I'm probably a bad girlfriend...but recently for some reason, I've been really distracted by Ron's presence.

Sure, I adore Percy...but I don't know. Something about Ron has been catching my eye.

Merlin's beard, what's wrong with me.

Everything's feels wrong lately. Percy had a wedding ring, I'm starting to feel attracted to Ron, and I was talking to Bridget earlier and she told me about a Slytherin she met named Nico. Apparently, he feels familiar to her even though she's never seen him in her life.

After we returned from Hodsmeade I decided to go to the library and check out some books from the restricted section.

When I got there I noticed a unpleasantly familiar brunette.

Piper McLean.

Seventh year, Slytherin, female Draco but with brown hair.

I tried my best to walk by her without catching her attention.

Too bad I don't have that good of luck.

"Granger!" Her voice had gone up higher and dripped with sweetness.

Though I knew it was sour.

I turned slowly, "McLean, nice to see you too."

"So, what are you doing here without your boy toy?" she smirked at me.

I rolled my eyes, "He's not my boy toy."

"Saw him with a wedding ring on, weirdly his right hand, today. You don't seem to have one on. He finally open his eyes and find someone better sweetie?"

"No. It just appeared he doesn't even know where it is from."

"Aw, keep telling yourself that honey. I bet he's already got all his escape plans mapped out. When it happens I reserve the right to say 'I told you so' we aren't even friends and I'm telling you. Be careful I don't need to see you crying all over the place."

"Shut up McLean!" I turned my head towards her very fast and had my fists clenched.

Then, Piper began to move her mouth like she wanted to talk but it wouldn't open.

Um...okay?

"Un-shut up?" I said wearily.

Sound started to sprout out of Piper's mouth, a nice string of curses. A few in what sounded like french.

Don't know what the language switch was about...or the random actually listening to me.

"What the fuck did you do to me?" Piper sneered.

"I didn't do anything, you're the one messing around acting like I used magic. I don't even have my wand out!" I argued.

"I was pretending to do anything! Of all the ridiculous you did some nerdy crap to make your wand invisible or something!"

"Of all the ridiculous—my wand is right here you psycho!" I pulled my wand out and showed her that is was perfectly visible and I hadn't been using it a minute prior.

She glared at me, "Well then something else is going on because I wasn't pretending to do anything. I physically couldn't open my mouth or make noise after you told me to be quiet, Granger. Why in Merlin's Beard would I lie about that?"

"I don't know how your twisted little mind works McLean! Now if you'll excuse me. I came in here with a purpose." I shoved past the over dramatic brunette and continued on my way to the section I was looking for.

"Hey! HEY! Granger, I wasn't done talking to you! Get back here!" Piper yelled from behind me.

When she said those words my brain started too feel kinda of hazy, I felt a need to listen to her. Her words were powerful for some reason that I couldn't place.

I turned around and began walking back towards the angry girl.

She looked at me with wide confused eyes, "Are you actually...listening to me?"

I shrugged, "For some reason that I can't place, I am. After you spoke all I know is I felt compelled to listen to what you told me to do. Guess I'm not the only one supposedly fucking around."

"You started it! I didn't even do anything anyway, you're probably just mocking me at this point."

"I'm not mocking you Piper. I swear."

"Well then, what's going on? Because this is not normal by any means."

"I have no clue."

We both stood in silence for a good few minutes, Piper looked around the library as if checking too see if someone was listening then decided no one was, "Hey, Granger. Crazy thought...we forget we hate each other for a little while and figure out what the hell is going on. Yeah?"

I looked at her and gave a small smile, "Even crazier response. I'm in."
