Returning to Hogwarts always put a lot of joy in my body, I loved this school, and I loved going back there even more. What I liked least was the lessons but for those I couldn't do anything.
I was laying in my comfortable bed when I looked at the clock on the wall and even though I didn't see anything I still knew it was late.
I got up and went to the bathroom, the biggest mistake was looking in the mirror. I felt so uncomfortable with myself that I tried to look as little as possible.
I had loved my body for many years, but I was at a time when the judgment of others was worth more than my own morals, more than my own judgment.
Stop all this shit.
I took a shower to distract myself, and when I came out, I saw Pansy open the door.
«No, please go ahead» I mumbled.
«You're slow, darling, and I have to pee» she said.
«Oh, excuse me princess, it won't happen again» I said jokingly and she sticked her tongue out.
«Why are you laughing?»Daphne asked in a sleepy voice that came from the room.
Pansy and I looked at each other and laughed. We ended up getting dressed in a hurry because obviously we were late.
I arrived in the Great Hall that I had a lot of breath and I had to lean on the table to catch my breath.
«Are you okay Emmy, it looks like you're having a heart attack» Blaise said.
«I'm fine I need water» I said and poured the water to the edge of the glass, drinking it until the last drop.
«You should try to make the selections for the Quidditch team» Draco said.
«You see I'm already in the front row» I said and everyone burst out laughing.
Only then did I notice Mattheo, even though it was since I had been sitting that I could feel his gaze on me.
Over the years I had observed him a lot but he had always remained in his, spoke little with us girls and especially with me.
I looked at him in turn and saw a flicker in his eyes, as if he didn't expect me to return the favor.
«Who is the captain this year?» I asked, keeping his gaze.
«Me» Mattheo said.
«The asshole stole my place» Draco grumbled.
«It was always my place, and it would have been for years if you hadn't paid daddy to make you captain» Mattheo said and I had to stop myself from laughing.
That Draco was using his family's money was not a news, but that Lucius Malfoy had paid to get Draco in the team I did not know.
«I wish I could use Dad's money as he does» Pansy said.
I saw Draco getting darker and understood that her comment annoyed him.
