♡..Girl's Night..♡-24

"Well 𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐇, Pansy and I were kind enough to invite her to Girl's Night" I say looking the scarred boy up and down.

"And what do you plan on doing at 'Girls Night Blackwood?" Weasely spoke harshly making my smirk widen.

"I would 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 to tell you Ronald but it's called Girls Night for a reason Weaselbee" I taunt as I knew it would only raise their suspicions, I couldn't give a shit if they didn't believe me or not. I was still taking Hermione.

"Well we better come along,don't you think? A Slytherin and Gryffindor don't look good together" Harry spat harshly even more on edge as Hermione face-palmed.

I slightly raised an eyebrow at the red-head beside Hermione who seemed the most furious.

"Not trying to be 𝐑𝐔𝐃𝐄 Harry" I paused as i mocked his name,"But Potter himself and Ronald going to the 𝐒𝐋𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍 common room,dont think that would be the safest?" I looked at them skeptically knowing that wouldn't end well.

It was like they wanted to get jumped by Slytherins. Harry and Ron glanced each other as if making an agreement through looks saying I was right.

Ofcourse I am, I always am.

Don't get me wrong us Slytherins are misunderstood in every way but we know what we want, and will always succeed in getting it.

Some Slytherins are quiet and enjoy being by themselves not causing trouble but most Slytherins are and will always be chaotic and I know some would love to see Harry Potter himself in the common room,not for good reasons though.

"Anyways I don't think it's really up to you two,Granger what do you say?" I ignore the two boys' stares and look over at the awkward Hermione standing sheepishly.

Hermione hesitates for a moment before clearing her throat and responding, "I...I suppose I could join you It might be a nice change of pace." She gives a small smile, grateful for the invite.

I replied with a sarcastic tone, "Keep up, boys. Hermione might actually teach you a thing or two about having a good time." I smirk playfully at Harry and Ron, enjoying their stunned expressions.

Harry and Ron exchange annoyed glances before Ron responds, "Oh, please. Like we need Hermione's help to have a good time." Harry chimes in, "Yeah, we can have our own, thanks." The two boys try to maintain their cool, but it's clear they are feeling a bit defensive.

As Hermione and I walked through the dungeons on our way to the Slytherin common room, I couldn't help but notice the looks she was receiving from the other Slytherins. I couldn't blame them; after all, she was a Gryffindor walking through our territory.

""Um, perhaps I should...erm, maybe consider heading back?" Hermione suggested nervously, her Gryffindor pride clashing with the uncomfortable atmosphere of the Slytherin dungeons.

I rolled my eyes at Hermione's stuttered sentence, knowing she was feeling out of place.

But before I could say anything, I saw her tense up as she made eye contact with Tom Riddle,immediately looking down as he passed.

That's when I decided to take charge. I halted in my tracks, looking around at the curious gazes of my fellow Slytherins. And then I did something unexpected - yelling out,

"Does anyone have a fucking problem?"

The tension in the air was sensible as everyone quickly averted their eyes, returning to their business without a word. I couldn't help but smirk as I turned back to Hermione, who was looking at me in disbelief.
