Silent Destiny

Scandalous Adventures

For the past weekend, you have been hanging out with Blaise, Pansy, including Niklaus whom they invited with you to eat at the dining hall. All in all, they were really pleasant to be around. Of course, their personalities were still a bit different than yours. But you could allow yourself to relax and draw out your own conclusions without feeling judged for it. The pressures of being a hero were taking a toll on you. Normally you'd feel ashamed to admit you liked doing things for yourself, but things were constantly changing and you were beginning not to care. Though you could tell that Harry was a bit suspicious of the whole thing. Ron didn't understand why you were befriending Draco's friends who were in his opinion just as bad. You were in a difficult position, you couldn't truly see Blaise or Pansy as friends since they are blood supremacists, and technically even though you feel guilty for it, you're here to earn their trust. Whether they choose your side, in the end, is irrelevant. 

It was now Friday and six days since your last direct encounter with Dumbledore and Severus. You had seen Severus in classes but it wasn't enough. You couldn't get him off your mind and right now you were in class for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Severus and you had been glancing at one another during class and you were doing your best to avoid eye contact. When you did so, it seemed like Severus was doing everything in his power to keep your attention on him. Making small noises like tapping the desk as he walked by. Gliding across the room pretending to check how everyone's progress on nonverbal spells just to walk by you each time as his cloak would slide against your arm. At the dining hall, you and Severus would catch each other eyes and glance at each other. He looked extremely smug as he saw you walk into the hall that morning. Obviously noticing your little walk from your loss of virginity. Your heart would speed up and blush would form on your cheeks. This would cause you to quickly look away trying to hide your emotions from surfacing. 

"I need to use the bathroom. I expect everyone to keep practicing, otherwise remain silent" -Severus said looking around the room but looking at you for a mere second before dramatically exiting the classroom.

"Does Professor Snape seem jittery to you?" Luna asked me and Harry.

" A little," You said hesitantly looking at the door. After a few minutes of casting spells at Luna and Harry, it was your turn to dodge. But this seemed simply too easy.

"Geez Y/N. You look like you're hardly even trying"-Luna

"Well, then fire at me," You said tauntingly. She got a little aggressive at that, but it didn't have much effect on you.

"That's all you got? Come on, you are way better than that! Don't you remember the order of the phoenix when you cast that one guy there" You were careful not to mention the word Death eater.

"I challenge you, Y/N, to a duel"-Blaise said randomly walking over.

"Wait, really? You want to duel me?" You asked excitedly yet cautiously.

"Yeah, come one. Let's see what you got"-Niklaus

"Woah, two against one. That's a bit unfair"-Y/N

"Come on guys, Professor Snape will notice. I don't think it's a good idea. What if you get hurt?"-Harry said worriedly looking at you.

"Since when are you the responsible friend?" You teased back at him.

"Oh come off it mate. It's part of the lesson anyway. Besides, let her show these pilgrims who's boss"-Ron said resting his arm on Harry's shoulder.

"Everybody back up" Seamus yelled out to the class.

You walked towards the back of the wall and stood waiting for Niklaus and Blaise to go on the other end. The three of you held your wands up to your face and flicked it back down. Then you bent down out of respect before going into a stance.
