[You frustrate me incredibly]

Sometimes Velda thought a hot shower was the only way to clear her mind and regain her focus. After long hours of Quidditch practise, mixed with a strong amount of rain, her body longed for sleep. But she knew that this wouldn't be happening any time soon when she saw the letter laying on her bed.

She already knew from whom the letter was before she opened it. Velda never received letters except from one person, Regulus Black.

Meet me at the Astronomy tower in ten,

Black

Polite and detailed as always.

Velda groaned and it was only then that she noticed that she wasn't alone in the dorm room. Her roommates, Nadia and Anne sat in one of their beds, the curtains pushed open. Both of them had this irritating smile on their face, Velda liked to think that this was their gossip face, nevertheless the expression always stressed her out.

"Is there something on my face?"

Nadia laughed, "No, we were just wondering what your admirer has written you this time."

"Admirer?" Velda's face scrunched up in disgust at the thought of Regulus being anything else but an absolute asshole to her.

"Yes, your admirer," continued Anne, "It's not like you're in your dorm often but lately you seem to sneak out often late at night."

Velda placed the letter onto her bed and slipped on a jumper, "There's no admirer, there's an annoying peace of shit called Regulus Black who I have to meet up with for Astronomy."

Anne grinned, "Definitely an admirer, you know; a quarrel of lovers is the renewal of love. And you seem to be the perfect example."

Absolutely shocked and confused by this statement, Velda couldn't do much more than simply blink at the girl in horror.

"Well, if I'm honest, I'd sell my soul to see Regulus Black that often alone at night." Nadia let out a dreamy sigh," I mean you'd have to be blind to not notice how handsome this man is! Honestly, I don't understand why you're complaining, I have to do my Astronomy project with Goyle."

Velda gave her a pitiful look, "My condolences and it seems like I'm now blind." She turned around and grabbed her bag before pushing the door open.

"Take a proper look at him, oh especially his eyes! It's like a whole galaxy of-" Nadia's voice was cut of by the slamming of the door, Velda continued to pick up her pace in order to escape these two devils or maybe even the images of Regulus grey eyes that seemed to haunt her- even though she couldn't quite run away from her own thoughts.

In her opinion it was a miracle that she really appeared in front of the doors to the Astronomy tower as she had thought multiple times about simply turning around and hiding in a dark corner where no one would find her rather than actually facing Black.
