Silently Screaming For Help

|Chapter 95 : Knowing But Not Knowing|

"Oi, Black"

"What do you want Parkinson?"

"Where the hell were you at lunch? You vanished from the classroom and weren't in the hall"

"I know"

"Where were you?"

"I just didn't go to lunch" I muttered with a shrug, sitting at the back of McGonagall's class as Pansy sat at the table in front of me, turning around on her chair to look at me as I glanced up at her

"Well I know that"

"Well if you know these things why do you ask such stupid questions?"

"I'm trying to find out where you went instead of going to lunch"

"I went to the common room"

"No you didn't. Because we went there to drop our things off at the start of lunch and went there again at the end of lunch to get our stuff again and you weren't there either of those times"

"That's because I went to the common room after going for a walk-"

"So when did you go to the common room?"

 

"During the middle of lunch"

"Right..... who were you with?"

"Cedric-"

"Liar. Diggory was in the hall the whole of lunch. Who were you with?"

"Fine.... I was with Victor, Aaron and LJ-"

"Liar. Victor came over to us and asked if we knew where you were. LJ was down the other end of the table messing about and Aaron was in the library"

"How'd you know he was there?"

"You'd be surprised by what I know. I know a lot"

"If you know so much you should be able to pass your classes-"

"Lia!"

"I had to Pansy I couldn't miss that opportunity-"

"You're a cunt"

"I know. Fine, if you know so much surely you should know who I was with"

"My guess is that you were with Theodore" she said to me, eyebrows raised as she nodded at me and I avoided her eyes, pulling my robe sleeves over my hands as I shrugged slightly

"Maybe I was"

"I thought so! I knew that you two would be together"

"Again, if you knew why did you ask?"

"I wanted to be sure. You two disappear off a lot"

"Yeah..." I mumbled as she gave a hum and I looked at her again, her eyebrows raised with a grin on her face making me roll my eyes at her antics as her grin dropped and she gawked at me

"What?"

"What in the name of fuck happened to your fingers?!" She asked loudly as she grabbed my hand and held my fingers as I winced slightly, watching her poke the bruises and cuts along my skin as I tried to pull my hand away

"Jesus bloody Christ Pansy you're inspecting me as if I'm some sort of priceless artefact" I sighed before pulling my hand away as she looked up at me, people coming into the class

"What bloody happened?"

"Nothing important I'm fine"

"You don't look fine"

"And what's that meant to mean?"

"I'm just saying that you-"

"Pansy sit back I need to get to my seat" Blaise sighed before pushing her chair in and slipping past her before sitting down as I leant against the wall, Draco taking the empty seat beside me as I watched Daphne and Millicent grab a table in front of Pansy and Blaise as he turned around to me and went to open his mouth

"I swear to fuck if you ask me where I was I'll break your elbows"

"Well I'm not going to ask anymore" he muttered before turning around as I let out a quiet sigh, looking at Draco exasperatedly as a small smile became visible on his face and I raised an eyebrow at him

"Have you got a new cologne on?"

"Yes.... why?"

"Oh, I can smell it. It smells nice, I like it" I told him as I pulled parchment out of my bag and stopped for a moment, confused with myself as I glanced at Draco out of the side of my eye, watching as he tried to hide his growing smile
