•Chapter 16

-----December 24th-----

Eric and I ran out of the Cellar in hopes to find Serena.

We saw Draco and Serena standing in the middle of the crowd looking around for us. I slightly looked at Draco knowing he would bring Serena over here.

"Hey Draco what's up?" I asked him.

"Y/n, Serena has something to say to you. Don't you Serena?"

She took in a deep breath and looked deep into my eyes, "Look Y/n, I'm sorry. I felt like Eric was slowly taking you away from me and I got jealous. I know that is no excuse for my behavior but-"

I interrupted her mid sentence and ran up to her and gave her a hug. I felt tears start to run down my face. 

I didn't care about anything that she did, after all it was her brother, but i'm just glad that we came to point in which everything is okay.

"S, don't worry about it, okay?"

"Okay." She responded as she began crying too.

We both backed away from the hug to see each other's make up smeared on the shoulders of our dresses.

"Let's go clean ourselves up." I said, grabbing her and pulling her out of the room. We both walked out and went upstairs to her bathroom.

"I have missed you so much Y/n. I didn't show it because I felt like I needed to keep a bitch face on around you." We both laughed as we wiped off the smeared makeup.

We decided to just stay in her room and talk for most of the party. I missed our little gossip sessions and how much I would laugh during them.

"Wait, so what you're saying is that pretty boy Diggory broke up with his girlfriend for you?"

"Yes, why do you sound so shocked?"

She smirked, "He must really like you Y/n."

I rolled my eyes, "We are just really good friends and besides i'm dating your brother, remember?"

"Well I guess I must have forgotten." she chuckled.

"Come on let's go get Draco and Eric so we can sneak out and go back to my house."

"I'm down" I responded.

We both went back down the stairs and ran into Serena's father.

"Where's Eric and Draco?"

His eyes widened, "Where have you been? Mr. Richards was looking for you."

I could feel the anger Serena had after her Father had said that. Mr. Richards has been trying to convince Serena to work for them since she was about 8. We haven't ever figured out why, but we both know it's not for a good reason.

"Well, you can tell him that I still respectfully decline his offer." 

"Serena, this is a good opportunity for-"

"No, okay? I'm not going to, not now, not ever. Now, where are Draco and Eric?"

Her father looked incredibly disgusted, "Would you excuse us for a moment Y/n?

Serena grabbed my arm, "She doesn't have to leave, we have nothing left to talk about. And since you won't give me a firm answer i'm going to find Eric and Draco on my own."

Serena and I began walking towards the door that led downstairs. "I don't understand why him nor fucking Mr. Richards can't take no for an answer. See there's another thing! I don't even know the fuckers first name yet he wants me to work for him?"

I set my hand on her shoulder, "Love, take a deep breath. You'll be okay, Mr. Richards and your dad can go fuck themselves."

"Do you think the wizarding world has something like emancipation?"

I laughed to myself, "I don't know S, I can check it out though."

"Thank you."
