Eleanor spent the rest of the week settling into her classes and meeting the other students in her year. She also bumped into a third year girl with hair just as platinum blonde as Dracos with a strange obsession with a creature called Nargles. Eleanor liked her. The twins had also managed to drag her into the Gryffindor Tower common room Thursday evening so she can be the testimony witness in Ron finally giving Fred his owed galleons.

She also learnt she's possibly the worst student in her astronomy class despite Cedric telling her the basics multiple times, looks like she knows who will be doing her essays. By time Friday rolled around she was knackered and wanted nothing more than to collapse in bed and sleep for days.

The common room was empty and Eleanor had just found a comfortable position on the sofa, when she had the feeling someone was watching her.

"Theo?"

"Yes"

She opened the eye that faced him, "Fuck off."

"Charming lady." he scoffed narrowing his eyes at her, "How'd you know it was me?"

"I can smell your cologne from here." She said, turning her head to him sat at the other end of the sofa. "Honestly I feel like I'm getting gassed."

"But does it make you want to pounce on me and rip my top off?" He smirked, nodding his head at her slowly as if convincing her to agree.

"You're joking right?" Eleanor took a look at him, his face hung still awaiting her reply. "Oh no you're not, umm.. no? Why have you got this much on anyway?"

"They feast is starting soon and I wanna smell good for the new ladies, the hunky smell is what'll draw them in!" He whined kicking his feet up on the small coffee table.

"So like flies to shite?"

He kissed his teeth and glared at her. "Oh shut up."

"Well you're fine as long as they don't come within five feet of you, cause it burning my eyes." She complained wafting her hand around her face to try and shift the smell.

"What are you two still doing here?" They both turn round to see Blaise coming up from the dorms with Draco trailing not so far behind. "The feast is starting any minute."

Eleanor hopped of the sofa to join by Blaise's side at the bottom of the steps, he rest his arm on her head as they waited for the others to catch up. Theo dragged himself off the sofa trudging his way over to the meet pair, passing by Draco in the meantime.

"What the fuck is that smell?" Draco snarled, sniffing the air around Theo.

"Theo's taken it upon himself to impress the ladies." Eleanor smirked, lifting her eyebrows.

"Is that what that stench is." Blaise said, curling his lip.

"We should really hose you down before we get to the hall because fuck." Draco scowls, holding his nose as he passed Theo, leading toward the entryway.

"Bunch of dickheads, all of you!" Theo raged stomping out the door, with everyone following behind him.

Once they'd reached the great hall, they took their usual spot on the Slytherin table where the others were already seated along the benches.

"Where the fuck have you lot been?" Adrian snapped, eye them up and down. "Merlin what's that smell?"

Draco cocked his head towards Theo before taking a seat next to Eleanor and Daphne.

"You guys are in time, Dumbledore's just about to introduce the other schools." Said Pansy, giving Theo a funny look as he took a seat next to her.
