My Deepest Erised (Draco x Kaiye x Harry love triangle)

Part 22 - The Common Room Encounter

"Someone will fix it in the next couple of days," Snape said, not even looking at me.

I stayed after class to tell him about my shower problem, but he didn't seem to care while he graded the papers in front of him.

"In the next couple of days? But what am I supposed to do until then?"

He looked up at me.

"I'm sure you'll figure something out Adonis."

With that, our conversation ended and I sighed, walking back into the hallway.

"What did he say?" Hermione asked me as we walked to lunch.

"He said that someone will fix it in the next couple of days."

"Days?" she widened her eyes in surprise.

"What's going on?" Harry joined in on the conversation, catching up with us.

"Kaiye's shower is not working and she has to wait a few days for someone to fix it," Ron explained.

"I heard that a lot of people are having water issues," Harry stated.

"You are always welcome to use our shower Kaiye," Hermione told me.

"Thank you! If I don't find one that's available in Slytherin dorms, I might just take you up on that offer."

"Slytherin?" Harry frowned, "Don't even bother asking anyone there. Why not just come to Hermione directly?"

"Why are you being so judgemental?" I snapped back, "They've already let me use a shower once, none of them are as bad as you make them out to be!"

"Who did?" he asked in the same tone.

"Zabini!" I answered, and he laughed.

"Zabini?" he sounded offended, "You must be kidding me! He's only trying to get into your pants, why not go and shower in his room every day?"

I couldn't believe the way Harry was acting.

"What's with you today?" Hermione turned to him, as we all stopped walking, "Don't be so rude! She's not done anything bad."

Harry's face was already a deep shade of red.

"Except giving those creeps a chance to lure her in! She should stay away from them!!"

He looked at me with pain and anger in his eyes. And even though I hated seeing him like that, he was definitely overreacting, when it was not even his place to judge me.

"Well, sadly, I have the power to make my own choices and do whatever I want to. I'm sorry if that offends you Harry," I hissed and headed towards the Great Hall alone.

As I walked through the door and passed the Gryffindor table, I noticed Ginny sitting in a different place than usual, her eyes puffy and red.
I didn't pay her much attention as I stormed to my own seat, overwhelmed with all the things that were going on in my head.

"I heard he fucked the three of them at the same time," I heard one of the girls sitting close to me whisper to another one.

"Yeah, I heard the same thing," the other one replied, "Draco can rail me whenever he wants as well."

I could feel my heart getting squeezed. My lungs felt dry all of a sudden, and I couldn't figure out how to breathe.

"Hey, Kaiye, can you-" I heard Zabini say, but I only stood up from the table and ran outside.

I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't listen to any more stories that would only piss me off, I couldn't let myself get caught up in friendships with people who couldn't give a fuck about me.

I loved Hogwarts, don't get me wrong, but I've never felt more lost in my entire life.
Everything felt wrong and right at the same time, but I only wanted it to be one of the two - otherwise, I couldn't know how to help myself feel better.
