Pansy had never heard her best friend talk about a boy the way he with this one. She'd only ever heard him say stuff like 'Oh my god, he's so good in bed like I can't even' or 'He's completely submissive I've never loved being in control more' and other sexual things that she didn't want to hear.

She knew that Draco Malfoy had to be in love, or at least crushing hard on this new boy. And she knew, by the way he was described, she would love him.

Blaise was thinking the same thing. Because of "bro shit", he heard Draco's sexual encounters in much more detail, in a much more horny way. He didn't want to hear it, but he did.

He'd never heard someone talk about a person so passionately. So affectionately.

"Draco, baby, I think you're in love."

I will not admit that. At least not now. I'm not sure it's love either.

"I think it's just a crush." He shrugged. "No big deal."

"Love, you've never talked about someone like that. It's a big deal." Pansy grinned. "Usually it's just you talking about how much you want to pin someone against a wall and-"

"Alright, alright, I get it." Draco laughed. "This boy's different."

"Splendid. He got good friends?" Blaise asked. "I'd love to get away from Crabby Pants and Pain in the Goyle."

They were a group of five, but the three of them hated the other two most of the time. How they even became a group, the three were unsure.

"I think so."

"So, you wanted to get his bullies to back off? Any details we can use to help find out who they are?"

"Homophobic,-"

Pansy clenched her fist. "Right, we're done. I want to take them down."

"Agreed."

"What I was saying was, homophobic, love to bodyshame-"

"Oh now they're really going to get taken down. Fuck body-shamers. I fucking hate people who put other people down because of their body." Blaise's fist was clenched too.

"Don't we all." Draco sighed, knowing how shit it was from a personal level. He wondered if he should tell his friends about his bulimia.

But he wasn't sure they'd understand, so he kept silent.

"I'll text Theo, he should know who would do that."

Theodore Nott, bully and bullied. He stopped bullying once he found out someone turned to self-harm after what he'd said. He then got picked on by the people he bullied with, and stopped eating.

He was lucky someone noticed, a girl he liked noticed, before he could fall too deep into an eating disorder. He was lucky to be supported in recovery and recovered sooner than Draco would ever be able to.

So, Theo became untouchable, friends with more 'powerful' bullies. People with a higher status. After all, that's how schools work. The higher the status, the lower the harm done, at least for them.

"I just want him to be happy." Draco sighed.

"I know, Dray, I know." Pansy rubbed his shoulder, and Draco leaned on hers.

"He said that there are four people in specific, three Ravenclaws and a Hufflepuff who pick on the 'freaks' of Hogwarts and let them know how worthless they are." Blaise began. "Goldstein, Boot, Corner and Smith. Zacharias Smith has a history of assaulting and the rest have a history of bodyshaming."
