December 31

Next day. December 31. Last day of the year.

As usual, my morning was blissful. Cuddles, kisses and whispers of sweet nothings to each other.

Remus had brought me a potion to get sober. The hangover I had- it was horrible.

He even made us breakfast. I felt bad how useless I was this morning, but he reassured me over and over again that it was completely okay.

When it was time for lunch, I was feeling rather okay. Separately, we made our way to lunch. I went first and after five minutes Remus joined.

I made a small conversation with Minerva. We talked about the holiday and the upcoming party what was tonight.

I really fucking hated how Remus always sat next to Vincent. I knew they were colleagues and there was nothing between but. But I had seen the ways how Vincent looks at Remus.

And I felt jealous.

Even now, they were sitting together, talking and laughing.

"Love is a powerful thing"

Everyone looked at Dumbledore as he said it out of nowhere.

"We can never choose who we love. It is very unexpected"

"Albus, what are you talking about?" Minerva asked

Albus looked at him and smiled

"Love is beautiful thing. One of the most beautiful things in this world"

When his eyes snapped at me, I felt my heart dropping. I looked away quickly and furrowed my brows slightly.

"Minerva, do you rem-"

"No!"

I chuckled. I looked at Minerva, oh if looks could kill I would be dead.

The lunch continued normally after that. I tried my best not to look at Remus, even though I saw from the corner of my eye he looked at my way pretty often.

When I was done with eating, I made my way to my dorm. I had quite a few hours before I had to get ready.

I laid in my bed and chose a book to read.

Before I could even open it, an owl tapped on my window. I recognized it immediately.

I let the bird in and gave it a few treats. The owl stayed put what meant it was waiting for an answer.

"Darling,

You seemed really off in the Great Hall. Did I do something that made you upset? If so, tell me what it was.
I hate to see you so sad. Missing that beautiful smile of yours.
I am sorry if I caused you this mood.

I read that letter over and over again, not knowing what to write him back. I wasn't mad at him. I was mad at her and myself.

Mad at her, because she would be so much better for Remus than me. Remus deserves her. She is beautiful, smart, intelligent.

And I am nothing.

I was mad at myself for thinking those things. Remus chose me, and yet, I thought how others suit better than me.

I took a quill and a piece of parchment.

"You didn't do anything. Everything is okay.

Can't wait to see you tonight xx
