Trouble

Part 48

The others joined the floor and we continued dancing. I looked around and saw Pansy and Matteo, Daphne and Enzo, Blaise and Sofia and the back of Tom, hiding the secret girl he was with.

I danced 3 slow songs with Draco before we all swapped up and I danced with Matteo. We talked quietly while dancing to one of the songs we had learnt when we were younger. 

Once we had a few more dances we all made our way to our table. Blaise and I stopped to get some drinks and went back to our table.

We were all sat round the big table next to our partners. Draco pulled my chair towards him and slowly ran his hand up and down my thigh.

Daphne was speaking and all of a sudden stopped, got up and ran out of the great hall. I looked back in my chair and saw Tom standing there with Astoria- Daphne's younger sister.  

Tom looked confused and Astoria had a sly smug that I so badly wanted to smack of her face. Pansy and I got up and went after Daphne and found her sitting by one of the windows looking at the courtyard. 

" Don't cry Daph. She isn't worth your precious tears." Pansy consoled her while we both wrapped our arms around her.

Once she calmed down a bit more we went to the bathroom and touched up her makeup. as we exited we saw Enzo come this way. 

He hugged Daphne and was whispering sweet nothings in her ear. Pansy and I left to give them some space so we went back to the great hall. 

When I got back Tom dragged me out again by my elbow, leading me up to the top of the stairs. 

" What was wrong with bringing Astoria?" He asked running a hand through his hair.

" You seriously don't know what happened between the two of them." I said shocked he didn't know.

He shook his head. 

" You should speak to Daphne. It isn't my spot to tell you. Just apologize and say you didn't know." I told him. 

We went back to the hall and found everyone sitting down. Astoria was sitting incredibly close to Draco who had pulled his chair as far round the table to Blaise. Daphne was deathly gripping her fork while Enzo had his hand on her arm softly rubbing it to stop her from stabbing her sister. Pansy and Theo were in their own bubble occasionally zoning back in and staring deathly glances at Astoria.

We walked over to the table and Tom sat down while Astoria smirked at me from across the table. I walked over to behind her and pulled the chair out before pushing her out of the way and sitting back down. 

Draco scooted closer and wrapped his arm around me while Astoria got up of the ground.

" Tom let's go." She bossed him. 

He looked confused before slowly standing up and following her to another table. We all looked at each other before looking back at them. He was dancing with Astoria with his back to us. 

Whatever happened to bros before hoes?

We ate our diner in peace without either of them, while chatting. After a while we got back up and some of us went to the dance floor where they had swapped from elegant ballroom songs to more up beat songs.

We were having fun and dancing. After a while I got a bit thirsty so went over to the drinks bar. I stood behind Astoria and waited for her to finish with the drinks.She turned around all of a sudden and quickly dropped a small vile on the floor. 

She was quick to pick it up but I caught a glimpse of the purple like liquid inside. She quickly left and I followed her with my eyes landing on Tom who drank the glass she was holding.

I picked up a drop of the liquid that had spilt on the floor and smelt it. 

A love potion. 

I went to the others and pulled them with me to the side of the hall and told them what I saw. 

" That bitch! God I want to just kill her." Daphne stated frustratedly while running her hand down her face. 

Enzo was quick to calm her down while Matteo and Blaise were looking at Tom. It explained why she so easily bossed Tom around and knowing him, it isn't easy. 

Pansy and I left quickly and made our way to professor Snape's office. I quickly opened the door with a simple charm and we made our way to his cupboard of potions. 

After skimming through the names on the vials I opened one and smelt it, finding the antidote. We put everything back to where we got it and made our way back to the great hall. 

"Draco you will go distract Astoria while Matteo and I distract Tom. Pansy will then slip to potion in his glass while Enzo stops Daphne from murdering Astoria. Blaise you can sit there and look pretty" I explained

They all nodded and we left to spread through the crowd. 

Astoria turned around and latched herself onto Draco. Her hands touching his chest and arms, which I so badly wanted to rip her head of for. Matteo and I went to Tom and we started talking about the new year celebrations. 

Pansy stood behind him waiting for him to place his glass down, but Tom being the responsible person he is, he kept his glass in his hand. 

I was struggling to hide in my laugh while Pansy was imitating choking him then stuffing the potion down his throat when he's unconscious. 

It went on for a while and I looked around and saw Astoria with her hands wrapped around my boyfriend who had his hands in his pocket. 

I just caught a glance of Blaise leaving with Sofia. Enzo and Daphne were sitting down with each other far away from us.
