Banter and Idiots
Delilah
“On a scale from one to ten, how bad do you wanna kill me right now?” Daphne leaned forward with a grin.
Pansy glared from her spot on the floor of our room, arms crossed and her lips set in a pout.
“I would guess somewhere in the high thirties.” Natalia teased, sitting criss cross on her bed watching the intense match of Wizarding Chess.
I sat in the middle of both of them, in charge of keeping the game fair and cheating free.
“This is the 3rd round, Pans. It’s almost midnight and we have classes in the morning, why don’t we finish tomorrow.” I complained.
“No, I have to beat Daphne. I won’t let her keep winning.” She hissed, and Daphne smirked.
“Ok well, anyone hungry then? I’m thinking Nat and I could go sneak into the kitchens.” I asked.
“I could eat.” Daphne said, and Pansy nodded.
I put my slippers on and grabbed my wand, Natalia following.
We quietly made our way into the corridors, tiptoing until we reach the fruit portrait near the great hall.
“I’ve never understood why you tickle a pear.” Natalia said, and I shrugged.
As soon as we got into the kitchens, we heard clatters and swearing.
We saw a group of figures run to a closet and hide.
“Merlins Beard! Theo you said nobody was gonna follow us!” Draco’s voice grumbled.
“It’s not my fault Enzo has heavy feet. The whole bloody castle could hear him!” Theo’s voice shot back.
“Hey!” Enzo called.
“Shut up!” Blaise hissed.
“Boys, we can hear you.” I said, announcing my presence.
I saw the door open slowly and 4 heads pop out. Natalia snorted as they all exited the closet in shame.
“You lot are really not stealth masters eh?” She teased, and Enzo stuck his tongue out at her.
“Lilah, you scared us to death.” Theo said.
“Oh please, you obviously weren’t that worried about getting caught. Stop blaming everything on Enzo.” I scolded.
“Yeah, stop blaming everything on me.”
“Shut up, Enzo. You can’t handle the truth.”
“Ok. We’re leaving! Bring us some food, will you?” I said, grabbing Natalias hand and walking towards the exit.
“Great job you idiots, we just embarrassed ourselves.” Draco said.
“Oh piss off Malfoy.” Theo snapped.

The next morning, I was woken up by Pansy and Daphne arguing over who gets to shower first.
What a lovely alarm clock.
I decide to take advantage of the situation and help myself to a shower while they figure it out.
Natalia had already left early this morning to watch Enzo at Quidditch practice. I planned on joining her but Mattheo said it was a boring one, so I slept in instead.
I had just gotten done with my nice long shower when Pansy had came to take hers after obviously winning.
“Oh. We fought for that long?” She asked after seeing the foggy bathroom and my wet hair.
I laughed and padded to my trunk to grab a clean uniform.
I dried my hair with a quick spell and quickly styled it after getting dressed. I put some light makeup on, gathered my books, and finally made my way to the great hall for breakfast.
Mattheo hadn’t finished showering after practice yet, but Enzo and Theo were sat with dripping hair and a monstrous plate in front of them.
“Good morning, Lilah.” Theo said, and I smiled at him.
“Morning T. Hello Enzo.” I greeted, sitting down next to Natalia and Astoria.
“What do you have first?” I asked them.
“Herbology with Puffs, you?” Astoria said, and looked at Nat and I.
“DADA, Gryffindors.” Nat said and I groaned.
“Ugh me too. I don’t know how I’m gonna deal with Professor cupcake this morning. At least we’ll have it together.” I said, and Natalia nodded.
“How about you guys?” I asked the boys.
“We both have Potions.” Enzo said, Theo nodded with his mouth stuffed with pancakes.
“Theodore, I beg, please chew with your bloody mouth closed.” I groaned.
He opened his mouth and I threw an apple at his head.
“Ow! That hurt Delilah.” He whined.
“Good.” I said shortly, grabbing a few pieces of French Toast, along with an egg and bacon.
“Will one of you pass me the pumpkin juice?”
Enzo slid it towards me, and I gave him a smile.
“Thanks Enz.”
I felt hands on my waist and jumped.
“Woah. Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you my love.” Mattheo laughed.
“Merlin. Don’t do that.” I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him down to kiss his cheek. “How are you?”
“I’m feeling alright. Felt nice to get out on the pitch.” He said, sitting down next to me.
“Mmm, yeah. Well I’m glad.” I said raking my hand through his hair to tame it.
“Bloody hell, we’re gonna be late. DADA is starting in 5 minutes.” Natalia cursed.
"Ugh. Sorry darling. I have to go." I huffed, kissing Mattheo on the lips swiftly and followed Natalia out of the great hall.
