Reality Bites Harry Potter

Slytherins aren't the only dirty cheats

Well, that didn't go as planned. I thought frowning the next morning. George went to go find them, but he couldn't find them anywhere. We investigated it a bit and the lady at Madam Puddifoots said they went to Honeydukes. The shop owner there said they headed back to the castle. Ugh, whatever. I guess Blaise was right. I mean, they did go on a date. I decided to go meet up with Blaise and Theo before going down to breakfast. "Well, it could've been worse." Theo said shrugging, when I told him about what I was just thinking about.

"Yeah." I said frowning.

"Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw, who are you cheering for?" Pansy asked walking up to us.

"I'm obviously cheering for Shay." I said rolling my eyes.

"Yeah, I kind of figured." She said, shrugging. "Oh, can you come with me for a moment?" Then she turned to Theo and Blaise. "We'll catch up with you two." They looked confused but nodded and left.

"What's up?" I asked her confused. She grinned at me.

"Can I do your hair this morning?" She asked eagerly.

"Uh, sure?" I was so confused and shocked.

"I can?" She asked looking surprised. Well, I don't blame her. I don't act like someone who wants to anything with her hair. Well, I usually never want to do anything with it because I think it's annoying.

"I don't mind," I said shrugging. "I don't do anything to it anyways." Plus it will be something different.

"Yay! Okay, do you mind if I put a ribbon in your hair?" She asks looking eager again.

"No, it's fine if you want to." I said smiling.

"Okay! Come to my room!" I followed her to her room and by the time we got down to the Great Hall, my hair was in a low pony tail and she curled my hair a bit. She put a ribbon with Hufflepuff colors in it. I'll admit that I looked cute. When we walked over to the Hufflepuff table, everyone just stared at me.

"Can I help you?" I asked frowning.

"Everyone just realized that you're a girl too." Shay said giggling. I rolled my eyes at her and sat down next to Theo. He was blushing and it made me blush a little too. "You look pretty today."

"Thanks." I muttered feeling a little self conscious. 

"So it looks like you're cheering for Hufflepuff." Hannah said brightly.

"Of course." I said grinning. Shay beamed at me. "Just think. When you win, you'll have to go up against Gryffindor and if you beat them, you get to go up against us."

"If you beat Ravenclaw." Shay teased.

"Oh yeah. Flint wants us to practice after your match today." I said frowning.

"You're the one who said they should train harder." Pansy said rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah," I said pouting.

"Don't worry, Pyper. We don't plan on losing." Fred said grinning at me. I glared at him. I would've said some not so nice things to him, but since my sister has an enormous crush on him, I reigned my anger in and took a deep breath. I let it out slowly before stuffing a few bites of food in my mouth and taking off to the pitch. Yeah, I'm still upset about losing. I wasn't long before Blaise, Theo, and Pansy caught up with me.

"He said he's sorry." Pansy said sighing.

"I know." I said pouting again.

"Why did you run off?" Blaise asked confused.

"It was either that or say something that will upset him, George, and Shay. I can't have those three all mad at me." I said shrugging. "Plus Shay would have skinned me alive."
