Chapter Five: Firewhisky and Tampons

Placing the pink stick back in its cup, Draco then picked up the oddly shaped cotton balls in the bright cardboard box she had left by the sink.

Tampons. Extra absorbent.

What the fuck was a tampon?

The shiny cylindrical thing didn’t seem absorbent to him. He thumbed the edges, finding the transparent material coating the object peeled away, revealing the tightly woven cotton beneath.

A string dangled down from it, which Draco picked up, finding he could slip his index finger underneath the knot tied at the end.

How in Merlin’s name was this shit supposed to be used?

He tentatively began to swing the thing around, whirling it in circles until it became a blur of white. He’d hoped spinning it would activate it somehow, but the moment he stopped it just hung limply from his finger.

Draco read the title on the box again, taking note of its apparent absorption properties.

“Suitable for heavy flow” he read out loud.

Flow of what?

Understanding jolted him forward and he hurried to turn on the tap. The clear stream sprayed down into the sink, and he thrust the thing under the water. Under the flow.

Merlin, he was a genius.

This one was a nail biter

Yes, my friends are a bit eccentric, but that's how we were born. We can't win the "Cuties of the Year" contest. Do I wish people didn’t see us as monsters? Sure, I do. But life has dealt us such cards, we play by its rules.

Almost every single question Ben asked was heavily, heavily loaded and the potential to be a disaster. He was pushing indirectly for a particular answer the whole time, and the more times he got denied, he got more bitter about it…. like holy hell that a mess on four wheels. God bless Liam for taking the brunt of it, and god bless the rest of them for all the shade
