Love of my life

Chapter 14

✨️ Time skip to after dinner ✨️

How bad was that punch?! Merlin's beard! He hasn't come back. Did he really ditch me? Everyone exits the great hall, leaving me to my thoughts. I need to give him a piece of my mind! I stand up abruptly and storm out the great hall to look for him.

It doesn't take long to find him. However, he's not alone, he's with Valentine. I look at Valentine and give him the look, the are you ok? Do you need help? He gives me the I'm fine look.

"Are you guys telepathic or something?" Lestrange asks.

"No, we can simply just read facial expressions." I roll my eyes. "Lestrange, I don't appreciate you walking out on me for the rest of the dinner," Valentine looks at him and gives him a questioning look.

"I don't have to tell you anything mon cheri" Lestrange replies.

"When did you get so good at French?" I replied, taken aback.

"I'm a man of many languages. For example, I know French, Italian, Spanish, Irish, German, Russian and of course English. You see I am prestigious unlike you,"

Damn, I don't think this is Lestrange. He's not competent enough to know all those languages. As I'm about to respond he storms off. "I'll see you later Clar," Valentine says as he tries to catch up to Lestrange or whoever that was.

What the fuck. I'm so confused. As I'm walking back to the common room I try to feel my dagger. The one I've become accustomed to taking everything. It's not there though. I stop in my tracks. Where is it? Did it fall onto the floor of the great hall? I run back rather quickly. I open the doors and see Lestrange and Beverly.

I look all around the floor when it catches my eye. It's in Lestrange's hands. "c'est quoi ce bordel" is my immediate thought.

They both look up at me, Lestrange looks taken aback while Beverly looks discombobulated. "Chéri! Que faites-vous ici?!" Lestrange says in very poor French. He definitely is not the person I was talking to.

"Qu'est-ce que je fais ici? !Je cherche ça!" I say pointing at the dagger in his hand.

"Uh oui?" He responds hesitantly. This dumb ass.

"Give me my dagger back!" I say pointing at the dagger again.

"Oh" he says, handing it back to me. I give him a curious look. I look at him and he is now trying to get off of Beverly.

"Are you shagging Beverly?" I ask curiously.

"No I'm trying to ki- I mean I'm trying to sober her up,"

"By going on top of her?"

"Uh yeah I'm trying to see how drunk she really is" he clears his throat.

"By taking advantage of her" I ask gobsmacked.

"Now who said that?! She came onto me! Darling, you know I would never deceive you!" He says trying to convince me.

"Whatever, bonne nuit." I say walking away.

"Wait! I don't have my pamphlet on me! What does that mean!?" I just ignore him as I continue walking away.

As I walk to my dorm my thoughts are on my strange encounter with Lestrange. Why did he have my dagger? Even if he was holding it, he could have placed it in his pocket. And did I hear him almost say kill? Or was it a kiss?

Valentine did say that girls disappeared. It makes me wonder...
