Detention after detention after detention.

Nadia's hand was in agony, but it wasn't just her. All the previous members of the DA could be seen walking around school, heads hanging low and clutching their burning hands.

To add to the despair, Draco had been ignoring her for weeks. She could never get a word in and it hurt. Of course, Nadia knew that she had hurt him but she had given him enough space, in her opinion.

Furthermore, after the night in the Astronomy Tower, Damien was hanging around the girls more than usual. He repeatedly glanced at Nadia and it was annoying her.

She had told Ashton what happened that night. In fact, she had broke down crying because she thought Ashton would hate her. Ashton just laughed and said, "I could never hate you. But I'm going to kick his arse."

Let's just say, Damien got a beating. But it still didn't stop him and Nadia had enough.

She briskly walked into the Great Hall and heaved a sigh of relief when Damien wasn't in his normal place beside Ashton.

She headed to the blue and bronze table and plopped down heavily. "I'm so done with boys. They are actually the most annoying creatures on the planet. I've officially come to terms with it." She ranted a little too loud, catching the attention of half of the Great Hall.

Ashton and Sam bursted into a fit of giggles whilst Nadia crossed her arms over her chest. "It's not funny. I'm seriously considering becoming gay."

Sam snorted. "You can't just become gay when you decided boys are 'annoying creatures'."

"Why not?" Nadia whined.

"Because. You can't. You just have to suck it up and deal with it." Ashton countered with a smirk.

Nadia groaned and dropped her head on the table.

Little did she know that Draco was formulating a plan. A plan which could entirely diminish his Slytherin Prince reputation, but he didn't care because he was going to do it for the girl he loves.

"Boring. Boring. Boring. I hate Charms." Ashton complained, throwing her books to the side.

"One, don't treat the books like that. They have feelings to, you know? And two, I'm sure Charms hates you just as much." Nadia drawled sarcastically with a wink.

Ashton made a face. "Just because you're so good at it." She huffed.

"Now, now girls. Stop arguing." Sam reprimanded with a motherly tone.

"Shh!" Madam Pince hissed at the trio.

Ashton rolled her eyes. "I don't understand why we have to do this."

"What, studying?" Nadia asked. "Babe, you do know that this is a school. A place which you come to learn and...study. And, in case you haven't noticed, our OWLs are coming up."

"Okay, Miss Sarcastic. What's gotten into you today?" Sam questioned, giving her a pointed look.

"Nothing. I'm just tired of all the drama right now." Nadia defended.

Ashton frowned. "I'm so bloody hungry." She looked at her watch. "And there's still twenty minutes until lunch!" She exclaimed.

"Shhh!" Madam Pince hissed louder, glaring at the blonde.

"That's it. I'm done. I'm leaving. How I ever got sorted into Ravenclaw will always baffle me." Ashton packed her bag and rose from her chair.
