Tybalt's POV
I stood with my back against the door, breathing heavily. I could not believe what I had just seen. It had to be a mistake. Maybe I was hallucinating. Or it was someone else? But there was no mistaking that curly red hair…
I took a deep breath. This could actually be a good thing. It had been a while I had caused a scandal. It was already November and I hadn't done anything significant. People were starting to think I was losing my touch. It was time to get back in the game.
I ran back to the Slytherin common room, eager to find my best friend, Benedick. Seeing him lounging on the sofa lazily, I throw myself down into the chair across from him, excited to tell him what I saw.
"Ben! You will not believe what I just discovered!" I yelled.
"Calm down man. You nearly made me jump out of my skin." Benedick replied.
I smirk and say, "You won't be calm once you hear what I have to say"
"Well tell me instead of taunting me!" Benedick exclaimed.
"Ok, ok! You know how I have Herbology before Potions? Well, as I was just walking into the dungeon when I realized that I had left my quill in the classroom. So, like any normal person would, I made my way back to the classroom. And that's when I saw them. Together!"
"You saw who?" Benedick asked me impatiently.
"Cleo and Professor Longbottom!" I shout
"Excuse me?!"
"Cleo and Longbottom were making out in the classroom!"
"Are you f***ing kidding me?"
"Why would I joke about something so scandalous" I ask him. Why would he question me? We're best friends! I know what I'm saying sounds crazy, but why would I lie?
"What are we gonna do about it? Do we talk to her? She's our best friend!" Benedick asks me, worried.
"I don't think think we should say anything. We don't want to make it awkward. She would kill me if I said anything."
"I guess you're right. Anyway, did anything else remotely exciting happen in Herbology? I know how much you hate plants." Benedick questions me innocently.
I smirk, and tell him confidently "Yeah actually. I asked Lady out"
"About time you finally grow a pair!" Benedick exclaims mockingly.
"Oh shut up!"
"When are you guys meeting up?" he asks me.
"After lunch tomorrow at the astronomy tower"
He winks at me, "how romantic. You thinking of making a move on her?"
"Obviously. She's the hottest girl in our year."
BenedIck laughs, continuing on "You're nuts Tybalt. Anyway, I better head out. I've got detention again. Silly Desdemona just can't seem to take a joke."
"Shut up, you know you love it. You just can't keep your eyes off of Mona"
Benedick stands up, making his way out of the common room. I gather my stuff and start walking down to my room. I needed to plan what I my meeting tomorrow. I had to be ready for my "hang out" with Lady. She was the hottest girl I'd ever laid eyes on, and I was going to make her mine.
