"come on, it'll be fun." delaney wines, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"i don't know laney, i have to study and-"

"blah, blah, blah." bella interrupts, grabbing my arm, "you're coming."

i sigh and finally give in, "so where are we going?"

"the three broomsticks, draco and oliver are meeting us there."

"i was suppose to meet up with archie to study, can i bring him?" i ask, giving them both a pouty face.

"uhm- sure, i guess." laney says.

"i promise he's great!" i yell, running to the hufflepuff common rooms to get him.

________

when i get to the commons i find archie sitting to the far right, with a book in his hands.

"hey." i whisper into his ear coming up from behind him.

this makes me jump a little and turn around.

"you almost gave me a bloody heart-attack juliet."

i giggle and pull him up from his chair, "okay so you're coming with me."

"where to malady?"

"the three broomsticks, with my friends." i state while dragging him out of the common room.

"bella, laney, oliver, and what was his name? oh yeah draco malfoy." he says while glaring disapprovingly at me.

"oh don't be like that, they're great."

"malfoy is great? he treats you like shit juliet."

"yeah, i guess." i mumble, not wanting to bring up the way he's been towards me lately.

"but can you go, please?"

"oh fine." he gives in, allowing me to take him away.

"thank you." i sing.

"anything for juliet."

i laugh as we walk down to find laney and bella.

once archie and i meet up with bella and laney we all walk out to hogsmeade.

the walk was pretty quiet- i mean like once and a while archie would try and say something but laney would look at him weird and he would shut up.

"sorry about them." i whisper to archie as we enter into the three broomsticks, "i swear they aren't always like this."

"mhm." he replies.

"where the fuck is draco and oliver?" bella asks, searching through the tables.

"uhm he's probably-"

"right here." draco's voice says from behind me.

i can feel how close he is to me when his breath brushes against the back of my neck. this sends surprise shivers down my spine.

"does oliver have a table then?" laney asks, walking towards some occupied tables.

draco steps away from me and guides us to a large empty table, only seating oliver. he smiles.

i sit down, draco to one side of me and archie to the other. oliver is across from me, while bella and laney are to his sides.

"who's he?" draco asks, giving a look of disgust towards archie.
