Broken Glass | D.M.

It's already 7pm, I need to start getting ready. I have no idea what to wear. I need to wear something that makes me look hot because Draco's going to be there, but I also can't wear a pick me girl outfit.

I try on what seems like 100 outfits before I finally decide on one; slightly baggy low waisted grey jeans, a teal cropped tank top, and a beige zip up hoodie. I settle on white platforms sneakers.

My jeans are a lot loser on me than they used to be, hanging off of my slightly defined hip bones. I guess that's what I should expect since I've lost exactly 16 pounds since I arrived at school slightly less than 2 months ago. I'm 90 lbs on the dot now. I feel a lot more comfortable in my body, but I still have a long way to go. At least another 15 lbs, and I'll be perfect. My recent weight loss has made me feel a lot more comfortable wearing more revealing clothes.

I do my make up; a bit of concealer to cover my under eye bags, winged eyeliner, and mascara. For my hair, I curl it slightly to give it a messy but cute "lived in" look.

After I'm done getting ready, I meet Raina and Ebony in the Ravenclaw common room to head to Slytherin. They both look so gorgeous, but especially Ebony. I really envy her skinniness, her body type is my dream body. Her thighs are the same width as her knees, giving her an almost skeletal look, but not quite - exactly how I want to look. Is she just naturally skinny, or does she have to try to look like that? Either way, I'd love to be as thin as she is. Don't get me wrong, Raina is beautiful too, but she has a more athletic body type, her muscles making her look slightly bigger than she actually is. It's just definitely not the look I'm going for.

"Are you ready?" Raina asks me.
"Yep," I respond, and we head to the Slytherin common room.

"Hey guys! The boys are waiting for us outside the castle to walk to Hogsmeade. We're still waiting on Charlotte but once she gets her ass down here we can go," said Esme.
"Char, hurry the bloody fuck up, you're taking forever!" Yells Maeve.
"Okay! I'm coming give me a sec!" Charlotte responds. A few minutes later, she comes down to the common room.

"Jesus Christ what took you so long? You've been getting ready for over an hour," says Maeve.
"I couldn't decide on an outfit," Charlotte responds.
"Aww gotta impress Blaise?" Esme asks in a playful tone.

Charlotte rolls her eyes.
"You know, not all of us already have a boyfriend like you do, Esme. I remember last spring when you were in my position and would take 5 times as long as me to impress Theo," she says.
"C'mon, let's go," Maeve says. And with that, the six of us leave the common room and exit the castle.

Once we're outside, I catch a glimpse of Draco and his dreamy blue eyes from afar. I immediately begin to panic. Even though I felt hot as shit before, I suddenly begin to feel hideous. I stop walking.

"Thiz, what's up?" Raina asks me.
"Huh? Nothing," I respond.
"Why did u stop walking?"
"No reason. I guess I'm just a little nervous."
"About Draco? You look hot as fuck, don't be nervous."

I smile and continue waking towards the boys.

"What the bloody hell took you so long? We've been waiting here for 10 mins already," says Theo.
"We were all ready except for Charlotte," responds Esme, emphasizing Charlotte's name and looking at her.
"All right, we'll let's get going," he responds.

We begin waking towards Hogsmeade. It's cool out, a lot colder than I thought it would be. But I try to ignore the weather and just have fun.

While we're walking, Draco and I begin to trail behind the rest of the group.

"You look really nice, Bee," Draco tells me. My heart begins to flutter and I blush.
"Thanks, so do you," I respond.
"I didn't know you were coming with us," he says.
"Yeah it was kinda a last minute thing. I didn't know either until this morning."

There's an awkward moment of silence. I need to say something, anything at all.

"Where are we going?" I ask him.
"Uh, Hogsmeade?" he says in a tone that makes it seem like he's saying 'duh'.
"Well no shit Sherlock, I meant where in Hogsmeade are we going."
"Oh," Draco chuckles nervously. "Probably The Three Broomsticks to get a drink."
"Oh, cool," I respond.

I look down and see Draco fiddling with his rings.
"I love your ring," I tell him, pointing to silver snake ring studded with diamonds and emerald eyes. 
"Thanks," he says, taking it off. He grabs my left hand and slides it on to my index finger.

"It looks better on you. You should keep it," he tells me.
"Are you sure?" I ask. This ring must be really expensive. But then again, the Malfoys are like, really wealthy.
"Yeah, I'm positive. It looks great on you."
"Thanks," I say and give him a big smile.
"Keep it safe for me, will you?"
"Always."

And suddenly, our romantic moment is interrupted.
"What are you two doing back there?" Blaise yells at us.

We catch up with the rest of the group. I walk with the rest of the group the rest of the way to Hogsmeade feeling really out of place. I mostly just listen to the conversation, but don't contribute; I don't know what to say, and I'm scared that I'll be judged if I say the wrong thing.

We arrive at The Three Broomsticks. Most people order butter beer, but Ebony and I get a shot of firewhisky. Although butter beer is delicious, it has so many calories; up to 350 calories for just one glass, and most people drink more than one. Although firewhisky still has 100 calories per shot, it would be strange if I didn't drink at all, and I'd much rather that than than 350 calories of butter beer. Plus, I haven't eaten anything today so 100 calories will be fine. As long as I don't eat anything else, that is.

When our drinks come, we all cheers and drink. It barely takes any time at all, less than 10 minutes, for me to begin feeling the effects. That's what happens when you drink on an empty stomach; the alcohol goes straight to your bloodstream.

15 minutes later, everyone is tipsy, and me ever so slightly drunk. We all leave The Three Broomsticks and sit outside in the town. Charlotte, Blaise, Theo, and Esme smoke a joint. The rest of us are content enough just with alcohol. I'm surprised Draco didn't partake, he's definitely not the type to say no to alcohol or drugs.

"I'm so hungry, let's go to Honeydukes!" says Charlotte.
"Looks like someone's got the munchies," Blaise remarks in a playful, flirty tone.
"Oh, shut up. Is anyone coming with me?"
"Yeah, I'm down," responds Theo.
"Me too," says Esme.
"If you're all going, Raina and I will too," says Ebony.
"What about you guys?" Charlotte asks looking at me and Draco.
"I'm good," I respond. If I let myself go in, I'll be tempted by the sweet smell of the store, and there's no way I'll be able to hold myself back. Especially not when I'm drunk.
"I'll stay with Bee," says Draco.
"Okay. We'll be back soon," Charlotte responds.

Before they leave, Esme whispers something in my ear. 'Good luck girlie,' she says. I'm assuming she's referring to me spending time with Draco alone, but she leaves before I get the chance to ask.
