"You'll never believe what I got from him for my birthday?" Pansy squeaked.
"What?" the other girls squealed.
"A ring!" she proclaimed.
The girls gasped from the room across the hall. I was trying to do my summer homework but couldn't concentrate because I could hear my sister Daphne and her annoying friends giggling, squealing, and chattering about none other than Pansy's boyfriend, Draco Malfoy. How I hated her, with a passion. I hate to admit it, even in my mind, but I have liked…okay I've loved him all my life it seems, for the last four years…since the day I first saw him.
"Greengrass, Astoria" Professor McGonagall called.
I eagerly ran up to the stool and waited for the hat to call out my house. I remembered my mother's last words as the sorting hat was placed on my head.
"You better be in Slytherin" my mother tells me.
We couldn't have that now can we, a great disappointment indeed.
"Ah a Greengrass" the sorting hat said in my ear.
"There's only one place for you-Slytherin!"
I breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to take a seat next to my sister.
"I guess mom can't disown you just yet" she tells me, us both sharing a grin.
"Damn" I say sarcastically. A few of her 3rd year friends laughed and I turned to get a good look at them all and that's when I saw him. Draco Malfoy. His blonde hair and grey blue eyes. Everything about him was perfect.
"And still is" I whispered quietly. I was taken from my memory by another loud squeal from my sister's bedroom.
"He's just sooo perfect. I sometimes think I don't deserve Draco" Pansy sighed.
Because you don't.
"Of course you deserve him Pansy" Daphne says.
"Yeah I guess I do." More squeals.
"Will you two shut up" I say yelling at them while walking to my sister's room.
"What do you want Astoria?" Pansy asked.
"You two are fucking loud, that's what. I can't even hear myself think in my own room" I tell them.
"Astoria…shut your door then" Daphne says annoyed, "Pansy was telling me about her romantic night with Draco and you just had to come in and ruin it" Daph says.
"If you both would quit squealing like pigs, I wouldn't need to interrupt. And close your damn door" I tell her angrily.
"Just because you have no love life, Astoria, doesn't mean you have to come and ruin other people's stories about theirs. You're just mad because it was about Draco" Daphne says.
"What? What the hell does that have to do with anything?" I ask, keeping my blush in check. The two girls snickered though.
"Little Tori is jealous" Pansy tells me.
I raise a brow at her, "You're delusional if you think I would be jealous of you Pansy. And too I could care less about your fucking boyfriend. Keep the damn squealing down to a minimum" I tell them both and walked out of her room, slamming her down behind me.
Yeah Tor, keep telling yourself that!
