The Snake Pit

5; Saturday

Authors note: this chapter might be a little boring and short but I hope you enjoy :)

I sat there in Blaise's arms almost the whole night. Most of the time was spent crying and the rest of the time was spent listening to Draco and Theo argue about seeing me.

To be honest, I have no right to be acting like this in front of Blaise of all people. Blaise always knew his life would turn out miserable. At least for me, there was a chance that, even if I didn't like my husband at first, I could maybe end up loving him one day, but because he will be forced to marry a girl he will never love her in the way you're supposed to love someone you marry. This is precisely the reason that Blaise plans on never marrying; because he knows he will love my children more than his own.

None of that seemed to cross his mind because his arms never left my body.

When I woke up the next morning I was alone tucked into my bed. I searched the room for Pansy and Daphne but saw no sign of them. When I glanced at the clock on the wall I noticed I was running late for breakfast so I rushed through my morning routine and headed down the steps.

When I got into the common room I noticed Blaise and Theo sitting on the couch waiting for me. I was almost sure I wouldn't find them here and they would have just gone to breakfast without me, but I was wrong.

After what happened last night I wasn't sure if I was excited to see them or embarrassed. Even though they are my best friends and I've known them for as long as I could remember, I have never ever cried like that in front of any of them before. It was always one of the only things I hated about not having any really close friends that were girls; I don't even have a sister I can talk to about stuff like this.

"You guys didn't have to wait all this time for me," I say as they get up off the couch to walk to breakfast.

"No, it's fine we wanted to. And besides, we don't have class today so I could sit here all day if I wanted to." Blaise looked like he didn't really know what else to say to me.

"How are you?" Theo asked. "Do you wanna talk about la-"

"No, I just want to pretend like it didn't happen."

Blaise furrowed his brows at me. "But it did happen. Vangie, we both get why you were upset so if you wanna talk about it we're here for you."

I shook my head at both of them. "Where's Draco?"

That earned a wary look from both Blaise and Theo. Did they say something to him? Is he mad at me because of what I did to him last night?

"He should be in the Great Hall when we get there, we have a game today." To this statement, Theo's eyes lit up.

We walked the rest of the way to breakfast mostly in silence laughing about students we see in the hallway. When we got into the hall we head to the Slytherin table and sit down a couple of people away from where Draco is seated. He smiles at Theo and Blaise but when his gaze meets mine he looks away quickly. Maybe he really is mad at me.

"It's a big one today, Gryffindor vs Slytherin. Are you ready to go up against your boyfriend, Blaise?" I asked while putting bacon on my plate.

"Boyfriend? Who?" Theo asked. Shit, I forgot he didn't know about that. Blaise shot me a disappointed look while Theo continuously poked him asking who his 'boyfriend' is.

"Oliver Wood," Blaise grumbles. "But we are not dating."

"Oh, yeah I guess I can see that," Theo shrugs.

I furrowed my brows at him in confusion, "Really, that's it. You're not gonna say anything about the fact that he's a Gryffindor."

"Why does it matter. For example, Ginny's fit and if she wasn't stuck so far up Potter's ass then I wouldn't mind shagging her." We all just shrugged and continued to eat our breakfast.
