After what happened, I decided to wait for Lucille so we can walk back to the Slytherin common room together. I brushed my hair to the back of my head with my fingers, while I was waiting for her to fix her makeup. She tucked her sweater, pulled her tie, and wiped her smeared eyeliner. I knew that she needed company, so I was trying my best to be a shoulder that she can lean on. Surprisingly though, it amazes me how Lucille was able to pull herself together and literally changed her expression from sadness to joy in a split second. It's bloody creepy if you think about it, but I think she was so used to it whenever she got mocked by Draco and other people who often bullied her. Bulletproof might be her middle name by now.

"Anyway Luce, did you hear that Blaise is inviting us to Slytherin's party tonight?"

"Oh yeah, I heard. Onyx was actually talking about it this morning when we get ready. Not sure if I'm in the mood really."

I put my arms over her shoulder.

"Take my advice. You need to let loose. I want you to cheer up, okay?"

"You know what, I'm going to take your advice, Mr. Berkshire. Besides, it's been a long time since I dress up really."

"Well, I'm sure you'll look gorgeous. Dress nicely for me, will ya?"

I put my fingers over her chin and locked my eyes on her. Damn, her eyes were so dreamy.

"Jeez, cut it with that stare Enzo. You don't have to try hard to prove that you are a fine gentleman. Which you are, obviously."

Lucille rolled her eyes and pushed my hand away. We both laughed as we took the stairs to go to the common room.

As soon as we both arrived, Draco was sitting on a couch, biting a green apple, while Blaise and Goyle were busy running over a list on a piece of paper. He saw both of us entering the room.

"Ah, if it wasn't our lovey-dovey Berkshire, pulling a romeo over Lucille I see."

I winked at him and said, "Well, Ms. Granger here is very lucky to have me as her chaperone, so if you'll excuse me..."

Lucille giggled. Funny enough, she wasn't disturbed at all seeing Draco right there, as if she forgot what he just did to her earlier.

It didn't sound consensual to me, but I might be wrong.

"I'll go upstairs now. Catch you later boys."

I smiled and went back to see what Blaise has been doing.

"Hey mate, what are you up to?"

"Nah, just looking over this setlist."

"A setlist?"

"Enzo, you fucking idiot. Did you forget that I'm inviting you to the party tonight? I'm actually one of the person who set this up, you know? Including the music that they're going to play later. It's a secret though, don't spill this to anyone, otherwise it won't be fun."

"How could I forget? You literally talked about it for days."

I pulled a pack of cigarette from my pocket and offered him one. I lighted up mine and blew a puff.

Minutes later, I heard a sound of high heels approaching from a distance. She traveled her hands over Draco's chest from behind and hugged him.

"Looks like you boys are going to be busy tonight. Mind if I join?"
