Juliet
"Okay that's it! I am going to talk to those two!" I yell standing up quickly.
"Julie don't!" Dallas cries trying to pull on my arm.
"No, Dallas! Draco has stood you up 6 times this year."
"But he was stressed and... we've gone on three dates, which I am content with."
"I'm not!" I scream, "I am not okay with you coming into the dorm crying because he didn't show up. Or the time he forgot you two year anniversary."
"He got me a necklace for christmas," Dallas says trying to lighten the mood.
"He didn't even give it to you in person. Theo gave it to you."
Dallas sighs knowing full well I am too stubborn to change my mind. I nod in content and stride towards the Slytherin Common room.
Once I get there the portrait looks at me bewildered, "You're not allowed. You're not Slyth-"
"Pureblood." I cut off and it the portrait swings open.
I climb in and survey the area. A couple of younger students are by the fire and are staring at me like a deer in headlights. Seeing no one else around I make my way towards them.
"You," I demand to a girl with a blue clip. "Where is Draco Malfoy and Orion Black?"
'Um." She stutters.
"Don;t tell her Millie. She's not even a slytherin." A boy with freckles voices.
"Millie don't listen to him,' I try and ease the confused girl, "They're my family and I need to talk to them."
She gulps, "They just went got in a few minutes ago. They were headed to their dorms and no one was to disturb them."
I smirk, "Thanks Millie." I turn to the boy, "Freckles you get to show me which room is theirs."
"And why would I do that?" The boy saus sassily crossing his arms.
"Because I could hex you into next year." I sneer.
"Just do it Percy," another girl with braids pleads.
"Fine," Percy grumbles.
Percy leads me up the stairs and stops at a sleek black door with a silver 6B on it. I thank him and he scurries down the stairs. I take a deep breath before knocking hard on the door 3 times. I hear shuffling and muffled words, which I am guessing is a string of profanities.
A tired and disheveled Draco answers the door, "I thought I told you to leave us the hell-"
"Cat got your tongue?" I mock and push past him.
"You can't just walk in. There are other people in here." Draco demands.
I scoff, "No, it's just you and Ryan. I know your dad arranged you two to have a private room."
"Still rude." Draco mutters.
"I am going to cut to this bullshit. Go get Ryan." I demand.
Draco suughs and goes to get my tewin. They both appear moments later with Ryan equally tired and worn down. They both look significantly skinnier too.
"What the hell Juliet?" Ryan snaps.
I am taken aback as Ryan has always been quiet and reserved. Rarely one to speak up let alone shout at a person, especially his own blood.
"Ok, first off!" I begin, "What the hell is wrong with you two!"
"Nothing!" Ryan and Draco respond quickly.
"Like I said, a bunch of bull. You guys were model students. You never skipped class and you ate like bears at meals. And Draco you adored Dallas. Even before I knew you were dating she'd get surprise gifts, which I now know was you, and she was so happy. " I yell, "But now look at you. You both looked like you haven't slept in a week and don't think I don't notice you skipping classes. And Meals! You guys are always hungry nut you've been eating less." My eyes soften, "Dallas and I are worried. You're not you and it's scaring me."
Ryan sighs and Draco runs a hand through is unkempt hair. "We're sorry JuJu but we're just under a lot of stress." Draco says finally
"Then let me help you. Let Dallas help you Draco." I plead.
"No Juliet you don't understand. Draco and I, we have a job. And we have to do it alone. You and Dallas, or anyone for that matter can help us." Ryan adds.
"Is it Uncle Lucius? Did he do something to you? Is that why I couldn't come home over the summer and Christmas?" I yell looking frantically between the two of them.
"JuJu," Ryan says taking my hands. "You don't need to worry. Draco and I will be fine. But we have to do this, alone."
"We're sorry we haven't been there. We promise we'll try to be around more." Draco adds, "and tell Dallas I'll take her out real soon. We can go to hogsmeade, or go dancing or something."
"Tell her yourself," I say and begin to walk out.
"JuJu, wait!" Ryan pleads and grabs my arm, "Please just trust us we are trying to keep you safe."
I sigh, "Ok I'll trust you but you both need to promise me you need to take care of yourself. Sleep, eat, and go to class. And Draco for the love of god take Dallas out!"
Draco gves me a tired smile, "Ok, I will."
