I smoothed my jumper over and checked my hair in the mirror. Tonight was important. I had to turn out or people would talk - and right now that was the last thing I wanted. 'Pansy would be there' I reminded myself, the thought of her arms wrapping round my shoulders and her lips on mine inspiring a dull heat in my belly - tonight would be a perfect opportunity to show the world HIS girlfriend, and it would stop all the goddamn rumours that followed me round the corridors. Even first years had heard them; and my father sent an owl over last week to remind him which family he belonged to. Things were getting ridiculous, and when the schools LGBT alliance sent me an informal invite to their fortnightly weekends I promised myself I would do something.
'This is something.' My brooch was a snake coiled around a dove, constricting the little bird in real time, enchanted to writhe on my chest 'You can show them, tonight, that you're.. normal'. In my pockets was a chocolate frog wrapper, I closed my hands into a fist around it and closed my eyes 'As long as you avoid him, it'll all be okay, It'll-'
There was a sharp knock on my door. Blaise, ever the impatient one, waited at my door, a six pack of firewhiskey dangling from his hands. I pushed down my anxiety and guilt with a curt nod, ready to go out. Crabe and Goyle were talking quietly to one another in the the common room, but stopped when entered, a quiet sense of embarrassment about them. I had that effect on people. "Where are the others?" I asked, They both shrugged, and Blaise stepped in "They went on ahead, even the girls" He glared at me "It always takes you so long to get ready"
"What about Pansy?"
"She's looking hot if that's what you mean"
I snorted. Of course she looks hot, I couldn't have just anyone hanging off my arm every goddamn day. I had to keep the image up.
"Let's go then" I ran a hand through my hair, checking for stay strands. "Show the fucking Gryfindors who's boss"
