The next day you were awaken by Daphne shaking you aggressively.

"Daphne, what on earth are you.."
you started but Daphne cut you off.

"Where were you yesterday?!"
She demanded while she yanked your duvet off of you.

"None of your business" you groaned still half asleep, "and give me back my blanket I'm freezing for merlins sake!"

"I'll give you back your duvet when you tell me where you were."

"Fineee" you wined sounding like a 6 year old.
"Why do you care so much anyways?"

"Ahem, incase you forgot you were meant to be meeting me and Millicent at the courtyard?"

"Oh,Yeah.. right, forgot about that.."

"Yeah no shit!"

"Well about where I was, um.. it's,
Complicated."

"Go on then" she urged.

•after you explained the situation to Daphne•

"Wait, so let's get this straight.. you wrote five guys letters..?"

"Uh, yeah.."

"Damn, Penelope I love you and all but your a player."

You gasped at the last word that left her mouth and put your hand on your chest putting on a dramatic impression.

"How dare you! My father will hear about this!" You exclaimed doing an impression of draco

Daphne giggled at your impression
"Hey, isn't he one of the boys you wrote to though?"

"Yes.. but it was a year ago!

"Yes well.. he might be my mate, but he can be a right old foul git."

"Something we can agree on." You chuckled

"Well perhaps you should get ready and we can start to make our way down to the great hall for some breakfast?" Daphne questioned.

"Sure, but what about my sister and Millicent?"

"Oh I'm sure they won't be bothered, Pansy seems to be enjoying herself anyways".

I sat up and looked directly across the room to see my sister snoring rather loudly.

You giggled at the site

"Come on, get a move on now" Daphne urged

•while at the great hall•

You stuffed your face with a piece of toast, while doing so you looked up in front of you to see Daphne giving you "the look"

"What?" You mumbled in between bites of the toast you were currently munching on.

"Look behind you"

So you did just that

Behind you was.. Fred weasly?

And he was.. staring at me?

As soon as he realised you had caught him staring his face turned a deep Scarlett red and he turned away, you then noticed his fellow twin George teasing him.

But why would he be- oh wait,
The letters
You'd actually managed to forgot about the letters for a couple of minutes.
Which then reminded you..
Draco and Blaise.

Shit.

You looked at the end of the slytherin table table to see the pair staring at you, then of course they both looked away when I noticed them.
You turned your head towards Daphne and spoke.

"Draco clearly knows, after seeing him yesterday with the letter. And then he probably told Blaise then blaise  told him which therefore means he's probably told my sister which then means.."

Daphne cut you off

"Penelope, listen. You need to calm down, I mean.. maybe he hasn't told your sister?"

"Daphne, don't be stupid, he gets a love letter written from his girlfriends twin sister?, of course he's told her, or will."

"Oh don't let this get you down Penelope, it's not like you like him anymore, and you didn't send it anyways"

"Yes, but Daphne we have two problems here, one, he doesn't know that I wrote that letter in the past, neither of them do apart from Harry-"

"Wait.., you've spoken to Harry about it? Is that where you were yesterday?!"

"Listen, I'll explain it soon, now leading onto my second reason.., I wrote that letter at the end of third year.."

"Penelope.., that's when they started dating.."

"Yes, I'm fully aware of that Daphne!" You remarked in an angry tone.

You layed your head in your arms

"Merlin Daphne.. what am I gonna do?"you groaned

•timeskip•

You were making your way to your next lesson, potions, when on the way there you managed to bump into Pansy.

She probably knows, godric help me

"Pansy listen about the thing I'm really sorry.."

She cut you off

"What thing?" She questioned with a confused look upon her face

Wait she doesn't know? I saw her with Blaise and draco just a couple of minutes ago..

They didn't tell her? But I thought they were best friends with her..

"Oh, um.."

Think Penelope! Think for merlins sake!!

"I'm sorry I.., I'm sorry I said that thing to you and Blaise while you two were kissing the other day.."

Good thinking.

"Hmph, weird..,it's not like you to apologise.."

Maybe not

"Never the less, it's fine, I'm used to all your silly remarks by now anyways."

"Ha.. yeah.."

"Well I've got a lesson to attend, I'll catch up with you later, yeah?"

"Yeah"

She smiled at you and with that she was gone.

Close one.
