on the way to my first class, i see Fred again. he politely waves at me but.. he looks like hell. he's got a black eye, scrapes, and bruises all over.
i know Malfoy did this. "Fred!" i call out, walking towards him.
"oh...hello...Veronica..." he greets me, seeming extremely anxious.
"what happened to you?! who did this!?" i ask frantically.
"i-... i fell down some stairs... er... i have to go Veronica. bye."
he cuts me off before i can even properly converse with him, and runs off to class. Fred has never been the type of person to value punctuality when going to class.
he's avoiding me, definitely. i just know Malfoy has something to do with it. i rush to first period and sit in my seat just as the bell rings. i sigh and lay my head on the desk.
i'm exhausted. my father talks for a bit, and takes his usual attendance. random people's names, followed by a "here" and then he gets to mine.
"Veronica Snape?" i don't hear him though, i'm completely spaced out, overthinking. he repeats my name again.
"Veronica Snape." he trudges to the back of the class to where i'm sitting, and the entire class gazes as he throws a hard cover, huge book to the ground right next to my desk.
i jolt back to reality and look up. shit. "Veronica Snape, are you present." he repeats, once more.
"i'm here. i'm sitting right in front of you." i slowly open my textbook and dip my quill in some ink.
"don't backtalk me, Snape." he hisses, returning to his attendance sheet. he gets through the rest of the class and begins his lesson.
i try to pay attention, or at least look like i understand what's going on so he doesn't yell at me, but i can't stop thinking. i need to talk to Draco today. i just don't understand who would do this to Fred.
the class ends after a while, and the bell rings.
i stand from my seat and grab my books and leave to my next class, the rest of the time before lunch goes by pretty quickly, i get out of third period and head to the dining hall for lunch.
as always, i link up with Hermione and we chat before heading to our own house tables.
"did you see what happened to Fred? he got a proper beating.. i wonder who did it.." Hermione mentioned.
"...yeah.. i saw him with his black eye... i can't believe somebody would do that.." i blatantly lied.
i know who did it. i saw the look in Draco's eyes when he was watching us, and i'm painfully aware of the rumor about me and Fred that's going around. that boy has serious anger issues.
we then departed, ate our lunch, and headed to to the rest of our classes. on the way to my dormitory, i saw Draco. god, not this again.
"meet me in the courtyard tonight." he demanded, walking alongside me.
"why?" i asked.
