"mother,
      i apologize for not coming home for the holiday. i realize that i should have told you i wasn't coming. i stayed with draco and his family and i had a wonderful time. i promise to visit soon if that would be okay? i hope you enjoyed your holiday and that i didn't mess things up too much. again, i'm sorry for not coming and i promise to make it up to you. love you
      liz"

i finish the short letter for my mother and send it off. i stand up and sigh as i walk out of my room and down to the common room. "hey, astoria" i say as i sit down beside her, she smiles as she looks at me "hey." "can i ask you a question" she looks at me and nods "why do you keep insisting i speak to brandon? you know i'm with draco, it's only causing problems" i ask and she sighs. "i just- i don't think draco is right for you, liz. i mean with his family and his attitude. are you sure he's who is right for you" she asks and i look at her. "what do you mean 'with his family'" i ask and she shakes her head "i mean with the death eater stuff, voldemort" she says and i shake my head. "they're just like my family, asotria" i say, kind of offended by her thoughts. of course i don't agree with the way my family is but the fact that she would talk bad about them to my face is just stupid.

"but you aren't like that, liz, and i think you should try and get away from that. that's why i told brandon to start talking to you" she says and i laugh "i don't need you to protect me, astoria. you just need to stay out of my relationship and worry about yours. aren't you the one that just got cheated on" i snap back and she glares at me "you don't want to do this, elizabeth" she threats and i laugh. "i'm not scared of you, astoria" her hand slaps across my face. i glare at her as i turn my head back towards her. "you little bitch" i say before pushing her onto the couch. her hands tangle in my hair, pulling at it to try and get me off of her. my hands hit her face repeatedly until she's able to roll over.

when she rolls we fall off the couch, my back hitting the floor hard. "you want to talk shit on my family, astoria" i yell as i flip us over again, hitting her cheek. "let me show you just how 'horrible' my family is" i speak as she continues to pull at my hair. "you're just like them, elizabeth. just like your mother" she spits, my fists hits her face again. i feel someone pulling me off of her and i groan as i'm held back.

"calm down, elizabeth" draco whispers in my ear and i sigh as i give up. astoria stands up and laughs "well, elizabeth, i guess it's time for me to tell you, i fucked your boyfriend" she says and draco freezes "i'm going to fucking kill you" i say as i pull myself out of draco's hands. i make my way to astoria but pansy steps in the middle of us "get the fuck out of here, astoria. calm down, liz" she says and asotria laughs as she walks away.

once she's out i turn to draco, he looks at me and sighs. "so she's not lying" i laugh and he shakes his head "but it's not what you think" he says and i scoff. "so you didn't fuck her" i ask and he sighs "i did bu-" "that's what i thought" i say angrily before walking up the stairs and to my room. i should have known, she's been out for me and draco's relationship since the beginning.

the door opens and draco walks in "get the fuck out" i say as i stand up. "no, listen to me" he says and i shake my head "it was before i thought we were actually serious. never after that. it was a couple days before that lunch with theodore" he explains and i sigh "i don't care, draco. you still fucked her while you were fucking me" i say and he looks at me "i swear it was nothing, elizabeth. it was shit. and i haven't even thought about it until today" he defends himself and i look at him. "whatever, i don't even care" i roll my eyes and he looks at me "so you're not pissed at me" he asks and i laugh. "i am but i can't really say anything. i fucked blaise" i shrug and he nods "yeah. besides, i'm only fucking you now and that's what matters" he says and i roll my eyes.

"come on, lets get you cleaned up" he says and we walk into my bathroom. my knuckles are split open and my lip is busted open from a couple hits astoria got in. "what even started the fight" he asks as he wets a rag. "i asked her why she kept trying to hook me up with brandon. she said because you and your family are horrible people. then she said my family was horrible. and then she said i act like my mother" i shrug and he laughs "it was hot" he says, doing that cocky eyebrow raise. "i'm not fucking you right now. now that i know you fucked her, you'll be lucky to ever fuck me again" i say and he looks at me "don't do this again" he says and i laugh.

he finishes cleaning up the cut on my face and helps me put ointment on my knuckles. "thanks for pulling me off of her" i say and he laughs "anytime" he shrugs and i roll my eyes. "you kept the necklace" he says, looking at the box on my desk. "i was about to throw it away" i lie and he nods, knocking the box into the trash that i'll have to dig out later. "i did it for you" he says looking at me and i nod "thanks" i laugh. "see you later" he says before walking out and i sigh as i get up and dig the necklace out of the trash.
