Transfer 《draco malfoy》

6. Jackass

On my way back to the compartment, I accidentally bump shoulders with someone. As I open my mouth to apologize, he looks at me with revulsion and cuts me off.

¨Watch where you're walking mudblood.¨ He spits.

I may not know what mudblood means but I'm sure as hell that I am not going to let him speak to me like that. 

¨Look I don't know what's got your panties in a bunch, but don't take your frustration out on me. I don't even know you, yet I can tell you're a fucking jackass. I suggest you take what you just said back or else I'll punch you so hard that your mamas gonna feel it.¨ I retaliate, also bewildered at where all this anger came from. 

The door opens from beside us and I can hear a few male voices coming towards us. ¨Malfoy mate are you alright?¨ I hear one of the voices say. ¨I'm fine Zabini.¨ the boy who I now know is named Malfoy says. 

I turn my head to look at them when I notice someone familiar. The scowl on my face turns into a smile as I see who it is. 

¨Theo!¨ I exclaim, giving him a hug. 

¨Nice to see you again Aurelia.¨ He says returning my embrace. 

¨You two know each other?¨ Malfoy says still upset that I stood up to him. 

¨Yeah, she's the girl I told you I met at the coffee house.¨ Theo explains with a smile. 

Malfoy scoffs and walks back into their compartment, ¨Whatever.¨ 

¨Ah yes, you're the girl that Theo couldn't stop talking about.¨ Zabini says.

I look at Theo with my eyebrows raised while he just scratches the back of his neck in embarrassment. 

I shake my head in amusement, remembering that Sage and Vega are probably still waiting for me. 

¨I have to go back to my compartment, later Theo.¨ I say giving Theo a final hug and walking away. 

When I reach our section, Sage and Vega are still bickering about which house is better. I unlatch the door and walk inside. It's only when I sit down that they actually notice me. 

¨You were in the lavatory a while, are you okay?¨ Vega questions. 

¨Of course I'm fine, I just ran into a friend on the way back.¨ They both nod. 

I fiddle with my fingers pondering whether I should ask them if they know mudblood means. After a few minutes of questioning my thoughts, I subsequently speak up. 

¨Hey uhm, do any of you know what the word mudblood means?¨ 

They look at me with wide eyes, their mouths agape. 

¨Why? Did anyone say that to you!?¨ Vega says, suddenly becoming defensive.

¨Actually yes. His name is Malfoy, blonde hair, he seems like a real prick.¨ Sage scoffs, ¨Of course it was him.¨ 

¨Do you want me to kill him?!¨ says Vega with rage still filling her eyes. 

¨There's no need. I already threatened to punch him.¨ I shrugged. 

¨Damn.¨ They say in unison clearly impressed. 

¨But seriously, what does it mean?¨

Vega looks at Sage. She sighs, ¨Well in Europe, there are different blood statuses. Purebloods; families who don't have muggle ancestry in them. Half-bloods; families that have both muggle and wizard ancestry. And Muggleborns; magical children with non-magical parents.¨

¨Oh,¨ is all I can manage to speak. 

¨Are things really that different in America?¨ Vega questions.

¨Well in the United States, pureblood families are called ¨Old-Majs,¨ half-bloods are called ¨Half-Majs,¨ and muggleborns are called ¨New-Majs.¨ Oh, and muggles are called ¨No-Majs.¨ 

¨That sounds way more complicated.¨ says Sage. 

As I open my mouth to argue, an elderly woman passes our compartment with a wagon full of candy. 

¨Anything from the trolley dearies?¨ the woman asks with a gentle voice. 

Vega's eyes light up as she jumps up to purchase nearly the entire trolley. Vega thanks the woman and walks back with her arms full of sweets. My mouth waters as I scan every item she bought. Vega noticing my stare hands me something called a Pumpkin Pasty. It is literally the best thing my tastebuds have had the pleasure of tasting. 

¨This is fucking incredible,¨ I say swallowing the warm dessert. 

Thirty minutes later, we finished eating everything. 

¨I don't feel too good.¨ Sage says. Vega and I nod in agreement. 

Just then, Zabini opens the door to tell us that we should change into our robes.

¨Alright, bye Blaise.¨ Sage says.

We all sigh and stand up, heading to the bathroom.
