Athena had finally come back after having an intense session of snogging with Luna. She came back all giggly and happy. A bit of her make up was smear along her lips, but her smile could not have been bigger.
Ginny and Athena had gone to dance leaving me sitting alone at the bar by myself. I know, depressing right.
I was mindlessly sipping my drink when a somewhat recognizable voice approached behind me asking the 'bartender' who was a fourth year for a glass of whiskey. Muggle whiskey.
"Who knew you cleaned up this well" said the voice sipping his glass of whiskey.
I turned around to the voice and behind me was Draco Malfoy leaning against the bar nonchalantly sipping his glass. He wore a white button down long sleeve shirt with the cuffs folded upward. He had black dress pants and his hair was tussled on his head nicely. He was radiating sexual appeal.
"I'll take that as a compliment" I noted in my mind. The therapist part of me sometimes just never stops.
"Want to dance?" he asked me.
"Ask Astoria or the blond chick that you were sitting with" I said irritated.
"So you were watching me?" he chuckled to himself sipping his glass again.
"Hardly, it was more like you were watching me" I rolled my eyes.
He spun my seat to face him so my eyes were met with his piercing grey eyes. I understood the appeal, sure. His eyes were a light grey that I'd never seen in anyone before, they were hypnotizing, drawing you in without you even noticing.
"Like what you see" he teased with the infamous smirk that made every girl swoon.
"Barely" I sighed spinning back around to view the party where Ginny and Athena were swaying their hips.
He fake clutched his chest offense, "I'm offended."
I rolled my eyes at his idiocy, he knew what he did to women. I could smell sex off of him.
"What do you want?" I asked.
He leaned close to my ear. I could feel his breaths on my neck, making my whole body heat up without me realizing. The air around us smelled like whiskey and his breath had the lingering smell of mint and alcohol. Mostly alcohol.
"You know exactly what I want" he growled making the heat swell to my cheeks, but I refused to show what effect he was having on me.
I rolled my eyes in irritation, "try someone else" I patted his back making my way to Ginny and Athena.
Ginny and Athena welcomed me with open arms as I started dance with them, feeling my hips sway to the music like they had a mind of their own. My hands traveled down my body, feeling every curve and inch.
Athena and Ginny were very sweaty at this point as they had been dancing for quite sometime. I looked over to Pansy who was glaring daggers at me, most likely for talking to Malfoy while she was trying to seduce him. Adrian Pucey had vacated to who knows where and Pansy was stomping over to me like I was a dead woman.
In a way, I was.
She pushed through everyone, even Athena and Ginny who's face hardened at the sight of her. "Who the fuck do you-" Ginny started as Pansy pulled me to the side once more this night.
"Why were you talking to my Drakey" she asked irritated and the jealousy was radiating off of her.
"He came up to me" I sighed, being around her presence made my head hurt.
"He doesn't approach girls, they approach him. Your lying to me" she accused.
"Pansy I'm not lying to you and as I've said to many times in one night, get over him."
"Oh I know what this is about" she pointed at me trying to be menacing. "You want to steal my Drakey" her finger was almost in my eye. "You were telling me this whole time to get over Drakey because you want him for yourself."
This girl could not be farther from the truth.
"You were trying to break us up the whole time. You were never helping me because every time I looked at him" her voice cracked a little. "He was looking at you" she yelled started to make a few heads turn.
"Jesus Pansy calm down" I backed away slowly as she started pushing me forward. "I want nothing to do with Draco Malfoy, you can have him."
"No, you are trying to steal him from me" tears were brimming on her eyes. "I thought maybe we could have been friends, but your just a slut trying to steal my boyfriend."
I smacked my forehead, "Pansy he's not your boyfriend."
"See your trying to break us apart" her finger was wiggling in my face. "Don't talk to me again."
I know I should've been ecstatic for her decision to never talk to me again, but I kind of felt bad. I mean, I definitely wasn't trying to steal 'her Drakey', but she had said that we were friends. Honestly, I felt guilty for absolutely no reason.
I shouldn't have felt guilty because I did nothing wrong. But I did. Maybe in a weird distant universe I was friends with Pansy Parkinson, but in this reality at least, I was not.
"So your trying to steal her boyfriend" said the blond prat that started this whole situation. "Now who could that be?"
I rolled my eyes at the ferret boy that was being an annoying prat. "You, obviously."
"Oh but I think I've made it clear that I'm not her boyfriend" he continued.
"Oh believe me I've told her that many times" I took another long swig of my second glass of firewhiskey. The burn of the firewhiskey down my throat was more evident and I could feel it travel all the way down to my stomach.
A pit of firewhiskey sat in my stomach, eating me up from the inside. Like my guilt, even though I had no reason to be guilty.
Pansy was seated with Theodore Nott and who I thought to be Daphne Greengrass. She hadn't noticed that Malfoy was talking to me and let's keep it that way.
"You talk about me?" he mused teasingly. His smirk grew bigger and his eyebrows wiggled, trying to get a reaction out of me.
"You wish."
"I really do" he said below my ear just enough to send chills down my spine and make my breath quicken, though I wasn't going to show it. I inhaled a breath sharply, closing my eyes trying to settle my mind and my heart that was beating outside of my chest.
"Look" I said turning to him. "I don't know what you want with me all of a sudden, but please go to the many people that would gladly throw themselves at you." I confidently walked toward Neville who was sitting by himself watching everyone dance, looking a bit lonely.
"Hey Nev, you okay?" I asked him waving my hand in front of his eyes that were unmoving.
"Yeah" he said glumly.
"Well that's a lie" I pointed out taking the seat next to him. "What's wrong?"
"Everything" he sighed.
"Be more specific."
"I assume Ginny told you I'm gay" he started. I nodded my head, but Ginny only confirmed my suspicions. "Okay well I fancy this guy."
"Blaise" I nodded.
"W-What?" he sputtered incredulously.
"The guy you fancy is Blaise" I said trying to confirm it.
"What- How did you know?" he asked like it wasn't the most obvious thing ever.
"It's quite obvious Neville" I laughed. "So what happened in the bathroom between you two?" I asked wiggling my elbows and eyebrows.
"Nothing really, he helped me clean my shirt so it wouldn't stain" Neville started blushing profusely.
"There's more to the story" I said in a sing song like voice.
"W-What."
"There's something your not telling me."
"H-How" he asked once again.
"I'm a therapist, well kind of, I don't have much experience, but I do notice things. Your blushing Nev" I explained. "So spill."
"Well he told me to take of my shirt to clean it and I dunno and we were kind of just staring at each other. I guess we had kind of like a moment. I was sitting on top of the sink and he was just looking at me" Neville explained.
"Oh my god" I squealed excitedly. "You should talk to him more."
"But I get so nervous and I just embarrass myself" he whined.
"Neville you cut the head of Nagini, I think you can handle talking to Blaise" I chuckled slightly, but he only grew more pale.
He laughed nervously, "Somehow I think killing Nagini was easier." He scratched the back of his head.
"Oh come on Nev, you got this" I encouraged him as I dragged him to where Blaise was sitting, chatting with Malfoy.
Neville looked wide eyed as he realized where I was dragging him and started to pull me back the other way. "No Neville" I grunted as I pulled him back toward me. Neville continued to pull away from me as I secured my to hands around his arm and dragged him with all my strength to where Blaise was sitting.
Blaise was chatting with Malfoy and Nott as girls sat around the couch and even on the floor just to be around Malfoy's presence. Merlin, people were obsessed.
We were really close to them as Neville pulled back making me stumble backward and land on something. Wait, not a something a someone.
I turned my gaze upward to meet the smirking face of Draco Malfoy. Not again. His arms were securely wrapped around my waist and our arms were touching causing jots of electricity to shoot up in my skin. My skin felt like it was on fire and my cheeks were definitely hot and blazing.
"If you wanted to sit on my lap, all you had to do with ask" he smirked. I rolled my eyes and looked to Neville who felt really bad, but most likely did not want to get involved with it.
"I'm sorry" I said trying to get up from his lap. I looked at my surroundings, Blaise and Theo were chuckling at me so I sent Blaise a glare which only made him laugh even more. The girls that were surrounding Malfoy were glaring at me and whispering amongst themselves.
"Stay" Malfoy suggested.
"No thanks, ask one of them" I said pointing to his fan club of girls who I'm pretty sure were plotting my murder. I removed Malfoy's arms that were wrapped around my waist and got up from his lap.
Malfoy stayed smirking at me only because he was getting the best view of my rear end which I soon realized to I tried to go back to find Neville.
Before I could walk away to drag Neville all the way back here I was met with a smack to the face. Who in there fucking mind would slap me?
Pansy fucking Parkinson.
"You slut" she yelled trying to hit me again, but I ducked. Everyone was now staring and the music was drowned out by Pansy's high pitched screams.
"What the fuck Parkinson" I said holding my cheek.
"Your sitting on my boyfriends lap" she said swinging at me again.
"I literally fell" I said dodging another one of her terrible swings. This girl needs to learn how to fight.
"Yeah sure you 'fell' on his lap. I knew you were trying to steal my boyfriend. Your such a whore" she yelled pushing me so I stumbled back a little.
"Pansy calm down" I said trying to reason with the girl, but I honestly should have known that there was no point in trying to.
"No I had enough listening to you and telling you to trust me, but your trying to steal my Drakey" she accused as everyone's eyes were on us. Even Ginny, Neville, Luna, Athena, and even the trio of Slytherin.
"I highly doubt Malfoy is yours" I said stupidly because it made her even more angry than she already was, if that's possible.
Pansy took another swing at me and I dodged it yet again. "Fight back bitch" she yelled at me hitting me once more.
"Pansy I'm not fighting you" I said shaking my head. "Malfoy is not worth a fight and I said you could have him."
Everyone turned to Malfoy who was indifferent and intensely watching this exchange between Pansy and I.
"Fight me you coward" she yelled pushing my again.
I rolled my eyes at her, "Parkinson look, you can have him. I really don't want him like you think I do" I assured her. I put my hands on her shoulders to halt all her movements.
I think she took this as a sign to initiate a fight because she punched me in the face. It was a weak punch because Pansy wasn't very strong, but a punch none the less.
"Okay" I yelled. "I tried to be civil with you and nice, but clearly it's not going to work."
She threw herself at me and knocked me to the ground trying to scratch, punch, and bite me. She was not very strong so I flipped her over and pinned her arms to the floor. She continued to fight my grip and continuously flailed her arms.
"Merlins beard, calm the fuck down" I yelled. I looked at the crowd surrounding us, "Anyone want to help" I yelled at them causing Blaise and Theo to help me pin her down, allowing me to let ago as they carried her to her room.
"Okay nothing to see here" yelled Malfoy. "Parties over" he waved his hand so non-Slytherins could leave.
"You should have just hit her back" Ginny said approaching me with Athena, Neville, and Luna. "I second that" Athena agreed.
"I should've but I'm not going to fight her over a git like Malfoy" I rolled my eyes. I was rolling my eyes a lot tonight.
"So I'm a git" Malfoy said behind me.
"Yes very much" I turned to him. "Your really not worth a fight either. Come on let's go" I said to them so we could all leave this party.
I walked out of the common room. My first party and someone tries to fight me. Some experience this is.
And this is why I do not go to parties. And why I don't dress up.
