VIOLET's POV

11th of January - sunday

The girls and I were having breakfast on our own since the boys hadn't come down yet.

'' What a fucking headache...'' I said as I took a sip of coffee.
'' Have one, it'll help.'' Ginny handed me a pill.
'' I hope those are legal.'' joked Hermione.
'' They're homemade, you twat.'' she laughed back.

I took the pill and rested my head on both my hands, then suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder.

'' Good morning best friend '' said Bella '' How are you feeling?''
'' Hey Bel, I'm great, how are you?''
'' I'm okay too! Do you want to have lunch with me today?''
'' Of course, meet you at 1?''
'' As always.''
'' Alright!''
'' See you later '' she was turning around but came back '' Can I bring Blaise?''
'' Of course dummy.''

We laughed and she left.

'' She seems so nice.'' said Ginny.
'' She is, she's like a younger sister to me.''
'' Is she dating Blaise now?''
'' Yeah, they're dating.''
'' See?'' she looked at Hermione '' I am right about everything.'' she laughed.
'' No you're not! '' Hermione looked at me '' In fact she's the proof that you are mistaken sometimes.''
'' What? Why me?'' I laughed and took a bite of food.
'' She thought you and Malfoy were dating.''

I started choking on my food but managed to calm down.

'' NO, god no.''
'' It's just that people all around the school were talking a kiss between you two at a party.'' said Ginny.
'' Oh god, he kissed me to make the girl he likes jealous.'' I rolled my eyes.
'' Ooh, someone seems bitter.'' she winked.
'' I was, not anymore.''

Ron and the boys finally came down for breakfast, but only he approached us.

'' Gossip, I love it, tell me.'' he sat down.
'' We were just talking abou-''
'' These cinnamon rolls are great, aren't they?'' I interrupted her and widened my eyes for her to shut up.
'' Yeah, about cinnamon rolls.'' she said confused.

Amidst that, Hermione was trying not to laugh at Ron's expression of confusion.

I looked to my left and saw Fred and George sitting down with their sleepy faces.

Fred noticed me, smiled and waved at me, so I greeted him back, while George just nodded.

'' H-hey Violet?'' Neville asked shyly as he tapped my shoulder.
'' Yes Nev?''
'' Do you think you can help me with something?''
'' Of course.'' I got up '' What do you need?''
'' I have this really hard piece of poetry to analyze for the muggle literature club.''
'' That's easy, let me see '' I started reading '' Come, sit down.''

He sat down by my side and I started writing down some notes on his paper and explaining some meanings behind verses and words.

'' ... and finally, here, where it's written 'when the memories fade' '' I quoted '' she means once she's ready to forgive or forget the things she has been through.''

I handed him the paper and smiled.

'' T-thank you so much Violet.'' he kissed my cheek.
'' No problem Nev, anytime.''.
'' Okay, bye!''

Neville got up and hurriedly went away.

'' Well guys I think I'm going to the common room, see you.''
'' See ya.''

I got up and walked through the hallway on my way to the common room.

'' Wait up!'' someone called out.

It was Fred.

'' I'm heading there too.''
'' Oh, alright.''

We started chatting about last night and how fun it was as we walked to the room.
