Sunny side

Rumours

As I woke up Enzo, Matty and Theo were already gone. I assumed Enzo had joined them two as they went outside smoking.
Theo and Matty had a really unhealthy relationship to cigarettes.
Enzo just tagged along most of the time to go outside. He didn't smoked.

Pansy and Astoria sat in my bed giggling over something on their phones.
Daphne was still fast asleep.

Blaise was still horrendously snoring.
And Draco looked like he wanted to sleep more but had his face covered with a pillow to muffle Blaises snores.
I got up and threw a pillow at Blaise what woke him up on instant.
He grunted and rubbed his eyes.

„Thank Merlin. I thought my ears would fall off"

Draco whined.

„Then wake him you drama queen"

I laughed and rolled my eyes.

„What are you giggling about?"

I asked looking over to Pansy and Astoria.

„Slept well beauty?"

Pansy said a little too sweet.

„Ehm yes"

I said raising an eyebrow.

„Looks like it"

Astoria grinned eyeing me up and down.
Then I remembered that I was still wearing Enzos sweater.
I got bright red and rolled my eyes.

„Oh shut up. I was cold. And Mattheos fat ass layed on my sweater"

I mumbled.

„Mhmmmmmm"

Pansy hummed.

I waved them two off and disappeared into my bathroom.
I looked into my mirror.
I replayed my conversation with Enzo in my head. Why had he asked this?

Pansy always teased me with saying Enzo and me would make the cutest couple in whole Hogwarts.
But I didn't wanted to hear it.
He was my best friend.
And I had seen how this could end.

I took my time in the bathroom and got dressed.
As I came back they all had left.
I assumed they would have went to breakfast.
So I grabbed Enzos sweater and made my way to the great hall to join them.

I raised my eyebrows as I saw a weird scene at the slytherin table.

Draco, Enzo, Astoria and Daphne were heavily holding back Blaise and Matty.
They were havily aguing over to the griffindoor table.

I came closer and leaned to Pansy.

„What's happening?"

She looked up and sighed.

„Potter again."

I rolled my eyes.
Potter took every chance to rile up the boys.
He was a prick.
He even got on the nerves of his own friends sometimes.
I knew this because I used to be pretty close with Hermione.

„What this time?"

„He called Blaises mother a whore"

Pansy huffed.
I rolled my eyes and with one heavy move I grabbed the shoulders of Matty and Blaise and sat them down.

„You two idiots. Really? Here? You will be in detention in seconds. Calm down. Learn to use your words"

I huffed.
Suprised by my strong move they just looked at me.
I overheard a stupid comment from Potter and looked over to him.
A cocky grin on his face.

„Mind your business Potter!"

I blaffed over.

„It's not my fault his mother is a whore!"

He laughed loud.
Not even the other griffindoors laughed.
I tightened my grip on Blaises shoulder sensing him getting back up.

„Bold to say in your position Potter. At least he has a mom"

I grinned evil.
Potters face dropped and hate flared up in his eyes.

„Watch your mouth!"

he spittet back.

„Or what? You're gonna go cry to your mommy and daddy? Oh wait yes you don't have any"

I laughed out.
Some of the slytherins laughed but mainly everyone was watching us.

„At least my parents don't beat me! What I would say is deserved. Look at you. No wonder you got cheated on. I heard the only thing you were good for was to fuck"

My face dropped to a stone cold expression.

„Harry what the fuck!"

„Oh my god that's to much"

I heard Hermiones and Ginnys voices.
My eyes pierced Potter.

„Watch your back Potter."

I said cold and turned to go.

I heard Matty yell something after me but I had to get out.
My mind was spinning.
I had to contain myself before I would do something I would regret.

Right in front of the great hall Hermione catched up to me.

„Aelia! Please wait!"

I stopped and turned around.

„What?"

I blaffed.
I relaxed slightly as I saw her guilty face.

„I'm so sorry. This was way to much. He crossed a line"

„Hell yes he did! I'm not even gonna ask where he got this from!"

„I'm so sorry. You don't deserve this. I tried to stop Ladwell but he had already told like everyone"

„Stop apologising Hermione! You did nothing wrong. Just tell him to watch his back. If I hear this again I won't stopp them"

She nodded slightly.
I looked at her and sighed.

„Can you...can you maybe send me what he said about me? I wanna know what bullshit he spreads"

„Are you sure?"

„Yes please. I don't wanna get suprised by any stupid rumour that goes around"

She nodded.

„Thanks. And sorry that I blaffed at you like that"

„I understand that. Don't worry."

I just nodded and went to go.
I needed fresh air.
This imbecile was really determined to ruin my life. But I wouldn't let him.

A couple hours later a got a list with things Ladwell had spread about me.
Pretty intimate details.
I felt embarrassed and humiliated.

We all sat in the common room.
The guys discussing on how to get revenge on Ladwell. I stayed still.
I didn't wanted to talk.
This was just like a nightmare.
