"What do you mean it's been opened again?" Oliver was pacing back and fourth in our dormitory, one hand on his hip and the other massaging his eyebrows.

It was now public to the school that Colin had been petrified, but only Harry and I knew about what Dumbledore said, so naturally I immediately went and told all my close friends.

"I mean this has happened before! Do you not remember, fifty years ago the Chamber was supposedly opened and a girl died." I huffed, getting slightly annoyed at how much Oliver wasn't listening.

The twins noticed I was getting tense and both placed a hand on my shoulders to ease me, earning an eye roll from Oliver.

"Right, yeah I remember now. Who do you guys suppose did it all those years ago? My money is on Lucius, bet it's his son doing it now too." Oliver smiled proudly thinking he had figured it out.

I slammed my head down on the desk and breathed out heavily, "Oli baby, no. It can't be Malfoy, if it was, he would've opened it last year. It has to be a first-year, I'm sure of it."

I lifted my head and propped it on my folded arms, looking at my defeated boyfriend who had stopped pacing and was now leaning over the table.

"I mean it could still be him though Sav. No need to be bitchy." Oliver shouted before flinging his backpack onto his back and storming out the room, probably heading to the pitches.

Once again my head met the table, the twins both leaning back in their chairs and sighing.

"I have a plan," Hermione said bursting into the room with a book in her hand, the trio sitting across from us.

《☆•●•♡ time skip ♡•●•☆》

"Do you think it'll actually work?" George asked after they had finished explaining.

"It's risky but if we pull it off, I think it could definitely work." Hermione said, her chest out slightly as she beamed proudly.

It was better than any plan the twins and I could come up with, "The thing is though, how many more kids are going to be petrified, or even killed, before it's finished brewing." My hands rubbed roughly against my temple.

"That's the risky part." She sighed, her posture drooping slightly and her eyes gazing towards us all worriedly before her Ron and Harry all got up to start on the potion, I assumed.

Now that it was just Fred, George and I, I decided to confront them about Oliver and his recent behaviour. Surely it wasn't just me who thought he was acting differently.

Like I thought, they both agreed with me, he had been a lot more angry and moody with me at the moment and he would snap even when I didn't do anything. That then in turn caused me to snap and it was a vicious cycle of endless arguing, both of us always angry at the other but neither one of us wanting to confront each other about it, knowing it could only end badly.

"I seriously think you should talk to him." George consoled me.

"Yeah....I know. I just know that if I do it will end in a break up." My fingers intertwined in my messy hair and I slid down on the sofa.

Fred's uniform looked almost as messy as mine did, top buttons undone, ties barely tied, shirts untucked. He just dropped down on the chair next to his brother putting his feet up on the coffee table, not saying a word but instead just watching the flames flicker.

"I told you you're a trouble causer Savannah." He smirked, still watching the flames.

I scoffed, grabbing a pillow and playfully hitting him with it. Big mistake. What started out as playful banter had now turned into a full on 2v1 pillow fight, me against the twins. It was the first time any of us had really let loose since coming back and it was nice to forget about everything, even if it was just for a little while.

Obviously that time was cut very short when Oliver came bursting back into the room, barging past the twins and kissing me ferociously. Not knowing how to react, I pushed him away making him stumble back a few steps.

"No, you don't get to call me bitchy and then just come back and kiss me Oliver! It doesn't work like that." I said, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand and storming up to my dorm room.

"Yeah well it not like the kiss was nice anyway, too full of hatred!" He shouted up after me, thinking it would hurt me.

I leant over the banister looking down at him laughing, "Hatred? So you hate me now then? Good to know Oliver, good to know."

His words stung slightly but they didn't hurt like they were intended too, they only proved my point further that he and I were not going to work out.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, running up the stairs towards me, "I really am, I'm just really stressed at the moment and got a lot on my mind. I shouldn't have taken it out on you."

"Oli..." I looked down towards my shoes.

"No, please. I don't want us to break up. You're the best thing that's happened to me in a really long time and I can't lose you Savannah, I can't." Tears were staring to fall down his cheeks, which in turn made me start to cry.

"I'm sorry, I just....give me some time to think?" I pleaded.

He nodded his head, letting go of my hands as I walked into my dorm room. There was no way it was salvageable at this point, I knew that deep down, but my heart wouldn't let me end it. My body fell limply onto my bed, hands resting on my stomach as I stared at the ceiling, I knew what I had to do, I just couldn't muster up the balls to go through with it.
