An annoying shopping spree
Here I was out with this dumb knock of a human being, in Hogsmeade shopping for a suit and a dress with this Hufflepuff girl, honestly why was I even here?! She clearly saw that I hated her guts even more, yet she kept putting stuff up to my neck. I was still upset with the paper news thing, all of this was wrong. I was supposed to be with her not Y/N.
“... Nope, blue ain't your color holy Merlin that's ....”
Her face scrunched up like one of those muppets from that kid TV show, she was honestly so weird! She kept on putting ties up and looking in my eyes and I have had enough.
“Stop, just stop. God you Hufflepuff girls are so-”
“I don’t wanna hear it playboy.”
That’s all she said and I shut up, how did she?... Sure I had done some pretty messed up things before like making that whole book about virgin girls or something can’t remember clearly. But I had gotten that information down and buried a lot since then, blackmailing people helped a ton so how did she know?! She was best friends with the wonderful Ravenclaw girl and you know the law with girl best friends, they have zero secrets.
“Excuse me?”
My fist was clinched and my teeth grinded in my mouth as I spoke. Y/N just looked up at me with an unimpressed face, which made my chest clench in anger. This was stupidity, she was stupidity.
“I know about your past, I don’t know why you asked me out, I don’t know if you have changed. But one thing is clear, I will not be going to the dance with a guy who looks awful.”
A snowball hit the window behind us after she stated that she already knew. How great! There went my plans to go out with her best friend, sure they were slim but I thought I would have a little chance. Guess my plans are over now… Or is it?
Y/N brought the next tie up to my neck, it was a very dark teal color with black patterns in between it. I couldn’t help but to notice her nails, they were short and some dead skin was ripped off leaving small wounds. I had noticed before that she would pick her nails when nervous or bored but never thought she would rip the skin off. How gross, Merlin, why did god hate me so much?
“Hm, it matches you and your eye color.” Her eyes stared into mine as I looked into them, I didn’t have a clue why but I felt that little compliment had an effect on my body, just couldn’t place where.
“Thanks… How much is it?”
She shrugged while looking over the price tag, moving a bit back as she checked it out. I didn’t wanna spend a bloody fortune on a tie just because I had to wear it once, only insane people would do that. At least that’s what I thought.
“Just a thousand-”
“I’m not paying for it.”
Arms were crossed from my side, a thousand?! A thousand galleons?! Not happening, fuck it if I look like a spoiled child or a bloody dickhead. I was gonna pay for a one use tie.
“Who says you’re paying for it? I’m obviously gonna pay for it.”
Confusion
That is the only thing I could muster of feelings by that statement, she must be joking which is why I snickered the next second. Yet she was already walking over to the cashier, was she crazy or something? Without thinking I grabbed her arm and stopped her from walking too far. Her hair bounced a bit in the air as she turned around with a bewildered expression.
“Are you mental or something? It’s a bloody tie. Just take something else”
Was I gonna start an argument right here? Honestly I felt like I had too, there was no way I could let her do that. If it was anyone else I would have let them buy it for me. But for some reason with her, I just couldn’t. It would be embarrassing for a girl like her to buy me anything! I hated her guts.
"Yeah..? And it is my bank account.”
“And it’s a fucking expensive piece of cloth. I’m not gonna let you buy that for me.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
Before I could protest any further, she had already paid for the stupid tie. And we walked out of the store, me holding the plastic bag with the cloth inside. It was cold out, snow falling bit by bit, as we walked towards Hogwarts yet again. This was bollocks, insanity. Was she trying to make me a laughingstock? I was not gonna let that fucking happen! So in a swift I took her hand in mine and walked into a candy store.
As we walked inside the weasley brothers were already up in our face, to no one’s surprise. I quickly waved them off and kept holding her hand, dragging her further into the store before we stopped in front of some enchanted gummy bears, they hopped around and made small noises kinda like real bears yet little to no danger. The yellow dim light on their ‘enclosure’ keeping them warm from the cold but not too hot so it would burn the sugary treats. Y/N kept being silent as we stood there, staring into the cage.
“What is this?” Amalia muttered as I felt daggers into my neck.
“The warlocks of a thousand deaths.”
I mumbled before sticking my hand into the cage with a glove of course. Putting all the beast into a candy bag, before throwing out my glove.
I paid at the counter as I kept dragging her around like a ragdoll and when we stepped outside I gave her the bag.
“For the tie thing.” I mumbled feeling my embarrassment be gone as I kept walking in front of her, not waiting for Y/N.
