every last word

two days have passed since the day in the forest.

and he has been ignoring me.

i wouldn't say that i am like offended by it- because it's normal. this is normal for him. i didn't think i would expect anything different. it's like how it always was when he didn't talk to me or pretended i wasn't there. i just thought things were a bit different since, everything. but i guess nothing has really changed.

"juliet are you listening?" bella asks, tapping on my shoulder lightly.

i blink and return back from my thoughts. bella, laney, and oliver were all sitting with me in bella and laney's dorm. draco didn't show. not really surprised with that.

"yeah." i mumble, focusing my attention back on them.

"okay so the party is tomorrow. after curfew. in the commons." laney explains.

"wait what?" i ask, realizing i completely blanked on this whole conversation.

"the party? we've been talking about this for the past like ten minutes."

i nod, "yeah- so after curfew, uhm- how many people are gonna be there?"

"just the sixth and seventh year slytheins." oliver says, making me look over at him.

he smiles up at me. i notice a dark curl hangs over his face, his tie is pulled lose. and his blazer is thrown on lazily. his robe that he rarely ever wears is held tight in his hand.

i don't really know why he chooses to wear a blazer, but he and draco seem to always wear it. no one else here really does. sometimes they get in trouble for wearing it but most of the professors don't really seem to care.

"oh- okay."

just then laney bolts up on her feet, "oh, i want to show you guys the dress im wearing for the party."

she runs over to her closet and pulls out a green dress, it is strapless and looks like it would fall right at the mid thigh.

"i love it." i say smiling brightly, bella nods excitedly in agreement.

"let me show you what bella's wearing too," she says before pulling out a red blazer with matching red trousers, "bella's planning on going completely braless under it- no shirt nothing."

"fuck yeah i am." bella laughs, smirking to herself.

"you're going to look stunning in it bella." i say excitedly, waving mommy hands madly in the air.

"thanks jules, i love you." she responds throwing an arm around my shoulder and side hugging me.

"what are you wearing juliet?"oliver asks, smirking from across me.

"oh- um, i dunno."

"the party is tomorrow!" laney scolds, running back over to us.

"i don't really have anything- like to wear."

"oh- that's totally fine, you can borrow one of ours." bella waves her hand like it's nothing.

"great- thanks."

they both smile.

it's the day of the party.

im currently at laney and bella's dorm. did i get dirty looks from the slytherin girls while coming over here? yes. but i've gotten use to those.

"okay so i was thinking this." bella says, handing me a hanger that holds a little black dress.
