Opposites Attract

N e w S t u d e n t

Maeve's POV:

This past week has been amazing. Me and Fred are solid, we can't get enough of each other. I see him almost every day.

Enzo and Charlotte are doing good. After the whole 'charlotte fucking his brother' thing happened, they've needed to have a lot of chats to repair their relationship. But for the most part, they are madly in love with one another.

I await in potions class, tapping my foot onto the stool, anxiously waiting for Charlotte to arrive. I turn my head back to the door, to see her waltz in with the biggest smile on her face.

She santers over, sitting down right beside me while she grins happily and places her books down.

"God, what's up with you?" I ask turning my body to her, giving my full attention.

"Oh it's just Enzo, he's just perfect," she responds lightly.

"Hmm and what did Enzo do that has made you so giddy?"

She looks at me, like the look of mischief.

"Really? When?" I ask, now more intrigued.

"5 minutes ago, in the prefects bathroom."

"Damn, was it good?"

"Yes, of course it was. It's always good."

"Ya but in a bathroom? That's just a weird and uncomfortable place to do it!"

"Seriously? You and Fred did it in the common room, that's extremely risky."

"Ya well we did not get caught did we, and at least it was comfortable."

"What about the time you guys made out in Dumbledo-"

"We do not speak of it."

We both giggle, turning our attention back to the class, where Snape is giving a lecture to a student at the front of the class.

"Oh, I have to tell you something," I whisper to Charlotte, trying not to grab the attention of Professor Snape.

"What is it?"

"Saw a new student in the front office, he looked hot from what I saw. Well, I only saw him from behind but still."

"Really? Got any information on who he is?"

"Nope, nothing. We will probably hear more later today."

Fred and I walked into the dining hall, hand in hand. The smell of pot roast filled my nose as we entered the grand room. I spot Enzo and Charlotte, as we make our way over to them.

The sound of laughter filled my ears, giving me a warm and content feeling. I sit beside Fred, where we are positioned in front of the other couple.

"See the new kid? He looks like he'd be a good seeker for the quidditch team," Fred announces, placing lamb chops onto his plate.

"No, haven't seen him. Who is he?" Enzo says, looking up from his plate.

"Some dude from out of the country, don't know where though."

The two continue chatting, Charlotte contributing every once and a while. I, however, looked around the room. I spot Draco and Blaise sitting with some other slytherins.

I know what Draco said and did was wrong, but is it bad that I miss him? I miss blaise as well, I miss our old group.

Don't get me wrong, I love hanging with Fred, but that group was like a second family to me. We stuck together through everything, and then one day it just got ruined because of something draco did.

I can't help but think that this was all my fault. If I didn't say I liked Fred, none of this would've happened. We would all still be best friends.

No, no maeve, it's not your fault. It's Draco's fault for being rude and pushing me off the edge.

I look back at Draco and Blaise, catching blaises eye. He faintly smiles at me, following with me smiling back. Draco then looks, his eyes burning into mine. I smile but I get nothing in return. He looks down at his plate and fiddles with his food.

I mean, what was I to expect from him? Its draco fucking malfoy, he doesnt care about me.

My thoughts are broken when Charlotte asks me, "are you alright Maeve?"

"Ya, ya I'm good, just uhh have a lot on my mind- I'm gonna go, I have stuff t-to do, bye," I say stammering, sitting up from my seat and leaving the hall.

I scurry out of the room, turning the corner, only to bump into a tall boy.

"Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was goin-"

"All good, I wasn't looking either," he says looking down at me.

"You're the new kid right?"

"Ya, just got sorted. I'm in Slytherin."

"Hey me too! Well, not technically- it's hard to explain, but I'm sure I'll see you around."

"Yes, most likely, nice meeting you..."

"Maeve, my name is Maeve."

"Well it was nice meeting you Maeve."

"You too."

We both smile, as he makes his way into the hall, and I make my way to my room.

Charlotte's POV:

I continue placing more potatoes onto my plate, grabbing more vegetables as well. Enzo and Fred wont stop talking about the stupid quiditch game that happened this weekend.

I can't help but think why Maeve just left like that. I wanted to go see her but I think I should just give her some alone time.

I carry on eating my food, until Fred announces, "Hey that's the new kid!" He points towards the door, where he stands looking around curiously.

I look at Enzo, who then looks at me. Both of us were shocked.

"What am i missing here?" Fred asks, clearly seeing our facial confusion.

"Thats my fucking brother," Enzo says, immidietaly getting up from his seat and storming towards his tall sibling. I get up, look at Fred, and follow Enzo.

Once Dylan connects eyes with Enzo, he smirks, about to say something until Enzo shoves him out of the dining hall, into the hallway.

"What the fuck are you doing here Dylan?" Enzo sternly shouts, bushing Dylan up against a wall.

"Calm down little brother, I'm just here to spend more time around my beloved sibling... hello Charlotte," he states, locking eyes with me as Enzo pushes his elbow further into his neck.

"Dont fucking speak to her, dont go near her, dont even try and touch her, you understand me?" Enzo yells. I watch the two boys argue from afar, not wanting to get involved.

"You need to cool down," Dylan says, pushing his little brother off of him, while laughing.

"You are such a drama queen Lorenzo," he speaks again, trying to push Enzo's buttons.

Enzo walks up to me, grabs my hand, and pulls me away, going towards the dorms.
