POV Cecilia Black
After I had ruined my sisters moment, I went back to my room. I sat on my bed and thought, man oh  man this year has not started off normally. I decided it was time for me to go to bed. I had a busy day tomorrow and had better get to bed.

**Time skip to the next day at 7:40 am**

It was the first day of classes, I had potions, DADA with the new umbridge lady, divination and charms. God I hated charms. I got dressed in my green and black slytherin skirt, (which btw was getting a bit short, I would buy a new one soon) and put on my green socks. The common room was empty so I just walked out. My sister was probably at breakfast already as she is an early riser. Sure enough as I entered the great hall, she was sitting at the slytherin table with that new Matteo boy, had never actually talk to him. I nodded to her and sat down at the table next to her. We had some small conversations about how we thought the new year would be but where quiet. We clearly both had things on our mind. Draco walked in eventually, looked around saw me and  sat down right next to me and put his arm around me. Ugh he had some nerve, but at the same time I liked it.
"So how are you Cecilia," Draco asked. Meanwhile under the table he was wrapping his leg around mine. I let him as I really didn't care.
"Not bad, exited for potions." I said. He smiled at me and said.
"It should be interesting if you know what I mean." Oh yeah I did but I wasn't really looking forward to what Draco was going to do under the table. Hopefully we had a seating plan.
"Well I'm going to run and get to potions" I said standing up, it was difficult as I had to unravel my legs from him. I just wish he would slow down a bit, he was starting to make me uncomfortable. I think I need a break from him but at the same time I don't know how to tell him. Maybe I should talk to Theo about.... Bang! I hit the floor. Someone had knocked into me.
"Ouch!" I said looking up.
" oh my god! I'm so sorry Cecilia!!!" It was Theo. He shot me his hand and I took it.
"Thanks, sorry I had lots on my mind and I didn't see you." I responded standing up.
"No no it's all my fault, what's on your mind." Theo asked picking up all the books I had dropped. I sighed,
"It's Draco, he's making me a bit uncomfortable, he's moving to fast for my liking but I don't know how to tell him."
"Oh shit, that sounds terrible, I'm sorry I don't really know what to do to help you." Theo said handing me my books.
"Thanks, hey can I just like talk to you tonight about it? I don't know how to tell my sister and you really understand me Theo." I said. "I need to get to potions before Draco does or he will wonder where I went." I said reaching in to hug him. As I broke the hug I looked into his eyes. He looked back into mine, my heart started to beat faster and faster and we got closer and closer, but then he blinked and said
"Bye Cecilia see you tonight." I smiled and ran off.  That was weird, I thought to myself as I entered professor Snape's class, and I walked to the front of the room, and sat down at a free table.

P.O.V Eva Black
I had been avoiding George all week, unsure of what to say to him after what happened that night. I liked kissing him, and honestly wanted more than anything just to kiss him again. But part of me was scared of losing him as a friend, even though we rarely talked.

"Hey Eva." Matteo grinned, pulling me from my thoughts. "Oh hey Matteo!" I put on a fake smile, worries still shooting in and out of my head. "You look as gorgeous as ever." He winked at me, the butterflies where really hitting me now. Jesus I'd been kissed by my crush less than a week ago and now I was fawning over some other guy???? What the hell??

"Oh thanks," I smiled down at the ground. "How do you feel about lunch with me on Saturday?" He looked me directly in my eyes, not bothering to look away. I was so attracted to his confidence, and his mind blowing looks obviously, that I didn't even stop to think before saying yes.

"Great" he flashed a toothy grin, stepping very close to me. "I'm looking forward to it." He chuckled at my blatant response. "As am I." He pushed a lock of my black hair from my face, and leaned in towards me. Was he trying to kiss me????

He leaned in and planted a kiss on my cheek, my face completely heating up. He didn't kiss me. But did I want him to?

"I'll see you Saturday." He gave me a cheeky grin before turning to leave, leaving me standing there in awe like a complete idiot.

"EVA!!!" yelled someone behind me, before grabbing my arm and pulling me into a deserted classroom. "Eva." George smiled at me, and I felt a second wave of butterflies flying in for the second time in 5 minutes. "Hey George" I stumbled over my words, trying to collect myself. "Where have you been all week? I was starting to get worried." He was dangerously close to me, literally outlining my jaw.

"I was really busy with homework, you know how it is." He nodded. I must be a better Liar than I thought. "I was worried you regretted it." His cheeks turned red, but he didn't move his hands from my face. I shook my head. "Of course not." A grin flew across his face, and he leaned in to kiss me for the second time this week. He almost immediately bit my bottom lip to open a space for his tongue, delving in before I had time to think. I gripped onto his hair and pulled him closer to me, kissing him deeply. momentarily forgetting about the fact that I had just promised to go out with Matteo.

His hands reached down to grip my ass, and I froze, shock pulsating throughout my body. Did he really just do that? This went from an innocent kiss to a full on groping session. Well, maybe it wasn't innocent but it sure felt dirtier now. He didn't seem to notice my hesitance, but that was fine by me. He lifted me onto a desk behind me, and moved his hands back onto my face breaking out kiss to admire me. I looked away shy, even after what we had just done. He laughed, tucking my hair behind my ear, just as Matteo had done. Oh my god, what have I just done?? It's not like Matteo and I are together or exclusive or anything, but it still felt so dirty.

"So uh, are you free for lunch Saturday?" He asked, hopeful. His hands still roamed my face, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. "I wish I could, but I kind of have plans." His eyes dropped, and his hands fell from my face. Oh no.

"With who?" He asked, his tone dropping, and kept his eyes to the floor. "A friend." He looked up at me, looking into my eyes, not breaking eye contact. "You don't mean that. Who are you really going to lunch with?" I grimaced. I didn't exactly want to say I was going on a date, but if I told the truth and said Matteo, he would know. "I'm going with my sister." He nodded, the tension releasing from his jaw. I feel awful for lying to him, but I liked him a lot, and I didn't want to lose him. "Good. How do you feel about going with me for lunch Sunday then?" I nodded. "I can do that."

He grinned and helped me down from the desk. "You're beautiful." He whispered, taking time just to look at me. A small smile spread on his face, before he gently leaned in to place a whisper of a kiss on my lips.

"I'll see you Sunday, love." He said, smiling harder than I've ever seen him.
