He is standing right behind me.

He stands so close that I can feel his breath on the back of my neck.

I take a tiny step forward and slowly turn around.

He stares right into my eyes.

And there it is again, that stupid grin at the corner of his mouth.

"So, have you thought of a way to fix this yet? Because, well, that could really hurt my reputation." he says with considerable arrogance.

"No, as I'm sure you know, I've been busy studying all evening. I'll think of something, don't worry," I say quietly.

"Of course. Studying. I'll give you until tomorrow night, my dear. That should be enough time for someone who doesn't have that much to do except study." he replies in a sombre tone without taking his eyes off me.

He makes me nervous and intimidated even more than I already am.

I nod and avert my gaze to leave.

"Remember what I said, Lexi." he says lightly as he leaves.

Great, what am I going to do now? I should probably talk to Pansy and Maya about it after all - they already know anyway. And besides... three heads are still better than one, right?

After this encounter, I make my way to my dorm, open the door, close it behind me and drop my books.

I lean my back against the door with a big sigh and close my eyes to review what has happened.

I hear someone walking towards me and I open my eyes, I see Pansy.

She comes closer and takes me in her arms and asks: "Hey sweetie, what happened? You don't look so good."

I breathe in and out deeply and then begin to tell them.

"I told you about the time Malfoy showed up here to ask me if everything was okay after the incident with Theo. I don't know if you noticed at the dinner table in the Great Hall, but Blaise saw me looking at Malfoy and of course Blaise now thinks there was something going on between Malfoy and me. Now Malfoy is expecting me to fix it with some lie. I'm at a complete loss, he gave me an ultimatum two minutes ago. I have until tomorrow night..."

"That's typical of that snoot. We'll work something out, okay? But for now, let's get ready for bed." said Maya.

Maya has always been the sensible one of us, always sleeping early, always being good.

I sit down on my bed and look across our huge dorm.

I look towards the middle of the room where our hot tub is, look at Pansy and she understands my look immediately.

She runs to her wardrobe, takes out bikinis and a bottle of vodka and says :" Okay, got it. Let's go!"

I just grin like an idiot, stand up and snatch the bright pink bikini out of her hand and run straight to the bathroom to get dressed.

At times like this, I'm really glad for my father. He did everything to make me feel comfortable here - whether I wanted it or not.

I wanted discretion and I got it in the back part of the girls' dorms.

The next dorm is at least 7 metres away and reinforced with thick brickwork.

But now I can't imagine a better place to call home.
