Hi bubsssyy booos😛 I really have no idea what to put as the song of the chapter😳 it's a pretty fun, and chill chapter again sooo I guess just choose your own song😏 anyways enjoy!!

The next day, classes were pretty good and went
normally. Once I reached my last class, Transfiguration, I decided to apologize to Mcgonagall for my strange behavior yesterday.

After I packed my bag up, I approached her desk. I had made a plan in my head earlier of the excuse I'd use for how I acted at the end of last class. Even though I had felt much better since the last conversation I had with her, I still didn't want to open up to her about everything. I really didn't want to open up to anyone.

"Hi Professor," I smiled sweetly at her, as I watched her head come up from the papers she was grading on her desk. "I've come to apologize for my strange behavior yesterday, I was fairly stressed with homework and all my new classes and it was rude of me to not talk to you properly." I said, straightening my posture, trying to act as formal and sincere as possible.

A wave of relief washed through me as I saw a warm smile grow on her face. I didn't want her to worry about me, nor guilt me into telling her the truth. I just hoped my father hadn't mailed letters to all my teachers telling them what happened over the summer. I didn't want it as an excuse. I was going to be fine. At least I hoped I was.

"Oh deary, no worries about that," she spoke gently, taking her reading glasses off. "I've come to realize first days can be quite stressful and I don't blame you at all for it."

I grinned at her, the stress and guilt lifting off of my shoulders. Although I did feel slightly bad that the excuse I told her wasn't true, I was getting used to the feeling of not telling people the whole truth.

I thanked her for her kindness towards me, than headed out of class and towards the library. I was rather excited to study with Neville, I never really preferred herbology nor was I too good at it, so I suspect it'll be nice to have some help.

Once I walked into the library, I started walking around, skimming through book titles. I hadn't seen the boy yet, but I didn't want to look around too much.

I opened up a book with a pretty spine and looked at some of the chapter names. I traced my fingers over the title of it, which was metallic, with a very fancy looking font.

"Hi Y/n!"

I flinched from the sudden voice behind me, but soon laughed quietly when I realized who it was.

"Hi Neville," I quickly put the book back and turned to the boy, a grin on my face.

"Oh no, have I scared you?" He asked, concern taking over his happy expression.

"Just a bit- well not you necessarily, more of just the sudden noise. No worries though!" I said, trying not to sound mean with my words which only resulted in a tad stutter.

"Oh..ok." He smiled sweetly at me, gripping his bag a bit tighter.

There was a moment of silence between us. It wasn't horribly uncomfortable but I wouldn't call it comfortable either. I felt like that boy always had something to say but was always to scared to say it. I frowned at the thought, but soon snapped myself out of it.

"There's an empty table over there we can use," I say, pointing to a table behind him.

He nods slightly before we both walk over and sit down. It was a small wooden table, with dark blue bean bags on either side. It reminded me of Professor Trelawney's class.

We both pulled out our herbology textbooks, opening them to the chapters we had to study than write a summary about for homework. Professor sprout assigned us 2 chapters to read about what this years herbology will teach us and what to expect.

Doing my homework with Neville was very enjoyable, more than I expected honestly. He had a real fascination when it came to plants, and I admired him for it. Whenever I asked a question, instead of just giving me the answer, he would actually explain it to me and help me answer it. I already feel like I've learned so much just from one little study session.

"Thank you so much Neville! I really appreciate all the help." I smile warmly at him, as I slowly walk backwards, out of the library.

"Of course! I enjoyed it!" He responds, a grin planted on his lips.

I had totally forgotten that it was Friday until I walked in my dorm and saw Pansy planning an outfit on my bed.

I wasn't even sure how long I'd stay at the party. The Slytherin parties usually consisted of all the older grades drinking a lot and then dancing till 1A.M. and since I'm only 13, I sadly, cannot do that.

"What do you think?" Pansy asked me, as her arms gestured towards the outfit that was placed across my bed.

For the shirt, she had picked the Dark green satin tank top she complimented on our first day back, and for pants she picked some light colored jeans that weren't necessarily tight, but weren't super lose either.

As I stared at the clothing, a weak smile grew on my face. I nodded approvingly at it, before walking over and picking it up.

"I think it's lovely," I say, smiling at the girl a foot or so away from me.

"I think it's hot." She says plainly, staring at the outfit that was folded in my arms.

A breath of shock spills out of my mouth, but I can't help laughing at her comment.

"Not sure if that's what I'm going for, but I'll still wear it." I say, approaching the bathroom.

I hear Pansy laugh slightly, before I close the bathroom door to change. The tank top fits me nicely, slightly showing off my, let's just say more "developed", chest. I also liked how the pants looked, and felt. They were quite comfortable, surprisingly, and I cuffed them a bit at the bottom, as they looked weird without it.

I walk out of the bathroom and placed my hands on my hips, smiling at Pansy, who was currently straightening her hair.

"Wow-" I watched as one of her eyes brows quirked, as she looked at me in the outfit she picked out. "I can't even imagine the amount of boys who would be all over you if you weren't 13."

I scoffed and rolled my eyes at her, smiling slightly at the compliment. I walked over to my bed, placing my dirty clothes down, before walking over and sitting on her bed.

"Ew Pans, I'm 13." I exclaim, as I watch the straightener glide down her short black hair.

"That's why I said if you weren't 13," she responds cheekily, smirking at me.

I shake my head slowly, laughing quietly, as I stare at my hands in my lap. Although it was definitely a weird compliment, and who knows if it really even was one, I appreciated Pansy's effort.

Once she had finished straightening her hair, she asked me what I wanted to do with my hair, before deciding what she wanted to do instead. She decided on two Dutch braids, that lead into two different ponytails. She then curled the hair from those ponytails, admiring every ringlet once it was out of the curling iron.

I always enjoyed when Pansy did my hair, she always knew what looked good with certain outfits. She also had a talent for makeup, and although I rarely wore makeup, whenever I did I'd always get her to help me with it.

"Alright! Hair is done," she says as she drops the last ringlet of my hair.

I grinned at my reflection in the mirror, admiring the hairstyle she had picked. Personally, I think it looks great with the outfit.

I hop out of the chair I was getting my hair done in, and walk over to my bed, pulling out a pair of white sneakers. I slip them on before walking over to my full body mirror and making sure I looked good. Pansy appeared behind me, smiling at the reflection.

She was wearing a black turtleneck, with a light brown plaid dress. It was short dress, ending at the middle of her thighs, with a small slit on the left side.

"You ready?" I ask, turning to face her.

"I think so, you?" She asks, smiling weakly at me.

I take a deep breath, looking at my outfit one more time before moving my gaze back to her.

"I hope so."
