NEW GIRL
A Harry Potter FanFiction
Chapter Twelve
I awoke to a dull murmur. I could not bring myself to open my eyes.
"I can't just wake her. Isn't that rude?" the first voice whispered.
"It's almost 3!" hissed the other.
"What does that matter?"
"Well, for one thing, people will get suspicious…"
Another voice butted in, a female voice.
"Draco, don't be a butt head."
Ahhhh… So Theo, Draco and Monique must be arguing over me. Great. I opened my eyes slightly. It took a minute to adjust to the darkened room. Thankfully, the curtains where closed on my bed. Except they were green. Duh, Mong. So, this must be Theo's bed. That explained the hushed spat between Draco and Theo. If I remembered correctly, they shared a dorm. Wonder what he does when Monique stays over. I tried to sit up, but it hurt my head too much. I groaned and lay back down.
"Shhhhh!" Monique whispered. "Now you've woken her. Nice one."
The curtains opened slightly and Monique's face greeted me.
"Hey babes." She said softly. "How you feeling?"
"Blurk." I replied.
"Well babes, you're gunna have to get up at some point. Otherwise it's gunna be to hard to leave."
"Oh." I hadn't thought of that. It was so nice here though. I tried to get up, wincing slightly. As I sat up, I noticed my clothes had been removed. I gasped slightly, covering myself.
"It's ok Mong; I have seen your underwear before!" Monique laughed.
"Woman, what the hell are you doing?" Draco asked.
"Never you mind." Monique snapped. "I'll get your clothes, hang on." She shut the curtain behind her. A couple of seconds later her hand emerged holding my clothes and shoes from last night. Theo must have undressed me before putting me to bed. I quickly got dressed and came into view of Monique, Draco and Theo. I smiled shyly. My head still hurt. Monique then grabbed my hand. She kissed Draco and Theo goodbye and looked expectantly at me, so I followed suite and we left, heading towards the Great Hall.
"But I don't want food. I'll puke." I groaned, as we got closer.
"I doubt that."
"I will!"
We entered and sat down at our usual spot along the table. Students were scattered around the room. One of the first things Monique had informed me of when I arrived at Hogwarts was that there is breakfast available all day on a Sunday. As the smell hit me, I realised that I was hungry. Greedily I grabbed three pieces of toast at once and began to butter them. Monique poured me a goblet of orange juice. I wasn't a fan of pumpkin.
"Sooo?" She asked.
"Sooo what?" I replied.
"What happened last night?" She questioned brightly.
"Oh. Well. You were there. You know what happened."
"I meant after we left."
"Ahhhh, there's not much to tell. Theo carried me up to the castle and then I woke up and saw your face."
"I know all that!" Monique sighed impatiently.
"Then why ask?"
"Because! Surely something else happened?"
My face blanched.
"Oh God. I didn't have sex did I? Surely I was too drunk for that!"
Monique looked at me as if I was retarded.
"No stupid. Draco said that Theo said something."
"Well of course he said something. It would be awkward if I sat on his lap all night and he didn't say anything."
Monique made an exasperated sound.
"So he said nothing of importance?"
"Nothing I remember." I replied. Monique raised her eyebrows. "What? I don't remember a lot of last night."
"You really don't remember?"
"Obviously not." I was starting to get angry, and being angry hurt my head. I took a sip of juice.
"Draco said that Theo said that he likes you."
I spat the juice back out.
"What?"
"I know!"
I felt instantly sick to my stomach. All of a sudden, it all came back to me. He had said he liked me and that he wanted to lie next to me and then I had spewed. Oh God, I'd spewed.
"So what did you say back?"
"Nothing. I threw up."
"Oh. Well that's not the best response."
I groaned.
"Can we just go back to the common room?"
"Anything you want dearest."
After showering, I came back down to the common room. Monique was sitting on the floor in front of the fire, her back resting against the couch, a book in her hand. I sat down next to her on the couch, shutting my eyes. It was bliss. Of course, this momentary sensation was rudely interrupted as Harry, Ron and Hermione came over to join us.
"Where were you last night?" Hermione asked snippily, sitting down in the armchair next to me. I kept my eyes shut tight, hoping that she would just go away. The last thing my head needed was her shrill voice. Monique responded quickly enough.
"We pulled an all nighter in the library."
"I didn't see you there." Hermione replied stiffly.
"You can't possibly see everyone in the library Hermione." Monique sighed.
As they continued with their pointless argument, Harry plopped down next to me, putting his arm around me. Great. Like I really needed that. I opened my eyes. No use hiding now. Ron had sat next to Monique and was throwing bits of parchment into the fire.
"Ok, ok, you got me. I spent the night with Draco. Only Mong was in the library."
I felt Harry stiffen (not the good type) next to me. It must sting a little to hear that, considering they'd only made up yesterday morning. Hermione had a smug look on her face.
"I thought so."
Monique rolled her eyes.
"So, you, you and Draco have sex then?" Ron asked, looking quite horrified.
Harry became tenser as he waited for the reply.
"If you must know, yes." Monique said rather matter of fact.
"Blimey, must be awful having his bony body on top of you."
"Ronald!" Hermione scolded. Monique began to laugh. As they continued their conversation about Draco's body, Harry turned his attention to me.
"Feels like I haven't talked to you in ages."
"Likewise." I replied, smiling.
"So what have you been up to?"
"Oh, you know this and that. Nothing really."
"So," Harry faltered slightly, "So are you still single?"
I felt like saying, "Yes I am, but I really like Theo, he is a God." Instead, I just went with "Yes I am."
"D-do you want to do something with me next week?" His face looked down at mine, so full of hope.
"Um, yeah sure, why not?" I said with as much happiness as I could muster. What could I do? I couldn't say no.
"Cool. So yeah. We'll go to Hogsmeade."
"Sounds great."
And with that, I now had a date with Harry looming over my head. Just wonderful.
