"He's fucking weird lately." Theo adds.

"I know, he's freaking me out. Ever since that night I slept on the couch."

"Wait... what night you slept on the couch?" Theo asks.

Fuck. I never told him.

"Oh, the night before last night I fell asleep on the couch and I was having a rough dream. When I woke up I saw him in the chair. He wasn't sleeping. He came over to me and said I was being too loud and then went to bed. He was so weird all morning that morning too."

"What the- I didn't hear you. You weren't being that loud if I didn't hear you. I'm a light sleeper."

"I told you, it was weird."

"Did he say anything to you?"

"He said either he more interesting when you talk in your sleep or be quiet."

"What did you say in your sleep?"

"Something about Harry, I don't know."

"It was one of those dreams where he tells you he can't trust you again?" Theo asks.

"Mhm."

"Maybe you said something about him not trusting you because you're Slytherin."

"That- wait... he did get weird when Pansy said something about me going to hangout with Harry." I say.

"Damn, he's got a soft spot for you Maya." Theo jokes.

"No. He hates me." I say.

"His loss." Theo says.

"Yet I have fucking detention with him AGAIN."

"Sucks to be you."

"Feel had for me." I whine.

"No way, you got yourself into this."

"Come on! Help me!"

"No. You're on your own. I don't want to spend time with you and Malfoy. You two are miserable when you're around each other."

"Because he hates me."

"Yeah, I'd say he'll get over it but he hasn't in 6 years so I don't know."

"I don't care." I say and we laugh.

The rest of the classes went by way too fast and I was hoping they'd go by slow. I'm dreading detention later. Snape knows we don't like each other so he'll make sure we sit beside each other and he'll make sure it's miserable.

When I got to Snape's classroom, I was the first one there. Awesome. I stand against the wall across from his door and wait for everyone to show up. Chances are Malfoy won't even show up today and I'm really hoping he doesn't. He was in the mood to cause trouble today and got me detention in the process so maybe he won't show up just to piss Snape off.

"I don't need a fucking escort Pansy. I know where the classroom is." I hear Malfoy say to Pansy. They turn the corner and I see her roll her eyes at him.

"Yeah but we both know you'd rather have me here so you're not alone with her." Pansy says as she glances over to me.

"She doesn't smother me so honestly I'd rather he alone with Potter." Malfoy snaps.

I know he's probably just saying it to piss Pansy off but what the fuck?

"What the fuck is going on with you Malfoy?" Pansy snaps.

Malfoy laughs at Pansy and then stands against the wall beside the door, across from me. Pansy then turns to me and glares.

"I wish you were put in Gryffinfor with your stupid fucking brother so you'd leave us alone"

"Maybe that's why I got put in Slytherin, to make your life a living hell." I say with a smirk.

"Well, it's working." She snaps. "Why don't you hangout with the golden trio? Like honestly. Why must you he around us?"

"Pansy shut the fuck up." Malfoy snaps.

Um?

"What? You like having her around now?" Pansy asks. The anger in her voice rises.

"No, but Theo does." Malfoy says without looking at either of us.

"Theo's a fucking idiot if he thinks having her around makes any of us happy."

"She's his friend." Malfoy says quietly.

"You know if you don't like me, just don't hang around me." I say to Pansy, completely ignoring Malfoy and his weirdness.

"Why should I be the one to leave when I'm friends with the other guys?"

"Because I'm not going anywhere so either you shut the fuck up, or leave."

"You are pathetic." Pansy shouts.

"No. I'm not pathetic. I don't leave my friends for some guy who doesn't even care about me."

"Theo doesn't care about you." Pansy shouts.

"Theo is the only person that cares about me." I snap.

"Because everyone else knows you're probably just a spy for the Gryffinfor golden trio" Pansy shouts.

What..?
