"...and that's when I took-,"
"Your shirt off!"

Juliet and Rosaline started to howl with laughter, rolling on their beds and clutching their sides.
I indignantly started to protest.

"It's not funny! They were on me! They could've gone down my bra!"

"Cordelia,you are as entertaining as a soap opera," Juliet managed to squeeze out through fits of laughter.

Rosaline and I frowned in confusion.

"What's a soap opera?"

"Oh...never mind. Wizards...," she muttered under her breath.
Juliet's father was a muggle, so I assume a 'soap opera' was some sort of muggle entertainment, but how do muggles managed to charm a bar of soap to sing?
And why are they so entertaining?

"But seriously, the first time you're alone with Aileena-,"
"Don't call him that!"
"Aileena-nerd, you strip right in front of his eyes. Too bad you don't have much of a figure." Juliet said while eying my flat chest.
"I'm only eleven! And please don't call him Aileena-nerd." I hugged my knees to my chest.
"Don't tell anyone about this ok? I don't want anyone thinking I'm a-"
"Slut? Stripper?" Rosaline offered while scribbling something on her parchment.
"Don't worry, we won't tarnish your perfect record."
"Thanks." I muttered and pulled myself over to her, peering over her shoulder to read her essay.

"Dragon blood is a great oven cleaner," I added as she struggled to recall the twelfth use of dragon blood.
"Oh,great, I knew it was something weird and out of place. Dragon blood is so expensive, why would you use it to clean an oven if you already knew Scougify?"

I open my mouth to answer, only to close it shut as a siren like voice pierced the air, which cut off after two seconds, followed by a crash and a series of angry curse words.

"Did a guy just try to get in our dorms?" Rosaline asked with renewed interest.
"Don't be too excited, it's my brother and he's going to kill me." I looked around and eyed the space beneath Juliet's bed.
"Prefects can get into any dormitories, so if he comes, I'm not here. Got it?" My voice lowered as I crawled under the bed, pulling the sheets over.

As soon as I pulled the rest of my anatomy under, our door slammed open,followed by heavy footsteps which immediately silenced the chatter of my friends.

"Where is Cordelia?" Julius spoke in his 'don't mess with me or you'll regret the day you were born' voice.
"You're Cordelia's brother?" I heard Rosaline say incredulously.

There was a pause as he surveyed her.

"Cordelia told you two about me,didn't she?" He said sharply.
"If you're looking for her,she's not here," Juliet replied coolly.
I could imagine my brother raising a disbelieving eyebrow.
"Really?"

Please, oh great and wonderful Merlin,please don't make Julius look for me!

"Really. She left five minutes ago, said something about looking for her Potions book in the common room."
I was struck by how smooth and natural her voice was.
No one ever dared to lie to my brother...ever.
"Fine. If she shows up, could you send her to the boys dormitories?"

I sent my utmost thanks to Merlin as the door slammed shut.
I crawled out from under the bed, sneezing from the dust gathered there.

"Thank you so much." I gratefully said as I plopped myself on my bed.
"That's your brother?!" I turned my head to Rosaline, who was staring at the closed door with a gaping mouth.
"Yeah..."
"He's hot!"
I blinked.
My brother was not that handsome!
"Rosaline, sorry to burst your bubble, but he's got a girlfriend." Juliet pointed out rather bluntly.
"Damn. All the good ones get taken."
She murmured before blushing at what she said.
