I hurry down the stairs grabbing my luggage and throwing it in the car. "Gweneth Hope Lupin-Black! I know you're in a hurry to leave me but you could at least act like you don't want to leave!" mum pouts her brown hair in a messy bun and her green eyes wide and bloodshot. I slam the trunk shut and roll my eyes.
"My sincerest pardons Esme. You know as well as I do that, I can't stand being in the same house with you. You won't even tell me anything about dad. You keep talking about your brother who I've never even met before. Not to mention the fact that we both know as soon as I leave, you're going to get drunk off your ass until gran comes and reams you out for all the neighbors and everybody to see. Now if you don't mind, I WANT to go to school so please get your ASS in the car right NOW." I growl.
She pouts but gets in the car. I huff and slam the front door of the house shut before climbing in the backseat of the car. "Sit up here in the front with me!" mum complains. "Hell no! Just drive you drunkard." I order. She floors it whining and complaining the entire way. I jump out and put my things on a trolley and book it. I've already put my things away by the time she makes it through the barrier. I walk the train not daring to go back outside onto the platform.
"Oh, there she is! There's Gweneth!" I hear Esme shout. I roll my eyes when I see her pointing at me while tapping some strange man's arm. I flip her off with both fingers and storm off. I wind up in an empty compartment and fling myself onto the seat. Luna skips in with Ginny and Collin and wave lazily at them. "I saw your mum." Luna whispers.
"Who hasn't seen the drunk bitch?" I scoff. Collin moves my feet and sits down placing my feet on his lap. "What happened today that made you so mad?" he wonders. "She tried to sell the one heirloom my father left for me. What a bitch!" I growl. "Take a nap Gwen." Collin scoffs chucking his robe on top of me. I tsk but cuddle up under his robe.
I wake feeling chilled to the bone. I open my eyes and find a dementor has decided to swoop in. I brandish my wand and a very large deerhound springs out and chases the dementor away. I pull chocolate from my bag and give everyone a giant chunk.
The strange man from the platform watches me at dinner occasionally whispering to Snape. I roll my eyes and groan. "What's wrong?" Gin whispers. "I do believe I'm in trouble." I sigh. "Why?" Gin giggles. "That new professor and Snape keep looking at me. If it wasn't the first night back, I'd flip them off." I growl. Hermione smacks the back of my head. "Behave yourself." she mumbles.
I glance at my schedule before stuffing it in my bag. I was just barely able to get up in time for breakfast. "Your last name is also Lupin." I hear someone say. "Yeah. And? What's it to you?!" I scoff turning around. The new professor is standing there with a smile. "You're that bum looking man who was talking Esme. Aww! Did you want to recruit her services? Oral? Bondage? I don't do those if you're one of those nasty ass buggers who just so happens to be into those kinds of things. If you just so happen to be some on the side bounty hunter Esme will pay you guys back as soon as she gets her next customer to open her legs to. Now if you don't mind, please leave. In fact, I'd kindly appreciate it if you never talk to me again." I grab a piece of toast and leave.
Collin runs after me looking thoroughly worried. "Gwen that was a professor!" he scolds. "So, I heard the past few defense teachers have been hella shady. Why are you scolding me?" I round on him and start poking his chest. He grabs my hands and smiles. "Gwen? That was a bit much. As your friend I'm just looking out for you, I promise." he murmurs.
I relax and look at the ground. "Now, go apologize." he orders. "But I don't want to." I pout up at him. "Gweneth." he frowns a note of warning in his tone. Not even puppy dog eyes work. I place my hands on his shoulders and pull him into a hug. "You're not going to apologize, are you?" he sighs. "Come on, let's go to class." I smile and loop my arm and his.
Laughing we head to defense against the dark arts after a hilarious potions class where a Slytherin accidentally melted Snape's robes making it patchy. I pull up short of the door and Colin smirks. "You should've apologized earlier." he smirks. I run and jump wrapping my arm around his neck. I noogie him and he lightly smack my arm. Ginny shakes her head at us as we continue to goof off.
