Harley's POV

"Okay Im done with homework. Its Friday night. There's a party in a couple hours." I complained putting my papers back in my book bag and throwing it on the floor.

"Do you want to go back to your common room to get ready or do you want to wear my clothes?" Lane asked me while finishing homework.

"I'm good with wearing your clothes. Mostly I just don't want to walk all the way up there." I laughed.

"We can sit here for a little longer before getting ready." Theo, Bini and Draco came through the door. Theo sat next to Lane on the couch while Bini and Malfoy sat in arm chairs across from us.

"Hello there Mr. Bini. Are you excited for the party tonight or does it start past your bedtime?" Yeah not the best comment I could have made but i couldn't think of anything better in the moment. Ever since the night in the library I get to flustered being around him.

"Haha very funny. What would you know about the party? I thought no Gryffindor's were allowed?" He quickly snapped back not moving his position.

"Haven't we been over this. You guys all hate Gryffindor's."

"That's the truth." Theo interrupted.

"But I'm the only one you guys can handle. You guys haven't complained about me being in here since 4th year. Do you really need to bring it up now?"

"Shes got a point Blaise." Theo said with a short laugh

"Whatever." He moved reaching his hand in his pocket searching for something.

"I have homework to do." Draco randomly said while standing up and quickly walking up to the boys dormitories. I looked back to Bini who I now realized was pulling a box of cigarettes out with a lighter.

"Theo? Lane?" Bini asked with a nod of his head pointing to the box. They both nodded as he threw them each one with the lighter after he lit his own. I glanced at Lane and she gave me apologetic eyes while lighting hers.

"Want one Ace?" Bini smirked. Everything in my body was telling me no, but I wanted to so much. I wanted to light a cigarette and sit there while I take the smoke in, blow it out, breathe and then continue with the same pattern. I wanted to, I wanted to feel okay for once but I knew I couldn't so I shook my head no while leaning back into the couch beginning to read trying to avoid everyone. "I knew you wouldn't why would you take the chance of ruining your reputation like that." He laughed.

No that's not it at all Zabini. I cant. You know why because I spent the last two years smoking trying to kill myself faster. I spent the last two years wanting to not exist anymore and since then I have been doing pretty well with the help of Lane, Ginny and weirdly you and Theo. Not that the two of you knew but you have. I cant take that cigarette because I dont want to slip back up into that situation.

"I quit." I simply said trying to forget about everything i wanted to. "Lane do you want to get ready now?" I asked quickly turning to her.

"Lets go." We walked up to her dormitory to get ready for the party I was oddly excited for.

Blaise's POV

"You're never going to get into her pants if you keep being a dick." Theo said lying completely down on the couch while blowing smoke into the air.

"What the fuck are you talking about Theo?"

"Don't act like you don't have something with her or at least that you don't want to sleep with her."

"We hate each other." She made it pretty clear in the library.

"Doesn't mean you don't like her there's a thin line between love and hate my friend. Stop lying to me about it." He sat back up trying to be serious. "Me and Lane have a bet on when you guys will finally fuck or get together. We have been rooting for you guys since 4th year when I saw the way you looked at her at the ball and the other way around."
