home early.

"Narcissa I told you not to fucking let her over here." He complained, storming off into his office. "I'm sorry, i'll be right back." she said, getting up from the table, following him into the office. Me and Draco finished eating, talking about little things then we headed upstairs and went to sleep together.
