After Giana told me about Draco and the way he is towards girls we walk back down to join the others and I notice Danica is back and she's brought another.

"So you must be the girl everyone's talking about." The boy looks up and down at me meeting my eyes with a faint smile.

"Told you she was hot," Danica says flopping onto the couch putting her head on the boy's lap.

"You're not wrong there." I see the boy drag a cigarette tucked behind his ear, lighting the tip.

I look over to Draco and see him analyzing me, our eyes meet and I immediately turn my head back to the others to ensure I don't get lost in them as I did in the hall.

"I'm Blaise by the way." He speaks leaving a cloud of smoke to soak into the air.

"I figured." I didn't mean to sound like a bitch, but knowing that Draco was just playing a game with me deflects any speck of kindness in me right now.

"Fiesty,  I'm sure Draco's already claimed this one." He says blowing another stream of smoke from his mouth.

"I'm not anyone's to claim." I snap back, "and certainly not his." I look to Draco to see the shock on his face, understandable I was my nice self only a few minutes ago.

"What's gotten into you Lovis." Danica sits up from Blaise's lap with an awkward laugh.

"Long day." I huff sitting between Gianna and Theo.

"Alright," Danica said giving me a smile then changing the subject to talk about something I couldn't even remember, I tuned out and just sat there completely disengaged.

"You alright sweetheart?" Theo whispered in my ear with Gianna listening too.

"I'm fine,  just tired," I say looking between the two.

"I'll take you to bed," Draco suggests.

Before I could speak Gianna interrupts knowing I would say something I would regret.

"No no, I'm heading to bed now too I'll take you." Gianna takes my hand and I stand up trailing behind her.

We said goodnight to the others and made our way upstairs once again.

As we walk into the room I'm greeted with the dim lights and roof to floor windows, it was dark outside so the only thing visible is darkness, the bed polls reach the ceiling and the sheets green and satin offering warmth and comfort, all I need right now.

"He is a lot nicer to you then he is to other girls," Gianna says sitting on her bed.

"Like you said he's playing a game," I say looking around the room in amazement.

"Just try to be nice, you don't want to get on Malfoy's bad side, you can ask Potter all about that." She tucks her hand into her pocket pulling out a chocolate frog and setting it on her bedside table.

"I should really get some sleep," I say smiling at her.

"Well, that's your bed over there Danica will be up soon." She points to the bed across from mine.

I lay down on the soft sheets and it hits me.

This is real.

I woke up the next day and see the light peering through the windows shining on my face, its warmth kisses my cheeks turning them into a rosy red colour.

"Dumbledore wants to see you, sweetheart!" Theo comes storming in the door with a big smile on his face

"Theo! You do this every morning and every morning I tell you the get out!" Gianna yells out of embarrassment with the retainer in and hair still in rollers.
