IRENE:

Turns out when you are Draco Malfoy's girlfriend it becomes everyone's business. More than half the population of the castle has shot me jealous, furious glares all day. The oh so high resident noble group Gryffindors have made their dislike well-known. Well if this is what I have to bear to call Draco mine, it's bloody well worth it.

The only thing that I can't fucking take is that people still won't back off! Apparently entering the Great Hall for dinner while holding hands with Draco, still does not give some people a hint.

Right now, I feel like using each and every hex I know on this girl from Ravenclaw who has made it her business to attach herself to Draco like a leech.

She came to the Slytherin table once we all sat down and tapped Draco on the shoulder.

"Hi, Draco. I'm Lena" she gave him a sickeningly sweet smile, "We have potions and astronomy together"

"Might have seen you around" Draco answered flippantly

"You see I have a doubt in potions and who better to ask than the best?" she batted her eyelashes at him, and I felt like shoving her book down her throat.

"Do I look like someone who sits and solves doubts while eating dinner?" Draco sneered at her

"Please, I really really need help and none of my friends are able to solve"

Yeah, her friends, 'Ravenclaws' couldn't solve her doubt.

Draco looked at me as if confirming if I was okay with it. Of course I wasn't! She made her intentions pretty clear, and they certainly didn't look like doubt-solving to me. Draco knew this too. He knew what it meant, if I say something I come off as the bitch girlfriend. But I won't give her the satisfaction of acting all insecure, so I flashed Draco a small smile and gave him a nod.

"Fine shoot and then bugger off as soon as you clear your doubt"

The girl looked like Draco had offered her the moon and grinned.

"Do you mind?" she asked me gesturing the space between me and Draco.

"No, not at all" I answer through clenched teeth, yet let her sit between me and Draco

She turned her entire body towards him and Draco looked at me apologetically. He was used to this, but the fact that he thought it might make me uncomfortable was adorable.

"So?" Draco raised his eyebrow at the girl

"Oh yes could you please help me with the steps of this potion?" she slid her book towards Draco and leaned into him while pointing at her book. Zoe who was sitting across me rolled her eyes but didn't intervene. It was an unspoken Slytherin rule : 'No one meddles in other's business unless asked to' and this was mine and Draco's issue. They won't say a thing unless we ask them to.

Lena was certainly having the time of her life solving doubts while pushing herself on Draco.

"Could you explain this one as well?" she asked while literally thrusting her boobs on his face.

"Do I look like a bloody teacher to you? What point of me telling you one doubt don't you understand?"

"I'm sorry" Lena said innocently

"Well? Can I eat dinner yet?"

"Oh yeah sorry" she gave him another sweet smile, "Maybe you could solve the rest of my doubts tomorrow?"
