TW : mentions of rape

The very next day, Theo apologized for what he did. After Adriana's shower, she left to go to Pansy's for the rest of the day. Coming back, Adriana decided to forgive Theo for what he did. He was drunk. And she understood. Adriana also thought she was to blame to because she didn't put a stop to it.

Another reason she decided to forgive him was because she knew that he's the only person who is actually here for her as of right now. Ever since the break up, he's been there.

He was there whenever she fell asleep, and still was everytime she woke up. It felt nice to have him at her home. She felt safe with him around.

Adriana did keep her distance from him though, whenever he drank.

What she did was a little forgive and forget.

Would she ever do the same to Cedric?

Speaking of him, he's been absolutely miserable without her.

He missed her little random stories and scenarios she'd come up with at night before they went to bed.

The way she would play with his hair. Read to him.

He missed the way his heart would beat around her.

How warm his face would get when Adriana said his name.

The way she said his name.

He missed the way she would get super defensive over a small joke, then laugh about it later.

He missed her small talk.

He missed hearing her heartbeat.

He missed everything.

He missed her, so much.

Cedric was happy to call Adriana his.

"But I had to go and fuck it up." he finished writing the letter.

The letter wasn't going to Adriana, no.

It was going to Pansy, she's been trying to help him out with this whole thing. Over the months that Adriana has been at Hogwarts, Pansy became really close with her. Closer than she has been with anyone else. But she was also pretty good friends with Cedric.

She's helping him mainly because she hates seeing Adriana with someone else who wasn't Cedric. Pansy knew she loved him, and always would.

It's becoming a bother that not only is Adriana messing with someone else, but that someone else is Theo. There wasn't a place in Pansy's heart for Theo, as a lover, a friend, or even an acquaintance.

She hated him with every atom and cell in her body.

There's no exact reason why.

It's just him.

As a person, his presence.

It rocked her to her core.

Cedric sent out his letter to Pansy. Around thirty minutes later, she got it and wrote back;

Don't worry too much about Theo, soon, he won't be a problem. And what you did? Yes it was incredibly fucked up. But don't try to see her as much as you have been, she might think you're desperate.

Also, there's something you need to do.

Actually, there's a list of things you need to do Cedric...

"Get rid of Laila, for one." she told him.

Cedric sighed, "Don't you think I've been trying to do that?"

Pansy laughed, "You fucking haven't! Are you using her Cedric? Are you only fucking her to feel something—"

"Sex doesn't even feel right with her." he shrugged.

"Then stop having sex with her."

Cedric nodded, "You're right." he said, "Does Adriana know I'm talking to you about this?"

Pansy rolled her eyes, "She almost found out yesterday! She come over the other day and as soon as she came in, so did your letter— She asked me who it was from but I picked it up before she could read the name."

"She came here and you didn't tell me?!"

Pansy pressed her lips together and slapped Cedric, he winced in response. "Ouch!"

"That's the shit i'm talking about! Stop trying to be so worried and caught up about what she's doing and where she is. What she is not doing is talking to you, trying to forgive you. She's not listening to you and what you have to say— I mean I'm not saying she should because what you did was fucked but," she sighed deeply,

"Adriana should at least give you a chance. But you aren't going to get that chance unless you give up Laila because honestly, that's who she really cares about. Laila. To Adriana, Laila is some whore you had sex with because you were bored and—"

"I'm not a fucking whore."

Pansy and Cedric turned their heads to the direction of the voice, "How the hell did you get in here?!" they both said.

"I pick locks."

Pansy ran her fingers through her hair and ran her tongue across her cheek, "I'm going to kill— I'm going to kill that bitch." she said to Cedric as she pointed at Laila, "She's fucking dead."

"Hey I heard Theo raped Adriana yesterday, is that true, Pansy?"

There was a silence between the three of them. Cedrics heart dropped, "What?" his voice was faint, "Pansy— Pansy did you know about this?"

Pansy took a deep breath, "Theo didn't rape Adriana." she lied, "They just had a small argument—"

"Don't lie to poor Cedric, hasn't he suffered enough? I mean, with the break up and everything.."

"You did that to them." Pansy spat.

Laila laughed, "And that's where you're wrong, Cedric decided to make moves as we got deeper into the little affair." she shrugged, "He could've stopped it to begin with, but he didn't. He would tell me how Adriana wouldn't give it to him. God I'm so glad I listened to Cho about this, you do know how to make women feel good, guilty, and terrible."

Cedrics blood began to boil, not just from Laila's words, but from Pansy's lie.

"Laila, get out." he said in a serious manner, "And whatever we have is done."

Laila groaned, "Ugh! The amount of times you've said that, but where did you go next? Nowhere. You came crawling back to me. Like a little fucking dog."

"Leave."

The woman that stood before them shrugged and pulled something out of her bag,

Pansy's eyes widened, "How did you—?"

"Does this crown look familiar?"
