Song- 'Get Stüpid' by bülow

Theo spent the rest of his day sulking and went to bed grumpy too. He regretted telling her they needed time apart, but he knew it would only be a matter of time until he wanted her again. And the Black Lake was only further proving that fact. He couldn't resist her skin or the way she looked up at him, it made him want to devour her all day long. He thought about her day and night, even during the nights with Daphne.

He didn't mean to be doing this, but Daphne just wasn't her.

Today was Thursday, Friday being the match between the Hogwarts A team and the Beauxbatons B team. Theo was stood outside the great hall with Blaise, they were waiting for Draco after quidditch practice. Draco didn't try out for the school team, something about wanting to focus on his school grades more. They didn't take much notice of it until he started spending more and more time in the library.

Draco came strutting down the corridor with a stupidly annoying grin on his face. Blaise nudged Theo to draw his attention to the seemingly proud blonde coming their way.

"Let's go then boys, I'm hungry." Draco smirked and wrapped an arm round both Theo and Blaise's shoulders. Blaise threw Theo a confused look which was gladly returned.

"What's got you so happy?" Blaise asked Draco as they sat down at the Slytherin table. The spaces next to Blaise and Theo staying empty.

"Can i not just be pleased with life? It's wonderful really." Draco chuckled happily as he loaded some mashed potatoes onto his dinner plate.

"You're Draco Malfoy, the only time you're ever happy is when you're either pissing us off or bullying some first year." Theo scoffed and spooned out some peas and sausages onto his plate.

"Okay, that's a lie. I don't need a reason to be so happy, I just am. Contrary to your opinions, I do, in fact, have a heart. Today is a bloody good day." Draco then began to shove in his mouth sausages, mash and peas covered in gravy.

Dinner went along with the suspicions of Draco's unusually cheery mood, but from the constant glances at the Gryffindor table- the boys knew it was about Granger.

"I'm just saying," Blaise held his hands up in defence "all these years you've hated her guts and it looks could kill she'd surely be dead. And now you're eye-fucking her across the great hall?"

"Not just eye-fucking" Draco wiggled his eyebrows.

"Yeah we know that too" Theo smirked down at his plate, his fork jabbing at the last few peas swimming in gravy.

As Draco and Blaise waffled on about Merlin knows what, the blonde came and sat herself down next to Theo.

He was about to smile and ask her about her day when he realised it was the wrong blonde.

"Hey Theo" she smiled.

"What are you doing?" He frowned at her, all the while Blaise and Draco's conversation kept flowing. All he wanted was for Blaise to give her a dirty look or tell her to fuck off.

"I'm sitting with you?" She said and jokingly rolled her eyes.

"This isn't your seat." He said bluntly and looked around for any escape route.

"Well I don't see anyone else in it?" She laughed.

"Doesn't mean you get to take what's yours." He turned to face her now.

"So you fuck me but I can't sit next to you?"

"Yeah, and what? Matter of fact let's cut this conversation short and save you some tears. We're done." He was speaking to her abruptly now, he wanted her away and their conversation over.

"What do you mean? Theo I thought-"

"There's nothing between us and there never was. You just used me to get off just as I did you. Now leave." He huffed.

"But-"

"Leave Greengrass." His fingertips were digging into the wood of the table, she stared back at him. Her face fixed in a sneer as her hand came into contact with his cheek. His face moved to the side with the movement as his jaw came unhinged.

"What the fuck. Who do you think you are?" He fumed.

"Fuck you Nott, and yes I did just use you to get off. And what? Go back to obsessing over your stupid little friend that doesn't even want you." She hissed and stood up to strut back to her seat.

Blaise and Draco froze when Theo cursed under his breath and stormed out of the great hall holding his cheek.

Across the hall, brown eyes widened and followed the Slytherin. They had watched the whole interaction, flinching at the slap. Ignoring her friends conversation she rushed out of the hall like she did earlier on in the week. Only this time it was after him.

She was the one that had told him to get on with other girls, to branch out. Because she believed she didn't deserve him. But when was she going to understand that she was the only one he wanted. He only wanted her.

So she followed him.

A/N: do you prefer longer or shorter chapters? I like a mix of the two, I didn't want to make them all too long as I know it sometimes demotivates people.

I know you're all probably itching for them to become friends again, I promise you they will! I just don't want to make it happen too fast, there are feelings and complications involved. But they will become friends again.

All I'm saying is wait for the quidditch match on Friday ;) sweaty Theo, I think YES!

How was your day?
