A/N: I have rewritten this chapter so many times but I just thought we should give Nick a chance in the spotlight. Also gay.

"When was the last time you actually talked to her?" Henry asked over a large chicken leg, nodding at Zinnia, who sat at the Ravenclaw table.
"Two weeks ago. And aren't you supposed to be at the Hufflepuff table?"
"No one really cares, do they?" Henry nodded at the teachers, who were too engrossed in their chicken legs to notice the number of students dotted around at the wrong tables.
Zinnia got up from her table and walked towards the exit, holding a goblet of water in her hand. Her face was stone cold and her eyes shone with desperation. Her hair was up in a messy, hastily done bun that kept her giant mess of hair from falling in her face.
"Do you want to follow her?" Henry asked, following his line of sight.
"I'm not a freaking stalker, Henry."
"You might be the only Slytherin I know who doesn't swear."
"How many Slytherins do you know?"
"A fair few of them have flown me into trees and called me gay. Turns out they were right."
"Wait, what?"
"I'm gay."
"No, I knew that. I'm your best friend, I picked up on that pretty fast. Who flew you into a fucking tree, Henry? I'm gonna beat their asses."
"YOU SWORE FOR ME?"
"Shut up and eat your chicken leg."
At that moment, Zinnia re-entered the dining hall, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, her hair trailing down her back again. She didn't touch her food for the rest of the meal.

"You seriously didn't bring any snacks back with you?" Ella asked, digging through Zinnia's backpack.
"I didn't see anything that sparked my interest." Zinnia replied coolly.
"What about my interest?" Ella pulled out a small matchbox from the bag. "What's this?"
"Fire, duh." Zinnia snatched the box from her friend and slipped it under her pillow.
"I'm pretty sure that's a fire hazard." Ella said but didn't push it.
"Hey, where's Rose?"
"Studying, with those guys she's always hanging out with, probably."
(I actually really hate cursed child but Scorpius and Albus are really cute so they are here to stay fight me)
Zinnia, relieved to change the subject, rolled her eyes and stood up, stretching dramatically.
"We should probably get ready for bed now." She pulled out her white nightdress, patterned with little purple daisies.
"Pussy." Ella snorted, leaning back against Zinnia's bed. She was still wearing her Hogwarts robes.
"How are you in Ravenclaw again?" Zinnia unbuttoned her shirt, blissfully unaware of her best friend furiously trying to keep her eyes off Zinnia's chest.
"Daisies aren't purple." Ella pointed out as Zinnia sat cross-legged on her bed.
"Well these ones are, and they're special snowflakes- like me!" Zinnia poked her tongue out at her friend, slumping against her pillow and knocking her head against the wall.
"You certainly are special." Ella rolled her eyes, smiling slightly. "Well, I'll get to bed too then I guess.
"Pussy." Zinnia taunted.
"Yeah, whatever." Ella turned off the light and everything went dark.

kkthxbyee,
