Now Playing : Shawn Mendes - Bad Reputation

“ She got a bad reputation
She takes the long way home ”

‹›‹›‹›

Maybe it was a bad idea to go skating as their first ever activity for the day because after taking off the ice skates, Acacia can barely walk from the pain. It was also her first time so it's gotta hurt like, alot.

"This is way your idea, you find a way." Huffing and crossing her arms like a little child, she refused to stand up from the very same bench again but this time it's because she feels like she's walking on small pieces of broken glass.

"Alright fine. We stay here for a moment and let the pain pass." If this pain ever pass, She bitterly thought to herself while James take a seat next to her. She looked ahead and watched the little kids do better than her.

"You had fun, right?" James asked with worry and Acacia turned to search his face. He was genuinely worried she didn't have fun, It's not like he needs my help that bad.

If he just wait 2 more years, Lily will come around. Hopefully.

Flashing him a smile she nodded, "I did, just this stupid feet hurting." She admitted honestly and adjusted the Gryffindor scarf wrapped around her.

"That's good to know. Better start planning my wedding then?" A snort and shaking of her head hid the fact that she already did. Oh if you only knew. She knew that the two got married between the summer of 1978 and autumn of 1979.

Their marriage only lasted three years because of a noseless dark wizard and Harry then became the Boy Who Lived. "Let's start with dating her first." She shot him a look and he pouted.

"I've seen you annoy her—" "I wasn't annoying her!" "—Shut up, Yes you were." Acacia threw dagger looks at the dark-haired boy for rudely interrupting her. She cleared her throat, "As I was saying, I've seen you annoy her and let me tell you that your methods don't get you the girl." Throwing her hands around to express annoyance.

"Then what does?" The question made Acacia smile. She's never been in a relationship and she's unsure if a boy even looked at her that way but she do know a thing or two about being a girl.

She might be kept to herself in the dark but she's still a girl, a person and she developed silly little crushes on cute boys such as Cedric Diggory but the Hufflepuff never even looked her way. "Compliments every now and then, none should be about her body, stay on the face. Maybe the way her eyes shine when she talks about something she likes?

Or how beautiful her smile is. You get it, Harassing her in class doesn't really make her want you, not forget, bullying her friend  makes you look more of an asshole." She never liked Snape even if he favoured her house because the Slytherin in her loved the favoritism, something was always off about him. She never quiet knew what it is but the way he looked at Harry showed him broken while everyone mistook it for hate.

"Snivellus?" His nose scrunched up in disgust and he received a smack on the back of his head, She's small but the hit was strong. What does this girl even eat?

"You can start by not calling him that." She turned to face him, "I never took you for a bully James Potter," Am I actually confronting him? "Sure you're a troublemaker, giving professors headaches and students a scare but bullying?"

The frown growing on Jame's face almost made Acacia stop on her words but she's not done giving him a piece of her mind. If she's gonna help him, save his life even, she needs him to be better. Not everyone can be nice and perfect and kind but being an asshole is a choice.

"Why do you even harass the boy?" She asked with a raised brow, her tone unfriendly but he voice stayed low. Now she's wondering, if James and his friends hadn't bullied Snape would the man be nicer to Harry?

The answer is a yes unless there's another reason for his hate which is unlikely. "What do you mean?" You don't answer a question with another question! She groaned mentally to stop herself from snapping.

They were just laughing and having fun on ice and she didn't want to completely ruin that. "If you have a valid reason to hate the boy, I'll let it go, but if you don't I am hexing you without a thought if I catch you tormenting him again." She didn't want to play a hero, she's no defender of the innocent because Snape was never innocent but she wanna make an impact on the future.

She was sent here for a reason and she might not know why, but it won't stop her from trying to do anything. The smallest of actions can change the tomorrow completely.

When a good 10 seconds passed and the boy failed to open his mouth, she narrowed her eyes at him. "See? You have nothing, you're a bully James Pott—" "Because he's a Slytherin." She almost fell of her seat when he snapped at her.

He held anger in his eyes and Acacia finally registered his words. Their very first argument is gonna be just like their second, She drowned on the first one and he ended up making up for it by saving her.

Anger bubbling up in her chest she pushed herself up, Ignoring the stabbing on her feet to walk away but not before glaring down at him, her icy blue eyes piercing through his own and her fury evident with how much hate she held in her gaze.

"So am I, are you gonna push me around the halls now, Potter?" She sounded different, like it wasn't her talking. Her voice was lower than normal and her lips were shaking. "You're hopeless." She sounded of breath, trying to hold onto her temper and not explode.

She's mastered the ability to hide her emotions, she's not about to fail her act now. I thought we established that a house, a title and a color does not define a person?

With one last hateful look at the boy she walked away, tears brimming in her eyes but she wouldn't let them fall. Not now, atleast.

Why did I have to emotional? Now where in Salazar am I supposed to go to?
