[i][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2I0ulTZWXA]Caution, there's just no limits to the boundaries you push,
I've warned you but still you just fuck with my mind
There's no escape from this rage that I feel,
Nothing is real[/url][/i][/center][hr][hr]
The rest of the lesson had gone by in a breeze. Even with the constant distraction of trying to avoid looking at her front neighbors, the preparation of today’s potions had kept both Noel and Demi busy. The Slytherin seemed to be improving steadily, which pleased her very much. Whether it was the study sessions or the incentive of their ‘relationship’, she didn’t know. All that mattered was that, with every lesson, their chances of accidentally getting poisoned by Noel were getting significantly lower.

Because most of their classmates were leaving the room after being dismissed, Demi unwillingly overheard the conversation going on between Kalder and Beatrice. She rolled her eyes and made a sour expression as he thanked Bea for her ‘selfless’ help before announcing he was off to his next lesson. And Bea, ever the ‘selflessly helpful one with absolutely [i]no[/i] secret intentions’, immediately offered up her human walking stick services once more.

Demetria scoffed. [color=darkred]“[i]‘I’ll hilp yiuh, I’ll hilp yiuh’[/i]! Wah, wah, waaaaaah!”[/color] she mocked under her breath while placing her belongings inside her bag, making faces as she spoke. [color=darkred]“Give me a fucking break. 'Oh, [i]please[/i], Kalder: can I lick the soil off your boots? I’ll do anything for you if it means you’ll love me [i]forever and ever[/i]'!”[/color]

Unbeknownst to her, Noel had overheard her bitch fit. Without realizing what he was about to do, he shrugged before speaking up. "[color=green]It's a bit sappy for my taste, but they look nice together,[/color]" the young man had admitted as he packed his own bag.

The next sound that was heard across the dungeon was when Demi’s book bag fell off their table, books slipping out of its insides and scattering all over the cold floor. The Gryffindor’s mouth was wide open with shock, eyes nearly-shut slits of fury. He didn’t know it, but Noel had pretty much squeezed a lemon and rubbed salt all over the invisible fresh wounds in her heart. What came after was done out of impulse; a consequence of the young woman acting out of anger without thinking things through.

Demi turned to Noel with a dead-serious look in her face, wand drawn and discreetly pointed at him. [color=darkred]“Noel, I will stick this wand up your ass if you ever say some stupid shit like that again.”[/color] she threatened, sparks flying out of her wand as if backing up that she meant every word she was saying.

Okay. It was time to address the hippogriff in the room. The young blond man looked at her, his eyes wide. "[color=green]What is [i]with[/i] you?[/color]" He was just as annoyed as she was at this point, seemingly losing whatever previous patience he had. "[color=green]You've been acting so hostile I'm starting to think I should properly shield myself in case you decide to attack someone![/color]"

This stopped Demi in her tracks, a bewildered expression on her face. He was right, though. Every time Kalder’s name came up in conversation, she would instantly get hostile, spewing out threats in an attempt to disencourage any further mention of the individual in question. However, this was only managing to do more harm than good. Noel’s patience with her was clearly running low, and his suspicions seemed to only be strengthened by every scene like this. If she really wanted to move on, then she’d have to make the titanic effort to push aside her vengeful, resentful ways and pretend nothing had ever happened. There was also the small fact that, even if it wasn’t anything serious, she didn’t want to screw up what she had with Noel so early in the game. 

This was why Demi took a deep, calming breath before addressing her partner. [color=darkred]“Don’t be such a little bitch! I wasn’t going to, like, [i]actually[/i] do anything to hurt you! Duuuuh!”[/color] she replied back in an effort to tone down the hostility before she bent down to pick her scattered books from the floor.

His blue eyes squinted at her, studying her expression. A look of uncertainty filled his features, his eyes darting from Kalder to Demi. He looked taken aback for a moment as a realization hit him. "[color=green]Are you jealous of Balthazar?[/color]" He asked her.

Demi looked up, stunned and offended by the suggestion of something so insulting -even if it was the truth she so conveniently failed to acknowledge. [color=darkred]“[i]Fuck you[/i], Noel.”[/color] she shot back, standing back up again with her bag in her hand. Even if she ‘didn’t care’, she realized that not adding to her previous statement was pretty much an admission of guilt, which would [i]not[/i] be good- especially in the current circumstances. [color=darkred]“Why on Earth would I be jealous of some desperate, skinny little cu-”[/color] The brunette trailed off as she noticed Kalder approaching her table. 

Oh, fucking [i]great[/i]... 

Once again, she pointedly turned her eyes to her shoes, avoiding to look at the stupidly handsome blond male who now stood in front of them.

"[color=springgreen]Noel,[/color]" Kalder called out to Noel before crossing his arms in front of his chest.

[color=darkred]“Well, looks like they’re requesting you!”[/color] Demi said sarcastically, taking advantage of the distraction to make her swift exit. She would be damned if she was forced to interact with her ex-boyfriend in any sort of way when his stupidly handsome face was more than enough to trigger her. She shot Noel a warning look: her way of silently telling him to keep his mouth tightly shut. Then the brunette risked a cold, haughty glance at Kalder before walking away to get to her next lesson, purposely slamming her shoulder onto the one of that snake that was her ex best friend along the way.
