Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I still don't own Harry Potter

Previously:

The bell rang and the girls go up in silence. Perhaps things would turn out okay, Skye thought bracingly as she swung her bag over her shoulder. Perhaps the Hogsmeade weekend would be all bad.

How wrong she was.

The day started off like crap and things just went downhill from there. Iris was unable to dress herself for her date with Daniel, Rhia was freaking out because she wasn't sure where to go with Xavier, Hermione was stressing as she had started to feel bad about leading Ernie on, and Skye's hair just wouldn't cooperate.

"SHIT!" Skye screamed. "I hate this day already!"

Parvati came out of the bathroom with Lavender and eyed her roommate.

"Would you keep it down?" she asked patronisingly. "Some of us have dates today."

"Oh I'm sorry," Skye said sarcastically. "I'll just leave now, shall I?"

"Thanks darling," Parvati said. "Leave quickly will you?"

"Argh!" Skye yelled, storming out of the dormitory.

She headed out the Portrait Hole and made her way down to the Entrance Hall. A large group had gathered, all wanting to head out to Hogsmeade. Skye looked around for Draco, but was unable to spot him. Getting more annoyed by the second, she headed over to a waving Rhia.

"Good morning Skye," Rhia said, beaming.

Skye rolled her eyes. "If you could call it a good morning," she said.

"Bad start?" Rhia asked sympathetically.

"Yeah," Skye nodded, wondering if Rhia had already forgotten that she had come to Skye that morning in a complete frenzy.

Looking around, Skye noticed for the first time the boy standing behind Rhia.

"Hi," Skye said. "You must be Xavier."

"Yeah, I am," the guy nodded. "You must be the all famous Skye Potter."

"That's me," Skye grinned.

She noticed that Rhia seemed impatient to be alone with Xavier, so Skye decided to take her leave.

"Look, I've just seen Draco," Skye lied. "I'll see you guys later."

"Kay," Xavier said. "See you around."

"Thanks Skye," Rhia whispered, hugging her friend. "Come say hi if we run into each other, okay?"

"Sure," Skye said, knowing that she wouldn't interrupt their date for anything. "Bye."

Skye wandered away, looking for a friendly face. Skye was mostly looking for her boyfriend, and much to her disappointment was unable to find him. This did nothing to improve her bad mood. She finally managed to find Ri, and so headed over to him.

"Hey Ri," she sighed, hugging him.

"Hey, what's up Skye?" Ri asked, tilting her head up to his own so he could look her in the eye.

"Shitty day," Skye said. "But what's new?"

"I'm sure it'll get better," Ri said bracingly.

"Let's hope," Skye said.

Skye began to walk down to Hogsmeade with Ri and his friends, but soon Angela came up to them. Despite Ri's protests, Skye left the group. She spent the remainder of the day wandering around aimlessly. All her friends were on dates, she couldn't find Draco and hanging around with Jono would just look sad.

By the time Skye decided to visit the Three Broomsticks, she was severely pissed off. She noticed Hermione looking uncomfortable with Ernie and so, getting herself a Butterbeer, went over to join them.

"Hi guys," she said, trying to sound happy.

"Skye!" Hermione exclaimed, sounding thoroughly relieved.

"Hi Skye," Ernie said, inclining his head.

"Good day?" Skye asked, sitting down.

"Sure," Hermione said, unconvincingly. "Where's Draco?"

Skye shrugged. "Oh you know," she said airily. "He's around."

There was an awkward silence which nobody seemed willing to break.

"Oh look," Skye said, fake cheerfully. "There's Harry!"

She called out to him, despite Hermione's desperate protests. Harry wandered over to the group, Parvati trailing behind him. Skye raised an eyebrow at her twin, smirking at the look of utter annoyance on his face. It was obvious that his day with Parvati wasn't all that amazing.

Noticing Hermione sitting with Ernie, however, Harry's face darkened. The instant they sat down, Harry pulled Parvati into his lap. She let out a surprised, but pleased, squeak and settled back into his chest.

Seeing this, Hermione leaned casually back into Ernie, who did not at all mind their new position. Hermione sent Harry a pleased smirk of her own as Skye rolled her eyes. The sooner the pair admitted their feelings for each other, the better off everyone would be.

"I'm going to get another Butterbeer," Skye muttered, standing up.

"I'll come too," Ernie said. "'Mione and I could do with another."

Skye raised an eyebrow at the use of the nickname but allowed Ernie to go with her. By the time they got back, Harry and Parvati were making out heavily and Hermione was glowering at the pair.

Skye made a vomiting sound as her crappy day just got worse. The last thing she needed was Parvati to actually think Harry was interested. Sure, he might be, but it was most probable that he wasn't.

"I'm going to head back to the castle," Skye said. "I'll see you later Hermione."

She was heading back to the castle when she bumped into Teddy and his friends.

"Hey," Teddy said.

"Heya Teddy," Skye said wearily.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"Just back to the castle," Skye shrugged. "I'm so over this day."

"Where's your boyfriend?" Teddy asked, grimacing on the last word.

Again, Skye shrugged. "Who knows?"

"Well, we can't have a pretty girl like you wandering around by herself," one of Teddy's friends spoke up.

Skye looked over at him and raised an eyebrow.

"I can take care of myself," she said. "I'm only going back to the castle."

"Not by yourself you aren't," Teddy cut in.

"Teddy," Skye began.

"Skye," Teddy said, warningly. "Orion would kill me if I let you go by yourself."

"What Orion doesn't know can't hurt him," Skye shot back.

"He's got a point," Teddy's friend spoke again. "I'll walk back with you."

"I'm fine," Skye said bluntly.

"Come on," the guy coaxed. "I don't bite."

"Why don't you just fuck off?" Skye asked, getting fed up with the entire situation.

What was it with people having to protect her all the time? She could look after herself!

"I'd rather fuck you if you're offering..." the guy began, but Teddy hit him over the head rather violently.

"That's my little cousin you're talking to," Teddy reminded him dangerously. "So back off."

"Hey," the guy raised his hands in mock surrender. "I was only kidding around."

"Well don't," Teddy snarled. "You don't mess around with my family."

"Oh chill, Teddy-bear," Skye grinned half-heartedly. "It's not like my day could get any worse. I'm just going to head back to the castle; I'll be fine by myself."

"I think not," Teddy raised an eyebrow.

"Screw this," Skye muttered.

She was getting really annoyed. All Skye wanted to do was go back to the castle so she could wallow in self-pity, and Teddy had to stand in her way! She drew her wand and aimed it at Teddy who took a small step back cautiously. He knew the damage Skye could cause with her wand.

"You're going to get out of my fucking way," Skye said, lowering her voice dangerously. "Or I'm going to curse you into next week. What'll it be?"

There was a pause.

"Ri is going to kill me," Teddy muttered finally, stepping out of the way.

"Thank you," Skye said, putting her wand away. "I'll see you later."

Once Skye had reached the castle, she headed down to the Dungeons to give Draco a piece of her mind. She was halfway there when she noticed Draco walking with Theodore. The pair was laughing and were blissfully unaware of the fuming redhead.

Oh yes, Skye thought manically. This was going to be fun.

A/N Aww...poor Skye. Life can suck sometimes can't it? Especially when you don't get reviews. In case you didn't catch that, it was my way of pathetically begging for reviews. Please review?
