Maggie's POV

"Why is Amelia so 'bleh' all the sudden?" Jack asked making a weird gesture with his hands.

"I don't know."

"Oh come on, you know everything about her."

"Maybe, but some things are better left unsaid."

"Magdolyn."

He called me by my full name when he was serious. Sometimes aroused...?

"Come oooon, I'm her brother."

"And you don't need to know everything about her personal life. She isn't all up in your business."

"Does it have anything to do with Malfoy?"

"...No."

He didn't notice my hesitation and looked away in thought.

"Cause he's been acting weird too. He's distanced himself from his usual goons. I hardly see him anywhere but the common room."

"He's a weird kid, you're probably reading too much into it."

He looked at me and smirked mischievously. 

"What..?"

Then his arms wrapped around my waist and he attacked me with kisses.

"Ah! Jack stop!" 

He stopped and looked at my face.

"You're really not gonna tell me what's going on?"

"Nope."

He continued with the kiss attack and started tickling me.

"Could you guys make me feel any lonelier?" Amelia sighed letting her bag roll off her shoulder. 

She plopped herself down on the cold grass and held onto her knees. She was hurting. I felt guilty. 

"Mils..." I sat down next to her.

She smiled fakely at me but mostly at Jack.

"How was your day?" She asked me.

"Woah, what's with the superficial chit chat?" 

"I just asked how your day was..."

"Yeah but we always rant to each other about our day before bed." 

She shrugged. "Right."

Jack eyed me suspiciously and I quickly nudged Amelia.

"I'm sorry you're down about quidditch being canceled this term." I lied.

She looked at me with a strange look but eventually got the memo.

"Uh yeah, I'm pretty sad about... that."

Jack sat down beside us and laid on his back. 

"I'm soooo ready to graduate." he said.

"Dingwad," Amelia replied. "You love this place."

"Yeah yeah but-" He looked over at something and I followed his gaze to Malfoy. 

Malfoy was pacing back and forth beside a tree. Jack sat up and glanced at Amelia.

Amelia looked up and got up. What was she doing?

Malfoy started to walk away from the tree and Amelia grabbed her bag.

"I need to um, check on some plants." She said hurriedly and headed off.

"Wait, Millie." Jack said about to get up.
