"All fucking train rides are a bore. Was there ever a train ride in which you had an absolutely grand time?" Onyx groaned, stretching her bubble gum from her mouth with her finger. I look out the window to see us stride further away from Kings' Cross.

"Y'know, there was this one train ride with Luna Lovegood," Lorenzo smirks, causing Blaise to snort, "Freak, that one". I roll my eyes. All Blaise and Lorenzo ever talk about are shagging girls older and younger, not 3 years younger and not 3 years older. This wasn't new to me; Onyx and I became accustomed to the dirty talking that Blaise and Lorenzo bantered about.

"Freak? As in... weirdo?" Onyx questioned, crossing her legs.

"Freak as in..." Lorenzo glances at Blaise with a smirk.

"Enzo shagged Luna in the train loo while intoxicated in year 5," Draco interrupted. He entered our booth and plopped himself right next to Blaise. "She had to drink  The Vial".

"Ugh, Lorenzo! You're disgusting!" Onyx exclaimed, fake gagging. A chuckle emitted from our booth. "You really spunked in her?!"

The Vial was curated by a woman in the 50's. She was allegedly the woo of Tom Riddle, or He who shall not be named. Apparently, they couldn't keep their hands off each other, so she had to find an ultimatum in order to prevent, you know, babies.

"The more someone drinks The Vial, the more their body gets used to it. Soon enough it won't work," I added. They all look at me as if I was strange. "What! I read it from a book!"

Onyx giggles. "Of course you did. You're a Granger- you've got the brains," she swings an arm around me and pulls me closer, "Which is why I will continue to cheat off your work".

I lightly shove her off and laugh.

"Grangers also have mudblood running through their veins," Draco spat. What's new. Draco always has it out for me for some reason. Sometimes we have our moments, but those moments are usually alone and only for 5 seconds. Usually, when I'm on a way to my class and he happens to be in the same hallway, he'll flash a smile. But anything else he's just plain fucking rude.

"It's not like she chose to be the half-sister of Hermoine. Plus, Lucille radiates Slytherin energy anyways. I can't see Lucille as a Gryffindor, but Ravenclaw maybe," Onyx addressed.

"Ravenclaw?" Blaise croaked. "They are the absolute worst in bed. Are you horrible in bed, Granger?"

Suddenly, my cheeks turned warm, and my mouth salivated. I usually don't get asked questions about my sex life. My friends know I don't get action. Blaise just wants to get a rise out of me sometimes.

Onyx reaches over to Blaise and slaps his head, causing him to wince. A soft giggle escapes from my lips, Enzo scoffs, and Draco's face grows a smirk.

"I'm just not sure why you're in Slytherin, is all. I assumed that all the bickering that I've given you over the years would make you want to leave Hogwarts," Draco huffed.

"I'm not sure-. Shut up Malfoy. Go wank it off, you seem stressed," Onyx snapped.

She always has my back. She's ferocious, bold, and she's very loyal. We're complete polar opposites, which is why we're best friends.

And truth be told, he does look pretty stressed. But I assume it's because we have to come back to fucking Hogwarts to finish school.

"Need to ease the pain, Malfoy? I brought some muggle-herbs to do the job," Lorenzo got up and grabbed his backpack from above. He reached in and pulled out a small sandwich bag filled with some sort of dried grass.

"It smells like a skunk!" Onyx complained, pinching her nose closed, and I did the same.

"You really brought muggle-weed?" Draco said lowly, grabbing the bag from Lorenzo and opening it.

As soon as he opened it, it completely fucking reeked. That horrendous herb! Draco took a whiff of the bag and closed his eyes.

"Smells great," he states, as he closes the bag and returns it to Lorenzo.

"What do you eat it with?" Onyx queried, which made Lorenzo laugh. He put the herbs away and sat back down next to Blaise, leaving Blaise sandwiched between Draco and Lorenzo.

"You don't eat it, dumbass. You smoke it," Lorenzo responded. "You could eat it, but it would have to be in a different form".

"And how do you know all this?" I asked him, biting my lip.

"Muggles are fun to be around sometimes. They've got all sorts of unique things. It's also nice not being around unexplainably advanced people. They taught me what I know" he responded.

Blaise pulled out a small package of chocolate frogs. We all looked at him as he opened it.

"Can I fucking help you?" he beams, pausing his tracks.

"I want some, please," Onyx pleaded.

"Yeah, Onyx wants your chocolate frog," Lorenzo jokes.

"Oh? Again? Can't get enough of me, innit?" Blaise jeers. Onyx punched Enzo's thigh which made him groan.

"No. Never again," Onyx spat, specifically eyeing Blaise.

"Ah, I remember the 'Blaise and Onyx' days like the back of my hand," Draco cringed. "Astronomy tower at 11:15 pm on the dot, isn't that right, Blaise?"

I let out a snort and Onyx gave me a death stare. I couldn't help it.

"I'd fuck a Ravenclaw again over Onyx any day," Enzo stated, as he grabbed a piece of Blaise's chocolate and popped it in his mouth.

"Can we not? That was one of the lowest points in my life," Onyx groused, unraveling the blanket she set on the ground and pulling it over her.

"Wha-. Lowest points? So you're saying you used me?" Blaise assumed, mouth full of chocolate.

"I didn't use you, Blaise. You just happened to, like, be there". She assured Blaise, which made Draco scoff.

"How long did that last again? The whole Blaise and Onyx era?" I questioned.

"Fucking 6 months. All I heard from Blaise was 'does she love me? should I stop?'. Even Draco wanted to punch Blaise in his fucking face," spilled Enzo, kicking his feet up at the vacant seat right next to me.

"I don't understand why anyone would want to fuck a blood traitor," Draco muttered, which followed silence.

"Usually Draco I'd let your bullshit slide because you know, you're Draco with your daddy issues and all, but just this one last train ride to Hogwarts I really don't want your snobby attitude? I want to take a fucking nap without you commenting on some bullshit about me, Blaise, and Enzo being blood traitors. ON TOP of that, I'm pretty sure Lucille doesn't want to be called a mudblood during her last train ride, too" Onyx snapped. She then huffed and pulled her blanket up to her neck and closed her eyes. She really knew how to shut the whole crowd.

Draco just rolled his eyes.

I got used to Draco being so mean to me, but for some reason this year it's starting to hurt a little. Maybe it's because it's the last year of Hogwarts and I don't want us to part on bad terms. He's been there for Onyx multiple times when I couldn't, and the least we could do is be acquaintances before the school year ends.

During the train ride to Hogwarts, Onyx napped through most of it while I watched Blaise and Enzo bicker at each other about who will deflower Susan Bones first. I couldn't help but glance at Draco every now and then. At some points, he seemed pretty lifeless. A chuckle or two emits from him whenever Blaise says some stupid thing, but that's about it.

Looking at Draco made me realize that he isn't that irritating to look at. I mean, his face is chiseled. He has nice features. His eyes- if you stared at them for a long time I'm confident that you'd melt.

Geez Louise, Lucille. Enough!
