2 Days later:

Marinette POV:

I walked over to the Gryffindor table ignoring the constant yells of "Get out of here dirty snake!", "I didn't know that we had an open door policy for losers", "You don't belong here, get out!", and much much more. I saw Alya peek down the table to see what caused all the commotion, I waved shyly as I walked over quickly to her desperately trying to forget about all the awful names they called me, even though they stuck in my head and kept me up at night.

"Yo gurl! What's up with you?" Alya smiled at me knowing something was up.

"Nothing I'm cool, how are you doing?" I forced a smile, Alya knew right away what had happened because we could still here the people at the end of the table yelling insults at me.

"Hey!" She marched over to the end of the table where the older Gryffindors were still mocking me. "What gives you the right to pick on my friend?"

"Well, hon, your a first year and you don't yet understand that Slytherins are e-"

"I dare you to finish that sentence." She pounded her fist in front of his cereal, "Go ahead, I know for a fact that even though she's a Slytherin she's the sweetest kindest person here. And maybe you have met your fair share of Slytherins just as stuck up as you. But we're both new here! We're friends because of her personality, not the colors on her robes! So think about that next time you want to make fun of people, or judge people when you don't know their story." She pat him hard on the back, and turned back to me.

"Alya!" I said in a whisper scream.

"What?!" She responded equally as quiet.

"Thank you!" I ran over to give her a bear hug.

"Anytime gurl, anytime." We stood like that for a while, I could here the murmurs going around. But I didn't care, she defended me! We separated smiling at eachother.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" I pulled a pink folded piece of paper and gave it to her and walked off smiling. I could hear her unwrapping it when it rang out through the hall.

"ADRIEN!"

Adrien's POV:

My family's owl dropped in front of me with a red envelope in it's beak. Oh no. That's all I could do, was think, oh no, there's nothing to hide the embarrassment, oh no! I was just gonna have to deal with it like a man. The bird waddled over to my plate eating my discarded left over toast, unknowing of what it had just brought me. Nino looked over to me smiling.

"So, got anything go- oh crap." His smile turned into a frightened look as he stared at the envolpe in between my hands. "You- you are so screwed."

"Yup." I sucked in a breath as I tore open the paper.

"ADRIEN!" My father's voice rang out throughout the hall. I tried to hide my face as my father lectured me on not being perfect. A wonderful thing to be remembered for, daddy issues. All through the day I got sympathetic looks from lots of students as well as "wait, your the kid with the dad problems." I replied with an exhausted sigh or grumble.

When all the classes of the day were done Nino and I went to the twisty tree by the lake it was our meeting place, the girls would meet us there and we would all talk about how our lives were going. This tree looked very old yet it was probably only about 10 feet high, with a makeshift swing on one of the branches, it held ok but only one person could go at a time.

"Hey boys!" Alya came over and scruffed up Nino's hair and did the same to me.

" So, Adrien, was that you in the Great Hall this morning?" Melancholy, I nodded.

"Dang, you always said your dad was up tight but... wow." She marveled. I looked to the ground embarrassed, while Alya picked up a conversation with Nino.

" Sorry about your dad." Marinette stirred clutching her book bag tightly.

"Meh, I'm used to it, but I have to say for a time when he actually pays attention to me I would've wanted the whole school to not be present." I sadly chuckled and forced a smile. "I want to forget about that though, so how was your day?"

"It was ok."

"You sure?" I press seeing her tense demeanor and half smile fading even more with each passing second.

"Well, it's nothing you should worry about." I looked at her, concerned. "Really, it's taken care of, it's all good."

"Ok, but seriously, if you need a friend to talk to you about feelings and all that, I'm here for you!"

"Thanks!" She genuinely smiled at me. I paused a second before I lunged for her with a bear hug. She paused for a moment thinking about weather or not to return the hug, then she grasped on to the back of my robes squeezing me tightly with her bodies warmth. "Thanks again," she said eyeing the ground, "I really needed that." She laughed softly.

"It was my pleasure." I smiled softly at her furiously blushing face.
