"I cut my hand-"
"No you didn't-
"I did! Look! My skin is split!"
"Split skin isn't a cut, is it?"
"It fucking is" sighing slightly I laughed quietly as Pansy and Daphne continued to bicker while we left the common room, a few people behind us as we rounded a corner and I stopped as they did too and I stared
"Well fuck me" I mumbled as I looked at the banner spread across the wall, with the word 'Freak' scrawled in capital letters as a smirk started forming and I turned my head around
"Pucey, Bletchley! Give us a hand, will you?" I asked as they walked over and I led them to the wall before turning between them
"Drop your bags. I need a lift up"
"A lift?"
"Yes- don't try and put your hands on me. Just do this, okay?" I asked as I showed them a basic hand grip as they looked confused before mimicking me as I stood on their hands and started untying it, wobbling slightly.
"You could've said this is what you meant-"
"Never mind meanings- are you stable enough?"
"As long as you two don't move too much, I should be find-"
"Better?" Feeling a hand on my back I paused slightly, looking down to the two who were still keeping me steady as they were looking behind me with an unimpressed and disgruntled look as I turned my head slightly, looking at Theodore who was standing with a grin as I turned back, hiding my red face with a nod
"Thank you" untying the last knot it fell down, the other half still attached at the wall as I stepped down unsteadily, grinning at the three before grabbing the banner and yanking it down as it came down off the wall
"There we go"
"So why do you want that?"
"Because I want to wear it. Pride is one of our house characteristics, yes?" I asked as I shook it slightly before shoving my bag at Miles as I wrapped it around my shoulders before taking my bag back with a grin and looking to the others as I started to walk
"Let's go"
"I can't wait for the Ravenclaws to see-"
"I can't wait for Brown and Weasley to see" I told Pansy and Daphne laughing as I turned my head, stopping as Theodore caught up, looking at me with a grin as we walked down towards the great hall
"You're mental-"
"No, I've got guts. There's a difference-
"Is there?"
"Probably not, no" I told him laughing as we walked into the hall and I offered a spin, whispers flying around as Pansy and Daphne started laughing and I turned to the rest of the hall, flicking them the middle finger
"Going to have to try harder than that cunts" I said to them as I walked down the table, sitting down with a grin as I slipped my robe off and draped it across my legs, looking to the teachers table and to Lupin who nodded to me ever so slightly, a smile on his face as I raised my goblet, going to take a drink but realising there wasn't anything in it as a high laugh came from beside me
