"I can't believe you got into a fight with him... That was just so awesome, did u beat this shit outta him too?" an eager voice asked quickly from beside him, he wasn't in the mood. He just had Madam Pomfrey lecturing him about how bad it was to get into a fight and next time she would report him to professor Snape. Joseph was by no means unpopular, instead he was one of the most well liked boys in his grade, this was the problem. Why the Slytherin's hated him, while they thought he was hot they hated him because Gryffindor 'Mud bloods' liked him and he liked them as well. "Shutup Herms I don't want to talk about it." Herms was his best friend, He was in the same grade and did exactly the same subjects as Joe. "Aww come on please," he stepped in front of Joe blocking his way so that he had to tell him, Herms was a real Jock as they called them, he loved the gym and for this you could tell. Although he was basically an alcoholic he was a great sportsman. He was one of the strongest guys in the school, he was quite tall, with short black hair, his green eyes sometimes shone with excitement, at the moment, they most defiantly did. "Fine he's got a nose bleed and has a busted lip okay?" he said impatiently. Sick to death of his nagging. "Okay okay man I getcha." They walked along in silence for a while until they got to the great hall, he looked over at the Slytherin table, his sister was sitting there, crowded around by her best friends and Marcus. He sighed knowing he wasn't welcome for at least the rest of today. "Ahh I see what's up" Herms said, "well ya betta try make up with ya sister."
Joseph sat down on the table a few seats down, ignoring everyone around him until Marcus moved down the table and laughed quietly. "Aww ya see, your sister loves me more then she loves her little brother." He laughed, Joseph stood up, and looked at his sister who was completely ignoring him. Gritting his teeth he walked past her out of great hall and towards the common room, as he past he said "when your ready to know me I'll be in the common room" he left the common room and headed towards the Slytherin common room, when he was completely out of earshot of the great hall he let out the loudest scream in the world. Kicking the wall as hard as he could, he wanted to kill Marcus, he hated him with a passion. He continued down to the common room, on the verge of tears. The tiredness was making him incredibly emotional. He sat in the closest armchair to the fire and watched it burn slowly. Hours seemed to go by, until finally he heard the door open and someone moving closer and closer slowly. "Why must you two fight?" a soft voice asked as a hand rested gently on his shoulder. His eyes were red from tiredness and being so upset so he hid them in his hands and sighed, "You do not understand what he has done to me. You think he's some kind of angel yet everyone else knows he's not and will never be." He said quietly.
"Oh pull yourself together, he is MY boyfriend, is that hard for you to comprehend? MY boyfriend, you are my BROTHER, get the fuck over it and stop acting like a spoilt little brat." She said, her voice shaking. He knew she was trying hard not to be angry with him and he couldn't care whether she was or not, he was sick of this shit! "Look Beth, I love you, I love you more then he ever will but you treat him like he's a god and I should kiss his ass, I wont do that." He said quietly. "Then don't talk to him, if I see you two fighting one more time I swear I will never talk to either of you again. I will also tell mum about your crush, on a half vampire" she replied angrily "fine" he sighed. "Now, if you don't mind, Joseph my dear brother, NEVER use me as a reason to fight with people, if you do I swear you will not have a life worth living." She added then smiled. "Now I'm off to see my boyfriend, another word about this rubbish and you know the consequences."
