"Why is that so loud?!" I asked, almost shouting to Flint as the music blared in our ears from the common room, a grin on our faces as he shrugged and we all went off in different directions
"Lia!"
"Pansy!" I shouted back, laughing as she crashed into me full force, her eyes wide as I hugged her back
"You alright?"
"I thought you were dead!"
"Ha, not yet-"
"It's not funny!" She shouted at me as I stepped back and shook my head laughing, blowing her a kiss as a smile eventually formed on her face and I grabbed a bottle of firewhisky from off of the table and dropped down onto a couch and shook it slightly in her direction
"Well come on! Let's drink up to the fact that I'm not dead!"
"She's going to get more annoyed if you keep joking about it" Turning, I grinned at Theodore who had sat down next to me with a smile
"Are you okay?"
"Oh I'm fine, a few scrapes and bruises and that's about it"
"It was a bad fall-"
"I bet I still looked glamorous" I said to him laughing as he smirked slightly, trying to hide the amused look on his face as the others dropped down around us and I turned to him with a grin
"You didn't deny it"
~
"So let me get this right. We tell a lie, and two truths?"
"Yes Blaise. It's not that difficult to understand-"
"You've got to keep in mind that he isn't sober" I mumbled to Draco, my speech slightly slurred as I grinned at him from where I was leaning against Theodore, half empty bottle of firewhisky limp in my hand while I looked to Daphne and Blaise who were leaning against the table, Blaise looking as if he was on the verge of falling asleep
"I'll go first-"
"Lie!"
"I-what? I haven't started....?" I said to Blaise quietly as I stared at him confused as he rolled his neck slightly and I stared at him concerned before letting out a small and awkward cough, glancing away from him as I looked between the others
"Right.... I have green eyes, I have black hair and last year I jumped off of the top branch of a tree in the forbidden forest and landed in a heap on the ground while seeing if I could use Wingardium Leviosa on myself-"
"Ha! Yeah, it's not supposed to be that easy-" Daphne scoffed as a smirk crossed my face, Theodore taking the bottle from me before having a drink and handing it back to me as I looked at him
"Her eyes are grey-"
"You did what?!" Blaise shrieked, lifting his head, all traces of drowsiness gone as he stared at me wide eyed and I grinned at Theodore as Daphne scooted forward slightly
"Are your eyes grey?"
"You didn't know that?" I asked quietly, a slightly disappointed feeling in my chest as she peered at me, squinting her eyes before stopping as she raised her eyebrows surprised
"They are grey!"
"You didn't know...." I mumbled to myself as I looked away from her, taking a drink from the bottle as she scrambled to her feet, Pansy having shouted her name drunkenly from the steps to the dorm as she disappeared and I watched Blaise slump backwards onto the floor. Taking another drink I tried to numb that slightly sick and disappointed feeling that was now growing in my stomach.
"You really expected Greengrass to notice something like that?"
"Considering I've spent over three years with her. Nearly every hour near and with her: I would've thought she'd have of noticed" I explained to Draco quietly, finishing what was left in the bottle as I put it down on the floor with the other empty ones as I looked around the room, looking at Miles and Adrian who were sitting on the other side of the room with a few others, pink in the face when they looked over after just having finished downing a bottle each as they winked and a grin crossed my face and I looked away
"I knew they were grey. If that counts"
"Well with the amount of times we've glared at each other: I'm not surprised you know that my eyes are grey" I scoffed, looking at him with a grin as he stood up and walked away amused as I nudged Blaise's foot, getting no response as I looked to Theodore, watching as he lowered the bottle of firewhisky slowly making a laugh get the better of me
"Are you alright-?"
"I like you"
"Funny that: I like you too. Otherwise I wouldn't be friends with you-"
"You're not understanding"
"I think I am...."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah.... I just can't admit that I've been waiting for you to say that since first year" I told him quietly, letting out a laugh as I turned my head to him with a smile, looking at the grin on his face as I let out a quiet sigh, my smile growing as I turned away, looking at the floor with pink cheeks
"Are you coming on the next Hogsmeade trip?"
"Depends on when it is"
"Well... whenever it is, would you come with me?"
"Is this Theodore Nott asking me out on a date?" I asked, looking at him with a smirk as his face tinted red slightly before nodding
"Yes, I suppose"
"Yeah, okay"
"Okay?"
"Okay" I laughed as he grinned at me and I was hugged tighter as I passed him a bottle, tapping it against mine as we both took a drink
"Well done by the way"
"Thank you, I'm glad we won-"
"Amelia! You're happy! Why?! You're not usually!"
"Fuck you Lucian! You're a crapbag!"
"Thank you!"
"You're really close with them all?"
"Yep, always have been. Always will be"
