Previously:

I looked down at my bracelet, which was the color orange. He is anxious. I smiled and blushed before I was dragged out of my thoughts by Draco yelling at me. "Y/N, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I have been worried sick!"

I giggled and stepped closer to him, "You? Worried? Hah!" He grinned at me, knowing I was right. He grabbed my arm and dragged me over to the sofa.

"I have so much to tell you."

Once I had sat down next to Draco, he began telling me all about him and Amelia, how they had gotten so much closer.

"No, really. Since you've been ignoring us, we formed a small little bond with Luna, Fred and George, and we have been inseparable since!"

I furrowed my eyebrows as I thought a moment. "Ignoring you?"

He nodded quickly in response and continued on. I stopped him by standing up. "I am not ignoring you." He paused and huffed "You are. I figured it was because of you and some boy thing you had going on but then I saw you and some other girl headed to Snape's room."

I panicked and tried to think of an excuse. I couldn't tell him. There was no way he would understand.

"Well-you see..." Before I could finish, he interrupted me, thankfully. "He's been giving you an awful lot of detention lately, hasn't he? Is this because I messed up on our potion? Well that wasn't your fault but I sure am glad you seem to have taken the blame."

I rolled my eyes and paced around the common-room. "Look, Draco. I know I haven't been the best friend or sister lately. I have been busy with things and until today did not realize how much it had been affecting all of you." He smiled and stood up with me. "Nonsense, Y/N. We have been having wits of fun without you!" Ouch. Could've been worded better.

I could feel several emotions beginning to pipe up. What he had said had made me angry, jealous and upset. I scoffed at him but figured it wasn't best to argue. After all, it was my fault I had been missing out. Even now...in the midst of all of this conversation, I feel like running back to Severus. I felt like he was the only one who wouldn't judge me. But I knew even he had his doubts about everything.

"Y/N? Hello? I have been speaking to you." He snapped his fingers and I looked at him. "What is it, Draco?" I was a bit tired now anyway. I figured I could just hide out in my dorm until I came up with a clever excuse to use for my friends. "Well...I said that everybody had been asking whether we were planning to have another party. I think it went rather good the last time."

I nodded along, not really listening. All I wanted was to take a rest. Not but a minute later, a bunch of students came rushing into the room, followed by the Slytherin Head-boy, yelling at them. Everyone gathered in a group to see what was going on. Apparently they had disrupted a class by pulling a prank on a student that was in there. I giggled quietly so nobody could hear. Draco smiled at me and ran over to the group to join in.

I rolled my eyes playfully as the door opened and Severus walked in. The group of students immediately went silent as the exhausted man glared down at them. He huffed and spoke calmly but fiercely.

"Students will not leave the tower for any reason. Curfew is after dinner, you will leave the Great Hall and return here immediately...not a second later."
