Ivelle Silverwood

"That old man hugged you?" Draco said in a disgusted tone. I just told the group about my morning meeting with Professor Slughorn.

"Yeah, I think he felt some sort of pity for me in that moment," I said, recalling the odd hug.

"If I were you, I would have cursed him or something," Draco muttered.

Of course he would have.

Sometimes i question if I'm friends with a psychopath.

"Don't exaggerate, bro," Theo commented with a laugh.

"For real, Draco, you need to chill," Mattheo added, lighting a cigarette. Distracted, he bumped into a group of Gryffindor girls. One of them stumbled, and her friend had to catch her.

"Can't you watch where you're going?" the blonde girl snapped, giving him a dirty look before storming past us.

I could swear I'd seen her before...

Of course you have, Ivelle! You literally go to the same school!

"Who was that?" Draco asked, glancing back at the girl and her friends.

"That's Lucienna Mooney," Blaise explained casually.

"How do you know?" Sienna raised an eyebrow.

"Luna told me! They were best friends until fourth year."

"Why aren't they friends anymore?" I asked, now intrigued.

"Luna just said they grew apart."

How disappointing. I was expecting more drama today.

"Is it bad that I wanted more drama?" I asked.

Blaise laughed. "Is it bad that I expected nothing less from you?"

I grinned. "Nope."

"Guys, we should probably go do some Quidditch practice now. We want to make Gryffindor look stupid, right?" Theo said with a grin, and the boys agreed.

"Yup, we totally want them to lose and feel bad," Mattheo exclaimed, blowing out smoke.

Enzo turned to face Sienna and me. "I'll see you ladies at the game, right?"

I nodded eagerly. "Yes! I need to see my favorite boys win!"

Enzo smiled. "Wear my jersey from last year. I believe it will bring us luck if you wear it," he said with a wink, making me giggle.

"Okay, captain!" I replied with a smile.

"Hey! I'm the captain of this team!" Blaise interrupted, making me laugh.

"I know, and you're doing a great job, Blaise. Don't worry," I reassured him, knowing how much he wanted to be team captain since we were little.

"Well... thank you, Ivelle!" His face brightened.

"Hey Enzo, what if I want my best friend to wear my Trikot?" Theo asked, and Mattheo agreed.

"Yeah, what if I want her to wear mine?"

"You guys need to make clear who's best friend she is," Draco said, shaking his head.

"She's mine," Mattheo, Theo, and Enzo said simultaneously, glaring at each other, making me laugh.

"You're all my best friends!"

"But you can't wear all of our shirts at once!" Mattheo pointed out, taking a drag from his cigarette.
