Belinda had snuck back into her room successfully and in the morning Pansy and Draco packed for home.

"My parents said I can stay with you Belinda..."

"Yay."

"Watch her for me yeah? My dad will bring me back next week." Draco said.

After a few days, Belinda threw snowballs at Astoria who tried to read her book in peace. They were out on the courtyard and the grounds were beautiful. She had told her friend the truth about that night Blaise hit her in front of everyone. Astoria of course didn't approve, but it was as if hitting Blaise back brought the real Belinda back. She started speaking her mind a lot more which Blaise didn't like, but he was more cautious around her.

When the two of them walked back to the common room Belinda decided she'd go see how Blaise was doing. She hadn't seen him since last night which was odd since he was always at her door in the morning. Once she got to his door it was locked. And then she heard it. Another girl's moans from the inside. She chuckled to herself before melting the knob with her now flamed hand. Now she was really back. Her flames were as powerful as ever.

She kicked the door open and Blaise jumped to his feet. Belinda looked inside and there was a blonde fourth year Ravenclaw girl, shaking under his sheets.

"Belinda-"

"Shut up. I'm here to tell you that I'm done. There's nothing you can say or do to change that. I'll be civil towards you but I want nothing else to do with you."

She walked away even though he called out to her. It made her feel like a giant weight was taken off her shoulders, but she also felt.... Shitty? Was she not enough for him in bed?

"Hey Severus..."

"Morning."

She shut the door to his class and sat near his desk. He was polishing his cauldrons.

"Can I ask you something?"

"You just did."

He seemed extra annoyed and she didn't know if she had done something or not.

"Are you mad at me?"

"Mad? No. Just disappointed to see you were still with Zabini even after his outburst the other day."

"Actually I just broke up with him a few minutes ago."

"Good."

"Do you want me to leave? You're so snappy."

"No.... Im glad you understand you deserve better."

"I don't know ..... I caught him this morning in bed with someone else."

He looked at her and saw her head tilted backwards. She was trying not to let her tears out.

"Belinda... no man is worth your tears I promise you that."

"Ive just been in a very dark place most of the year."

"I know." He sat down next to her and she wiped her tears away. "You're one of the brightest witches of your age. Not to mention powerful. You don't need any man's approval to know you are worth so much."

"Your approval is always nice though." She said as she laid her head on the desk. He admired how confident she was again. She had grown into such a beautiful woman. He never ever thought of her in any other way other than a student and friend. However he missed her company when she isolated herself starting this year. He could never think of anyone else like Lily. Right? Plus she was his student, completely inappropriate.

"Im hungry. We should go to the three broomsticks for lunch."

"Highly doubt Umbridge would like to see that."
