Hysteria

chapter 6

                  The next morning.

I woke up feeling like I was hungover when I wasn't. The pounding sensation on my head got worse when I got up from my bed. I made my way to the shower and jumped in. I cleansed myself then just stood there in the water. A couple of minutes go by and I finally get out of the shower to just sit on my bed wrapped in a towel. I don't understand why I feel this way. Was it because of last night? Maybe I'm just worn out and stressed because of it. I threw on a pair of grey sweatpants and a black crop top, then threw my hair up into a messy bun. And I didn't put on any makeup today, I just brushed my eyebrows and curled my eyelashes with the lash curler. I slipped my slippers on and grabbed my wand and headed down for breakfast.

As I walked into the Great Hall I got stares from a lot of people- most likely because of what happened last night. But I don't give a fuck they can stare all they want.

As I started finishing up Luna came up to me.

"Hi Y/n" She said with a small smile.

"Hi Luna" I said as I finished my orange juice.

"How are you doing?" She questioned.

"I'm doing good," I lied.

"Are you asking because of last night?" I asked her.

"Yes" She said.

"Well thank you for the concern but I'm fine" I said softly.

Shortly after I stand up and leave the Great Hall to go to the Black Lake where I can sit and let my mind wander. But before I start my way there I stopped at my dorm and threw on some more appropriate clothing for this weather. I put on a black long sleeve turtleneck dress with black tights underneath and some brown heel boots with a brown coat. I let my hair down and make it look somewhat presentable. I grabbed a book and my wand and headed out.

On my way to the Black Lake I stopped for a couple of minutes and talked to Neville Longbottom, he told me that he gave luna a plant to give to me.

  As I got closer to the Black Lake I saw a figure standing there. Once I got close enough I saw it was a boy. Then not even a moment later the boy turned around. It was Mattheo. At this point I'm not even surprised. I looked at him for a moment- he looked good. He was wearing a black coat with a black button up shirt that was tucked into his black pants with a belt and had black dress shoes on.

"Why are you so dressed up?" I asked him.

"I'm not," He said.

"Why are you?" He said as he looked me up and down.

"Well I'm not" I said as I looked at myself. He looked at me as he rolled his tongue on the inside of his cheek.

"What?" I questioned.

"That was quite a stunt you pulled last night, you know that?" He stated as he put his hands in his pockets.

"He deserved it, you of all people should know that" I said as I crossed my arms.

"I'm not saying he didn't, all I'm trying to say is that I didn't expect you to do that. I'm pretty sure no one did" He said.

"Why did it surprise you that I could do such a thing?" I asked him as I raised my left eyebrow.

"Because I can't see you hurting someone without feeling shitty about it afterwards" He said.

"I still don't get it," I said. He walked up to me then walked behind me and whispered into my ear.
