If i thought the workload in fourth year was bad i was sorely mistaken. Essays and projects had been piling up ever since the start of the school year and now as October neared, i worried about getting it all
done. It wasn't just me though, the only person who
didn't seem bothered by the workload was Ron, and that was to be expected, it was comforting in a strange way. At least one thing stayed the same.Students clambered into the library each evening, and some, more eager to do well, joined study groups in the early morning and evening before and after classes. Usually, Hermione, Luna, Ginny and I work together after school doing our homework and helping each other out. Luna is possibly the sweetest person in our whole year, i couldn't have picked a better girl for Blaise, and Ginny is hilarious, always making jokes to help us get through the homework. It feels good to finally have some more girlfriends, something i've never had before apart from Mione of course. Now as i sat beside my new friends, clearing away my stuff we began to talk about boys.
"So...I may have heard you've been on a few dates with Dean Thomas recently", Hermione asks Ginny slyly.
"If you call snogging a date then yes", Ginny winks.
"Is that why Ron's been nonstop complaining about Dean then?", I say, putting the pieces together.
"It's none of his business", Ginny snaps.
Hermione laughs at this, "Ron is the nosiest person i know".
"Hey, it's not just me! Luna and Blaise are quite the spectacle these days", Ginny says, grinning.
"He's lovely", Luna says, dreamily, "it's a shame we can only go to hogsmeade together though. It gets quite boring after a while".
"I agree.", I sigh. Not that i'm going on any exciting dates at the moment".
"Oh shush. Almost every boy in this castle is dying to take you out", Hermione hits my arm playfully.
"Oh yeah, like who?", I ask.
"Let me think...Harry, Theo, Mattheo, Seamus, Neville...Oh and Draco!", She says triumphantly.
"Draco?!".
"Ooo yes!", Luna cries unexpectedly. "Blaise is always telling me about how Draco is head over heels for you", She smiles.
Ginny nudges her, "Luna! I don't think Blaise intended for you to tell (Y/N) that".
"You're all absurd", I say, brushing away the thought of Draco talking about me, or even thinking about me in that way.
"Not a chance. We're like siblings".
"Pfttt. Sweet home Alabama then", Ginny jokes.
Hermione and Luna burst into laughter. "Fuck off", I say but i can't help laughing along.
"Anyways, we could plan something for halloween. Like go somewhere outside of school?", I smile cheekily.
"We're not allowed", Hermione says matter of factly.
"So?", Says Ginny, beaming. "I think it's a great idea".
"Sounds good to me", Luna says and glances at the clock. "Shit. I've got to go meet Blaise", She hugs us all goodbye and off she goes.
"I'm gonna go too. I'm wrecked", I yawn.
"Yeah right. Sneaking off to see lover boy", Mione giggles.
"Ooooo", Ginny jeers.
"Piss off. Hey, we'll talk more about our halloween plan's tomorrow yeah?", I say getting up from my comfortable seat and grabbing my stuff.
"Ugh fine", Hermione rolls her eyes but i can see she's just as excited as i am.
"That's code for yes please!", Ginny teases and Hermione shoves her so that she's almost off her chair.The common room is mostly empty, apart from Theo, Mattheo and Draco who are sitting around smoking cigarettes near the only open window. As soon as Draco sees me coming he gets up and pulls over a chair. I smile gratefully, "Thanks Draco".
I glance at Theo and Mattheo, "Long time no see".
"It's been far too long", Theo says exhaling smoke.
"Dracos been keeping you hidden away", Mattheo jokes but Draco scowls.
"Nah, i've just been busy", I say which isn't an outright lie. Between the death of my boyfriend and the return of Lord voldemort I haven't had much time for partying and social activities.
"You got any plans tonight darling?", Theodore asks charmingly.
"Not really, Maybe catch up on some reading...", I say as they begin laughing.
"It's a Friday night!", Mattheo chuckles.
"You clearly do not know (Y/N) very well", Draco grins.
"No. But i'd like to", Mattheo smiles directly at me making me blush.
Draco rolls his eyes and ignores him, "Blaise with Luna again?", He asks me.
"Of course. It's impossible to get either one of them alone nowadays."
"For fuck sake. He promised to get me some smoke tonight", Draco puts his head back against the armchair and closes his eyes.
"Smoke?", Theo says at once.
"Christ you're such a scabby bastard", Draco laughs.
"I was going to offer some but alright". Theo says.
"Really?".
"Well. If we all smoked it together", Theo said looking directly at me.
"I don't see why not?", Mattheo adds.
"You think i don't know what you're doing Theo", Draco said suddenly, eyes cold and firmly placed on Theo.
"What? I'm bored", Theo responded innocently.
"What do you think (Y/N)?". Mattheo asked.
I look at Draco, his eyes pleading me to say no and something about that intrigues me. I want to find out why he cares...if he truly is jealous or if Hermione has plagued my thoughts completely.
"Sure", I say.
