The Slytherin Legends|| Slytherin boys

Chapter 20

I'm walking to the black lake with the weirdest feeling in my gut. I honestly have no idea why I agreed to this date but it's too late to turn back.

Harry is sitting on a blanket with a basket next to him.

"Hey Isa" he greets. "Hi" I smile as I sit down.

"You look really nice today." He said shyly. "Oh! Thanks! You look good yourself." He gives me a small smile before handing me a sandwich.

"Isa, I have to ask; are you and Mattheo a thing?" He asks awkwardly. "No! Certainly not! Why does everyone think that?" I groan. "Because you look like you're dating. I heard that you sometimes sleep on his bed." "Ehh...it's rare but it's always because he wants to take care of me. Why're you asking?" I question.

"Cause, er, I always kind of liked you, and I knew that I had no chance if you were dating him."

Harry somehow manages to say this awkwardly and casually at the same time.

"Oh, well I'm sorry Harry, but I don't really like you back. I just don't think that I'm the one for you. I'm sorry." I say softly. Harry sniffles slightly and nods. He just stares at the lake so I take it as my cue to leave.

I felt really bad about what happened but me and him wouldn't work out. I head back to the school and go to the courtyard. Regulus, Enzo, Tom, and Draco were seated under the tree, where I joined them with a sigh.

"So, how did your date go? Are you the first one in our group to be dating someone?" Regulus teased. "Excuse you! What are me and Astoria then?" Draco exclaimed. "That'll never last." Enzo laughed slightly. "And why not?" "It just won't." Tom replied, tearing his gaze from his book. "Anyway...no. That picnic was nothing but awkward. We talked, he asked me if I was dating Mattheo, I told him no, he told me he liked me, I turned him down, and then I left." I said in one breath.

All the boys but Tom burst out in laughter. "That's our girl; the heartbreaker." Regulus chuckled. "Mind you. I felt horrible." I pointed out. "You shouldn't. It gets easier, plus you're going to have to get used to it." Draco confessed. "What do you mean 'I'll have to get used to it?'" I ask. "He means that you're a pretty girl, so boys are going to ask you you out a lot." Tom clarified for me. "Don't let Mattheo hear that!" Enzo cackled. "Well he's not wrong." Regulus told me as he saw me rolling my eyes. "Well I appreciate you guys saying that I'm pretty, but we're just friends. Nothing else." I smile as I got up. "Wait! Wilson, we're going to watch the hippo birds execution at 4. Are you coming?" Draco questions. "No, sorry. I promised the girls that I would hang out with them."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The girls are all complaining about how the boys they like aren't giving them attention but I'm zoned out in the corner since that is not something that I have to deal with.

"Isa! Isabella!" Stephanie calls out.

"Yeah?" I reply tiredly.

"Can you please try to set me up with Regulus?" She groaned. "I can try...he's pretty chill, but he might say no." "That's fine, at least you will have tried." She said excitedly.

I get up from my bed and head to the boys room. They're not there though.

Shit. They're watching that stupid birds execution.

I sit down on Tom's bed and pick up the book that he was reading. I start reading from the page that he left off.

I casually lay down on the bed and continue to read.

I read about one fourth of the book before I fall asleep.

I probably slept for fifteen minutes before a bunch of voices invaded the room.

"Today is not your year, mate." I hear a laugh following the sentence. Theodore.

I groggily force myself to sit up.

"If I didn't love you staying here, I would say that you're getting too comfortable with us." Five chuckled at me.

"I came to ask you all something but I forgot that you wouldn't be here. What happened?" I say gesturing to Draco's bleeding nose.

"Granger punched me." He grumbled.

"Did you deserve it?"

"No!"

"You kind of did." Enzo laughed.

"You were acting like a dick." Regulus chimed in.

"You can keep the book." Tom nods towards the book next to me. "What did you want to ask?"

I get up and walk up to Regulus. "Can you spend some time with Stephanie? She really likes you."

"Why? I don't want to. I don't like her." He sighed.

"Just once? I'll come with." I offer.

Regulus has a small smirk growing on his lips. "Fine. IF Mattheo comes as well."

I frowned at his words.

"Really? Is that really necessary?"

"No...but then I won't ask her out."

"Fine." I murmured as I walked away. "Tomorrow at six. We'll pick you up. Tell her to dress nicely." Regulus told me before I walked out.

I open the door to my dorm and begrudgingly go to the closet.

"I got you a date with him, but he forced me to come along with Mattheo. We'll sit at different tables though. Dress nicely."

"Thank you so much, Isa! How can I repay you?" She squeaked.

"Make this date worthwhile." I reply dryly.

She nods quickly and prances into the closet.

I pick out a dark red dress set it down on a chair.

I take a quick shower and continue to my new book.
