Chapter Nine: Names and Feelings

Pansy and I became rather close….

"Hey, Sunoya, do…since you and Draco are…cousins do…er…do you think..."

"Want me to hook you two up?" I asked

"Could you?"

"I'll try my best" I saw Shane and Harry coming our way. I banged my shoulder into Shane "Watch it Smith"

"Slut" Shane muttered. Pansy stopped abruptly

"What did you call her?" She sneered

"I called her a slut"

"Take it back Smith"

"I don't think I will"

"Take it back or all you're going to see is black"

"Like your soul?"

"What's going on here?" Professor Snape snuck up behind Shane and Harry

"Professor, Smith here call Jennifer a slut"

"Name calling is rather childish. Don't you agree Mr. Smith? 20 points from Gryffindor" Pansy and I glared at Smith, as he glared back at us.

"So how are things with Aiden?" Pansy asked to me when we started walking again

"Who? Oh Aiden O'Rien, well what's to say, he cute, funny, and smart" I replied

"He talks about you nonstop I hope you know"

"How flattering" I said sarcastically.

"Would you ever consider going out with him?"

"Uh"

"C'mon, he's a good guy. His parents are wealthy pure-breeds"

"Yeah, that brings up another thing what's with the whole pure breed and half breed, I've been hearing the word 'breed' so much, I've come to believe we're all dogs or something."

"Sunoya, you crack me up" Pansy said laughingly "But you haven't answered my question. Would you?"

"Maybe"

"Ooh, he'll be ecstatic!"

"Pansy, I didn't say I would, I just said maybe"

"Uh huh, right, okay no problem"

Pansy and I walked to the courtyard where we met up with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle.

"What happened over there?" Draco asked

"Damn Gryffindors" I sneered

"Pathetic. Come on we've got Transfiguration"

We got to the classroom and Aiden was already there sitting in the back, he had an empty seat next to him and motioned me to come sit with him. I looked back at Pansy and she just smiled, I looked at Draco and he just nodded. What great friends. Sighing I went to where Aiden was and sat down, and almost immediately he started talking to me. I looked up for a second and saw Shane walk in with Harry, Ron and Hermione. They sat down on the other side of the room but I knew Shane was staring at me. Professor McGonagall came in to start the class, I managed to tone out and just doodle in my textbook. Aiden glanced over to see what I was doing, and smirked a bit, and started writing in my textbook.

'You want to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?' Aiden wrote

'Um, I'll get back to you on that' I wrote back. Aiden felt a bit hurt but he wasn't going to give up.

"Jennifer, Miss Trevine!" Professor McGonagall said

I snapped out, and looked up at the Professor "I'm sorry what?"

"Miss. Trevine, I will not tolerate with daydreaming in my class! 5 points from Slytherin" I looked at Aiden who wouldn't stop smiling, I could tell he was trying to hold back a laugh. I slapped him on the leg "This is all your fault" I whispered

Class ended minutes later, I started heading out the door when I felt someone pushed me from behind. When I turned around it was Shane.

"Walk faster Trevine" Shane sneered

"I'll walk as slow as I want to Smith" I snickered back; I looked behind Shane and saw Aiden walking out with Draco "Hey O'Rien!" Aiden turned around and looked at me, "meet me in the Common Room, if you still want to go to Hogsmeade" I turned around to look at Shane's face and he looked hurt. I rolled my eyes at him and went to catch up with Pansy.
