FORBIDDEN FEELINGS

Chapter 13- Halloween

For the next few weeks Malfoy has been really awkward with me and looks embarrassed when I look at him. What a weirdo.

I've been focusing a lot more in lessons and our house points have gone back to 100 thankfully due to the amazing chess and Quidditch players in our house.

In tutoring we've gone back to potions and Malfoy rarely looks me in the eye and he's not really helping and he's ending the sessions really early.

It's dinner time and it's Halloween tomorrow. Everyone's costumes arrive at the table and we keep it to ourselves. I'm so excited to show them my outfit. Ron asks "Does anyone know what's happening tomorrow? You know, for Halloween?"

"Well Hagrid told me we're having a Fayre" Hermione says.

"Ace!" I shout causing my friends to laugh.

After dinner we all head to bed, excited for tomorrow.

I wake up and immediately start my makeup on my desk. Hermione isn't here. I'm guessing she's at the library. I slip into my outfit and make my way to the common room.

Shit. This is not what I expected. Everyone stares up at me and boys are looking me up and down. Everyone's wearing ACTUAL Halloween costumes such as vampires, devils, skeletons, werewolves and more, whilst I'm wearing a sexy police outfit with handcuffs hanging off the belt.

Harry's wearing a skeleton outfit, Neville's wearing a vampire one, Seamus is a scary surgeon, Ron's a devil and Hermione walks in as a dead bride. She gasps.

"What the hell are you wearing?" Hermione shouts.

"In the muggle world we all dress up like this" I say.

"I'm not complaining" Ron says, laughing.

"I think it's a great outfit. Not very scary though" Harry reminds me.

I agree with him and we all head down to breakfast. In the halls I get soooo embarrassed because I feel like everyone's judging me as I'm practically naked.

We enter the Great Hall and a lump forms in my throat. I am so anxious. Why didn't I get a different outfit? Every single boy checks me out and I hear a few wolf whistles causing me to feel even more uncomfortable. I look over at Malfoy who has his mouth open and his eyebrows raised. He's dressed up as a vampire and so is Pansy. All the girls are giving me dirty looks which is understandable as I look like a stripper.

I can barely eat my breakfast as eyes are still glued on me. This is the worst feeling ever.

We all finish breakfast and make our way to the Fayre in a massive crowd. I feel a hand slap my ass but I'm not sure who it is.

We get outside and Malfoy and his mates walk up to us. "I predicted you'd be wearing something slutty like this. Always trying to get the boys attention, aren't you, Carter?" Malfoy says, laughing with his mates.

"I can wear whatever I want" I reply.

"Didn't say you couldn't. Just wanted to tell you that you that you look like a whore" As he's saying this he is clearly staring at my tits.

I lift his chin up so he's now staring at my eyes "My eyes are up here, Malfoy" I say, pushing him out the way. My friends give him a dirty look as we all head down to the Fayre.

At the Fayre there's loads going on. There's live music, a rollercoaster that takes you up into the sky, apple bobbing, a station where you can try out loads of spells, a haunted house, teachers getting pie thrown at them, a Ferris Wheel, a bow and arrow game and finally a food station where you can get crazy magical sweets.

We start by going on the rollercoaster. It's so fun but the queues are getting bigger so we can't go on it again. But the view when you're up there is gorgeous. I'm in love with it.

The lads do apple bobbing whilst me and Hermione throw pies at Snape and a guy called Hagrid who I've never met. Hermione actually gets Hagrid right in the face, but I don't get anyone.

A few hours pass and we've pretty much done everything here but Me, Harry and Hermione want to go on the big Ferris wheel. You have to have six in a cart, so I imagine they'll put us with another trio. We wait in line for a bit and we hear "We need three more people!". 

"We'll go" Hermione shouts and we all head to the front of the queue.

When we get to the carriage (of course this was going to happen) we get put with Malfoy, Zabini and Parkinson. "No. I'm not going on with them" Hermione shouts as the Slytherin trio laugh. "Sorry love, we're trying to speed the ride up before dinner so can you please just get on" The man at the front says.

Hermione looks at me for answers, but I just say "Sure, we'll just get on". Hermione seems a bit on edge but just goes along with it. I already feel judged, but I don't want to cause any more trouble for the staff.

We get in the carriage, sit opposite them and the door shuts.

"Bit claustrophobic in here" Pansy states awkwardly.

"It is, Pansy darling" Malfoy responds causing me to let out a snort.

"What are you snorting at? You pig" he asks, sharply.

"Just found it funny" I reply.

"So, you find it funny that I can't breathe in small spaces?" Pansy whines.

"She was laughing at Malfoy's comment, actually" Harry sticks up for me.

"Ooh, sticking up for your girlfriend, Potter?" Malfoy mocks.

"No. Just sticking up for a friend"

"Well she definitely wouldn't be your girlfriend. She's too much of a slut for you to handle"

"Just leave it, Malfoy. You're so annoying" Hermione joins in.

"Why are you joining in, Granger?" Parkinson snaps.

"Why are you joining in?" I shout back.

We all have a little argument and we finally reach the top of the wheel.

"Yo! Can you lot just stop arguing all the time? It's really pissing me off now. I just want to enjoy this little ride. So, be quiet, yeah? God you guys are pathetic" Blaise shouts.

We're on the way down and it's pretty awkward as no one is talking. I'm looking out the window, but I can see Malfoy in the corner of my eye, looking me up and down. I stare at him and he raises his eyebrows at me. I give him a dirty look. What's he trying to do?

When we get off Malfoy pushes me, and I push him back, but he giggles about it. I think he thinks we're flirting but we're definitely not.

We all have dinner in the Great Hall and it's really good. We have Halloween styled food. For dessert we have pumpkin pie, very festive.

After dinner, a lot of us make our way to the field where there's a live band playing chilled music. Me, Ron, Hermione and Harry sit on beanbags to watch the band. I don't see Malfoy and his mates anywhere. I guess they thought this was lame. Kind of relaxing without them.

We have a laugh and waiters come around with butter beer. We're only allowed one each. The show ends and we all head back inside. We see Malfoy and his mates throwing a pumpkin to each other, blocking the hallway. "Ah, did you enjoy the show? Sounded shit from over here, so I'm guessing as you guys were closer your ears must've been burning" Malfoy says, cheekily.

"It was actually really good, thank you for asking" I say, politely.

I start to walk, and they throw the pumpkin to each other right in front of us. "Can you stop being so immature and let us past?" Hermione growls.

"Let's see if you can dodge a pumpkin first" Malfoy says.

Hermione does a spell which turns the pumpkin into a rat. Malfoy screams and let's go of the rat and it scurries off.

"That was my pumpkin!" Blaise shouts.

"We were having fun with that" Malfoy moans.

"Well have fun somewhere else" Hermione demands, and we all walk to our dorms. I love Hermione sometimes, she's such a bad bitch.
