Good Girl Gone Bad [LIV BLACK]

September, 1993

LIV RAN as if the entirety of the great hall didn't have their eyes on her while she did so, as if that group of fifth year Hufflepuff boys hadn't began to smirk and mutter between each other as she raced past, as if the Hogwarts Professors hadn't began to stare from their own table too. Liv didn't care, she never did, while everyone else watched her race between the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables, hair and robes fluttering behind her, she didn't take her eyes of the unaware boy just a few more strides ahead.

Dean turned just in time to catch her flying through the air and into his arms, wrapping her legs around the boy who seemed to have grown a whole foot over the summer.

"Jesus Christ, Liv!"

"I missed you! I missed you! I missed you!" she called out to her bestfriend, each time leaving a cherry-red kiss mark on his skin, first his forehead and then both cheeks.

The Hufflepuff boys began to whistle in uproar towards their direction, God, is this what happens the second you turn into a teenager? One of the boys shoved another, Cedric Diggory, he wasn't whistling- infact, he wasn't smiling at all. Instead he looked at Liv and shook his head apologetically. Everyone knew he was the best of a bad bunch, he always had been. Liv had seen it first hand In Quidditch. A particularly nasty Hufflepuff VS Slytherin match had got nasty, many played foully, many were knocked off their brooms. Cedric had stayed back, stuck to the rules, and ended up catching the snitch in the midst of it all.

"Oi!"

Fred Weasley had appeared, striding through the sea of black robes- hair even more flame-red then usual being lit up by the hundreds of candles floating freely above his head.

"I'll fucking have the lot of you!" he yelled to the Huffelpuffs, gripping his wand scarily hard, before turning to Liv with a smile, "Good to see you, kid,"

"Hello, Freddie!"

Liv took her seat opposite the trio, they'd all perked up after the dementor incident, Liv had practically forgotten about it by now. Hogwarts did that to you, it made you forget all the bad stuff because the overwhelming joy was just so strong. She'd forgotten about her father too, and how he hadn't returned to the carriage once he'd spoken to the driver. She looked up to the teachers table, Remus was deep in conversation with Professor McGongall, she was laughing – a rare sight. That made Liv smile even more.

Padma tutted the moment she saw the red marks on Dean's skin and immediately began rubbing a wet thumb all over his face to wipe them away, "Honestly Liv, keep your lips to yourself, yeah?"

She was interrupted as Harry and Liv's names were suddenly called, Harry and Hermione spun round, Liv could already see the smug face of Draco Malfoy as he leant across the Slytherin table. His friend leaned in too, firstly Crabbe and Goyle either side. Liv believed they thought they gave off a 'big and scary' look, but really they we're just overweight. Pansy was pawing at Draco's arm and Liv couldn't help but roll her eyes at her stupidness. Draco was too busy trying to get Potter's attention to notice that Pansy was obsessed him, weirdly obsessed with him, Liv couldn't help but feel pity for the girl.

"Is it true you fainted? Like, you actually fainted?"

Liv hadn't found what Draco said funny at all, she never did. None the less the Slytherins all snickered as Draco looked even more smug with pride, Harry on the other hand flushed with red, when would he learn to stand up for himself? Once again Liv had to take matters into her own hands.

"Is it true your dicks the size of my pinky?" she called back, holding up her smallest finger.

Liv was pleased to see this provoked her cousin, maybe more so then he hoped, for his eyes filled with anger like she had never seen and he stared at Liv as if he hoped his glare would kill her. The Slytherins began to snicker too, Draco began to stutter with rage, he suddenly spat:
