"Where did you go last night?" Asked Anna as Patrick idled his way down the steps into the common room, there were still reminisces of her dark eye makeup shown in her waterline as she observed him,
"Well-" Patrick began but he was quickly cut off,
"Did you see him?" She frowned, "I went looking for you after I saw him but I couldn't find you"

"Yes I saw him" sighed the blonde as he ran his hand through his newly washed hair,
"And... are you ok?"
"Yes I'm ok-"
"Did he see you?" She asked quickly, making it obvious that she had been dying to ask these questions all night.

"Yes he saw me" Patrick grimaced,
"And... did he speak to you?" She continued warily,
"Yes, he spoke to me" Patrick confirmed,
"What did he say?" Anna's eyes widened.

"I'm not sure git quite covers it" the blonde boy sighed in exasperation, just thinking of the prior prefects face make his blood boil. It was as though they'd never shared any connection at all, as though Percy had been able to forget all of that like a flick of a switch.
"So he has been ignoring you" Anna frowned sympathetically.
"Yeah" he nodded, "he basically said that he's moved on with his life... he's such a pretentious cun-"

"Ok" Anna interrupted, "ok Percy's gone back to being an idiot but... you don't need him, if anything this is a good thing-"
"Anna I appreciate your optimistic attitude but-"
"Wait let me finish" she interrupted quickly, "I know it's hard because you really liked him but in a few years you'll be grateful for this... it's better you found out this way than not finding out at all"

"I guess that's true" Patrick smiled slightly as he gazed out of the window,
"Anyway" Anna tilted her head slightly, "where did you go last night?"
Images of a pristine blue and white carriage with fur pillows and silken sheets entered his mind,
"I met someone" he said and a smile escaped his lips without him realising.

"You met someone?" Anna gasped, "as in someone?"
"He's called Louis... he's from Beauxbatons and he's absolutely beautiful... not to mention amazing in be-"
"You slept with him" Anna hissed under her breath, "you slept with a random stranger?"
"Anna he's not a random stranger" the blonde laughed, "Dumbledore's not exactly going to let psychopaths into the school".

"I guess not" the blonde girl shrugged, "so you slept with him"
"You don't have to keep repeating it" Patrick laughed with a raise of his eyebrows,
"I'm just trying to get my head around it... I thought you were in your dorm crying while I was having fun... I felt guilty and all the time you were just banging some guy from Beauxbatons" she smirked,
"Let's be honest Anna, you didn't feel that bad"

"Ok truthfully I only looked for you at the end but still"
"Well I'm moving onwards and upwards" Patrick laughed, "we both are... I saw you and Lee were having a good time last night"
"Yes well" she blushed lightly, "I think it's official now"
