The time had come for our detention, it was now 4pm. We walked into the classroom and sat down at a desk in the front row, next to each other. Professor Snape had his back facing us. "Miss Rain, Mister Malfoy, i hope you both understand why you are here" he began. "I have no idea of the activities they allowed you to get away with at durmstrang, but we do not tolerate truancy at hogwarts Miss Rain, is that clear?" he said in a monotone voice. "Yes sir" i quietly spoke.
"And as your you Mister Malfoy. Shouting at another student, destroying my glass vials and jars, and walking out of lesson is not acceptable. I hope nothing like this will ever happen again. Do i make myself clear?" he said, slightly raising his voice at the unbothered Malfoy. Blaise didn't mention any of that, i needed to ask Malfoy about it but now wasn't the right time. Draco didn't reply, he just sat there looking bored. I nudged him, i really didn't want detention to drag today. Draco gave me a side eye and i signaled for him so say something, he rolled his eyes and look to snape who still had his back to us. "Yes sir" he finally spat out.
"Good, now when i come back i want my ingredients cupboard organized in the correct order and placement. You have 1 hour, if it is not complete in this time then you shall come back another day and finish it." He said, now facing us. It was silent for a few seconds before he stomped out of the room, closing the door behind him. I let out my breath i didn't know i was holding in, i was relieved he was gone. I don't mind organizing things, i usually keep all my books and notes organized in my room.
I sighed and made my way over to the cabinet. I went to grab one of the glass jars to get started when Draco took it out of my hand and raised it in the air, out of my reach. "Give it back draco!" i demanded. "ah ah ah not till we talk Rain" he said smirking. "But Draco" i pleaded. "No Rain those eyes don't work on me, now sit, the sooner we talk the sooner we can do this" he said. I knew he was right, and i would have had to talk to him at some point. So i strolled out of the cupboard and took a seat on one of the desks.
"So what do u wanna talk about" i asked innocently. "don't pretend like you don't know" he chucked. "But on a serious note, did Flint hurt you? He looked like he grabbed your wrist pretty hard" he asked, softening his eyes. "No not really, he just shocked me that's all, but hurt me? no" I answered honestly. "Good, by the way, what you said back to him was hilarious, your more of a slytherin than you think" he joked. If i'm being honest, what he said didn't offend me. I know what i'm capable of, when i want to be evil i can be, but usually, no.
It took a while to organize the cupboard, but me and draco managed to get it done just as Professor Snape walked back through the doors. "I hope you two managed to get it done and weren't messing around the whole lesson" he raised an eyebrow. "No sir we finished it" I said smiling slightly. "Very well, you both may go" he said before sitting down at his desk, with that me and Draco both rushed out of the classroom.
It was now 5pm and I had an hour to kill before dinner, I decided i would try to find the golden trio as i hadn't seen them in a while. I told Draco that i was going to do something else, i didn't tell him what, i didn't really think it was much of his business. Of course he had his suspicions, but oh well.
I raced down all the corridors looking for them, i couldn't seem to find them anywhere. Out of the corner of my eye i saw the same boy i had seen in Herbology, i think his name was Neville. He was in the same house as them, so i thought maybe he could help me. I walked over to him and stopped right in front of him. He had his nose in a book about plants, it was rather sweet if i'm being honest.
"Neville is it?" I asked him, this caused him to jump and his book went flying in the air and onto the floor. I quickly bent down to pick it up for him. "Yes that's me, and your Delilah aren't you? we have herbology together" he said smiling. "Yes that's me" i smiled, "have you seen harry, hermione or ron anywhere? i've been looking all over for them but i can't seem to find them" i said. "Yeah harry's in the dorm, not sure about the other two, do you want to come with me so you can get him?" he asked. "Yes please that would be great" i beamed.
We both walked down the corridor, side by side. We chatted a bit, he was a sweet boy, very nice and polite. He asked me about how my first proper day was, and i asked him about herbology and things like that, i definitely saw us being friends in the future. Eventually we arrived at a big painting of a fat lady, he whispered something to her and suddenly the painting flew open, exposing a stair case. "It's right up here" he said. I followed him up the stairs and into the gryfindor common room.
I have to say, the common room was pretty, but it was nothing like slytherin. The red colours gave me a headache. "It's the first door at the top of the stair case" he told me, before sitting down on one of the sofas. "Thank you Neville, see you later?" i asked him. "Yeah probably, i'll see you at dinner for sure" he said. I waved goodbye and began to climb the short stair case, i started to knock of the door. "Come in" was all i heard harry say. I walked in and screamed as soon as i saw what was in front of me. Harry had just gotten out of the shower and was in his boxers, he was drying his hair with a towel and so couldn't see that i had walked in. He had little water droplets covering his body.
I have to say, harry had a nice body, but this was so embarrassing for me. As soon as harry heard me scream he looked in my direction. I quickly span round to face the other way. "I'll just come back later or something" I said quickly before walking out and slamming the door behind me. I was hot from embarrassment, my cheeks had gone flushed and i was beginning to sweat, i quickly marched through the halls, i decided to head towards the quidditch pitch for some fresh air.
It became apparent that i wasn't paying attention to where i was going as i smacked straight into someone, causing me to stumble. I looked up and saw draco looking at me with a confused expression. "Where are you of to in such a rush?" he questioned. "oh you know, just need some fresh air" i replied. "Why are you so flustered? embarrassed because you nearly fell over?" he taunted. I looked him straight in his eyes. "You wish" i replied, he kept pushing me to tell him what had happened that i eventually stormed off. I wasn't going to take this i needed the fresh air.
I was now outside and waking on the field when draco appeared again. "where are you going?" he asked me. "to the quidditch pitch" i simply replied not looking at him. "why?" he questioned. This made me stop walking and turn to look at him. "Do you really need to know everything?" i asked him rather annoyed. "Yes" he smiled proudly. I rolled my eyes, "fine, when i was little me and my dad would play quidditch, i don't really play it anymore, but we love to watch the games, it calms me down, gives my mind a break, so that's where i'm heading" i snapped before turning and continuing to walk. "fair enough" was all he replied.
we walked the rest of the way in a comfortable silence, it was peaceful. When we arrived, i took a seat on the first row of benches on the closest stand. Draco took a seat next to me. "Now care to tell me why you were all annoyed and flustered back there" he asked. I thought for a second, i wasn't really flustered anymore and i needed draco to make one of his jokes right now. "fine i'll tell you" i began, "i walked in on harry practically naked and it was so embarrassing" i chucked. I turned to look at draco, he was looking at me, he wasn't smiling, he had a straight face.
"why were you in potters room anyway?" he asked annoyed, i could tell this wasn't going the way i had hoped it to. "Well i was looking for him and someone told me he would be in his room, he must have thought i was ron or something because when i knocked he just told me to come in, so i did" i said, confused as to why it was such a problem. He rolled his tongue on the inside of his cheek and huffed. "You know what" he began, "I was right earlier when i called you a whore. you were probably there to fuck him or something" he spat, he sounded full of hatred.
I sat there for a few seconds trying to process this sudden mood change. I stood up and turned to him, "you know what draco fuck you" i spat back, before turning on my heel and walking back up to the castle. This time he didn't follow me. Good, now i was furious.
I stomped my way into the castle, i had a look at my watch, there was 5 minutes till dinner, i decided to go in and sit down anyway. When i got in i saw Matteo and Blaise sat next to each other on one side of the bench. I huffed and shuffled over to them and plonked myself down on the bench opposite them.
"hey Del, where's Draco?" Blaise asked me.
"I don't fucking know and i don't care" I spoke through my teeth.
"woah what's up with you?" Matteo but in.
"Oh you know just Draco back to his ways, calling me a slut and a whore and telling me all i wanna do is fuck everyone" I huffed, pushing my empty plate away from me. When i'm annoyed i tend to loose my appetite.
"Ugh not this again, don't worry i'll speak to him about it" blaise smiled trying to brighten the mood, "but for now can you eat something" it was more of a demand than a question. I pulled my plate closer to me and loaded it with some roast potatoes, roast beef and some veggies. The three of us sat there talking, i was finally starting to feel less annoyed.
I had practically finished my dinner, there was only a few peas left, when i saw blaise and matteo turn there attention from me to something behind me. "what? what is it?" i began, but before they could reply i felt myself being yanked out of my seat. "What the hell!" i shouted as i turned around to see who had grabbed me. I looked up and met those gorgeous grey eyes, all though this time they were full of anger and hatred.
"come with me now" he said through his teeth, "no i want to stay here with blaise and mat-" i started but was interrupted by draco. "I wasn't asking" he spat before pulling me out of the dinning hall by my arm. "What the hell Draco let me go?!" I screamed at him, he didn't seem to care as he didn't let go. He dragged me all the way down towards the common room, we were about about to round the corner leading to the dungeons when i heard someone shout behind us.
"Let her go Malfoy!"
