It's a weird and heartbreaking when something that used to bring calmness and tranquility turns in to some thing that now scares you.

Walking around in the rain used to be my favorite thing with light thunder rumbling in the sky. Splashing around in the puddles and watching the rain fall. The sound of the rain drops on the roof and watching it run off the leaves of the trees and pedals of flowers.

The smell of fresh rain the morning after and all the dew drops all over. The plants all getting hydrated and looking alive. 

Now, it brings back bad memories and hearing it makes my heart pound and race. Feelings of being smothered and lungs not getting enough air.  My sides hurt, a migraine takes over my brain.

It rains a lot  here in Scotland.

"Oh damn, that's a big dog," Pansy says as  Krum dodges out of the way from getting burnt alive. I look over at her weirdly as she staring at Krum as he gets the golden egg.

"Pans, do I need to get you to a healer? That's not a dog," Blaise says  as he moves up to sit with her. She looks at him exasperated, she opens her mouth to talk then stops and stands up to cheer for Krum.

A jacket is draped over my shoulder and then someone pulling me to their side. I put my head on his shoulder as I watch Harry Potter go into the stadium to face his dragon. I flinch as Potter almost gets squashed by the tail, he points his wand up in the sky and says something. Nothing happens, then suddenly a broom comes flying straight to his head. 

Merlin, how fucking dumb can Gryffindors get? That whole performance was a bit dramatic, I would say.

"Wow, that was something," Theo says as we walk back into the school for dinner. I nod as I pull his jacket around me more and cross my arms over my stomach. 

"This jacket is comfy Theo, it's mine now," I look up at him with a smirk and he just scoffs and nods at me as we sit down in the great hall. Dumbledore says a speech that I don't pay attention to and then the food shows up on the table.

I fill my goblet up with water, then take one of the French pastries that they have set out. Apparently they have made and put out new food because Beauxbatons and Durmstrang is here and the headmaster wants his students to try new foods. The four Slytherins are having a conversation with each other next to me, as I take small bites out of the pastry. 

There's a kiss placed on my left temple as someone new sits next to me and puts more food on my plates. I lift my head up and glare at my oldest friend as he just smiles at me. He says greeting to the slytherins as they turn to wave at him. He turns back at me and tilts his head, as I'm still glaring at him.

I raise one eyebrow and sharply turn my head so that I'm looking at Theo on my right. Darcy scoffs as let's his head fall onto my back.

"Do you know when the next task is?" I ask Pansy as I take a sip of my water. 

"No, I don't but apparently the egg is the clue to the next one. It makes a ugly noise when it's opened," She says as she graciously stuffs food in her mouth. 

"It sounds like you when you talk Ozanne," Malfoy says as he reached out to refill his cup with Pumpkin juice.  I have my wand on my lap, so I lift it a bit and say a spell so that the pumpkin juice spills on Malfoy instead of getting into his cup. Darcy laughs from beside me as I turn to act like I didn't do it. "Can't you just take your hufflepuff lover and leave us Ozanne?" Malfoy says as he takes his wand to clean up the juice that was spilled.

"No, I quite like it here, thank you." I take a bite out of another pastry that Darcy put on my plate earlier. Since I haven't seen him that much since we got here, I tune out the slytherin and talk to Darcy about things that have been going on. 

I can tell, he can tell somethings off with me but I always swerve the conversation before it can get anywhere. We started joking about the champions and how they performed the first task and make predictions on who is going to win.

"I don't think Fleur is going to make it far," Darcy nods his head in agreement. "She did fine but she just seems so jittery and nervous and that getting in the way of the performance." We continue talking about what we think is going to happen until he ask the question I was dreading.

"So, do you have a date to the ball?" He ask while smirking at me. I freeze up a bit before relaxing my shoulders. 

"Yeah, um, Jason's my date." Darcy laughs and pats my back.

"He's a good one, he's not too bad looking," he says with a dreamy look in his eye. I flinch back a bit and start to scowl before realizing I have to act exited for the ball. I gulp and nod my head with him as if in a agreement.

The breeze was light in my hair as I walk down the street of Hogsmeade, it was a very pretty site in autumn. I was walking towards a sketchy side street where someone said there was a drug store.

The seventh year that I asked said it had some muggle items but mostly filled with potions and wizard stuff. She said that the street had mostly closed stores on it and mostly muggle born students go there for the muggle items they have. I check my surroundings before turning and heading down the street. It was pretty easy to find since all the other stores are closed down. 

The door was hard to open and when I pushed it open there was a dingy bell that sounded. The store was old and probably hasn't been cleaned in a week but there was a lot of stuff in here. 

"Muggleborn?" I jump and turn around to see a man in his, at least, late 50's behind a the counter. He absolutely reeked of alcohol and had short  greying hairs, he had a large nose and a big beard.

"No, I actually came to see if you sold cigarettes?" I ask as I take a few steps toward him. He hums and looks me up and down for a second then turns around to a few boxes behind him. 

"How many packs?" He ask still going through the boxes. 

"Three would be good," I say as he takes a box and puts it up on the counter. He pulls out a pack of half a dozen packs. 

"Here, I'll give you these six so I don't have to open the wrapper and then put the rest up on the shelf." My eyes widen and I look at up him, he just shrugs at me and places them on the counter. "I'll charge you for the three packs you want and the rest are free."  

"Wow, thank you so much," I say as I pull out my coin purse and hand him the money. I put the packs in my purse then say good bye and walk out the door.
