The day had been okay, Mattheo was giving whoever gave me weird looks glares, all the while trying his best to make sure I was okay.

Every time he asked, I gave him the same 'I'm okay.' with a smile. I still got a bit jumpy though, whenever someone put their hands near me or made too much of a loud noise.

"So, how was your day?" Angelica smiled fakely.

"Shut the fuck up," I scoffed, annoyed by her presence when she had literally only just sat down. "Jesus, you're a fucking bitch now Syb, ever since you spent 3 months in your room doing whatever shit you've gotten so mean," Dylan rolled his eyes.

"Dylan, shut up before I cut your tongue out, do you know why she was in there? No, you fucking do not. So give it in," Mattheo snapped. I smiled gratefully in return and he nodded.

Dylan shut up and cowered away, stuffing his face with some food. I stared at the food, wondering what I should eat. I got a plate and pulled a few pieces of chicken away with a fork.

"Where's the gravy," I complained. Athena handed me it and smiled. "Thank you, Thena," I grinned back.

She seemed to like the nickname, because she blushed before turning away. "Ay guys, someone's just told me there's a new student joining. Luca Bennett," Dylan announced.

Me and Mattheo shared a confused look. "She had a brother?" I was so confused, maybe he just didn't live in the bit where I killed the whole village.

Mattheo shrugged, adding a sigh before shoving a roast potato in his mouth. Shit? What if he knows I killed his sister. Oh well, I could probably kill him within a second.

"Anyway, apparently he's coming tomorrow night at dinner! So, hopefully he's fit," Athena giggled.

I chuckled along with her, still feeling nervous. I'm sure it will be okay.

Me and Mattheo had fallen asleep last night in my dorm after he was helping me catch up on stuff I'd missed.

In the morning, he woke me up and told me he was going to go to his dorm to get ready, and I should stay here and do the same. I had gotten ready, after taking a while in the shower and using some quick charms to get ready.

"Hello!" Athena greeted as I sat down at the long wooden table. "Hey," I smiled back softly. I took a seat beside Mattheo. Angelica and Dylan were not in sight, which I considered weird.

"I want to go to bed," I yawned, placing a strawberry in my mouth. Mattheo cocked an eyebrow, before shrugging. "Fair enough."

The bell for the first period finally sounded, and me and Mattheo stood up to walk to Potions.

We walked slowly, talking about any drama I had missed. I chuckled as Mattheo ranted about how annoying Angelica was, and he only had to pretend to like her for this stupid task. Eventually, we walked inside the classroom and my teacher seemed happy to see me again. "Glad to see you've come in as yesterday, we were starting to think you'd never return!" Professor Snape said, in a more upbeat mood than I'd ever seen him.

We grabbed the textbook that was necessary, before heading to our seats at the back of the classroom. Angelica was watching us with hawk-like eyes, Dylan sat next to her, engaging in a conversation with Draco Malfoy. I realised how little we'd seen of him, probably since he's so wrapped up in that cabinet task.
