pope is a rockstar - SALES

the curtains are torn open by one of my roommates and me and the rest of the dormitories girls wake up in our four poster beds. i sit up quickly and glance at the clock on the wall.

It's six A.M. the first time i've woken up on time this year. haha. anyway, i pull myself out of bed and trudge to the wardrobe.

i pull out my usual Slytherin embroidered school robes and put them on. i pair that with some nice earrings, and a chain. as well as a necklace with my initials on it.

i'm waiting for the day they get rid of this stupid dress code with this ugly ass robes. but i guess that day isn't today.

i grab my books and mini purse and step out the door. i arrive to my first period, potions class, on time.

and i sit in my seat in the back of the class and gently set my potions book on the desk, as everyone else who's arriving in the class does the same.

Snape proceeds with his usual taking attendance, and addressing what potion we're making today. i follow along with the book as good as i can and make the potion, and get through class that day fine.

on the way to my next class, Draco kicks the back of my legs while i'm walking and i fall into Fred Weasley, who was walking in front of me.

Draco laughs, and runs away before i can chase him, but Fred regains posture and turns to me. "oh hey, roni." he begins walking alongside me. i say hi back. and we continue walking.

"i have a... slightly strange question.." starts, looking flustered. i know exactly what he's gonna say.

i'm gonna die right here if he asks what i think he will. "...yeah?" i ask, trying to act calm.

"...um... this may be a lie... uh.. but did you tell Hermione that we... how do i put this... had sex?" he asks, looking around before saying it.

i'm gonna kill Hermione the next time i see her. how do i even respond to a question like this? we didn't have sex, but i used this kid as an innocent little excuse for Draco.

"erm... why?" i ask in reply, trying not to fucking explode right then and there.

"oh..well she came and scolded me before first period today, said something about how i shouldn't distract you from your studies like that.. i was very confused.. since we haven't had sex." he responded, awkwardly.

"oh yeah.. well um... that's crazy. must have been some sort of misunderstanding?"

i rushed away from him down the hall before he could respond. i'm going to fucking murder hermione.

i got through my next two classes, and walked to lunch in a rush. i sit down in the dining hall with Ron, Harry, and Hermione.

i look at Hermione. "hey Hermione i have a question." i say, as if trying not to be too rude, but also straight to the point. "yeah?" she asks, dumbly. as if she didn't just humiliate me.

"did you tell Fred what i said?" i whisper in her ear, so that Harry and Ron don't hear. "yes, why?" she set her fork down.

"didn't i literally tell you not to talk to anyone about it? literally what do you not understand?!"

he really made me mad by playing dumb." she rambled. oh Hermione, if only she knew how mad i am. that, and that Fred indeed wasn't playing dumb, the whole ordeal didn't happen.

"i don't care! i told you not to say anything. can you just listen to me for once?"

"i'm sorry, i just was angry at him."

"whatever. just stop doing stuff like that."

after school that day, i saw Fred in the hallway. he approached me while i was walking to my dormitory. this never goes well. we walked together as he asked "so, are you going to tell me why Hermione thinks we fucked?"

"oh, i dunno. i was just talking about a guy and i guess there was a..miscommunication?"

"okay well, that seems like a very large miscommunication."

"i know, sorry about that. i'll make sure she doesn't mess with you anymore, or spread it or anything."

"okay thanks. but i mean, we could always make that rumor true." he laughed. i almost froze. he smiled at me. did he just? did i? he's cute, i'll admit it. but i don't know if i want to do this.. i blush, and smile back at him. he turns to me.

"well.. i should be going now.." i turned and started making my way towards my dorm but i felt his stare following me back.

as i'm walking back to the stairs, i see draco watching the entire conversation from the side of the corridor.

oh shit.

he seems mad. all we were doing was talking, but he seems super jealous. he was glaring at Fred. my eyes widen and i run off to my dorm to avoid confrontation. i can't believe that just happened. when i get back to my dorm, i set my books down and get in my bed.

i chill out for a bit. and you can bet how awkward dinner was. when i arrive at the dining hall, Fred smirks at me from across the room, before George catches on and he acts like he didn't. i smile back at him, even though i'm everything but happy.

i don't even want to know how angry Draco is, but i just eat my dinner and act like nothing happened.

"are you and fred like.. a thing?" ron asked.

"what? no." i replied.

"oh.. hermione just mentioned something about you guys-... you guys also just seemed flirty in the halls earlier."

"i bet you did hear something from hermione. but really, me and fred did nothing and are nothing."

"oh, okay."

me and Hermione finished our food and headed back to our dorms for the night. i took a hot shower, and luckily, the hickeys were beginning to fade into more of bruises.

i then changed into some p.j's and went to bed. i'm in for a long first period tomorrow.
