"I swear, you look fine!" Ayla promised as I spun in front of the floor to ceiling length mirror. I had a white linen mini dress on, with long bell sleeves that went down to my wrists. White sandals on my feet, and gold jewellery to finish to off.

I turned back to Ayla and smiled, "You think I'm ready?"

She nodded enthusiastically, "Yes! Now go downstairs and go on your date!" Ayla pushed me towards the door and threw me my black crocodile handbag. I smiled hopefully at her before opening the door.

With one last wave of goodbye, I walked down the spiralling staircase into the Slytherin common room. Asher, Emerson, Joshua Flint, and Julian McLaggen sat on the black leather couches sharing a drink.

"Off to go see your boyfriend?" Julian called out as I quietly tried to sneak past without arousing suspicion.

I spun on my heel, looking back at the group. "I'm just going out for dinner." I corrected smugly.

"Yeah," Julian drew out, "with your boyfriend."

I shook my head, "I have nothing of the sort."

My attention got drawn to a sniffling blonde who sat beside my brother. He wiped away a fake tear, and looked up to me, "You're growing up too fast."

"Yeah, I don't like my sister going on dates. Why can't you be more like mum as a child and stay away from boys." Asher added agreeing to his best friend.

"You know the boy!" I fought back as if I was their child.

Julian smirked and shook her head, "That's the point."

"Right," I flattened out my dress, "well I best be off. Don't wanna be late."

Emerson stood up and ran over to me over dramatically, "Tell me if he hurts you. I'll beat the shit out of him."

I laughed as his arms wrapped around me, embracing me in a hug. Asher stood up and looked at Emerson and I. "I think the killing should be left for the brother."

Emerson pulled away with, what do I see? Actual teary eyes? Merlin.

Asher walked over to me and grabbed my hands, "As much as I hate seeing you with that dipshit, it's good seeing you happy." He kissed my cheek lightly then let go of me.

Emerson turned around to a silent boy, "You've been quiet. No 'Good lucks'? Or 'You look nice'?" Emerson asked Joshua.

I felt shivers as his eye racked down my body, "Just taking in the sight." He smirked.

I got a familiar sick feeling in my stomach that I've talked to Healer Maisy about. Asher stepped in front of me protectively, "Fuck off Flint." He growled.

Joshua pouted at my brother, "Since when were you so protective?"

"Since morons like you perv on poor girls who are much higher in the food chain." Emerson spat stepping forward.

"Oh, calm down Notty! It's just a little bit of fun!" Joshua laughed, manspreading on the couch.

Why is it that when I have somewhere important, a little fucking 4th year gets in my way?

I grabbed Ashers arm that was in front of me, and kissed his cheek, "I'll go."

He spun around quickly, "I'm sorry about him. I'll talk to him about his behaviour."

I laughed, shaking my head, "It's fine, seriously. Don't worry about it."

"It's not fine. He deserves to be put in his place." He growled, looking over his shoulder.
