"What's wrong Zeph?" she heard Forest ask from the staircase. Zeph had been lying in the dormitory on a couch staring at the ceiling.
"Nothing." Zeph replied still staring at the ceiling.
"Are you sure?" Forest yawned "It's about 3:18 in the morning and you are still down here. You even got back early from Slughorn's. early. You sure nothing's up?" Forest made it to the couch, and plopped herself sown.
"Mhm" Zeph replied. Forest gave her a light push.
"Liar." Zeph sat up.
"Fine. Jillian McLaggen pissed me off with all her prejudice, and stupid bimboness." She finally said, obviously holding back from the other lovely statements she wanted to make about Jillian.
"Jillian?" Forest asked in a stunned manor, "Jillian McLaggen? Why the hell were you talking to Jillian McLaggen. She hasn't got a brain in her head much less a decent conversation. You might as well have been talking to a tree stump. And notice I said tree stump not tree."
Zeph groaned. "I know, I know, I just let her get to me."
"What about that helium head could get to you? And wait you never told me why exactly the two of you even started talking."
"Well I was running over to talk to Albus, and she was just rudely glaring at me, so I snapped at her and…"
"Hmm" Forest mumbled. "Albus, Albus. He and your brother are besties you know." She laughed but received a soft kick from Zeph "Anyways you seem to have been spending a lot of time with him."
"I like talking to him." Zeph replied.
"I see, you like talking to him. Isn't he dating Jillian McLaggen?" Forest stretched her legs and yawned again.
"Mhm" Zeph barely responded.
"So she got a bit territorial tonight I'm guessing." Forest waited for Zeph to respond but she didn't. "So do you like talking to Albus or do you like Albus?"
"Well of course I like him, why else would I talk to him. I don't go out of my way to talk to people I don't like." Forest rolled onto her side and shook her head.
"You know what I mean." Zeph didn't respond. "I mean like as in like like, don't go all first year on me." Forest grumbled into the couch, eyes closed. Zeph just continued to stare at the ceiling. "So what'd she say?" Forest finally said giving up on the previous question.
"She started poking at me" there was a pause. Forest waited to hear the rest of the sentence she knew was not finished "She was commenting on my blood, being a pureblood, being a Malfoy."
They sat their quietly. "Well she's a stupid little prat. She just out right-" but Zeph cut her off.
"It wasn't out right, she was suggesting it." Zeph corrected. "I'm just tired of people judging me when I haven't done anything, and I can't escape. People tell me tojust ignore it, but it's part of history. My Grandfather's name Lucius Malfoy, it's there for everyone to read forever."
Forest shook her head slightly "I don't know what you can do besides push you know? Eventually people who aren't stupid will get it and the stupid people, you can just leave them behind." Zeph sighed leaning in the couch.
"You know, you are my best friend and I love you right?" Forest said into the pillow, trying her best to stay awake. Zeph smiled at her friend.
"Thanks." They sat their quietly for a few minutes. Zeph felt herself finally feeling a little bit more peaceful, falling asleep now that she had gotten her feelings off her chest. Her eyes lids felt heavy as her body relaxed. She was almost about to fall asleep when Forest shot up.
"I FORGOT TO TELL YOU TH-" but Zeph pressed her hand over the mouth of her shouting friend.
"People are sleeping!" she whispered. Forest nodded and Zeph removed her hand.
"We have a guitarist!" Forest exclaimed in the loudest whisper possible. Zeph rolled her eyes.
"Who?" Zeph asked worried about who Forest had sought out. Zeph, Tom and Forest were in a band together and were playing the first Room of Requirement party. The school had secrets room of reuirement parties once a month after quiddtich games. Apparently the school never had parties there when her parents went. It was only for 5th years and up, and being 5th years they had gotten Calix Lovegood, a 6th year to let them play at the first party. Zeph was nervous, especially since they had lied about having a guitarist. Tom drummed, Forest was on base and Zeph sang. And Zeph was getting more worried because the reason they got permission was because Forest was taking on a new commitment.
Ever since last year Calix Lovegood had been pushing Forest to try out for the Ravenclaw seeker. Their current seeker, George Pippin, graduated, and this year they were seeker less. He never would have stumbled upon her if Finnigan hadn't stolen her wand, flying away saying he wouldn't give it back until she went out with him. In response she chased him down on Scorpius's broom, caught him and took him out in seconds. Everyone was shocked seeing as no one at school had ever seen her touch a broom before. However Zeph new better, she knew her mother was a great quidditch player and in no way would either of her children Forest or Jack be mediocre on a broom. In order to get the gig, Forest had to promise she'd at least try out.
"So who's the guitarist?" Zeph asked wanting to know before she fell asleep. Forest yawned.
"Dominique Weasley" she mumbled. Zeph's ears perked up.
"Isn't he a fourth year?" Zeph asked holding her eyes open for only a few more seconds.
Forest snuggled into the couch "Yeah, but he's fantastically amazing awesome-tastic."
"Better be."
Albus walked into the dorm to find his brother James waiting for him in the Gryffindor common room.
"Al, my little brother " he crooned. Albus shook his head at his overly theatrical brother. "I heard what happened."
Albus sat down next to him "What happened? I love hearing things about myself I didn't even know" he said sarcastically smiling. James smirked.
"Oh I'm pretty sure this happened." Albus glanced at his brother and leaned back into the couch. "Heard you were in the middle of a little cat fight."
Albus released a loud groan. "It wasn't a cat fight!" he whined.
James eyebrow rose "Oh so it did happen."
"No it didn't!" Albus shot back.
James shook his head "Al, my dearest little brother…" Albus shoved his brother.
"Can't you go bug Lily or Hugo?" Albus didn't bother mentioning Rose because no one messed with Rose.
"Why would I bug someone when I can help my favorite little brother?" he poked. "Now, tell me what happened." James
Albus sighed. He might as well, it wasn't like it was a secret. Jillian had managed to make it all very public. He turned to his brother and told him everything. James Shook his head, placing it in his palm and began to laugh to himself.
"What?" Albus demanded. James looked at his brother partially shocked but partially expected. His brother just didn't get it.
"Your girlfriend was peeing all over you, so this Zeph girl just lunged." James chuckled "And that Zeph, she likes you, you know." Albus was shocked, but he wasn't sure why it was a happy shock. Zeph didn't like him.
"No she doesn't like me." Albus argued "We're friends."
James got up from the couch and stretched "I didn't hear a just in there." He sang annoying his younger brother. "I'm heading to bed. Gotta get up early." Albus shot his brother a curious look "Jack Bianchi and I are charming the school toilets to so that when they flush the crap appears in Proffessor Neona's room." Albus rolled his eyes.
"Why do you mess with her so often? It doesn't lessen your pile of detentions." Albus asked. James looked down at his brother.
"The woman sent terrible reviews home for us last year in defense against the dark arts. Remember how mad Mum was?" James answered.
"Yes, but I also remember you would frequently jinx and hex people the entire class." James chuckled.
"Well we were the best in the class." James smiled heading up to bed, Albus chosing not to dignify his brother's gloating with a response.
When he was alone he pulled out his wand and a small tape from his pocket that Zeph gave him. He charmed it so that it would play. He'd never seen a tape before, but Zeph had shown him how it worked and said that she had some of her favorite songs on it. A chipper little song started playing and Albus let it wash over him.
He thought about the apology he was going to give Zeph tomorrow.
