My brown eyes fell on the nearest clock and
I deeply sighedβ I was supposed to meet everyone at Hogsmeade over an hour ago,
but if honest I didn't want to go at all.
I force myself out of my bed and put some food in Valkyrie's tank, ignoring her obnoxiously loud croaks for me to let her out. My hands wrapped around my chest as I walked into the bathroom.
If honest I didn't even want to go to Hogsmeade but I think that they'd
consider me a bad friend if I didn't.
A low huff leaves my lips as I splashed cold water onto my face, attempting to get myself fully up.
The sound of my bedroom door opening makes me stop in my tracks. One of the girls probably forgot something and came back.
"Hello?" A soft voice cooed as they closed the door behind them.
I peaked my head inside of the bedroomβ Luna Lovegood stood in the middle with a little smile on her face. Why the fuck is she here?
"What are you doing here Luna?" My hands rubbed my eyes to make sure that I seeing correctly. Most important question of the
day is how did she even get in here?
"Blaise told me to make sure that you were still coming, is this your toad?" Luna beamed as she ran her hand over Valkyrie's cage.
I nodded before walking back into the bathroom, hoping that Ivy didn't come back from her studying early. She'd probably end up trying to fight poor Luna. And I wasn't the type of person to break up a fight, I'd rather watch them and cheer someone on.
"So are you and Blaise like... dating?"I reluctantly questioned as I sat down on
the edge of my bed.
Luna finally looked away from Valkyrie and brought her lower lip in between her teeth.
"I think so" she cooed.
"I got to give it to you Luna, it's impressing you got little Zucchini on a leash" My fingers forced themself in the holes of my fishnet stocks as I bantered that.
The blonde girl did nothing but grin and
blush But I wasn't even joking, it was quite impressing that she got him to commit, that's the first time that he's done that since we've been friends.
"So, do fancy anyone?" Luna randomly questioned making my eyes dart to her and my eyebrows furrow. "I won't tell if you do"
"Bloody hell no" I hissed as I shook my head to myself. I hadn't found someone that interesting since my third year when I had a school girl crush on Graham Montague.
And when I really got to know the overly hairy boy I quickly regretted it, he's an asshole.
She laughs and I rolled my eyes. I suggested that we should get going and she quickly agreed. I grabbed my black mini purse from
my trunk before following behind her into the corridor. I send Luna an unsure look as she begins to skip. And they say I'm odd.

I walked into the pub and the smell of beer quickly hit my nostrils making my stomach turn. I glanced around in disgust as I pinched the tip of my nose.
"Thought they'd finally learn how to properly clean this shit hole" I hissed under my breath.
My gloved hands slowly unbuttoning the buttons to my black cape coat.
"I think its lovely" Luna coos as she quickly waves her hand at someone with a large smile on her face. She's so wholesome.
My eyes looked around the pub trying to see who and I instantly spotted Ron, who was having a conversation with Harry. I come to the conclusion that's who Luna was waving at by the way Potter gestured her over. Ron's eyes finally looked up from the menu that was in his hands and caught mine, I quickly looked away and cleared my throat.
"Do you knβ okay bye" before I could even finish my sentence Luna ran off to their table,
her radish earrings bouncing off of her shoulder.
Usually I oppose to day drinking but right now there's nothing that I wanted to do more than that right now.
"Good afternoon" I greet the bartender with a soft smile which he quickly returned. "I'd like a bottle of fire whiskey"
"You have to be seventeen to order fire whiskey ma'am, do I need to check your legal rights?" He asked.
I didn't turn seventeen until a few days, but my smile didn't bother dropping because I needed him to believe what I said was true. "Bloody hell, I've forgotten it in my dorm room, but I'm sure we can work something out, yeah" I pulled out my billfold.
"Isn't that bribing?"An annoying voice says from behind me. You have to be fucking kidding.
I let out an aggravated sigh as I turned
around, my smile forcing its self back on my face. "Didn't see you there Granger" I lied,
I seen her when she first walked over here.
I was just hoping that she wouldn't say anything to me.
"Yeah whatever" Granger scoffed, pushing her curly hair out of her hideous face. "Bribing is against the laβ"
"Muggle law, it's against the Muggle law Granger, the Wizarding world has nothing against bribing, But I get the misdemeanor being that's what you are" I corrected.
Grangers eyes grew wide for a quick moment and she seemed lost of words. "I am not a Muggle!" She choked out very loudly.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you prefer the term mudblood... my bad" I smirked, handing
the bartender a few sickles.
Once again she was lost of words.
I grabbed the Firewhisky from the man and thanked him. My body turned back to Granger with a mischievous look on my face.
"Tell your boyfriend I said hi Granger,
and to come talk to me when he finally
stops breeding half-bloods with you"I teased.
As I was just about to walk away someone grabbed my forearm, yanking me back.
This bitch has lost her fucking mind.
"Have you gone fucking mental Granger?" I laughed in total disbelief as I turned around and met her with wide eyes.
"Don't you dare talk about Ron!" The brown haired girl warned, her face plastered with rage.
I looked over my shoulder at where her stupid friends were sitting, both boys were already looking at us with concern or worry I couldn't really tell.
"Trust me Granger, if you don't watch your back I'll be doing more than talking about him"I evilly grinned making Ron raise his eyebrows at me. From the expression on his face I knew he thought I was telling her about our previous conflicts.
She scoffed and my eyes darted to her as my head tilted. "Ron wouldn't touch someone with such beliefs as you, he's an actual good person"
"Is that what you think? That he wouldn't touch me" when her expression didn't change
I raised my eyebrows. "Bet me bitch"
It was like the pendant on my necklace understood what was going on, because just
as those last words left those the death eater symbol beamed under the sunlight.
"What are you going to do, Moons huh? Get your death eater friends on me because merlin knows you can't defend yourself againβ"
I don't know maybe it was just the bottled up anger I had for in my body that made me do it.
My hand snatched out of her grip and slapped her across her face, making her brown cheek grow red.
"You dirty blooded slag!" I yelled as I shoved her making her fall down. The bottle of whiskey fell from my hand and came crashing to ground, causing the glass to fly everywhere.
I was pretty sure that everyone in the pug was looking at me as if I'd gone insane but I didn't care. Grangers words cut me way deeper than it should've.
Her words repeat in my headβ Because merlin knows you can't defend yourself. I was sick of everyone saying that to me. Sick of everyone down playing me as if I'm this weak little girl who's nothing but looks.
"Can't defend myself, huh? Is that what you think Granger... let me show you just how wrong you are" Venom dripped from my voice as I said that. My eyes unknowingly flashed a deep red color as I pulled my wand out.
Just as an unforgivable curse was about to leave my lips I remember that we were surrounded by people. If I done what I
wanted to do with I'd be sent to Azkaban.
But that did mean that I couldn't send a jinx
her way.
Ron and Harry quickly ran over and helped their friend off of the ground before pointing their wands towards me.
"Hey, no wand are to be drawn in my pug!" An elder women screams as she comes from the back.
I chose to listen to her because I didn't want to get my Hogwarts trip rights token away from me. I slid my wand back in my pocket and gestured Theodore and Blaise to stop their harsh words towards Harry and Ron.
"If I were you I'd watch my back granger" I hissed as I glared at her, my eyes flashing back to its normal color.
My shoulder bumped into hers as I stormed over to grab my coat before leaving this beyond filthy pub.
"What happened?" Theodore asked as he ran behind me.
"I'll tell you what happened that filthy fucking mudblood is playing with my fucking temper,
She doesn't know what I'm capable what I could have done to her!" I said loudly purposefully because I noticed the trio walking out of the pub behind us.
Theodore gulped and ran his hand through hair. He tried to suggest that I calmed down but I wasn't listening.
I looked over to the side and noticed to girls walking past. One that I recognized to bs on the Gryffindor Qudditch team holding the box I attempted to open a few weeks back. Draco doesn't even like her, how come she gets the pretty necklace?
"Moons, I was thinking that maybe the two of us could hang out sometime" Theodore randomly said.
"We hang out all of the time Theo, what are you on about?" I looked at him in vexation.
Bloody hell I hope he didn't mean hanging out like that.
"Nβno like alone, without Blaise and Luna"He rubbed the back of his neck as he looked at me with a hopeful look.
We'd been friends for so long that even if I did feel that way about him I had to say no. But I also didn't want our friendship to suffer if I said no. Maybe he just wants to hang out as friends.
"Sure I guess" I answered without coming to the conclusion of my answer. Bloody hell why would I say that.
A toothy smile grew on his face and he wrapped his hand around my shoulder
making me cringe.
The moment was ruined by a loud yell filling the chilly air. I looked ahead and squinted my eyes, the girl from earlier was now rising from the ground making me bewilder.
The trio ran past us and attempted to grab onto her before it was to late. Harry ran off to get help well that's what I assumed when I seen him run off as fast as he could.
"Isn't that Draco's boβ" I questioned, looking up at Theodore with an raised eyebrow.
Surely his task wasn't to kill some random Gryffindor.
"Shut up, Rebekah" Theodore interrupted me as grabbed my hand and dragged me away from the scene. Making me almost trip over the piles of snow.
I couldn't help but to look back in attempt at the see what was happening. It looked like that oaf Hagrid had came and to save the day and help get Katie to the ground.
Ron eyes darted around for a quick moment before they caught mine. Unexpectedly a grin grew on my face making me hell of suspicious.
I didn't know why I did that honestly.
I turned back to face the front before I could even do anything else stupider than what I just did. I knew that because of that the trio was going to put me as a suspect in their stupid investigation to find out what happened.
"Bloody hell Theodore... did Draco?" I looked at him in shock, I didn't know Draco all of that was but I didn't think he capable of doing that.
"Just be quite Rebekah" he demanded finally letting my bruised forearm out of his rough grip.
This time I obeyed.
