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 be alone with Potter." Malfoy snaps.
I know he's probably just saying it to piss Pansy off but what the fuck?
"Okay what the fuck Malfoy?" Pansy says. "What, does she have you under some kind of love potion?"
Malfoy laughs at Pansy and then stands against the wall beside the door. 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?"
"Well, I'm getting tired of your bullshit. You act as if we were never friends and treat me like shit. Why? Because Malfoy doesn't like me? You're that desperate that you pushed your only friend away for Malfoy?" I snap. Malfoy looks up for the first time since he stood by the door.
"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..?
"What does that mean?" I ask.
"We know. We know you and your brother have some plan. You spy on us and get close to us and we tell you stuff, then you go and tell your brother."
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard...
I don't say anything back.
What am I supposed to say? If I deny it, she won't believe me.
I don't even talk to my brother except for when he wants to tell me how I can't be trusted because I'm Slytherin or when he tells me that we can't hangout over Christmas break because he'd rather spend it with his friends.
Instead I just look down at my feet and fight back the tears that want to come flooding out of my eyes.
I won't give them the satisfaction of seeing me cry over something Pansy said.
"That's what I thought." Pansy says before walking off.
I hear Malfoy shuffle a little and then I hear Professor Snape unlock the door.
"Sit where you sit in class, take out your paper and copy the notes off the board into your notes." He says. "I have to go see Dumbledore but I'm locking the door. You better be here when I get back."
He walks out of the room, slamming the door behind him and locking it.
Awesome.
End Of POV
Draco's POV
Pansy and a lot of the other Slytherins think that Maya is only hanging around us to figure out who is a death eater and who isn't, then reporting back to her brother. I thought that for a while too because it made sense and I know Potter would sink that low to get information on us. I don't really know Maya so I can't say if she would do it or not. However, I don't believe it anymore.
The night I heard her talking in her sleep changed my mind about that theory. Potter thinks she's like us. He doesn't trust her either. Of course Pansy will not see it that way until she proves it but I didn't think she'd come right out and tell her what she and everyone else thinks. Pansy is a bitch but she's not usually bold. Not like that.
I look to Maya as the words come out of Pansy's mouth, waiting for her to respond but she just looks at her feet. That won't help her. Pansy was waiting to see how she responded so she can go back and tell everyone else.
When Pansy walks off I wanted to say something. I wanted to say that I don't believe that anymore but then Professor Snape shows up, late to his own detention.
He lets us in and tells us what to do but then leaves again. He seems angry? I mean he's always fucking angry. Anyone who is on our position is always fucking angry but he seems more angry than normal.
He left us alone... in detention? We could just leave.
The room feels very tense, probably because of the conversation her and Pansy had outside.
"Not everyone thinks that by the way." I find myself saying, breaking the tense silence.
She looks up from her paper at me and raises an eye brow. Her eyes are puffy and red. Looks like she's been fighting back tears.
"What Pansy said." I continue. "Not everyone believes it."
"Sure." She says and looks back down at her work.
"Theo doesn't." I say. She laughs.
"Of course Theo doesn't. He actually knows me." She says without looking up.
There was a long pause before either of us spoke again. She was right. Theo was the only one who actually knew her. I've never seen her actually hangout with her brother or anyone else besides us.
"Do you believe it?" She asks as she puts her quill down and turns her chair to face me.
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"It sounds like something Potter would do." I say, "your brother."
"He doesn't like yo- any slytherins." She says.
"You're a Slytherin. Besides. I know how desperate anyone can get for their family to accept them."
"No shit I'm a Slytherin." She says.
"Are you using Theo for information?" I ask. She shoots me a very angry glare.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" She snaps.
Uh oh.
To my surprise, she says nothing else. She just turns her chair and body away from me and continues writing the notes.
"Look.. Theo is my friend. I'm just trying to make sure you aren't using him." I say.
She doesn't answer again.
"Potter..." I say. She doesn't turn around. "Fuck. Okay look I'm sorry. I don't believe what Pansy says. I did but then that night you were talking in your sleep- I don't anymore."
She turns around and raises an eye brow at me.
Fuck.
"Okay." She whispers and turns back around to finish her work.
I start writing the notes because of the feelings of awkwardness and tenseness in the room. Might as well get this shit done with so I can get out of here.
"So you don't hate me now?" She asks. Not looking up from her paper.
"No, I hate you." I say.
"Then why are you acting different towards me now?"
"I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I am not."
"You're so childish holy shit."
"I am not."
"Yes you are."
"Fuck off." I snap.
"Whatever." She says and turns back around. "You yell at Pansy every time she mentions my brother."
"I hate your brother."
"Believe me, I know." She says.
"This conversation isn't getting anywhere." I snap.
"Because you don't have any other words in your vocabulary besides 'I do not' and you're impossible to have a conversation with."
"You don't know me." I say.
"No shit." she says. "We don't know each other yet we've hung out with the same group of people since the first fucking year."
"I know all I need to know about you." I say.
"Like what?" she asks, smashing her quill down on the desk.
"Like you're a Potter."
"Well you're a Malfoy." she says. That felt like a slap in the face.
"You don't know the first fucking thing about my family." I snap.
"I know as much about you as you know about me."
She's not wrong but i'm happy believing she's just like her brother. I'm happy knowing she's just like her brother and that I know all I need to know about her. At the same time, when she says that about my family, it bugs me because I know what it feels like when people assume they know you based on your family.
Professor Snape comes back in and neither of us say another word to each other the rest of the time we're stuck here. Once we're free, we go to the great hall for dinner without speaking to each other and join our friends.
