"You smell like a stripper" Pansy said to me as she appeared in front of me and looked at me with a suspicious look as I choked on my pumpkin juice as Blaise thumped me on my back
"Why do you smell like a stripper?"
"Wait... strippers have distinct smells? And since when?" I asked as I rubbed my throat and Blaise stared at me
"Why is that what you ask?! I'd be asking how she knows what a stripper smells like!" He said loudly as I burst out laughing
"Point made, how do you know what a stripper smells like?"
"Because I've been near you-"
"So... strippers smell like raspberry and pomegranate body spray?" Blaise asked confused as he paused for a moment and looked between us as I sat there trying not to laugh
"Who's a stripper?"
"Me apparently" I said to Daphne laughing as she dropped down onto the bench beside Pansy
"Ah, I wondered why there was glitter all over your bed"
"What?!"
"Excuse me?" I asked laughing as the two swapped smirks
"I only plan on becoming a stripper if I fail my exa- hold on a minute! Have you been fucking smelling me?!" I asked Pansy laughing as she winked at me and the two of us burst out laughing
"I wondered why she was by your bed last night"
"Daphne what the fuck?" I asked laughing as she joined in as Blaise stared between us
"I'm so happy I don't share a dorm with you all"
"No you're not, if anything you're disappointed"
"Exactly, you miss out on all of our jokes"
"Thank god I do"
"Now now Blaise you should know not to lie"
"Or use the lords name"
"Are you a Christian now?"
"What if I were? What would you do then?"
"Judge you even more than I already do" Blaise shrugged as I fell quiet and turned around with a thoughtful look before I started laughing
"You're a prick"
"Awh thanks Lia, it means a lot to me-"
"Wait wait wait-"
"Hold up-"
"And back track. He calls you Lia?" Pansy and Daphne asked as I nodded and they glanced to each before to Blaise and then to me
"Why?"
"Because he's too lazy to say my whole name"
"I mean, me too. So can we call you 'Lia'?"
"I'm not stopping you" I told them smiling as they high fived and I let out a laugh as I shook my head amused
"So... How was your detention?"
"Not that bad actually, I was with Hagrid-"
"You look so tired-"
"I am. I'm knackered" I admitted laughing as Daphne pointed to my eyes
"They're red"
"Yes. Thank you for the reminder" I told her before swatting her hand away as I filled my bowl with soup
"So where were you all morning?"
"Oh I was in the library, doing my astronomy work"
"Give me a minute. Let me get this straight- you could have of slept but instead you decided to willingly go to the library?" Blaise asked as he stared at me and I nodded amused as he blinked with a blank look on his face
"Are you ok?"
"Blaise!"
"That so mean. Genuine question that I want to know the answer to-"
"Pansy!"
"But mean"
"Blaise... no, no I'm not" I told him as the four of us fell quiet before we all started laughing and I carried on with my lunch once I had finished laughing
"So what are we doing tonight?"
"I'm busy"
"You are?"
"I am"
"You haven't got another detention have you?"
"No, I'm just... busy" I mumbled amused as I looked up and met their curious and suspicious looks as I turned back to my lunch and minded my own business
"This is worrying me"
"Me too"
"I worry myself, never mind you lot"
