Amorentia

Chapter 12

Calypso pulled at Nyx's hand as she groaned, complaining about parties.

"I'm an introvert Callie!" Nyx cried, fear rushing through her veins, "introverts don't like parties!"

Calypso laughed, rolling her eyes, "a party is a great place to meet new people and just let loose! Anyways, I'll be there too and you'll have a great time."

Nyx shook her head, "I'll believe it once I see it."

Calypso rolled her eyes again as they stopped in front of the Slytherin door. Abe stood outside and smiled, knocking on the door in a slow pattern.

The door slowly opened and he ushered them in, "I'll see you both inside."

"Thanks Abe," Calypso said before pushing Nyx inside.

Music blared from all directions as students gathered in the centre, dancing.

The beat of the music pounded against Nyx as she followed her sister over to the drink table.

Calypso swayed her hips slightly, humming to the song as she grabbed two red solo cups, filling each up to the brim with a light pink drink.

"You will love this," Calypso breathed, taking a sip. Her eyes closed momentarily before licking her lips.

Nyx stared down at her drink, before taking a small sip. The liquid burned her throat slightly and she coughed, "what is this?"

"Liquid courage," her twin winked, lifting Nyx's cup back up to her mouth, "now drink and let loose!"

Nyx gulped the drink down as her twin lifted the cup further. She coughed as she pulled away, some liquid spilling onto her black lace top.

"Oops," Calypso said, placing their cups down and grabbing a napkin. She dabbed at the small space before taking a step away.

"Good thing you choose the black shirt," Calypso smiled, "sorry, I thought you could've dranken more before needing a breath!"

Nyx laughed, feeling the alcohol swim through her veins. Her worries and fears began to subside as she shrugged, "no worries. You're just trying to help me loosen up!"

Calypso nodded, pouring her another cup. Nyx accepted the drink eagerly, taking a few sips from it.

Calypso leaned into Nyx, "Hydrus is watching you but don't look."

Nyx nodded, trying to catch a look from the corner of her eye. She couldn't see him and she sighed, wondering if she would get drunk enough to talk to him.

She wanted to tell him how she felt and wanted to know how he felt too.

"I see Noah," Calypso gasped, looking at Nyx for a moment, "is it okay if go dance with him?"

Nyx nodded, pushing Calypso towards him. She watched as she stumbled into his arms.

Nyx's watched the two dance effortlessly. They made it look like the beat of the music was moving their bodies in sync and she felt a tinge of jealousy.

Her twin made everything look so easy and she smiled, watching them dance together. They looked so happy and she took another sip of her drink.

"I wish I could dance like that," she breathed, trying to find the rhythm of the song with her hips.

She gave up after a moment as she heard someone laugh behind her. She wasn't sure if they were laughing at her, but decided it was best not to continue dancing.

She breathed slowly, finishing off her second cup and grabbing another.

She watched as a group of students formed in a circle. She stumbled over with her drink, wondering what they were doing.
