4🔴Zip it Ferret Boy

It felt quite strange to Emerald that Pansy couldn't see the winged horses that were attached to the carts as they stepped gingerly off the train ,she had always loved animals and found the Thestrals absolutely beautiful ,it seemed she was the only one that could see exactly what was transporting them.

"Lovely aren't they" a deep voice came from behind her

"Thank goodness I thought I was the only one" she grinned ,she stuck out her hand for the boy to shake "Emerald"

He took her hand and shook it firmly
"Theo Nott I'm guessing you're new?" he smiled warmly

"Yeah fresh from beauxbatons this year" she looked at him ,he was quite handsome with curly brown hair and deep blue eyes, she guessed he played a bit of quiddich too judging by how muscled his arms looked in his tight black T-shirt

"Beauxbatons hey well I didn't see that comming or maybe I did ,hear they're all veelas there" he smirked

"Not all of us cassanova" she laughed "just the really lucky ones"

He laughed back "wanna sit with us? I'm just over there with a few teammates ,Montague and Pucey if you want to join" he offered kindly

Emerald shook her head " sorry id love to but I said I'd sit with Pansy" she waved happily at her friend who was talking animatedly to Professor Flitwick

"Oh you've befriended Pansy" he looked around before continuing "I'm genuinely glad, she didn't deserve all the grief she got from Malfoy if you ask me but in this school it's easier to be on HIS good side rather than THE good side" he said quietly "what did you say your surname was again?" he suddenly questioned

"I didn't" she laughed ,turning away and flicking her hair,she didn't want many people to know her history yet for worry that they would befriend her for her name not herself .With Pansy it was almost like she knew she could trust her and that thought suddenly made her uneasy. She wasn't the trusting type and it was safer that way she told herself.

"Oi Parkinson ,gonna go back to your mud blood friends this year? oh no wait they don't even like you" a voice boomed

Emerald looked round to see a tall skinny guy with blonde hair laughing cruelly with a pair of muscly guys with buzz cuts and making crying faces at Pansy ,Emerald felt her jaw clench ,she had only known Pansy for hours yet still felt protective over her ,Pansys cheeks were red and she looked down at the floor moving dirt around with her shoe embarrassed ,not wanting to look at the boys

Without even thinking about it Emerald walked lightly over to Pansy and put her arms on her shoulders

"There you are I've been looking everywhere for you come on let's go get a carriage I can describe thestrals to you if you'd like" she smiled at her

Pansy looked up in surprise "I..I..I thought you were sitting with Theo" she said

"Pfft why would I sit with Theo when I told him I was sitting with you"

"Really?" she sniffed
"Of course plus his friend were seeing how many mince pies they could put in their mouths at once,disgusting if you ask me" she laughed

Pansy giggled and liked their arms and they both walked towards the carriages

"Found a new mud blood to torment ,Parkinson?" the blondie goaded

Emerald smiled reassuringly at Pansy and whipped round so she was facing the blonde boy, Crabbe and Goyles jaws dropped at the sight of her

"What did you just say?"

"Stay out of this sweetheart" he patronised "unless you're a mud blood too I don't remember addressing you" he smirked

"So what if I am?"
Emerald
"What?" he seemed surprised

"What if I am a muggleborn"

Draco seemed speechless for a second ,Em smirked and turned to walk away

"Then you're just as much scum as that filthy blood traitor over there" he said

Emerald smiled a sickly sweet smile before turning around and connecting her fist with his face

"Insult my friend one more time I dare you" she said lowly before turning on her heel and marching away several boys looking at her in awe.

"That wasn't very ladylike" Pansy smirked
Emerald smiled relinking their arms as they walked away.

"Don't mistake me for a lady, a lady does what's expected of her and I do whatever the hell I want"
