hypocrite

"I can't believe you did this to me after I apologised," I sighed "god I'm so stupid - I should've never given in" I continued as he sat startled.

"I did it before you ever sent the letter, I am sorry" he said, rubbing the back of his neck that I presumed was just as red as his face.

"I just can't believe that after everything you still did it - I mean Weasley are you a child?" I asked, my tone growing stronger and the atmosphere thicker.

"I-no I'm not a child Harrington," he spat, as if the words rolling off his tongue were dirty "and I can't believe you are here talking about childishness, seems pretty hypocritical to me"

"Don't you dare try and tell me about being hypocritical, you called me a friend Weasley, a friend," I sighed, anger no longer being the controlling emotion in my body "friends don't do shit like that"

As those words left my mouth, I felt someone wrap their hand around my wrist and pull me away. I had initially tried to pull myself away from their grip, but as I saw Weasley sitting in his seat still, nothing left to say, I decided not to fight against it.

"What was that Flo?" Tracey asked, spinning me around as I was faced with her worried-stricken expression - the others only standing behind her.

"I don't know! He was just sitting there and-and, was he ever even going to tell me he did it?" I asked, my chest rising rapidly - which I was unsure whether to blame on my anger or slight sadness.

"I don't know love, but that's not to worry - we all know that you can do a lot better" Tracey said, trying to console my obvious sadness. Though, as she said those words I felt anything but comfort - in fact all I felt was an immense sense of dread as I came to a terrifying conclusion.

"Trace, I don't know if I want to do any better" I muttered, almost embarrassed to hear my own words.

"What?!" Pansy shouted, slightly choking on her words, as Millicent stood with her mouth agape.

"No. Just forget about that" I mumbled, spinning myself back around and heading towards the common room - the others walking behind.

What was happening to me?

And why did I feel so strongly about this?

God was it embarrassing. How dare he make me feel so vulnerable. And, how dare he make me come and find him when he was the one that got me in trouble in the first place.

"Are you okay?" Millicent whispered from beside me as I waited impatiently for the dorm door to open.

"I don't know Mills I feel icky," I said, shaking my head as if the words would tumble from my mouth and try to explain how I was feeling "I just wished I had never sent that letter - I mean how embarrassing!"

Millicent tried to give her sympathy, however I didn't stay to listen as the door soon opened and I wasted no time to step through.

The dungeons were cold - like always. Though, this time the chill was comforting and helped to cool my bright red cheeks.

"Do you think this is a sign?" I spoke, thinking out loud.

"A sign for what? To fuck men and follow in my footsteps?" Millicent joked, trying to lighten the damp mood as we entered our dorm room.

"No, a sign to actually start doing my school work and you know, try harder with my prefect duties" I expressed, walking up and down the room as they sat on the bed confused.

"I'm not going to say I disagree with you. But, what exactly does this have to do with your situation right now?" Millicent asked as the others nodded along.
