"So let me get this straight." I groaned, "We've gone over this five times!" I cried, "Just one more." Trixie said, my best friend, before she could continue, Cole sat next to her, our third, last and only male in the group, "Homework again?" "I wish." I mumbled, I always helped the guys with their homework, Trix was one who almost never got it.
"Then what could you have possibly gone over five times?" Cole asked, "Jordan here tutored a certain Slytherin last night." Trix said ammused, I groaned, "Not Malfoy!" Cole cried, "And you didn't kill him!?" "Thats what I said!" Trix cried, I sighed and glanced around, making sure no one was listening to our conversation, this was getting on my nerves.
"Look." I said, "I'm getting extra credit for this tutoring, which I need if I have even a hope of passing the N.E.W.T's, I set him straight and we did our potions, I then packed up and left, end of story, now can we please eat breakfast before class starts?" they staired at me like I had two heads, I sighed and started picking at some toast.
"Subject change please." I mumbled, "I'm now passing Charms, thanks to our little genius over here." Cole smirked, I rolled my eyes, "And I'm not failing potions as bad." I snorted, Trix never stressed out over school, no matter how bad she was doing, "Your turn." she smiled, "Say something nice back to us." I snorted again, "Doesn't that defeat the purpose?" I asked, "Doesn't matter." Cole said, "Go." I sighed, "Fine, Trix, my hair has been amazingly soft and fun to play with since you gave me that new shampoo to try." I said, she smiled, Trix was nothing if not into fashion, she knew everything about anything involving what made you better looking, "And Cole, without you pulling an all nighter with me last week, I wouldn't have aced that Care of Magical Creatures test last week." he chuckled, "Aced, you hear that." he nugged Trix who knodded, "Will you guys bugger off?" I said, "I ace classes and tests, thats who I am." "Oh chill." Trix smirked, "You know we're just pickin'."
People around us started to leave for first class, we packed up and followed suit, "Hey, I have this Astronomy project due next week, can you help me with it tonight?" Cole asked as we climbed up the stairs, "I can't tonight." I said, "I have tutoring." "Like Malfoy will even show up." Trix mumbled, "Extra. Credit." I said slowly, she just shook her head and nugged me, "You're such a geek." she said, we were almost to charms when someone rudely crashed into Cole, knocking his books from his hands.
"Watch where you're going Gryffindork." Draco Malfoy and his goons, I glared, Trix and Cole knelt down to gather Cole's things, "Why don't you just fuck the hell off." I growled, "You got a big mouth on you Carter." Malfoy smirked back, seemingly not fased by my anger, "I bet I can think of a better use for it." "And we're back!" Cole cried standing up, he knew where sex jokes sent me further into anger.
"Forget about it, it was nothing." Cole said to me quickly, Trix but a hand on my arm, "Come on, we'll be late." "No." I said jerking away from them both, "You better be careful what you say, Malfoy." I growled, "Because this big mouth knows a lot of secrets." he scoffed, "Who says I have secrets?" he smirked, "Just remember." I said, "All anyone has is their reputation, their apperance." he was more focused on me now, "And one good secret can ruin everything." he glared.
I had been bluffing, for all I knew, Draco had told everyone I had been tutoring him, luckly for me however, he hadn't, "What're you talk-" Pansy started to snap at me with her screechy voise but Draco stop her, "Enough." he cut her off, "But Drac-" "I said enough." he glared sideways at her, "They're just wasting our time now, come on." he gave me a final look before they all walked away.
I silently knelt down and helped Cole pick up his books, "You okay?" he asked kneeling next to me, I knodded, "Yeah, I was just lucky he didn't tell anyone I was tutoring him." I mumbled standing, "Well you did good to shut him up." Trix said, "Next time though, just deck 'em." I smirked, "Life is one big party for you, isn't it?" I asked, "Pretty much." she smirked, "Now come on, we're gonna be late." we grabed our stuff and rushed to charms, there was no point in having good grades if we showed up late.
