The Sweet Slytherin

Bimbo Bambozal

I walked with Ben and Draco to Hogsmeade. and Draco didn't even have to ask. Ben insisted that Draco tell him everything that happened in the last half an hour. Draco tried to skip over the parts where he cried, so I helpfully added each of those parts. I may have gotten death glares from Draco, but it would help Ben understand why I took him back.

"That sounds so sappy." Ben announced.

"Be lucky we spared you a few explicit details." Draco joked. Ben held up his hands in defeat. 

"I don't want to know." Ben replied. I laughed at Ben's reaction. Finally we reached Hogsmeade and I smiled.

"Alright Cory, I have 60 gallons here to spend on you, so go crazy." Ben announced. I nodded. But Draco looked at Ben.

"Bean. I find it sweet that you want to pay for your cousin. But I'm her boyfriend, and I'd like to pay for her." Draco announced. Ben shook his head.

"Sorry, Stormy, but I respectfully disagree. It only make sense that since I was originally planning to pay for my cousin, I should have the right to continue." Ben replied. I sighed and face palmed. 

"I also respectfully disagree, Bean. My girlfriend, My money." Draco announced.

"My blood, Stormy. My money." Ben replied. I laughed.

"Boys, Boys, please. There is enough Corrine Snaproot to go around. Now, Draco, Beanie is the one who thought of taking me on this lovely outing, and I expect you to respect his authority, he is after all my cousin. And Beanie I expect you not to get upset if Draco buys me something on this outing. He just wants to spoil me. And though I beg him to stop, he just won't. Do you both understand me?" I asked looking to both of them. 

"Yes mum" Ben mocked. I gave him a death glare. Draco nodded, and grabbed me around the waist.

"I don't have a problem with that, Enny." Draco announced. Though I could feel the tension in his voice. I smiled and looked to them both.

"Well then. If we are all in agreement, I'd like to do some window shopping. After all, my 17th birthday is only 7 weeks away." I joked. Ben's eyes lit up, because he knew exactly everything about my birth. Ben is only a month older then me, but he was there for my birth. And he brags about it to me constantly. But Draco looked at me dumbfounded. I did really never tell him when my birthday was? I could have sworn I told him on one occasion.(See The Best worst Day Of My Life if you don't remember). I rolled me eyes at Ben and walked ahead of the two seeing if I could find something that caught my eye before the two caught on. The first store I saw was a little pet shop, and I instantly pulled open the door. The chase was on. I can't believe I slipped away from the boys so easily. They walked by the pet shop without so much as a second glance, thinking I had walked ahead, I assume. I watched as the two already started to panic and look around for me, outside the window. I couldn't help but laugh at them. Merlin. All boys are oblivious. I got bored of watching them fret and decided I might as well find something interesting, while I'm in here. I saw a wide variety of animals, from Owls, to kittens, to rats. But one Owl intrigued me. It was a golden owl, almost blonde, which reminded me of Draco, and it had green eyes and a cute little beak, which reminded me of Ben. I smiled as I approached it, careful not to startle it. Then I put my hand out. And it rubbed against my hand! I stroked its feathers. Soft and sturdy, it would make a fine messaging owl. I've always wanted an Owl of my own. Lisley is an amazing owl, and I wouldn't trade her for anything. But, it becomes quite a hassle when we all have to share her. It would be nice to have an Owl of my own. I took a mental note of this, making sure to add it to the top of my list that I have to send to everyone. I continued to stroke its feathers, and looked back out the window. The boys were gone. I smiled to myself and turned to the owl.
