"draco, what are you doing out?" i ask walking up to him.

he takes a step back and looks me up and down.

"im a perfect."

"really? i am too- did you already tell the first years where to-"

"i don't want to talk to you."

"oh." i say, backing up a little.

"okay then- uhm, well i just wanted to tell you we have a meeting tomorrow."

he doesn't respond, but instead just stares at me.

"bye." i mumble, turning around and heading back to the dormitories.

after all these years it surprises me how he's managed to always be so cold to me.

the next day i meet up with bella and delaney in the dungeons, before breakfast.

my outfit has normally always been the same for school. but this year i decided to change it up a little- well, bella decided to change it up. she gave me a skirt- that was way shorter than any i've ever had. she also let me use her black boots and knee high socks. i wore my normal robes and shirt, but bella tells me tells me that my tie would look best, loosened.

i just go with whatever she says- since she's good at those fashion things.

"okay come come, we're finally ready." bella says, swinging an arm around my shoulders.

"oh my god juliet!" laney says, eyeing my outfit.

"w-what is there-"

"i fucking love it, you surprised me with this one." she says.

"oh, well you can thank bella she gave me all of this." i say nudging bella in the ribs.

"worked my magic." she states proudly.

we enter the great hall and take seats at the slytherin table. i sit next to oliver and bella. draco and laney across from us.

i notice draco is looking at me weirdly.

"what?" i ask, looking up at him while simultaneously adding berries to my plate.

he doesn't respond but just fiddles his fork in his eggs.

"i love the new look juliet." oliver says, turning his head towards me.

i chuckle, "thanks i-"

but im cut off by a scoff, coming from across the table.

draco.

"what?" oliver questions.

bella rolls her eyes, annoyed with draco's attitude.

"you like her new look? of fucking course you like her new look, im sure every male likes her new loo-"

"draco shut up." laney barks.

"you're a dick draco." oliver says, followed by a slight laugh.

"you're a dick oliver." draco responds back, returning the insult.

"can we just all shut up." bella says, lazily stabbing a fork into her ham.

"yeah, you're kind of giving me a headache." i mumble, rubbing my temples.

draco rolls his eyes and oliver mouths a sorry.
