♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡

On Tuesday morning, people stared at Robyn. She was somewhat used to stares at this point, but it seemed to be with a new sort of intensity all of a sudden. And this made her nervous. Very nervous. Because the previous evening had been the very first aptly (or perhaps foolishly) named "Dumbledore's Army" meeting, which she, obviously, had attended.

And so had several other people. Several other people who didn't trust her, and who she didn't trust, either.

But Hermione said they wouldn't tell...

So why were people staring (more than usual)?

"That you, Robyn? Or is it Goblin, come to introduce herself?" sneered Pansy as Robyn took a seat at the Slytherin table for the first time in a long while.

"Don't be stupid, Pans," scolded Daphne.

"How come you never told me about Goblin?" whined Astoria.

"Robyn...or Goblin, there's no need to be embarrassed, we're not judging you," smiled Millie.

"Speak for yourself," Pansy sneered once more.

Tracey what's-her-face said nothing.

"You're joking me," said Robyn as they all stared at her waiting for some sort of response, "you are joking me..."

Parvati and Lavender! Lying liars!

She turned in her seat to get a glimpse of the two girls at the Gryffindor table. They were already looking at her, and they were waving their arms frantically. It was almost comical, but Robyn wasn't laughing; she was annoyed.

Because now there was yet another reason for people to gossip about her.

And...ugh! Why did she say Goblin? Seriously?

Stupid.

But she wasn't the only stupid one. Anyone who believed the ridiculous rumour – they were even more stupid. Stupider. The stupidest—

"I don't believe for a second that Robyn has a secret Squib twin, do you, Robyn?" Daphne said sensibly.

—Apart from Daphne. Good old Daphne. Pretty Daphne.

"No, I do not," said Robyn in the most condescending voice she could manage (which wasn't hard), "oh my Gods, are you lot serious? You can't be serious—"

"Merlin, Robyn. I can barely survive two sisters. Another and I might off myself. Especially a Squib one."

Oh, nice. More people come to bother her. This time in the form of her brother, and right beside him was Draco, who she hadn't spoken to since he kissed her a couple of days ago. She should just take her lunch and eat it outside. Anything to get away from the tomfoolery.

"Shut up, all of you. Seriously. You're not this stupid- well, I'm not sure about Pansy, but the rest of you—"

"Watch it, Rosie, I can take points, remember?" snarled Pansy.

Robyn glanced to Draco at the familiar moniker, but he did not meet her eye.

So weird.

She scoffed loudly and swept away from the Slytherin table, snatching a pumpkin pasty from Lloyd's plate for her travels. On the way out, she glared at Parvati and Lavender.
