"All students are to be in the great hall tonight for a special announcement. I repeat 'All students are to be in the great hall tonight for a special announcement'" The voice of Albus Dumbledore was running through the walls of Hogwarts from the small loudspeakers that were at every corner.
"-Minerva- How do i tur- Oh- neve-"
A few snickers and horrified looks were exchanged through the halls, although Draco seemed to have the biggest smile on his face since- well maybe since Harry Potter got his face slapped by Professor Umbridge
He wasn't happy about the old wise voice that was ringing across the halls. No- it was more about the encounter he'd just had
Who wouldn't be excited about meeting a mermaid?
His plan was to go up to his dorm and change his clothes, as he was still in a black suit and black coat. Luckily, they were both dark enough to distract eyes from lingering on the mud that dotted his clothing
"Mate!" He heard familiar voices call out his name, which he chose to ignore
"Oi! Mate!" The smile seemed to fade like fogged up the glass when the force of a certain someone's hand turned him at the heel.
"What Xeno? I'm a bit busy" Both Blaise and Xeno were standing next to each other, closely studying his ripped clothing and dirty hair
"Where have you been?" Blaise asked, looking him up and down
"What happened to your- everything?" Xeno blurted at the same time
Draco seemed to be stunned and almost speechless, searching the books in his head for a good enough excuse
"I- um"A stutter strangled him
"You?" Xeno asked, a playful grin tugging at him
"Well- I fell asleep at the-"
Before Draco could finish his road that led nowhere, Xeno practically lunged at him, making Draco push Xeno away.
"Hey! Watch it!" Xeno turned to see Betty Kareem, a tall Ravenclaw that he'd been tangled with ever since their first year at Hogwarts.
"-Oh, pardon me Betty, I thought you were someone else" He smiled, a red tint covering the tip of his nose and ears
"It's Kareem to you, Lovegood" She spat back with cold narrow eyes, walking away from the crowd of three- that soon turned into two as he went to follow her, playing a game of cat and mouse
Draco and Blaise could hear as he continued to throw arrows of flirtatious comments, whilst her glass stained dartboard would move the last second, missing his darts of observations
As Draco saw that Blaise was distracted, he decided to slip away
"Oh- not so fast you ferret," Blaise said, hooking his finger from the belt of his trousers, pulling him back.
"You still haven't answered us- me" Draco gulped as his eyes swarmed for an answer
"I told you, I fell asleep at the library. Anyway it isn't like it is any of your business Zabini" He spat back, giving him a menacing glare as a warning not to ask again
"I swear, you and Pansy are like the same people- Oh, speaking of Pansy, she said she needs to see you now- like right now right now, no waits" He rushed
Draco sighed, thinking this might have to do with the cabinet
"Where's Pansy?"
"Right- forgot to mention, she's at the hospital wing," Blaise said bluntly, as he was slowly walking away from Draco
