Dandelions (D.M.)

Chapter Two

After the meeting was finished I walked back to my room to finish packing my trunk so that we could head back to Hogwarts.

"Lex wait up!" said a voice coming from behind me.

I turned to see Theo running up to me to catch up. I stopped and turned, once he got close enough I embraced him into a hug.

"Hey how was summer?" I asked after we broke apart from the much needed hug.

"Oh you know same as every other summer, my parents pretty much sent me to Malfoys after the first week. Father said there was no point in me staying home seeing as though all of our meeting would take place there. Speaking of, why weren't you at any of them?" He asked with furrowed brows.

"Oh um-" I began trying to come up with a reason even though I had no clue there were meetings. Why wasn't I made aware of this? My father, the Dark Lord himself didn't tell me or Matheo about these meetings.

"The Lord said that you were completing a few tasks for our assignments." He continued.

"Ah yes, the assignments. I was um prepping some stuff for them." I said as confidently as possible.

"So did you find the vanishing cabinet?" He asked.

The vanishing cabinet for our assignment. The hell was I supposed to say, clearly I have no possible clue where it is in that bloody school but I can't say that.

"Well I haven't been able to look in the school obviously, but I've mapped out each corridor and have a few ideas of where it could be." I said completely bull-shitting him at this point.

"Awesome well hopefully that will make it slightly easier." He said excitedly. 

We both walked into my room and he hesitantly looked around.

"Looks a lot different than it did last school year." He says with a nervous laugh.

Ahh yes, last year when I brought my more repetitive hookups back to my actual room. What a stupid idea. The thing about Theo and I is there were clearly feelings there but we were both too afraid to admit it, so instead we would just hookup from time to time. Which neither one of us were complaining about.

"Yep rearranged it over the summer decided it needed a redo, not the same girl I was last year." I said cooly. 

The thing is who I was the beginning of 4th year is literally the complete opposite of who I am now. Who do I have to thank for that? Adrian fucking Pucey. That excuse of a witch and I had been dating since the middle of our second year. That was my first real relationship and let me tell you. It was absolute shit.

Adrian was extremely bipolar he would go from extremely sweet and flowering me with compliments to pushing and shoving me around telling me that I was a whore because I had sex. Me then didn't see the issue with that and I thought it was love. When other people found out about what was happening behind closed doors they told me over and over that I needed to leave before it got worse. They said this multiple times but nobody understands how hard it is to leave when you are so unbelievably in love and you're under the impression that this is what love is. Although if anyone showed any attention at all to 2nd and 3rd year me I immediately was attached to them seeing as though my parents never did. 

Beginning of 4th year had come around  we arrived a t hogwarts and I was hanging around with my friends like I did all of the time, Adrian came around the corner and saw us all laughing and smiling and he tried to pull me away from the group and when he did I tripped over a bag that someone had left and smacked my head on the staircase. When I woke up in the hospital wing I expected him to apologise because he always did after he hurt me. Instead he was nowhere to be found, instead Theo was sitting beside me holding my hand. When he realized I was awake he got up and gave me a hug and told me that Adrian was suspended for the school year due to his behavior. I wrote him a letter later that day telling him that we were over and iz never wanted to see him again. 

With that being said I know that I ended the relationship but I was still very hurt, but with being the daughter of Voldemort comes being taught Occlumency at a young age. So that's what I did. I forgot and I pushed all of the anger and hurt somewhere I couldn't find. Then I changed everything about myself.

"Well it looks great Lex." Theo said with a smile, snapping out of my thoughts.

"Yeah thanks, um do you want to help me pack?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Yeah sure what else do you need." He asked walking closer to me.

Everytime I thought he couldn't get any closer he proved me wrong. We were practically touching and because he towered over me I had to look up to see his eyes. But his eyes.... goddd his eyes I had to hurry and look somewhere else. I saw a shirt hanging on a chair across the room and decided to look at that while I remembered what I needed help with. 

His hand made it way to my chin before slowly tilting my head up to his.

"Tell me what you want Lex." He whispered. I swear to you I almost choked on my breath.

"Should I start with your clothes?" He whispered again. I felt a chill run up my spine as I fought for words. This has never happened. Nobody catches me off guard ever.

"Uh-yeah, there's a pile over on my bed, I'll grab my shower stuff." I said quickly before turning and heading for the bathroom and shutting the door. I sat on the ground to recollect myself and I heard him laugh quietly. Two can play this game. 

I quickly grabbed all of my bathroom supplies from the bathroom before returning to the room. I walked up to him and attempted to put my stuff on the bed but "accidentally" dropped one of them right in front of him. Before he could bend down and pick it up I was already bending over directly in front of him. Just when I had gotten to my knees I looked in front of me right where his belt was back at him and then smirked. 

His breathing was a little shaky but not good enough. So I grabbed the bottle and got back up turned around and start putting my stuff in my trunk. 

Another bottle fell to the floor.

"Damn it." I muttered before bending only at the hips this time making my backside come in contact with his front. I moved my hips just enough to where he'd feel it grabbed the bottle threw it in the trunk closed it and walked away. 

"Thanks for helping!" I said with a smile and a wink. I grabbed my trunk and walked out leaving him there.
