(I keep forgetting that this exists mb, comment so I remember)
You sit at the gryffindor table as Dumbledore starts his beginning of the year speech. "welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! Now I'd like to say a few words before we become befuddled by our excellent feast.." Yawning. Snoring. Slacking. Can we just eat.. "first, im pleased to welcome professor R.J. lupin who's kindly consented to fill the post of defense against the dark arts teacher." And it's the hot babe from the train.
"wow.. who is this hot babe.. so mysterious.." you mumble to Hermione. She give you a concerned glance. Suddenly, you hear malfoys annoying bitching from behind you. "potter! Potter! Is it true that you fainted?" he mocks as his friends laugh along with him. "so did your mom when I ate her out last night." Is what you would like to say but in all honesty, you don't wanna say that about malfoys beautiful mother.
"shove off." Ron says as he forces harry to ignore draco.
"he's just jealous he's not surrounded by pretty bitches like you are. The pretty bitches is me and Hermione by the way.. not like any other girls talk to you." You say and place a hand on his shoulder for comfort. "is that.. am I suppose to feel better?"
"uhmmm I mean if youre insecure about it.. you DO talk to other girls.. like you talked to mrs. Weasly before we came here, Shes a girl."
"thanks for that." harry says with a sarcastic smile and kicks you under the table. "god men are always so ungrateful. Never being nice to one again." Unless its that cedric guy.
You space out through the rest of dumbledores speech, It probably wasn't that important, right? (yes it was) instead of actually listening you start to think about cedric again. 'yeah.. he wants me so bad... heh. As They All Do. [tiktok smirking emoji].. he so does want me.. whats the age difference again..'
You're rudely interrupted from your thoughts as Hermione shakes your shoulder, signaling that the speech is over and that you have to get up. "hermioneeee," you cling on to her arm as you get up. "is it really so wrong to try to date a guy 3 years older?"
"where's this coming from?" Hermione asks, pulling you closer so that you don't bump into all the other students. "well, it's a bit weird."
"what's a bit weird?" ron joins in the conversation. "y/n wants to date an older guy."
"cmon why're you making it seem like I wanna date some 40 year old dude..." you turn to face ron. "he's just 3 years older."
"oh wow." He glances away, almost.. jealous if you will. "see, ron sees no issue with it." you decide to ignore his tone. "I do see an issue with it. That's weird." he quickly responds. "oh my goood like I literally don't care if its weird, its not like IM gonna be labeled the weird one in our relationship. HE'S gonna be the weird one for dating a girl that's 3 years younger."
"no yeah I don't think it's a good idea either." Harry chimes in.
"holy shit where the fuck did YOU come from."
"I was here since-"
"and who asked.. you don't even talk to girls, how would you know anything about a good relationship?"
"will you just let that go, I talk to girls everyday." Like yeah that totally doesn't sound defensive at all.
 You decide to not respond for the sake of keeping your peace. "who even is this guy anyways?" Hermione wonders aloud after a few seconds of silence. "so yknow the hot guy I met on the train that I was gonna tell you about? Yeah, his names cedric. And hes a hufflepuff im pretty sure."
"you don't even know him. You just know his name and his house." Ron says bitterly while Harry nods in encouragement.
"whatever, I can't go up these stairs AND argue with you at the same time." You take a deep breath, getting ready to climb way too-fucking-many stairs to get to the dorms. "it's just because you know were right."
When you finally get to the dorm, all tired and worn out, the painting lady decides to waste 5 minutes of your time to show off her singing. Well. Using the word 'singing', very loosely here. "god, she can't even sing!" harry says, exasperated. "first real thing you've said today." You agree as you follow Hermione up to the girls dorm.
"y/n.." she starts as you enter your shared dorm with 3 other girls. "did you see pancys new boyfriend?"
"ohhhh my god I was about to say they don't even look good together! Does she even like him?" one of the other girls chimes in.
"I think its cause draco rejected her last year so she wanted to look less pathetic.."
"yeah no, she definitely doesn't like him.. she was glaring at him whenever he said something." You add on.
"and did you see how-"
And you gossip for the whole night. The other girls went to sleep at 1 am, but you and Hermione decided to stay up a little more. (which is insane because Hermione Never stays up late.. but she could make an exception just for you this once) But that 'a little more' turned into hours as you both giggled about stupid shit in hermiones bed, trying not to awaken the others.
At the time, its seemed like a good idea, the weather outside was rainy, hermiones bed was so cozy and the laughter just filled you with this warm feeling. You just felt alive.
But it was obviously Not a good idea since the next morning you wake up with 2 hours of sleep and a massive headache. What a great start to the new school year. "ughh fuck, seriously its way too early for this." You say as you do your makeup. As soon as youre finished you quickly put on the school uniform, spray on some perfume and comb your hair. "y/nnnn hurry up!" Hermione whines.
"okay okay im done lets go.. god im hungry. By the way Hermione, whats your first class?"
"oh uhm.. its.. actually you can go ahead without me?" she stops suddenly, as if she just remembered something, and runs off before you can respond.
You enter the cafeteria alone and oh wow here comes draco. "morning." He says in a, what he assumes is a charming tone.
"yeah.."
"did you sleep well? Dream of me?"
"why would i ever dream of you, like it'd be an automatic nightmare if you're in it holy shit."
"haha youre always joking around. I like that about you."... Oh god, this was gonna be a long day.
(a/n; does the writing feel off.. say no..)
