Dracos pov:
I get out of my desk and chair and leave my room to go find her, shes in Slytherin so of course I don't have to go far, and as I walk up the stairs to the girls dorm rooms I hear her voice, talking with someone.

I walk up more steps until I see her with Theodore, "—while Draco doesn't really fit into that category anymore, you're all friends with him and thats ok. I can be civil and in the same room with him without going into a fit." Shes talking about me, she speaks fast and she sounds a mixture between sad and annoyed.  "And either way, its not really your business. Thank you for being concerned, but I can handle my emotions, Im not a child." Definitely annoyed.

"So I would appreciate it if everyone's stop treating me as such!" And then she slams the door in his face. Well, not quite slam but it gives me satisfaction nonetheless.

"Trouble in paradise? I'd hate to think that its me causing such problems," I say with mock-sincerity. Theo turns towards me, "Malfoy." He says, "what do you want?"

"I need to talk to Xenia actually, so if you could excuse—" I go to open her door but Theo steps in front of me, a hand on my chest, "yeah fucking right, she literally stayed In her room for four fucking days because of something you said to her." He spat, venom in his voice.

"I know." I say, "I know I fucked up man, I fucked up and I need to fix it."

"No." Is all he says.

"Theo, let me go speak to her, I've known her for most of my life, she is my best friend and I will be damned if I let that slip away without even trying to fix it." I say, angry now, "she knows how to speak for herself and as she said before, this really is none of your business."

"Malfoy come on, talk to her tomorrow, just let her have this night of relaxation with her friends."

"Im busy this weekend and you and Pansy told me I should come to this stupid hang out, so I'll be there anyway."

Nott takes a deep breath and tried again, "look. I get you guys need to talk but if it goes badly she wont get to hangout with anyone and have a problem free night, but if youre just at the hangout, its easy, none of your issues are mentioned," I narrow my eyes at how he says issues, "and you dont talk, if you're that busy this weekend, talk to her afterwards. Okay?"

"Mm, no." I say, "not okay. Xenia is not a morning person, so I can't talk to her early tomorrow before I leave, she also tends to get moody and difficult when shes very tired, which she will be after being with people, so Im gonna talk to her now, if it goes well, excellent, if it goes bad, she'll have her friends to console her, also excellent, you can be the knight in shining armour. Okay?" I say, "okay."

Again, I go to open the door, again he stops me, "fucking hell Nott—"

"Fine. You do that, but you need to make time in your busy weekend, because you and I need to talk. Okay?" He says harshly, "okay." Copy cat.

He gets out of my way and starts to walk away, and even though I have questions, this is more important. I knock on the door, I hear a, "ugh who is it now," come from Parkinson and then the door opens.

Pansy looks surprised to see me, "Draco." She says. The other three turn to towards the door, "I need to talk to Xenia, Pans."

"Xin, you are very popular today," she says still looking at me and then she shuts the door in my face.

I blink, confused at what just happened, I open the door, "Pansy what the—"

"A minute please." She demands and once again shuts the door. How fucking hard is it to get to people these days. Jesus.
