You have dressed as appropriately as you could for this party that the twins were dragging you to. Unfortunately, you didn't have anything for the bottom portion of your outfit so you had to stick to a skirt. Your knee-high socks were the one thing giving you coverage from the semi-cold weather besides your jacket that fit loosely over your tank top.

Originally, you planned to wear a sweater but decided on a tank top to grow comfortable in wearing it; you aren't very fond of tank tops for some reason. The twins didn't mind at all, they thought it looked good on you despite it being a normal and very common piece of clothing. They've just never seen you wear one so it was new to the eye.

Walking down to the Slytherin common room, multiple students behind and in front of you were heading there as well. You felt someone near your neck and sure enough, when you turned to the side, Fred was leaned down, sniffing you? He quickly smiled when he saw you watching him. "You smell good, Makree." The compliment boosted your confidence and you returned the smile.

From the outside of the Slytherin dorm entrance, it looked like nothing was happening inside. But as soon as you entered with the help of a Slytherin student, you were able to hear the loud booming of music and the bustling sound of people talking. It was all too obvious that they cast muffliato to mask the party from any school staff.

"Wicked." The twins said in unison as they scanned the room full of people. Excitement filled their veins as friends cheered for their arrival, joining in on the celebration while walking over to give each other brotherly handshakes. A light tap on your shoulder caught your attention and you were more than happy to see Caroline standing there. "You decided to come!" She smiled ecstatically.

More like dragged against your will. "Of course, I wanted to see you." You smiled and turned your head to look at a random girl who began chugging from her cup. She seemed to be enjoying her time here at least. "I know it's stupid of me to offer but..." Her hand lifted to reveal a glass bottle of liquid which you knew all too well to be alcohol.

"Yes, it is stupid of you." You sarcastically smiled and tapped her arm. Waking up with a bad hangover wasn't something you desired. You would leave the bad headaches and dry mouth to everyone else. You suddenly felt a bit self-conscious wearing your outfit; being around people who weren't fully intact with their senses made you uncomfortable and caused your guard to go up.

You regretted not tying your hair up and regretted leaving your hair tie on your bed even more. Your hand raked through your hair as you made your way to a couch with Caroline. The dude sat beside you clearly had no idea what personal space was as he leaned against you, laughing at whatever his friend said on the other side of him. Huffing to yourself out of annoyance, you pushed him away to stand up. Caroline was too busy checking Cedric out from across the room so you decided not to bother her.

All you wanted to do was leave but you were already there and you didn't want to be alone at the Gryffindor dorm so you chose to stay in the end. Seeing into the lake from the glass windows allowed the interior to be tinted in green. The only place that seemed to not be crowded was near the entrance of the Slytherin common room so you got up unnoticed and walked over to lean against the wall, looking at everyone else enjoying their time. Your jacket slowly slipped down your shoulder from being such a loose fit, exposing more of your skin.

The entrance opening behind you caught your attention and in walked Zach, who looked like he was dreading coming to the party as well. He hasn't spoken to you for what felt like years even though it hasn't even been a full day and you missed him. His eyes met with yours and he awkwardly smiled at you, moving his unstyled, fluffy hair from his forehead. "You're here." He said. You nodded your head and looked him up and down. "So are you. I thought you hated parties?" You asked.
