Juniper's POV

It was now the day after Draco and I's little encounter after the news of his Aunt Bellatrix.

I woke up with my body sore, my hips feeling like an old grandma.

And to my honest opinion, I don't even think he put in that much energy. I think he was going easy on me. If he wasn't going easy on me then I am honestly disappointed, all those other girls he fucked must be boosting his ego; a little too much.

I limped my way from my bed to the bathroom, Daphne laughing at me quietly since the other two were still sound asleep.

After I got done showering, I went out of the bathroom to change. I was getting ready in front of the full body mirror.

Even though it's been months of what happened with McLaggen I was still scared and traumatized.

Whenever looking in the mirror or whenever i'm just sitting and staring at my thighs that are shown under my skirt, I remember every single detail.

The memory replays in my mind every time there is something that reminds me of it.

A little grip on my thigh from one of the girls will trigger it, I hide my teary eyes with a fake yawn though.

Nobody notices that I do this, that I get these reminder. I try my hardest to hide it so I hope nobody can tell.

Once the other two girls were done getting ready, the four of us headed downstairs. I think we are getting ready faster and faster now since we got to the common room before Theo started his timer.

"Good morning everyone!" I said with a happy smile once we reached the boys who were sitting and leaning on the black leather couches.

"Morning Smiley!" Theo and Blaise said in sync as always.

"Morning Juniper" Crabbe and Goyle said after, their voices sounded like they were in need of food soon or else they are going to die.

I made eye contact and smiled at everyone, once I reached Draco I noticed he had a his brows furrowed and a mean mug face.

I nudged Blaise and used my head to point towards the blond. Blaise shrugged his shoulders as an 'I don't know'.

"Why's your face like that Draco?" I asked him, his attention doesn't turn to me. No response. "Okay then, let's go eat some breakfast"

The boys all stood up from the couch and we walked out of the common room together, the same daily thing.

I leaned to Theo who was walking next to me, "What's up with him?" I asked in a whisper.

"I don't know to be honest, he's been like that since you left our dorm yesterday" He leaned down to my height to tell me.

Breakfast was an unusual conversation today, there was a dark type of cloud over Draco's head and it seemed to spread to all of us.

"Draco can you pass me the toast please?" I asked with my arm extended towards him.

Again, no eye contact, no response, no movement.

"Here Theo, pass this to Juniper" Goyle grabbed napkin and gave a couple pieces of toast to Theo for me.

"Thanks Gregory" I said as we gave each other a quick awkward smile.

"Draco, Umbridge said you have to do rounds with us tonight. No more skipping." I said outside of his dorm with Blaise.
