Still playing : Marshmello / Bastille - Happier

“ I want you to be Happier ”

( I still have nothing so have this work of art. )

Acacia's POV

I'm partnered with Thalia during Divination and we're doing crystal balls, she's playfully caressing hers and whispering gibberish under her breath while I keep my giggles down.

"Why do you even take this class if you just make fun of it?" I asked with a roll of my eyes and she shrugged, "Cause then the squad won't be complete," her eyes darted on Clara and Addy on another table, I turned to them too and saw Clara drumming her crystal ball with her index fingers.

"And you won't have a partner as amazing as me," she proudly grinned and I scoffed. "Might I remind you and the other two insisted you had a thing for me just months ago." I mirrored her grin with a cross of my arms and her face fell.

"I thought we were not bringing that up ever again?" I laughed throwing my head back slightly and she groaned.

When I started to get closer to Thalia I also started to tease her about it and she claimed that she found me attractive and that was it, I believe her but that won't stop me from holding it against her til forever.

"How can I? It gives me confidence," she made a move to throw the ball at me and I couldn't help my loud laughter then, good thing our Professor is too deep with whatever vision she have with Lily and I'm safe from a scolding with Thalia.

"When you have children I know just the bedtime story," I added and snorted a bit by the end of my sentence and she finally threw her crystal ball on my direction but I dodged and it hit a random Gryffindor who passes out from getting hit in the head.

Detention.

Something I've never had and never thought I'll ever have but here I am cleaning cauldrons with Thalia. "This is your fault," she scrunched up her nose and wiped beads of sweat off her forehead and flopped on the floor.

I giggled and sat on the floor next to her tired figure, our wands are confiscated so we got no way of cheating our way out of cleaning cauldrons that takes 2 years of my lifespan.

"Who threw her crystal ball and sent a student to the hospital wing?" I asked aloud feigning confusion in my voice and she pushed herself off the floor with a groan.

"You provoked me," she fired back and narrowed her eyes at me. We've been here for a couple of hours and managed to only clean four cauldrons because it's not as easy as washing the dishes.

I'm not used to doing labor with my family's wealth so this is all new to me but I happen to enjoy doing work for a change, I'm unsure about Thalia tho. "Hey," she turned to me and arched a brow, "You never did tell us alot about our family." The atmosphere changed and it suddenly got harder for me to breathe.

Is asking that question a mistake? "Well my family consists of pricks and racists and whores and me." she bitterly smiled and I scooted closer to wrap one arm around her, she welcomed the gesture and rested her head on my shoulder.

"My mom's on her 4th pureblood husband, my uncle's totally evil, my grandfather loves the dark arts and my sister is a fucking bitch." she laughed a bit but I stayed silent, giving moral support. Thalia's not one to get all emotional and her talking about her family to me is a big deal.

"Bitch ran away a year ago during summer, went hiding among muggles without even bidding me a goodbye." Using my arm that wrapped around her, I rubbed circles on her back in an attempt to comfort. Just to let her know I'm here.

"So I made a list." Clara announced when she arrived at the common room, I successfully avoided James with getting detention and for Thalia for having mt back. Whenever she would spot James heading our way she'd run without giving me a warning and drag me along to hide, I felt like a criminal hiding from aurors.

But I was thankful, now it's almost dinner and I'm hanging out with Adaline and Thalia while Clara just arrived. My guess is that she went around the entire castle watching students to play cupid with me. "Malfoy better not be in there." I threatened and she waved me off with a roll of her eyes.

"So I've got 3 from Gryffindor, 2 from Slytherin, 10 from Hufflepuff and 7 from Ravenclaw." I had my mouth gaped at her long list and she pulled out a parchment from her robe's pockets.

"What even are your types in guys?" Clarabell asked me while she eye her supposed notes and look up at me with a brow raised, "James Potter." Thalia spoke up before I could and I threw at glare at her.

Adaline snickered beside me, "How about the complete opposite?" I asked, pertaining to James being my type and Clara looked back at her notes.

"I got one. Oliver Klove, Ravenclaw." I've never heard of the name and I'll probably not recognise him if we ever met down the halls so I scrunched my nose in confusion. "Who the fuck?" Thalia asked and Addy pinched her sides for her language which she chuckled at.

"Complete opposite. He's smart, studious, good-looking, loves to read and doesn't have weirdos for friends." I laughed a bit at the last input and Thalia laughed next to Adaline.

"She just called Potter ugly." Thalia pointed out and I just realised that, "And dumb." Adaline added with a chortle, Clara looked proud of herself while I'm questioning my choice of friends.

"Please tell me you didn't get all that by creepily watching him from afar." I pleaded with a grimace and she avoided my eyes while mumbling ‘about that’ slowly under breath which is answers enough.

Oliver Klove, I hope Clara got her shit right.
