Unbreakable Vow

16. One's Regret

Today I woke up sad. I didn't want it to go that bad with Hermione last night, especially in front of everyone. It was a dumb fight that really didn't need to happen. I hope not everyone hates me now. No one else was in the bedroom apart from Ginny.

Ginny: "Hey, how are you feeling?"

O: "Not well, I feel bad about yesterday."

Ginny: "Hermione feels bad too, you know. But both of you have a strong head."

O: "Hey I did nothing wrong, she is the one that has to apologize."

Ginny: "Yes and she will, just give her some kind of opening so that she can come to you."

O: "fine"

I get up, change, and head downstairs. George was waiting for me on the couch. How sweet of him. He gets up as I head towards him.

George: "Hey"

O: "Hey. Look, I'm really sorry for not spending so much time with you."

George: "It's alright, you were busy"

He is so nice I really don't deserve him. I hug him over the shoulders, going on my tippy toes. He hugs me tightly by the waist. I give him a small kiss on his neck. I know boys love that and I could tell he did by the way he hugged me tighter. I pull away from the hug. I didn't want to play too easy to get. I wanted him to want me bad.

O: "Let's go eat"

We headed downstairs even though I didn't want to go. I was apprehensive about the mood at the table after what happened last night. I hope it won't be too awkward.

George and I sit down next to each other. There were a couple of looks exchanged between the group in silence until Hermione spoke up.

Hermione: "I'm really sorry about yesterday O. It was wrong of me."

O: "I'm sorry too, I was tired and got angry too quickly.

Hermione: "no really, I shouldn't have said that about you."

I give her a faint smile. There was silence at our table.

Harry: "I could have been sorted in Slytherin too you know. It's not that big of a deal, we all have qualities that fit each house. But it's how we decide to use them or which ones we prioritize that matter."

O: "Damn. I didn't know that."

This Harry story is really weird to me. I don't understand what's going on with him and the dark lord and all that story. It must be hard to be him, he's very strong. But I don't think he trusts me that much, at least with what's happening with the dark lord. Apart from that we get along quite well.

After eating we headed to our class, History of magic. I like history. I think it's really interesting but I like practical classes more. Our next class was potions. I sat next to Blaise a bit worried about what my friends would say. I had no choice, we had assigned seats Now. So I decided to be cold to him and only talk if necessary.

Blaise: "Hey princess, what's up?"

O: "I'm fine"

Blaise: "Damn, is this about your fight with Hermione? Not my fault she's jealous of our friendship!"

I look at him surprised. How did he know about that?

Blaise: "Words travel fast at Hogwarts. So how jealous is she? You're basically her only girl friend, it must be hard for her. Nobody wants to be friends with a mudblood."

O: "Okay first of all don't call her that. Her parents might not be magical but she's way more powerful than you pureblood. And she has other girlfriends too."

Blaise: "okay sorry princess. But are we still friends?"

I look at him but don't answer. If I stay friends I will be risking my other friend's trust. But also it's not like I spend much time with Blaine either so it's not that bad.

Blaise: "oh come onnn"

O: "Fine. But don't call me princess, that's weird."

Blaise: "pff fine. Hey, come hang out with us at the stairs from the dungeons."

O: "us?"

Blaise: "yeah, with Draco, Pansy and some other friends."

We both look back at Draco and Pansy. She was looking out the window while swinging her chair. The Malfoy guy looked straight at us with cold eyes. He clearly wouldn't want to hang out with me

O: "yeah no thanks, I don't think your friend likes me so much"

Blaise: "What Draco? You're kidding right? He probably wants to fuck you, like all the boys in slytherin want to."

Excuse me what?

O: "what?"

Blaise: "well yeah you're super hot, who wouldn't want to fuck you?"

O: "um well I'm not some object you can just fuck"

Blaise: "no but like when I mean that I mean that everyone wants you, you know? Like to be their girlfriend and to be with them."

O: "yeah well that won't happen?"

Blaise: "Why, because of the ginger twin?"

O: "who?"

Blaise: "you know, one of the Weasley twin"

Of course I knew I just hoped it wasn't that obvious.

O: "oh, yeah we're just hanging out. I meant it wouldn't happen because none of the guys that apparently want me so bad have talked to me. So how would they think I would even consider dating them if I don't know they exist."

Blaise: "ooh so you're an open heart?"

He leans against my chair. I look him straight in the eye.

O: "no."

He bites his lip and looks at me.

Blaise: "too bad."

I roll my eyes.

O: "anyways I already have plans for after school so I won't hang out with you guys. Sorry"

Blaise: "playing hard to get huh? You're even hotter now."

O: "shut up"

We laugh. I couldn't tell if he was serious and flirting with me or not. I hope not, I liked our friendship. It's nice.
