*Layla's POV*
We were still sitting around the fire, in the same spots, but it was getting later and we were all getting tired. Today went by so fast yet so slow. Dean kept making the most random jokes causing us to all laugh. I saw Hermione walk up to the steps. I'm guessing she was going to bed but she walked over to me
"Hey Layla can you come to the dorm quick?" Hermione asked me
"Sure?" I said "If I don't come back I'll see you guys tomorrow"
I smiled at the boys and went with Hermione to the dorm. I walked in and shut the door behind me
"What did you want to talk to me about?" I asked
"Do you fancy-"
"Hermione. We aren't doing this again" I said sitting on my bed
"But Layla-"
"But Hermione" I said mocking her
"You have to fancy someone! Even if it's not Harry" She said
"Maybe I don't. Besides, it's not like I have time for a boyfriend." I said
"Busy with what?"
"One, making sure I don't die from my own father. Two, making sure none of my friends die or get hurt. Three, you get it"
"Layla come on! Just tell me. I can tell you fancy someone"
"And I can tell you fancy Ron. But I don't come at your throat asking you about it do I? No"
"Yeah but we are different peo-"
"Exactly. You can fancy someone while I don't. Thanks for proving my point" I smiled
"You're so annoying yet smart at the same time" Hermione laughed
"But I'm serious. Can you stop coming at my throat about fancying Harry?" I asked
"Fine~"she said sitting down on her bed
"Thank you-"
"But just tell me if you do fancy someone just once please!"
"Hermione!"
"Layla please! If you don't I'll go tell Malfoy you fancy him"
"You won't"
"I will"
She got up and started going to the door. I went over to her and pushed her away
"I'll tell you something if you will sit your ass down for one minute"
She rolled her eyes and sat back down on her bed. I went to mine and sat down facing Hermione
"Spill" Hermione smiled
"I don't know if I fancy someone. If I do, I'm not certain about it yet. So, that's why I don't tell you anything about me fancying someone" I said
"Who might you fancy?"
"I'm only telling you that"
"Ugh, you're no fun"
"Says the one who reads books for a living"
"Yeah and you hang out with almost all boys"
"And? I grew up with boys. I only knew one girl my 'mother'. I've been better friends with boys my whole life. You on the other hand didn't grow up being friends with books, did you?"
"I did grow up with-"
"No you didn't. You can't 'grow up' with something non-living. It's a fact"
"I never once read that!"
"It's not in books you dimwit. It's called, common sense"
"But anything that is a fact is in textbooks!" She said crossing her arms
"So my whole life story is in a textbook? No. Therefore, common sense can be facts and not be in books" I smiled
Why am I smart with the dumbest things? I can't be this smart in potions class but I'm smart about this.
"I'm going to bed. You are hurting my brain" Hermione laughed
"Wow! I hurt your brain! And you're the smartest girl" I laughed
Hermione turned off her small lamp and so did I. We said goodnight to each other and went to bed. As I laid down and started falling asleep, I felt something fall behind me on my bed. I turned around and saw a letter. As I opened it, I saw it was from Harry. I skimmed through it.
"Meet me at the astronomy tower tomorrow, midnight. Don't bring anyone but yourself. See you tomorrow.
-H.P."
Since when did Harry sign "H.P." Instead of his own name? Whatever. I put the letter away and tried to fall asleep
-The next day
I woke up to Hermione abruptly shaking me again
"Bloody Hell Hermione" I said sitting up
"Wake up already!"
"I'm up! I'm up!
I got ready quickly because of Hermione rushing me
"I'm going Layla! Meet me in the common room!"
Fuck you Hermione. You couldn't have waited 2 more minutes. I finished getting ready and rushed to the common room to see, The trio talking with Dean, Neville, and Seamus. Shit. This will either go really good or really bad. Don't be bad don't be bad. I walked up to them all
"Finally" Hermione said
"You left when you couldn't wait two more minutes Hermione" I said
"Yeah cause you slept in"
"Whatever" I said "Why are we all just here"
"We were talking. Before you came" Ron said
"Okay, then I'll be going since I interrupted" I smiled and started walking away
Honestly, ever since the first 'fight' I had with them, Ron never really acted the same around me. He always acted like he hated me. I was getting towards the exit to the common room when Seamus came over to me
"Hey Layla" He smiled
"Hey, but aren't you supposed to be talking to them about-"
"They were talking about your dad. It got annoying so I came to you" He laughed
"Everyone is like obsessed with my dad honestly" I said
We walked onto the steps. As we walked down them we continued talking about whatever. Once we got to the Great Hall for breakfast we sat down at an open spot where there was enough room for the rest of them. I sat next to Seamus on the side with our backs to the Hufflepuff table. I haven't talked to Cedric, Brianne, or Lizzie for awhile. I should talk to them soon. I saw someone sit next to me, it was the one and only Harry James Potter. He smiled at me and he sat down. The other sat whenever they did I wasn't really paying attention. Shit. I gotta remember to meet Harry at the astronomy tower later tonight
