Pity the living- slytherin boys

Tom

"Guys! You will not believe what's been going on!" I sit down with everyone in the Slytherin common room.

"After I left your dorm last night Umbridge caught me and she gave me detention with Filtwick in the afternoon, and when I was with him in detention he made me sign some documents and I couldn't do it anymore so I asked him to go for a walk and, it's Filtwick so obviously he said yes... what are you two doing?" I look at tom and Mattheo.

"We're listening, Alice." Mattheo chuckles.

"Come on, Jones, continue on." Tom grins at me. It's so weird, it's like they are completely different people. But they aren't, they just don't care for their father anymore. I like that.

"Oh, this is nice." I state and continue on, "Well, I went out to the courtyard because I saw a ton of people going there... where you there? When Umbridge tried to kick Treawlany out?" I ask everyone.

"I was." Someone hugs me from behind. I turn around to see Dray.

"Hi Dray." I smile at him, looking deeply into his silvery blue eyes before he kisses my nose and sits down.

"Well, anyways, that whole thing happened and then the evil bitch saw me out of detention so she took me to her office. And she was all like; 'why doesn't it hurt you, brat?' And I told her that it does hurt and that I just like how it makes her blood boil when I pretend it not to be. And then, she told me that when she becomes headmistress she will expel me and I was like, huh! Good luck with that, Fudge told me to come back to Hogwarts. And she was like; 'is that a threat?' And I was like; 'did it sound like a compliment?' And... I'm out of breath." I finally stop talking. "Ooh! Beer!" I grab a half empty beer bottle from the table and chug it down.

"That was mine." Dray says.

"Okay, then, I'm sure you don't mind." I reply.

"Oh, Blaise, there you are." Enzo speaks as Blaise arrives with a small black bottle in hand.

"What is that?" I ask him about the bottle.

"Truth serum, we're playing truth or dare." He answers.

I roll my eyes, "We are not playing truth or dare." I shake my head.

"Why not?" Theo asks.

"Because you always make me hook up with people and I have a boyfriend." I smile at Dray.

"It's not their fault that you are so beautiful everyone here wants you." Dray moves my hair away from my face and kisses my red cheek.

"Then we'll only do truth." Mattheo suggests.

"Where do you always get truth serum from, anyway?" I squint my eyes at Blaise.

"We've been stealing it from Snape since the third year." He replies, making me laugh.

"How did he not catch up to you?" Dray questions.

"He always thinks it's Potter. Even though, last year at the end of the year he was absolutely sure it was Crouch." We all laugh at the answer.

Each one of us drinks a drop of the serum as we are about to begin playing.

"I'll ask" I speak, "Tom... do you... have a crush right now?" I think of the question while speaking.

"That's a boring question." Enzo blurts out.

"Yeah, for Tom? Seriously?" Theo snickers.

"I do have a crush right now." Tom answers. They all look at him with shock while I smile with satisfaction.

"How do I get rid of it?" He speaks through gritted teeth.

"You don't, mate." Enzo laughs.

"Hey, Tom, real talk right now. Why are you so quiet? You never tell us anything like that, why is that?" Blaise asks him.

"Because I don't like most of you." Tom responds sternly.

"What?" I exclaim.

"Yeah, that's right. I think you and your friends are a bunch of idiots, that's why I don't talk to you." He continues.

"No, you're just an awkward person, you're really awkward, huh?" Dray argues with Tom.

"You... you just proved my point." Tom tells Dray.

"No, seriously, I feel like you're not a talkative guy at all." Theo now adds.

"No, I'm a very talkative person when I'm around people I actually like." Tom raises his voice, getting upset.

"No, no, you see, you lack social skills. I know you cannot talk to people." Enzo continues. They really are a bunch of idiots.

Tom stands up and leaves, sick of them.

"You are all so stupid." I sigh and follow after him. I have been meaning to talk to him about something.

"Hey, Tom!" I call him.

"What, Jones?" He sternly talks, he doesn't stop walking away.

"I wanted to ask you something." I run infront of him, stopping him.

He sighs, "what is it?" He questions.

"Um... you're a wonderful wizard..." I start speaking.

"Get to the point." He scoffs.

"Um... I have this place... the room of requirements, if you ever heard of it. I always practice magic there... I thought maybe we could practice together, duel and... teach each other. Maybe even create spells together. None of my friends ever practiced there with me, not even Theo, but I thought it could be nice if... you wanted to. I mean, you're really, really good." I give him a hopeful grin. I really hope he'll say yes.

"Um... sure." My eyes light up at his answer. I'm really excited about this.

"Yeah?" I question, full of happiness.

"Yes. Tell me when you'll be going and I'll join you."
