THE START
Fleamont Potter HATED Orion Black, since he started hogwarts. But it wasn’t anything big, Orion was just a Black and an asshole. Bit dramatic, don’t you think?
1st of September, 1946
Fleamont was sitting in a compartment, alone, staring out the window. But it was normal, this happened every year.
He then hears someone knock on the door. He looks over to see who it is and sees Euphemia. He motions for her to come inside.
She opens the door, closing it and sits infront of him.
“hi Monty” She says with a smile.
“Hello Effie, how are you?” He replies, smiling back.
“Im well, Walburga is being a bit annoying tho, how are you?”
He slightly chuckles ”I’m also well”
She smiles as she looks out the window. “You ready for 6th year?”
”yeah, i just can’t stand seeing Orion again” He complains as she chuckles softly.
“I know you can’t” she replies as they then stay silent for a while.
Fleamont then starts speaking again. “You know, I never liked the fact that you and Walburga are friends”
Her smile drops “Fleamont.”
”what? Shes so rude”
”no she’s not.”
”yes she is! And it’s worse that shes a Black.”
“You do this every time i try to talk to you.”
”its true! You should stop being friends with her”
She scoffs as she gets up and starts leaving the compartment.
”Effie wai-“
She turns around “why are you even friends with me?”
”What..?”
“I’m a Slytherin, aren’t i? Gryffindor aren’t supposed to like us Slytherins”
”yeah, but-“
“Don’t.”
He stays silent and she leaves.
“Fuck.” He says as he kicks the wall and regretting that immediately.

”Hi Lyall”
“Hello Alphard, how are you?”

“That’s boring” Rolanda says as she sits on the desk “do something more fun”
”no! This is more fun!”
Minerva groans ”no its not.”

Euphemia and Walburga are sitting in Effie’s bed, as Walburga talks. But effie is zoned out, she keeps thinking about the Fleamont. Why did he become friends with her? Its confusing, cause he hates all Slytherins, but he doesn’t hate her.
”Effie?” Walburga says, a bit confused.
”Uh, yeah?” She says, coming back to life.
”Are you well?”
”yeah, I’m well” Walburga raises an eyebrow.
She then has a serious look on her face “What happened?”
”Fleamont.” Walburga groans as she hears his name, She hates him.
“Was it about me?”
”yeah..” Effie whispers as she looks down
”of course it was.” She then puts her hand on Effie’s chin to make her look at her “Ignore him, Men are fools”
”Walburga!” She says with a smile on her face as Walburga laughs softly “maybe he is a fool”
“He most definitely is”
They just laugh, it feels good to be happy.
