The Pieces

Poker Face

Ophelia Pov:

I locked myself up in my dorm, thinking of ways I could murder both of them legally, but before I could come up with a good plan, there was a knock on my door.

I stayed quiet.

"Ophelia! It's me!"

I recognized the voice almost instantly. It was my sister, Fleur.

But that wasn't right. She's supposed to be in England. She had begun working at Gringotts last summer.

I opened the door confused.

"Ophelia!" She hugged me. Her sweet fragrant perfume made me feel at home. I felt like weeping in her arms, but the last thing I would want is to worry her.

So I put on a smile and asked, "What brings you here?"

She sat down on my bed and put my hand in hers, "Well, I just missed my little baby sister and wanted to see her"

"Haha very funny, now tell me why you're really here"

"Okay okay. Well, mama and papa thought it would be...it would be... " She began nervously

"Spit it out Fleur," I said impatiently

"They thought it would be better if they sent you to Hogwarts. Now you don't have to say yes, because I already know you wouldn't want to leave your friends beh-"

"I'll go!" I blurted.

She looked up at me confused. "What about Amora, Elliot, and all your other friends?"

"I... I missed you so much and if staying at Hogwarts meant I'd be closer to you, then I'll happily leave everything behind." I lied

She burst out laughing as I just stared at her. I was expecting her to be touched by what I had just said, not this.

"I wasn't joking," I said rolling my eyes

"I'm sorry Oafy," she said while trying to stop herself from breaking into another round of laughter. "That was just very cheesy."

"Well then, you better start getting packed up. I'll come back here tomorrow to pick you up" she continued.

And I was alone once again.

Was that all? 5 years of friendship and love all destroyed in a day. Tomorrow I'd be leaving for England and I'll just imagine this all to be one long nightmare.
