'' Adrian?'' I exhaled, contracting my breaths from being shoved into the wall,

'' Missed me?'' He grins, yielding me with a sly smile, but something wasn't right - his bearing varied; he acted differently, nearly as if he taunted me, '' I have one question for you, Leiah.''

I reeled my head, gazing up at his husky body - my eyes snapped to the swollen blackened bruise coating his eye, '' Adrian, what happened to you?'' I gulped, stretching to stroke his mark with my thumb, sensing his surface softly smoothing against my finger,

'' This?'' He buzzed, gesturing up to the wounded eye, tensing his jaws together, '' Malfoy.''

I twist my appearance in doubt, practically shocked by his answer; why would Draco do this to him? He didn't seem too upset by the fact that Adrian used me,

I wrenched my hand away, shoving it inside the pocket of my robe, '' Why would he do that?''

His lips instantly curled into a smirk at my terms, '' Because he saw me kiss you again - but that's not relevant.'' He spoke, '' The important part is where he went to find you right after you left my room, and didn't come out of your room until the morning after, care to explain?''

Pure venom dripped off his tongue as he spoke, seeming pleased by the truth that he exposed Draco for staying in my room the entire night - even if I left long before he did, '' I don't have to explain anything to you. '' I seethed, remembering what Draco told me that night - reliving how Adrian used me,

" And the only reason Pucey was with her was to get back at me for spending time with Pansy."

Draco's words echoed through my head as I gawked into Adrian's eyes - the smirk on his face dissolved once he caught onto my words - he inhaled sharply as he shut his centers, rolling his shoulders, and the instant Adrian unfolded his eyes again - he stared at me with violent eyes - the courteous, gentle boy I talked to a few days ago had vanished - and this threatful boy held his place,

'' You don't?'' He challenged me, as a devilish smile rose, '' Then please, answer this one simple question and I'll leave you to it,'' I held his ragged breaths fanning my skin - I loathed it, having him so close to me after learning what he did,

He deserved whatever Draco did to him,

The only thing I was sorry about,

Was the fact that I wasn't the one who threw the punch,

'' Did you fuck Malfoy?''

His words caught me off guard - provoking me to choke on my spit, '' What?'' I breathe out, clearing my throat, '' How is that any of your business, Pucey?''

He rose a brow at me for calling him by his last name, pouring his tongue over his lower lip, nibbling on it after, '' I thought we had something, Riddle,''
