Green is the New Black (Astrid)

chapter three

(TW? this chapter does contain underage drinking)

I stand up and motion for Johnny and Nicolette to accompany me. Nicolette seems nice enough, so while we were in the Great Hall, I made the decision to introduce her to the rest of the group.

We get to the Slytherin common room and find that everyone else is already there. "Harry, Hermione, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, Dante, Blaise, and Draco." I point to each of them as I say their name. "Guys, this is Nicolette." Everyone says hello except for Draco. I'll talk to him later, I think to myself.

Nicolette quietly stands behind me and Johnny. I turn to her. "Your room, you'll be with me," I say, pointing to our dorm. "Your stuff is already there." At least I hope it is... I mean I'm never wrong, but I suppose there is a slight possibility that she'll room with someone else.

Everyone starts chatting again, and I see Nicolette leave towards our dorm. I watch her shut the door before I walk up to Draco.

"What's your problem?" I ask him quietly so no one else hears.

"What the hell are you talking about, Ash?" He gets up from the couch and walks over to the cupboard housing the alcohol.

I follow him and grab a tequila bottle and a shot glass. "Nicolette. You didn't even wave."

"Hey, pour me a shot too," he says. "Anyways, nothing's 'my problem,' I just wasn't in a very friendly mood when you brought her to us." Draco shrugs and I pour a shot and hand it to him.

"Well try to be nice, okay? She apparently had a tough time at her last school so just don't be a dick." I grab another shot glass then pour myself a shot and clink our glasses together before drinking it.

Draco chuckles and drinks the shot as well. "Sure, Ash, I'll try not to be a dick."

"Good." I set my glass down and walk towards Fred and George. "Hi!" I take a big drink from the tequila bottle and sit on the floor next to the red heads.

"Hey," they say in unison. "So?" they both ask.

"So...?" I question.

"What's her story? Why'd she transfer?" Fred asks.

"People didn't like her." I shrug and take another drink.

"Ah, interesting... so, Ash, have you talked to Micah?" George asks me.

"Shut up, man," Fred hisses as he elbows George in the ribs.

"Hey, come on I'm curious," George laughs.

"Oh my god, sure you are," Fred shakes his head as he gets up and walks towards Ginny.

"...what was that about?" I ask George before taking another drink from my tequila bottle.

George shrugs. "I guess he's just touchy." He grabs the bottle from me and takes a drink then hands it back.

Everyone drinks and plays games until about midnight. Then George, Johnny, Fred, Dante, and Ginny decide to head back to the Gryffindor dorms and Draco and Blaise go to their dorms.

Once everyone vacates the common room, I sneak out and head towards the Ravenclaw tower.

"I'm tall when I'm young and short when I'm old, what am I?"

"A candle," I answer after a moment of thought. As soon as I walk in, I'm overcome with the warmth from the fire. I see a boy with dark, curly hair sitting in front of the orange flames and immediately recognize him.

"Hey, love," he says as I take a seat next to him.

"Hi, Micah," I reply with a smile. I rest my head on his shoulder and take in the smell of cologne and cigarette smoke.

Micah kisses the top of my head then turns back to the fire. "I was wondering when you'd show up." I can tell he's smiling.

I sit up and kiss him. "I was gonna come soonerr, but I got stuck in the middle of a drinking game." I chuckle and kiss him again.

He kisses back then says, "Ohh so that's why I taste tequila." He laughs and kisses me.

I nod then move so I'm sitting on his lap and kiss him roughly.

He kisses back with the same amount of passion then mumbles, "God, I missed you this summer."

"I missed you too." I smile then stand up, look at him, and slowly take my t-shirt off.

"What are you doing...?" he asks.

I throw my shirt at him then run out of the room and down the tower stairs. As soon as I reach the bottom of the staircase, I look behind me to see Micah chasing after me.

I smile and laugh before running off towards the main floor.

Micah catches up to me and picks me up from behind then whispers in my ear, "Shhh, you're gonna get us in trouble."

I chuckle and try to get out of his grasp. "You know, I'd be the only one in trouble if you hadn't followed me," I whisper.

"You took your shirt off, of course I was gonna follow you." He kisses from my neck down to my collar bone and I bite my bottom lip and smile.

He sets me down and spins me around so I'm facing him before roughly planting a kiss on my lips. Out of habit, I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him down to my level, and kiss him back.

He pulls away from the kiss, looks at me, and smiles. Then, I grab his hands and lead him towards the Slytherin staircase. "Where aree we going?" he asks with a smirk.

I smile and shrug. "My dorm?"

summary: Astrid introduced Nicolette to the friend group and they all played games and drank. After everyone went to bed, Ash went up to Micah's dorm and got him to follow her to the Slytherin dorms.
