"Hurry up Kat, we're all going to the great hall" I heard pansy call out to me from the common room. I sighed, I can't be bothered to sit and listen about everyone's holidays, as bad as it sounds I simply just do not care.
"I'll meet you there I'm still getting changed" I replied, half heartedly, not caring if she heard me or not. I finished putting my robes on and sat at the end of my bed.
I am in no rush at all, wouldn't it be a shame if I missed it
I found myself getting lost in the fine details of the room, it's funny how you can spend so long in one place but not notice the little things- like the faint outline of what clearly used to be a door or opening of some sort, the random quotes of Salzar Slytherin placed in strange crevasses, the 'Slytherin' banners that hung wonkily above all of the beds, even the chairs in between the beds (that no one sits in). It's strange to think, know, that this won't be my home next year. I closed my eyes and let myself fall back on my bed, focussing on nothing but the sounds of the lake water lapping against the window next to me.
"Kat- are you okay?" scared out of my little moment, I shot up out of the position I was in, my green eyes nearly popping right out of my skull. I whipped my head towards the door to see what twat decided to interrupt me and saw Draco standing there with a grin on his face, trying not to explode with laughter. Although in this moment I wanted to kill him, the light of the moon was reflecting off of him, somehow making his already platinum hair turn even lighter- almost white, his piercing grey eyes were brighter than ever and his cheekbones were the most defined I have ever seen them. Dick.
"Sorry my love, I didn't mean to scare you" He chuckled, walking towards my bed and sitting himself next to me, putting his soft hands on mine. "Are you okay?" he reiterated. I looked up at him "I'm okay" I lied "just wanted to take a moment to listen to the water" technically not a lie. He nodded, understanding of my reasoning. One of the things I adore about him is the fact that he knows that I'm lying, but equally knows that I don't want to or need to talk about it right now. He stood up and held his hand out for me to take "Well then let's go, don't want you wasting away now do we" He joked.
We took a slow walk from the dungeons to the great hall, admittedly being the reason that the walk was so slow- I just really am not ready to see Dumbledore, it's going to make this situation so much more real. I'm still expecting to wake up from whatever fucked up dream this could be, but I know that this isn't a dream, or a nightmare, this is my reality. I could already smell the aroma of the feast before I entered, suddenly excited because I am starving! We were about to walk into the hall when I heard an obnoxiously loud sound of the glass windows smashing what the fuck?
"Katerina! Draco!" Peeves, of course, how did I not know straight away
"Peeves, I am not in the mood- if you fuck with either of us this year you'll wish you were not a ghost in this castle, believe me" I snapped, even Draco was taken aback. Peeves held his hands up and flew straight away without saying anything, how bizarre. He would usually retaliate. Shaking off the thoughts, we continued into the hall. As soon as I entered I couldn't help but let my attention go straight to the bloody mess on the Gryffindor table, literally the bloody mess, Harry Potter was covered in blood. My mind went to earlier when Draco stayed back on the train and I couldn't help but let my smile appear blatantly on my face "Nice face Potter" I shouted out, earning a lot of laughs from the Slytherins and an equal amount of scowls from, well, every other house.
I took my seat at the Slytherin table and got lost in my own thoughts, drowning out the noise of everyone's chatters. Sorry Millicent but I really couldn't give two shits about your trip to Rome. I spent the rest of the time in my own little world, continuing to ignore everyone around me, I don't care if it's rude- I have definitely done worse. I thought that seeing Dumbledore was going to affect me more than it has, I thought I would at least feel guilty but who am I kidding? I've spent the whole holidays being guilty, with this plus Lucius being carted off to Azkaban the guilt has gone.
I just feel numb.
