empathy *a Slytherin love story*

Can't I just Pet You and Call it a Day?

(AN, I love to see people reading, writing has become a way to express myself so I'm glad to see some readers. Please comment throughout! Also, I love having Theo be bi, in my head him being bi is cannon.)

"Love, it's time to wake up," Pansy said shaking me softly.

"You're oddly nice this morning," I grumble, giving her a confused look.

Then it hit me what today is. The first challenge. I have to fight a motherfucking dragon, as a fourth year. Not only am I fighting said dragon, but Dumbledore designed this challenge which means it will probably be scored on style points as well. I collapsed back into my bed and deeply sighed, as Pansy laid next to me. She put her arms around me as we lay together. After about thirty minutes she kissed my head before rolling from my bed and offering me a hand.

"Let's make you look fierce as hell," she told me with a smile.

I took her hand and walked into the bathroom, turning on the shower. I stripped off my pajamas and stared in the mirror. Sure, I have decent boobs and an okay ass, but what's the point if you also have a stomach? I am bigger, I don't have the stamina of the other contestants. How do I even stand a chance? I forced my eyes away from my subpar body and got into the lukewarm water. I washed my hair with my rose-scented shampoo. I put in my conditioner, then shaved my legs while the conditioner went to work in my hair. After I washed my body, I turned off the shower and stepped out to dry myself off.

I put on a pushup sports bra before putting on the uniform they gave us. I made sure at least some cleavage was showing before I came out of the bathroom. Pansy did my hair while I did my makeup. I did a Slytherin green smokey eye with a glossy black lip. Meanwhile Pansy did my hair in two fishtail braids, making sure to leave some pieces out in the front because it made me feel better about the way my face looked.

"You look incredible Saoirse, no matter what you think," Pansy said, before placing another kiss on the top of my head.

Me and Pansy are truly like sisters. I give her a smile before thanking her for doing my hair. Pansy hurried to get ready before opening the door so we could head down to the common room.  When we entered the common room, I felt all eyes on me. I wanted to shy away but knew I had to appear confident.

"Well damn," Theo said looking at me, making me blush.

"Thanks," I giggle making him smile.

"You're going to kill it. Also, Blaise told me to hand this to you," Theo said handing me a pretty silver vial with a red flame on top for the lid.

"Where is he?" I asked, putting the vial in my pocket after making sure the lid was on tightly.

"I'm not sure, he just said he needed to take care of something but wanted to make sure you didn't burn to death," Theo informed me.

I was a bit disappointed he wasn't here. After all, he's my best friend, the least he could do is show up for me. But I quickly masked that emotion and put on a smile. "I guess it's time to slay a dragon, huh?"

"Yes, it is," Viktor agreed, making me smile at him.

-Blaise's POV-

"Hey Nott, give this to Finnigan for me," I said tossing him the potion vile.

"Why can't you give it to her?" Theo asked me, his eyebrows knitting together as he caught the vile.

"I have something to handle," I told him, not clarifying where I was going.

"Mate, she's going to be hurt if she doesn't see you," Theo argued with me.

"She's strong, Nott. She will be fine," and with that, I left the common room and headed towards the Gryffindor side of the castle.
