Inferno | Draco Malfoy

017 | Goblet

Heather Laveau is insanely beautiful.

And for that, I'm losing my appetite every morning. I blame her for Camden's goo-goo eyes. It's been a couple of weeks and I'm still being thrown off my breakfast.

This is nauseating.

Of course, Laveau isn't the only pretty girl among the guests. Everyone has been talking about Fleur Delacour. She has the heaviest French accent which Theo finds "hot". Miss Delacour is undoubtedly stunning with her wavy blonde hair and elegant, graceful air. Not everyone has been talking about her positively though, there's a rumour going around that she's half-Veela.

Veela are magical beings who take the form of beautiful, youthful women with the movements of a swan. They essentially have the ability to put men into a trance with their voices and dancing. These men typically act out under the hypnotic gentle gestures, they embarrass themselves by acting foolhardy and irresponsible to try and please the Veela. However as much as the Veela loves the attention, sometimes the men cross the boundaries and the Veela loses their temper. Now, when angered, they switch forms and become scary creatures.

Of course, nobody knows if Delacour is actually half-Veela or not but, I do think she has Veela ancestry. What's most interesting is knowing who started this piece of gossip, I'm guessing either Pug-face Pansy or Etain Haine. Both of them love to gossip and won't hesitate to start false comments. Although, both of them do not like each other, even being in Slytherin house. Haine went as far as to publicly say that Pansy and Malfoy have an understanding because "there is no way someone as perfect as him could ever go so low for a girl like her".

Yikes.

How did Pansy respond? By calling her a "flirty tart with no chastity".

That's got to hurt. Not for Haine though, she took it as a compliment thinking that it was a good thing as it meant she can attract men (cough cough, with her body). Disgusting. Especially coming from a pure-blooded family, Haine is a prime example of the words 'raised badly'.

Apart from her robe, she wears the uniform fit for a first year. I'm not exaggerating when I say this, her school blouse hugs so tightly around her torso that the buttons look like they are about to burst. When any professor is around, Haine would have her robe fully on. The moment they are gone, she takes it off to "unintentionally" show her physique. It's worth mentioning that Miss Haine has been banned from two Hogsmeade trips for inappropriate clothing.

Seriously, how desperate are you for attention?

"Darling, why does your eye keep twitching at Haine?" Daphne's voice causes me to lose my train of thoughts. Good thing she interrupted me anyways, I didn't even realise that my eye was twitching at her.

Pansy curses and insults the girl down the table, quiet but loud enough for the nearby students to hear.

"Doesn't matter." I take a bite of my scrambled egg, shaking my head.

"What a witch." Theo sighs, "She keeps trying to sit next to me in Potions. Always asking for help with a baby voice."

Blaise chuckles. "I'm glad that I scared her off. She doesn't want to be anywhere around me now."

Blaise had scared Haine off by telling her that he might follow his mother's footsteps. Murdering his wives. The girl has been waiting for Daphne's demise ever since.

It had been roughly ten minutes after the double Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson with Professor unhinged Moody. He's barking mad. His nickname, "Mad-Eye Moody" literally makes so much sense. The professor had used the Imperius Curse on each and everyone of us, in the class at least (Slytherins and Gryffindors), his reason was to see if we could withstand the effects of the curse. Obviously it's illegal to use the spell on another person but Moody threw that rule out of the window and said that it's what Dumbledore "wants". I had witnessed quiet a lot of things in the past two hours, including seeing Neville Longbottom perform gymnastics, contortioning his body like an acrobat and seeing Vincent Crabbe saute and do pirouettes like a ballerina.
