Bound/Lorenzo Berkshire

Chapter Two: Lorenzo

I couldn't believe she'd actually accused me of something like that. This whole group was just a bunch of snobs.It's crazy that we have that kind of reputation while Juliette, Paige and their friends are sitting at the other end of the table. I always showed everyone that I don't hate muggleborns. Not even in the slightest. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in love with Lucille Granger for years. I really couldn't help it that I had a cousin trying to live up to his last name. I just like to mind my own buisness, that didn't make me Draco's accomplice.

I stared at Onyx in disguise. "Can you believe this? It's like I'm strangling Muggelborns with my own hands. And she's the one who sentences me in court". Onyx whistled slightly through her teeth. "So I don't want to pick sides here, but if we were at court, it would be called assistance. " "Okay, you clearly are picking a side. And it's not the right one". Onny looked at me sternly. "I'm just saying. Jules is kind of right. It wouldn't hurt to put Draco in the gates every now and then. But no, Blaise never does that, and you only do it when it comes to Lucille. It seems like you don't like any muggleborn except for Lucille. " "What Draco does is his business. I have nothing to do with it. " I told her angrily. "Okay, good. " Onny threw her hands in the air. "You won, but I don't agree with you. "

It was that exact moment that Draco, Blaise and Lucille came into the common room. "Hey, are you alright? " Lucille asked worriedly. I smiled at her. "Yes, everything's fine." "Just a small ethical discussion. " Onny added. "Then let's go downstairs, or are you still waiting for someone? " Draco asked sarcastically. "Someone got up on the wrong foot. " I grinned. "Something like that. Draco woke up and immediately listened to a conversation which was about Pansy going on a date today. " Blaise laughed. "I don't even like her, I'm happy when she's no longer following me everywhere I go. She acts like a lost fucking puppy.", Draco spit out. "Maybe, but it bothers you that you couldn't keep her warm, just in case you want some. "I added. Lucille looked at us disgusted. "Bullshit.Like she could ever manage to have a real relationship. It's just a date." Draco defended himself. "I'm happy for Pansy. It's a good thing she's finally considering other options." Lucille smiled. I looked at her again completely stunned. How could you be such a kind-hearted person?

Soon, we opened the doors of the great hall. I immediately saw that someone actually had dared to sit in our seats. As I got closer, one of the people turned around and I recognized Juliette. She smiled at me provocatively. I angrily bit the inside of my cheek. I saw quite quickly that her whole group was sitting there. I noticed that Aidan had put a hand on her thigh, which seemed kind of weird to me. I was just asking myself if I may have missed something as Draco already walked over to Paige. "Okay Paige, very funny. You can go sit somewhere else now. " Paige looked at her twin brother with a smile. "No I like it here." "Go away or you'll be sorry. " From the corner of my eye I saw Onny looking over at Juliette, who just shrugged her shoulders. "I think you're gonna have to learn that you don't get everything you want Draco. " Angrily, she stared at her twin brother. "Plus, it wasn't my idea. Though I wish it was. " she added with a smile and looked over to Juliette.

I knew it.Of course it was her idea. "Just because your father gets along with our parents doesn't mean you can do whatever the hell you want. " Draco said furious. Juliette loosely shoved a fork with omelette into her mouth. "Well, you know Malfoy, Just because you're a Purblood doesn't mean you can treat others differently. Besides there is no reserved sign here, is it?" Satisfied with herself, she pushed a strand of dark blond hair out of her face and glanced at me with her eyebrow raised. "Well, Grayback, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I can. Oh, while we're still talking about that, why is your name Grayback anyway? Don't you live with your mother?" "Uhm, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable right now. " Jack shot off. Juliette started grinding with her lower jaw. "Oh, wait, your mother hates you. Likes you just enough to treat you like a house elf. No wonder she didn't want to have the same last name as you." It seemed like everybody of the two groups had lost their tongues.Nobody dared to breathe because Draco really went too far. "Did I manage to get to you, Juliette? The truth hurts, doesn't it? " I swallowed the air sharply and made a step towards Draco to stop him but Blaise held me back by my arm. Then I saw Aidan get up and raise his fist, but Juliette quickly pulled him back into the chair. "It's all good James, we don't want anyone hurt just because Juliette's mother doesn't love her. " Draco laughed, but not for long, because Juliette had already pulled out and put a chin hook on him. Half of us snapped down our jaw in shock while Paige started laughing loudly. Meanwhile, the eyes of the entire hall were focused on us and slowly but surely Snape approached our table. "Mrs. Grayback, would you be so kind to make your way straight to the principal's office after breakfast? " I saw Juliette rolling her eyes as she said, "Yes, sir." Draco stood up and held his pine tree which was already starting to turn green and blue. "And you should get to the infirmary as soon as possible Mr. Malfoy. I'm sure Mr. Berkshire will accompany you. " I moaned annoyed, but nodded as Snape went back to the teacher's table. Before Draco and I set out, he hissed to Juliette: "You're going to regret this!" Then he walked towards the exit and I slowly started chasing him while I still got to mutter a: "See you later. " to Blaise, Onny and Lucille and took a last look at Juliette who, with her chin raised and without even a spark of regret, pushed a piece of omelet into her mouth again. Surprisingly, the last thing I saw was Onny, Blaise and Lucille sitting next to them.
