Playing with a potter

~Chapter 38: monopoly ~

INOLA POV:

It was the next day after the party and we were all slightly hungover.

Me and Enzo who were the least hungover of the group were currently sat in the library after lunch helping one another with Herbology as we were both shit at it. And I mean SHIT.

"Why the fuck is this so hard man" Enzo said whilst slamming his head onto the table. "Fuck that hurt" he winced and rubbed his head. I laughed at his stupid actions and said "oh cmon enz it's not soooo bad" which caused him to look at me and raise his eyebrows. "Yeah no it is bad I hate it. A lot" I said slouched back in my seat.

"Hey guys" I heard Harry say as he sat in the seat opposite me. "Hey" me and Enzo said in unison. "You guys okay" Harry said looking at me and Enzo who I might add we were both in oversized clothes looking dreadful. "Yeah just slightly hungover nothing much" I said looking at my brother.

"Oh yeah happy birthday for yesterday Enzo" my brother said looking towards Enzo sending him a slight smile. "Thanks bro" he replied and gave him a handshake.

"So what you up to" Harry said. "Bloody herbology. It shit" I said slamming my book shut on the table and pushing it away from me. "It's not that bad" Harry replied looking at me.

Me and Enzo both gave him a look as if to say shut up it really is that bad to which I think he got the hint because he said bye and left.

"Ugh I need a smoke see you later enz" I said standing up and placing my books into my bag and placing it over my shoulder. "See you Nola common room at 3?" "You know it".

I left Enzo in the library and made my way up to the astronomy tower stairs slightly out of breath but that's nothing new.

I got out my cigarettes and lighter and walked over to the railing and looked out.

I was about half way through my cig when I heard 2 voices laughing as they came up the stairs. They were girls laughs so I knew it wasn't any of the boys and they were too high to be pansys. Plus she only like me and the boys so that was a given there really.

"Oh hey Inola" I heard a familiar voice pull me out of my thoughts as I whipped my head around to see 2 first years stood infront of me. Daisy and jasmine.

"Oh hey guys I thought it might have been you coming up the stairs" I smiled at the two girls before taking another drag from my cigarette.

"You know that's bad for you right" jasmine said and stood on my left with her arms crossed giving me a disapproving look. "Welp once you've lived my life hun you can tell me that again" I said exhaling some smoke.

"What do you mean by that" Daisy said from next to jasmine. "Sit down your gunna need to" I said putting out my cig and throwing it off the side of the tower.

I sat down opposite the two girls and they both looked at me confused.

"Well then I better get started I guess. So basically as you know mine and Harry's parents got killed right in front of us. It was you know who. He's been out to get me and Harry from the day we were born. Fuck knows why but he was and still is, more out for Harry than he is for me. Anyways moving on from that. We grew up living under some stupid old stairs for the first 11 years of our lives up until the end of first year when our life finally started to turn around. Then a few years later my name got pulled out for the tournament which change my life for good. Yeah I won but the win wasn't worth it. I watched one of my best friends get killed right in front of me by the same person, if you would even call him that, who killed my parents. And it just kept getting worse and worse. I went into a deep depression through 5th year as my god farther got killed by his own blood and no one could pull me out of it until one day I decided enough was enough and I sorted myself out. And now I'm in 6th year and the happiest I have been in years. I have my friends back and I now have mattheo and me and my brother grew closer over this year so far. But there's more that I can't tell you. Not yet anyways" I said to the two girls in front of me.

"Wow" they both said in unison which caused me to chuckle a little. "You really did go through a lot of shit" Daisy said. "Oi language young lady" I said pointing at her and raising my eyebrows disapprovingly. "Sorry" she muttered looking down.

I then looked at the clock on the wall and noticed it was 2:55 and I had to be in the common room for 3. "Shit I gotta go girls see you later" I said standing up and rushing over to the stairs. "Bye Nola" they said in unison once again.

And just like that I was racing from one end of the school to the other.

I got to the door and said the password 'pure blood'. Pathetic I know.

I noticed the group all sat around the table in the middle of the room setting up monopoly. Oh no. This won't end well.

"Guys what have I told you about playing that shitty ass game" I said making myself noticed and taking the seat next to mattheo. "Okay Nola this game. Is not shitty. Okay. It's fucking AMAZING" Theo said from the solo arm chair.

"Whatever you say Theo but count me out" "yeah in with may on this one guys count me out to" pansy agreed from the other side of me.

"Cmon girls it can't be that bad. I'm in lads" mattheo said from next to me. I shook my head knowing this was about to end badly.

Approximately 7 minutes in they were already screaming at one another.

"DUDE GIVE ME MY MONEY"
"FUCK OF BLAISE YOU STOLE MY LAST RAIL ROAD"
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD I GIVE YOU MONEY. YOUR IN FUCKING JAIL"
"JUST GIVE HIM THE FUCKING MONEY"
"BLAISE GIVE ME MY RAIL ROAD BACK"
"MY FARTHER WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS"
"SHUT UP DRACO YOU DONT GET TO TALK AFTER LEAVING ME WITH 10 FUCKING QUID"

And that went on and non for about an hour I would say. Yeah an hour. And my god I had a banging headache about 2 minutes into the game.

"MATTHEO YOU PRI..." Blaise started but I cut him off by saying "SHUT UP THE LOT OF YOU AND GIVE ME THAT FUCKING GAME" and grabbing the board game in front of us and tossing it into the fire.

They all looked at me heartbroken "oh grow up you lot it's a fucking game" I said rolling my eyes and grabbing mattheos hands and leading him into my dorm.

"You okay baby" he said pulling me into a tight hug. "Yeah I'm okay now I'm with you" I replied whilst looking up at him smiling.

He pulled me in for a kiss and picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his torso laughing.

He threw me onto my bed and looked down at me smirking. "Mattheo no I swear to god don't you dare. Matty no.. no no no don't" I squealed as he started tickling every inch of my body.

He continued this for about 10 minutes and when he finally stopped I gave him a death glare and rolled over onto my side facing away from him.

"No baby cmon don't do this to me" he said but I just gave him silent treatment. He kept nagging at me to speak to him until he had a lightbulb idea. "Okay then I guess I will just go hand out with the boys then" he said standing up from the bed. "Oh hell no sit your ass back down now" I sternly said to him raising my eyebrows at him. "Yes ma'am" he replied and sat down faster than I've ever seen him move.

"Come here love" he spoke softly pulling me into a hug.

I cuddled up into him and he started playing with my hair that sent me off into a deep sleep.
