"No." I turned her down. I get it, it was a dare. I just couldn't it took me months to get over her and I'm not going to get under her again. Pun intended. The others looked uncomfortable, I mean who wouldn't. I guess Pansy's just impulsive like that. 

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked you to do that in the first place." She turned away awkwardly. Well that's a mood killer. Talk about 'evening with friends gone wrong'. 

Madi was covering her mouth with her hand. I don't know if it was to keep herself from laughing, or a dramatic gasp. I'm going for both. Blaise cleared his throat.

"Right well I have stuff to do, I'm sure my father won't mind if I just chime in anyway." With that, Draco left the room awkwardly. I could hear him slightly chuckled from outside. I scoffed. Thickheads. 

"Okay well this is uncomfortable, I'm leaving now." Blaise sent us a playful wink and left the room. Ha great. 

"Look don't take it se-" Pansy started.

"No its fine its fine, me and Madi have to leave anyway. Right Madeline?" I looked at her and signalled my head towards the door. Hoping that she would understand I meant 'can we leave before I off myself please.'

"We do? Oh yeah we do I got some stuff to do with.. Romilda! Yeah with Romilda. You know the casual Romilda and Madi stuff. Yeah just some stuff with Romilda." I was even more embarrassed  now. 

"Right.. okay then bye." She went down the stairs, didn't even give us a chance to say goodbye. 

"Okay Madi you were totally overdoing it."

"Was not!" 

"Oh yes you wereee. You don't even know Romilda you dumbass." 

"Okay fine fine maybe just a tiny bit over the top. She fancies you though." Madi sent me a smirk. Pansy is great, not for me though. Not anymore. I'm just gonna let Madi dream on.

"Madi get over it please, we broke up." I opened the common room's doors and walked out with her. Madi didn't buy it, but it's fine. 

"Miss Scott, Miss White. There must be a reason why you two little... imbeciles would be roaming around the dungeons so late at night... am I right.?" I didn't even noticed we had bumped into Snape. Well this is going to be a pleasant conversation. 

"Yeah actually we were just sorting some last minute potions homework sir." I replied.

"You don't say? Funny, I was in my office up till now and there has bene no signs of you two... or your homework. I'm afraid I must take you to our headmaster, unless of course, you have a great reason that is." Madi and I were silent. I had no excuse for this one. After two minutes of intense staring a silhouette appears from behind Snape. 

Professor Lupin, we better not be getting double detention. I'd very much rather fall 600 feet high off a broom. Actually I'd take that right now.

"There's no need to wake the headmaster professor, I'll escort these two to their common room and take care of the situation." He sent Snape a smile. Not sure if it was a real one or not. Snape hesitantly nodded and walked away. Unnecessarily swooshing his gown. 

"You girls need to stop getting yourselves into trouble, I'm not going to cover for you anymore and I'm sure you understand why." He raised an eyebrow. Me and Madi nodded. I don't know how Lupin always manages to be at the right places. 

"I understand I'm sorry." Madi lowered her head to speak. I agreed with her. He nodded back to us. 

"Very well, let's head over to your common room. It's pretty late." We followed him towards the common room. No one said anything. Madi was evidently giggling though, she was mumbling something about dorms. 

"Alright girls, go get some rest. Goodnight." We arrived at the common room. He waved goodbye and left. Madi and I went in. There were still some people inside. She spotted Harry. Madi whispered 'Bye Sana' to me and walked over to Harry. Ew that's why she was talking about dorms. She's probably spending the night at his. 

I chuckled and went up the stairs towards our dorm. Its been a long night I need some fucking rest.

"Are you going to finish your work or?" Ginny asked me. We just got out of potions, we were all studying for a silly exam Snape had prepared for us. 

"Absolutely not." I tossed my paper aside. Snape and his work can kiss my ass. All I cared about right now was knickers. No seriously, someone stole my nickers last night. Must've been Hermione. She keeps forgetting we don't share a closet. 

Speaking of, Hermione walked into the hall along with Ron and Harry. They were talking about something related to slughorn. He's definitely Harry's favourite teacher. 

I felt eyes staring at me from the back of my head. I turned around to find them. Me and Professor Lupin's eyes met. I turned away rapidly. I could still feel his eyes burning through the back of my head. Strange. I'm sure Hermione noticed it as well. 

"Sana love, you alright?" Madi puts a hand on my shoulder. 

"Me? Oh I'm fine, thirsty that's all." 

"Alright go get yourself some water then." She pointed at the jar of water. I nodded and stood up to grab it. Cormac was the one sitting next to it. I reached out to take the jar but he grabbed my wrist instead.

"That's not how you do it babe, you ask politely." He mocked, speaking as if I was a baby. He's such a pain.

"Cormac would you please just give me the fucking water." I rolled my eyes. I was fed up, it's starting to really get on my nerves at this point.

"Oooh feisty. I like it." He winked. I scoffed, gross. 

"Give her the water, its not that big of a deal Cormac." Harry demanded. Cormac rolled his eyes and passed me the water. Everyone's fed up with his bullshit. Ginny on the other hand found it rather amusing. Of course she just enjoyed the part where Ron would lose his mind with jealousy over Hermione. 

"Shit we have to get to DADA guys." Hermione got up and rushed towards the classroom. We followed after her, I wouldn't have remembered. 

I sat in my usual seat, next to Hermione. She was whispering something about 'magical flamingos' to me. I was laughing, how does she even know these things. Apparently they grow as big as a thestral and can fly just like one as well. 

Professor Lupin walked into the classroom and ceased all the chattering.

"I'm sure we're all having a pleasant conversation but I've got something fun today." The class was paying close attention, I wonder what he means by 'fun'. Surprise test fun or something actually fun. 

There was nothing fun, he just wanted to distract the class. The rest of the lesson went by pretty fast. At the end he just reminded us of the quidditch game tomorrow. 

***

Me, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny were sat in the common room trying to calm Ron down. He was nervous about tomorrow's game. He says he's gonna embarrass himself and be a disgrace to every single Slytherin and that his future would be destroyed forever.

We all tried to assure him that its not that deep. That didn't work, clearly. He's listing reasons why it is in fact that deep. My favourite was 'I might forget to wear socks, then my feet would get blown away by the wind and I would never be able to walk again.' Poor Ron. 

Hermione was sitting beside him, stroking his arm in reassurance. That seemed to calm him down. Yet Hermione remains oblivious. 

I decided to call it a night, I said goodbye to everyone and went upstairs. As I was climbing the stairs I started to hear muffled sobs. They kept getting closer. They were coming from inside my dorm. Shit it could only be Madi.
