Befriending the Enemy

Actions and their consequences

"What's up, baby? Do I intimidate you?"~

I woke up, disoriented. Another miserable morning. I didn't have the comfort of walking downstairs and seeing Harry.

Until I did. Except, it wasn't quite comfortable, instead, it made me want to throw up.

I saw Harry flirting with Lavender! The girl he has always talked shit of. I couldn't believe it.

He tucked her hair behind her ear and whispered something. Just like he did to me!

Ok, that was enough. I have to make him jealous. And I know just the person.

I made it to the great hall. Who could I possibly hit on, that wouldn't think it was suspicious. I scanned the tables, to see Lorenzo, Draco, Theo and Cassie, sitting in a corner. Blaise was nowhere to be seen. Perfect.

"Hey guys." - I said. "Hey. We where just talking about how Dumbledore definitely pulled back in the day-" I made my towards Enzo and started kissing him. "Uhm, guys. Hello? We're talking about Dumbledore here?" - Theo said, snapping his fingers near our ears. Enzo was all in. It worked perfectly.

"Daniella? What are you doing? Stop." - Draco said, pulling me away from Enzo. "What?"

"We're currently in the middle of the great hall, if you haven't noticed." - Draco whispered. "So?" - Enzo said. "So, there's teachers around."

I looked back to see Harry standing up and leaving, hopefully to the common room.

"Okay, then let's go." - I said, grabbing Enzo's hand. "Where?"

"To my dorm."

When we got to the dorm, I saw Harry talking to Lavender again. I would beat her up. I didn't care what anyone else thought.

Enzo expected to go to the dorm, "Come on," - he said. "Wait." I proceeded to kiss him, in-front of everyone. I saw Harry get pissed. Perfect. We finally made our way upstairs and Enzo started unbuttoning his shirt.

"What are you doing?" - I asked him, with an eyebrow raised. "What else do you want me to do?" - he stopped unbuttoning his shirt. "Look, I'm sorry, but I'm just trying to make someone jealous."

"I knew it. It's fine. I have hoes too." - he said rolling his eyes. "Who is it?"

"Who's who?" - I asked him as if I didn't just say I was trying to make someone jealous. "The guy, that has to be ten times better than me, because, come on." - he said pointing to his abs. They are pretty good.

"Oh don't tell me, Milo?" - He asked. I took the opportunity. I didn't even notice he was there, even though he spends most of his evenings in my common-room. "Uhm, yeah. How'd you know?"

"Male intuition." Seems like his balls are yet to drop.

"We'll stay here for a while, to make sure he believes it." - I said. "Fine, but can we makeout for a while?"

"You're lucky I have nothing better to do."

We were making out for what felt like twenty minutes, when someone banged on the door.
"Dani, Dani open the door." - Harry said. "Is that Harry Potter?" - Enzo said, startled. "No, it's Milo, his voice is very similar to Harry's."

"I'm busy!" - I said, "come back later." Luckily I heard him walking away. "Get out." - I said, "now!"

After another half an hour, I went downstairs and approached Harry. "What." - I said, in a bad mood. "I just wanted to let you know, that- uh."

"What?" - I said. "That me and Lavender are a thing..."

"What?" - I said with teary eyes. "Uhm, yeah. She asked me to be his boyfriend, and uh, I don't have anyone else who cares for me that way... So I said yes." - he stuttered. "Fine. That's fine. I don't care." - I said walking away.

"Didn't you say no?" - Ron said. "Yes, I did, but remember the plan." A huge smirk filled up my face.

So he's making me jealous on purpose. That's interesting...

I was walking down the halls when I ran into Enzo. "Enzo!"

"What's up." - he said. "I found out that Ha- I mean Milo, has a plan to make me jealous."

"Really? So we can keep doing what we're doing?" - he asked, excited. "Only in public, and sometimes."

It was now time for my cheer practice. I had my uniform on, and a pony tail. The practice uniform was a Gryffindor t-shirt, but it really depended on the house, and tiny black licras that toned my butt perfectly. I hope Harry's downstairs.

He was, thankfully. I couldn't help but notice how he couldn't keep his eyes off me, as well as the other boys in the common room. These men need to stop feeding my ego.

I was walking looking straight ahead, with my AirPods on playing "B.A.S.", feeling confident with myself. Until I felt a hand grab my butt.

"I'd do you any day, even if you didn't want to." - Cormac said, with a disgusting grin on his face.

I stood paralyzed with fear and disgust. "What's up baby, do I intimidate you?" - he said, with that smirk still on his face.

I suddenly saw a hand punch him to the floor. It was Harry. Harry was surprisingly strong, due to all that quidditch training. He would easily win, if it wasn't for Hermione screaming at him to stop, distracting him.

I almost cried. I didn't mean to start all this. I didn't mean to be like this.

Suddenly, I felt a tall man pull me into the corridor. "Milo? What are you doing." - I asked, surprised to see him. "Look, I know how much you love Harry. I was on my way out either ways, I'm coming with you to the practice, I just can't let you walk alone like this."

"But I was going with Mari-" - I said before he spoke over me, in that rich american accent I was so attracted to in third year. "Then when you get there, I'll leave. Harry's going to kill me if he finds out." I've never even seen them talking, what's all this about? "Okay. Then, we should head to the field, or else I'm going to be late."

When I got to the field, Maria was already there. I said goodbye to Milo. "Thank you, really."

"No need to say thanks, you know I was always there for you right?"

That made me feel more safe.

"Did you hear what happened? Some guy slapped a girl's ass and Harry got into a fight, but thank god no teacher found out. They both would've been expelled." - she said, as if I never knew. "Maria, that girl was me..."

"What? I know that's horrible, but how is it you've got every boy wrapped around your finger? Like they all care for you, even Blaise. He keeps asking about you, to make sure you're alright." Out of all the people in the world, I never expected Blaise would care for me, not after all the things he said to me.

After the cheer practice, we finally finished the choreo for the pep-rally.

When I got back to the common-room, I approached Harry. "Hey, so about earlier..."

"No Daniella. I defended you, because I hate Cormac, that's all. I'm still not talking to you."
Those words broke my heart. "I'm with Lavender." - he added. "No you're not, I heard Ron the other day."

"So what? Not like it matters." I don't know what I could do to fix our friendship, so I stupidly asked: "What can I do? To be your friend again. Best friend."

"Prove it." - he said, without hesitation. "Prove what?" - I asked genuinely not knowing what he was talking about. "Prove what I've been trying to make you prove this whole time."
