CHAPTER 2

September 14th 1996

I woke up in my dorm. I was stressing about the fact I was going to spend most of my days with an absolute dick. Even worse his Dad killed my parents. I wasn't even a year old when they died.

I got up and got dressed. I put on Draco's jumper and walked out of my dorm to go meet my best friend. As I walked into the hall I spotted Fred sitting by himself on the Gryffindor table. I sat next to him and leaned my head against his arm. "I'm so tired," I said with a yawn.

"I can tell," he said with a laugh as he passed me a croissant. I took one small bite and placed it on the table. "C'mon Y/n please eat a little more." He said with a concerned look. I had struggled with eating but Fred always made sure I ate enough so I was healthy.

"Okay," I said with a small smile. I picked the croissant back up and took bites as Fred told me about this girl he had met in the hall.

"Y/n," someone said with a frustrated tone. I turned around and saw Draco and I moved my head from Fred's shoulder to look at him. "Where were you? You were supposed to come over last night?" he said with a frown. Draco always had separation anxiety and he hated when I would cancel plans without a warning.

"I'm sorry I forgot! Fred was helping me unpack," I said with a small smile hoping he would return it. He did not.

"You are always with this guy. What is he, your new boyfriend? Y/n I'm supposed to be YOUR boyfriend," he shouted and Fred stood up and pushed him back.

"Fucking chill we are just mates. Talk to her like that again and I swear," he said but he was cut off by a boy who stood tall over Draco.

"C'mon Draco, these fucking freaks are not worth your time," said the boy. I realised it was Mattheo and I scoffed.

"You're the freak here," I said as I stood up. Fred placed his arm around my shoulder with a smug look. Mattheo rolled his eyes.

"Draco why are you talking to such a self-centred bitch?" he asked and Draco fell silent. He refused to tell his friends about us so only Fred and George knew.

"No reason," Draco said as he looked at me with a guilty look. I rolled my eyes and Fred gave him a frown.

"Yeah, it was nothing when," Fred said but I cut him off.

"It's nothing. Piss off, the pair of you," I said as I looked Mattheo up and down.

As they walked away Fred yelled, "That's what I thought pussy." Mattheo span around and punched Fred in the nose. Fred tried to grab onto him but I stopped him by pushing him away from Mattheo.

"Why do you have to be such a twat!!" I said to Mattheo as I pushed him away. Draco stared at Fred with jealousy in his eyes as he walked towards his friends.

"Well if he didn't act like he's all that maybe I wouldn't have to do it. You fucking whore," Mattheo yelled. Before I could talk back Fred punched Mattheo in the eye. Mattheo's face grew with anger. "Control your dog."

"Go fuck yourself, asshole," I said as I pushed him away as I sat back down with Fred. I healed his broken nose with a spell and he placed his head on my shoulder. Mattheo walked away with a black eye he deserved.

"Sorry I didn't want to get aggressive but he called you a whore," Fred said and smiled. I gave him a reassuring hug.

"Don't worry. As long as you're okay then I am too. You are my best friend," I said softly. Fred smiled and the bell rang. It was time to meet our buddies.

Mattheo walked up to me with a frustrated emotion but said nothing. We exited the hall side by side but it was silent. Nothing was said. I saw Harry walking by with Draco and I could tell that wasn't going well. Draco gave me a small smile before mouthing to me about wearing his hoodie. I didn't respond.

"What's with you and Malfoy?" Mattheo asked with a raised eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and ignored him. "Don't fucking ignore me."

"I will ignore you all I like. You made my friend's nose bleed and you called me a whore," I said firmly as we proceed to walk to our lesson.

"Well, you are a fucking whore. All you do is hang around boys and let them touch you. It's a bit disgusting," he said with a grin. I pushed him against a wall.

"I ain't a fucking whore. They are my friends. How about you and Pansy hm? Seemed to be eyeing her up a lot. Does that make you a whore too? No. So stop being a dick and," I said but I was cut off by Mattheo grabbing my wrist tightly and pulling me up to his face.

"Don't you ever fucking speak to me like I'm equal to you? I'm better we both know that princess so let's get this straight. You ever speak to me like I'm below you I'll make sure you will be left on the floor begging for help," he said as he slammed me against a wall. I looked up at him.

"Let go," I said as I stared at my wrist which he had a tight grip on. He held on tighter causing me to feel a bruise coming. "Mattheo let go!"

"Do you fucking understand?" He asked with an amused look on his face. I tried to push him off but he stood his ground. I even tried to pull away but his hand had a hold of my wrist firmly.

"FUCKING LET GO!" I shouted as I kicked his knee. He let out a loud groan and released my wrist quickly to hold his knee. I ran away to my lesson and sat down in my spot. Yes, I knew he would sit next to me but I was at least able to get away for a couple of minutes.

As I was checking my wrist and saw a bruise on it, Mattheo barged into the classroom. I didn't look at him. I was too scared to. He walked over to me and sat down.

"You left a fucking bruise on my knee," he whispered angrily as he turned to look at me. I rolled my eyes.

"You left a fucking bruise on my wrist. It's all around it," I said as I looked away trying to avoid eye contact. Mattheo scoffed.

"I could have done worse but I didn't want to until you kicked me. Trust me, potter, that's barely anything," he said with a cold tone. I laughed.

"Is that a threat?" I said with a face full of amusement. He grinned at me.

"Of course it is. If my father can kill your parents I can kill you too," he whispered and I tried to laugh it off.

"Yeah right," I said as I looked at him trying to get a reassuring 'it's a joke', but he fell silent and had a smirk curling on his lips. I turned away quickly trying to breathe straight. I didn't think he was going to kill me but he seemed serious and at the time I was scared.

The rest of the day was shit but at least Mattheo was silent. Now and then he would push me into someone and I had to apologise but it could have been worse. I tried to keep my calm but now and then I would snap. He would laugh in my face and that was the response I got. It made me pissed off more. He knew how to get under my skin and I hated it. I fucking hated it.

I can't do this buddy thing anymore. I need to ask to switch.

SORRY ITS NOT THAT GOOD BUT I HAVE MORE PLANNED!!
