"𝙋lease?"
"No." The girl gritted out .
"Pretty please? Look , you won't regret it I promise- "

Whack.

Hermione Granger grimaced fifth time that day as she saw the brunette they didn't even properly  know slap her best friend out of anger. Truth to be told , Hermione couldn't really blame the girl . Not really .

Yes , their first encounter on the train wasn't the best , however Hermione thought over it and decided she would apologise the girl . And she did .

What suprised the trio was the expression the Ravenclaw's expression , as if no one had apologised her before.  Hermione pitied her for that , she really did .

But now Harry wouldn't leave the Fray girl  alone , as he wanted her to hangout with the trio.  His excuse was that he wanted to apologise to her again by making her spend time with them and getting to know her ,  but the bushy haired girl was not oblivious to the glances he stole from Hazel and gaped at the brunette who didn't even acknowledge his presence .

This was his fifth attempt today , but only thing he got was rejection and angry hits  from her .

"Harry, maybe you could leave her alone for the time being-" she couldn't finish her sentence because Seamus Finnigan screamed his throat out.

"He's been spotted! Peter Pettergew has been spotted!" the Irish boy said as he came to the Great hall .

The bickering couple's fight came to an end as soon as they heard the news.

"You must be kidding ." Ron Weasley exclaimed, nervously shooting the boy who lived a look.

"That is outrageous! The newspaper says he's been sighted at Hogsmade. It isn't that far away from here is it?" Neville Longbottom looked Harry for confirmation.

"It isn't." Hazel butted in with a malicious smile adorning her lips .

She then tore the nearest newspaper from her Ravenclaw friends and read through the article excitedly. 

"Aha! Look at this ! Someone will be getting rid of Potter before I choke him with my bare hands.  I hope he gets you and gives the mighty hero some lesson on big headed people you arrogant twat.  .  "

She muttered the last part and continued reading an article about Minstry officials. 

Some people turned to stare while Harry's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Rose Badeaux who was Harry Potter's  current girlfriend for the week came and put a hand on his shoulder which she thought was comforting .

Hazel gagged mentally .

A girl who isn't valued by her current partner comforting him even thought she is going to be dumped by the same person she is comforting by the end of the week. 

How romantic .

Honselty where was this girl looking when her boyfriend was literally in his knees begging Hazel to spend time with him and his friends. 

Harry turned around when he felt the hand and rolled his eyes discreetly when he saw his girlfriend. 

He put on a fake smile and put his hand on her waist . But her attention was on Hazel who was back to reading the newspaper and couldn't be bothered .

" And who are you ?" the redhead snapped but frowned when the Ravenclaw lifted her head to look at her .

Hazel stared blankly at her not noticing that all attention now was on her. If she did maybe she would enjoy it .

And she also didn't notice the way the red head girl looked at her as if in new light . Rose's heart was hammering against her ribcage as she took her time to really stare at the girl .

Hazel Fray stood up and cleared all the imaginary dust that may be on her robes .

"I don't know why would you possible need this information that you  likely will be forgetting next day , but Hazel Fray . " she shoved the newspaper in her hands to Harry on her way out and with a wink to Hermione , she was gone .

What everyone failed to see was the person who was sitting there with an unreadable expression on their face as they pitifully stared at the girl leaving confidently who didn't even now her real name .

"Children please sit down in to your house tables. Headmaster has something to say." McGonagall gave a look to Harry, who was right now silently staring at the Daily Prophet.

Sitting back at the Gryffindor table with his girlfriend, Harry wondered many things in his head .

How did Peter managed to come this close to Hogwarts ? Also Hazel Fray and her rejection to him ? Writing a letter his parents about Peter ?  Hazel Fray ? Breaking up with his current  girlfriend? 

Shit .

"Students ," an elderly voice started , as everyone silenced themselves taking a sign that Headmaster was speaking.

"I am sure that you have been all informed about a prisoner escaping this summer. " He peered at students under his glasses.

"Now , I don't want any of you worry, he will be captured and this case will come to justice."

"However, at the time being I would want to tell you that the demontores are here for a reason. As such, it is their  job to find Pettergew , so I advise you not to go for looking him." He finished his sentence , sternly gazing at Harry, who avoided his look.

"Of course, I know all of you are young and full of want of revenge . But remember it is not age that makes us intelligent, it is our hearts. Just remember, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times , if one remembers to turn on the light." He finished his speech , waiting for a minute to everything to sink in.

                                                                             ☠︎︎

The day started horrible for Hazel Fray.

The night before, she had sat in front of the fireplace for hours, trying to put pieces of the puzzle together. Even though she heard the whispers that were going around  everybody of dangers of following Pettergew, a sense of uneasiness was hunting her, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

After hours of sitting alone, she finally fell asleep, on the uncomfortable armchair that did nothing but hurt her neck.

In the morning, she woke up to Claire and Rose - some of her acquaintances from her house  hitting two pans together, making loud noises and walking around her in circle as if they were doing a ritual.

Sighing, she put her books on the desk and waited for the divination teacher arrive. Suddenly she felt some pairs of eyes on her. Turning around only to roll her eyes and turn back after seeing the Potter boy staring at her. He made a hand gesture , inviting her to sit with him after he pushed Weasley out of the sit beside him .

Hazel groaned inside her brain with a disappointed face .

Didn't this stupid boy have some self respect

Of course he thinks just because he is some famous shit everybody will be in his command

She held his eye contact, not really thinking of backing down. It was obvious she was not going to sit with him and he needed to learn what rejection was .

"Having a secret romance with Pottah now are we ?" A cold dramatic voice startled her .

The brown eyed girl made a noise of distress  as she layed her head on the wooden table .

"Fuck off please, Malfoy ."

"No , but like I am dead serious.  Why is he becoming  so-so what is the word infatuated with you ? It is such a shame you kn-" He didn't finish his sentence as Hazel huffed loudly. 

"God Malfoy, please go be poet somewhere else I can't be bothered now ."

A scoff left his pale lips but he didn't say anything else as he continued to sit down beside her through out the lesson.  Both of them acting oblivious to the looks Harry was sending Malfoy .
