Paint it Black

Empty Threats

Azalea's POV
I was sitting under a tree waiting for Evelyn and Daisy, studying the lesson Snape wanted. There was a feeling of peace when I was at Hogwarts I could be me. Just existing.
"Oi, Murphy." I heard a deeper male voice. I kept looking down at my text book knowing exactly who it was. "Im talking to you"
" Leave me alone Weasley. I don't have time for your bullshit." I rolled my eyes. He grabbed my face to make me look at him. I clenched my jaw putting my hand on my wand ready to draw it when needed.
"Your gonna pay for calling my girlfriend a whore. This year's going to be hell for you, you got that Murphy."his vindictive voice echoed in my head. I brought my wand to his throat
"Fuck off you twat." I growled pushing my wand deeper in his neck.
" What are you gonna do, Malfoy ain't here to protect you." He flashed his condescending grin.
"You know I'm capable of a lot more then you. Don't start a fight you won't win Weasley." I spit in his face. He stepped back whiping his face with his sleeve .
" Bloody hell." He yelled " you better watch you back Murphy I swear." He grumble walking away. Just in time because daisy and Evelyn were walking to meet me.
"Azalea! "Daisy yelled running to me crashing into my arms i squeeze her tight.
"Hey sweetheart." I rested my head on top of hers
"I don't think mom's gonna be happy she whispered
"And she doesn't have to be. Daisy we don't get to choose what house we're sorted into. You make who you are not the stupid sorting." I paused.
"Plus I think your in one of the best houses. Your surrounded by my friends and I think Hufflepuffs are pretty cool." I smiled
"I think so too." She nodded.
"Hey Daisy!" The little black haired boy from the first night shouted getting her attention.
"Hi Sebastian." She said standing up she looked back at me
"Go ahead. We gotta talk adult stuff anyway." She ran to the boy who I now knew as Sebastian.
"Now." I started. I turned to look at her " What the hell happened between you and ced over holiday"
"Wellllll." She giggled
"You two slept together didnt you?" I laughed she dropped to her knees and grabbed my hands.
" Yes but it was so much more then that." She paused swooning falling to lay on her back looking at the sky. "It was love" she smiled. It made me happy to see her finally feeling this way. She had been crushing on him for years. But he had a thing for cho.
"So are you to an item?" I asked
"Yes." She explained sitting up
"Awwwwwweeee yay!!" I hugged her
"Now it's your turn. What do you say how bout that lee Jordan boy "
"Yeah no way in hell. He's part of that twat rocket Weasley's entourage." I shake my head.
" I was kidding." She laughed. " What was he doing over here earlier I saw him walking away."
"Oh he was just dishing out empty Threats." I shrugged. " I don't know what his fucking issue is this year normally he doesn't start terrorizing me till later in the year."
"Hmm who knows. "
"Who's she bunking with" I asked looking at daisy who was tumbling down the hill with Sebastian.
" A bunch of first years. I believe" she said "she's gonna do great things Az"
"I'm sure of it. Promise me something though."
"Of course anything" Evelyn nodded
"No matter what make sure she knows not all Slytherins are evil." I looked at the ground fiddling with some grass between my fingers.
"I promise Azalea. Your not evil at all. Sometimes I wonder how we got sorted where we did. I came from a long line of Ravenclaws and you from a long line of Gryffindors yet we got placed in the opposite houses. Almost like fate." She always tried to see the brighter side of everything.
" I still think that hat messed up. I never belonged in Slytherin."
" Well I think your bad ass Azalea Murphy. So deal with it" she laughed.
The bell rung and I started getting up brushing off the back of my skirt and shaking out my robe.
"Sleep over my dorm tonight?" I asked her.
"Yeah of course" she smiled "come on daisy don't want you to be late" she called daisy up. I gave daisy one last hug before we went our separate ways. I headed to my transfiguration class. I entered the classroom. I barely made it through the doors when entire bucket of ice water was dumped over my head. I gasped. Professor McGonagall looked up from her book to see what the commotion was about.
Her eyes shot from me to the bucket that was suspended above the door then to the only fool holding a wand.
