"Zabini! Stop hitting on my girlfriend!"

"WHAT ARE THE THREE UNFORGIVABLE CURSES?" Snape asks, but no one dares to answer. Not after the stunt, he pulled with me earlier. I was only 5 minutes late and he gave me two weeks of detention.
That man seriously needs to see a therapist. No one is raising their hands so I decide to risk more detention than I already have.
"There is the Imperius Curse, it can be used to make people do exactly what you desire. Then you have the Crusiatus curse, used by mostly death eaters when they want information or just hurt them for fun. And then last but not least the Killing curse... And well, I believe you all know what that means."
I finish my explanation by brushing my hand through my hair. "10 points from Slytherin for speaking without permission." I roll my tongue over my cheek trying not to roll my eyes while looking away from the teacher.
Luckily he doesn't see it and he moves his wand making a spell and explanation appear on the board.
"I want you all to practise the Patronus charm. There are only a few who manage to create a perfect form, however, I want you to give it your best shot."
My hand shoots up, but I keep shut till he tells me I can talk.
"Isn't this more a Charms subject?"
"What do we use it for, miss Zabini?" His voice is kill. "Dementors, but-" "Stop being a know-it-all and start working on the assignment." Athena chuckles when he turns away. "You are going great today."
"Tell me about it."
After all my classes I am chilling in the courtyard with Athena, Adrian and Theodore. His hands brush through my hair as my head lays on his lap.
"Tell me again, how many teachers gave you detention?"
Adrian snorts, he has been this way ever since I started whining about the month of detention I got. "Snape, Trelawney and Slughorn. They hate me." "They don't, you just have to start following the rules." Theo chuckles for a moment, but his eyes widen as two people walk towards us. "No way," I turn my head, making the boy groan, but I ignore it. Hermione Granger and Draco walk towards us both looking quite flustered.
"You know what this means, right Nott? If they tell us what I think they are going to tell us, I won."
He groans again, though now recognising I am about to win our bet. "They wouldn't, no. Draco cares way too much about his reputation." "Let's be honest, Nott. Hermione Granger is pretty hot. It wouldn't hurt his reputation."
"Well, I must say you aren't bad yourself." She winks making all the boys gasp. "Some say I also taste pretty good-" The brow-haired girl and I both snicker as we both know it is harmless flirting.
"Zabini! Stop hitting on my girlfriend!"
"I am not hitting on her, I am just sharing the experiences of other guys."
"Draco, mate. You should have waited a bit longer, now I have to pay her 30 galleons." Theo whines while searching in his bag for money.
"Since when?"
Athena questions with a laugh. "I believe it happened first at that party we made out. You know after they beat us with quidditch." I reply with a smile. "I thought he slept with you-" Adrian looks pretty confused and suddenly I am focussed on everything except my friends. His hand around my throat forces me to look at him. "Who did you sleep with?"
Silence.
"Zabini, a word?"
I roll off his lap and lean on my arms, my hand on my forehead protecting my eyes from the sun as I stare up at the guy in front of me.
"Fred Weasley, what a pleasant surprise." I lick my lips while eyeing him up and down.
His eyes move away from my face to the blouse I am wearing. "You didn't forget I was here, did you?" "Forget you? I could never." Athena and Hermione exchange a glance and I know they both understand what happened between me and the Weasley brother at that party.
"I guess I need to show this guy the Slytherin common room."
I get up and brush the dirt off of my uniform. "It was a pleasure, as always." I bite my lip while looking at the brown-haired boy. "See you later, Nott."
As we walk inside the school he pushes me against the wall. "I did not like the way he grabbed your throat, Zabini." "Poor Fred is jealous, how fun." I play him as I push him away and continue my way inside the school.
"Lace! Wait!" "What do you want?" Wow, the mood changed really fast.
"Listen, I just like to hang out with you and-" A chuckle escapes my mouth, which darkens his expression. "I am being serious here! I want to get to know you! More than I already do, not just having sex." I stop walking feeling utterly exposed. The last time a guy told me this I got heartbroken. I turn to the guy and stare at him. "I- I am not easy, you can't expect a clear answer from me right now. You have to understand, Fred-"
"Oh I am aware of that, so how about we are going to the kitchen and after go back to your common room?" "That sounds good," I say with a small smile. Merlin, what am I getting myself into?
