Some secrets result in happiness. Some secrets result in sadness. But my secret will result to hatred. Hatred that will become deadly.
"I hate you! I don't want to see you ever again! I will kill you the next time I see you!" Mattheo yelled at me, t...

"Clever as the devil and twice as pretty."
The day for the yule ball came, and everyone was excited about it except for Astoria, who was on a different level of excitement. When she knew that the champions with their partners would be making an entrance to the hall like a red carpet event, she insisted on giving me a whole day's worth of preparation.
It all started last night after we came back from dinner. She laid out different types and variations of face masks, eye masks, lip masks, and other body parts that I didn't even know you could put masks on. I immediately ran out of our dorm and hid behind Draco's back when I saw him in the common room.
"Save me," I said with puppy dog eyes, but he only took one look at Astoria, and he moved away. I only glared at him and said 'Whipped.' as Astoria dragged me back to our dorm. She threatened to tell my feelings to Mattheo if I run off again so I behaved and sat on my bed.
Pansy was silently laughing at me as Astoria put a clay mask on my face, neck, and arms. I was slowly turning into a statue as the clay hardens and when I was about to complain, she pushed me to the bathroom where our bathtub was filled with milk. Yes, milk. She told me to rinse off the clay in the shower and soak in the tub for one hour.
After one hour, I went out only for Pansy to run passed me, also with a clay mask all over her body. I thought I was done but Astoria put another sheet mask on my face with an eye mask under it. I was already too tired to complain so I let her do what she want.
Today, it's Pansy's time to pamper me. She insisted on doing my nails even if I can do them myself. Though she allowed me to have my own time with a promise that I will come back 3 hours before the ball.
After what happened with Mattheo last Sunday, we avoided each other like a plague. He leaves the room when I enter and I do the same. Our friends also stopped hanging out with him except Theo and Enzo. I didn't ask them to avoid him but they said he crossed the line. I keep telling myself that this is for the better. That I should use this chance to forget my feelings for him but every time I see him, my heart breaks knowing we are not the same anymore.
I was sitting on a rock near the black lake, basking in the stillness of it when Victor Krum sat next to me. "Hey." He said smiling at me.
"Hey." I glanced at him for a second then went back to admiring the still lake. He didn't say anything for a while and we just enjoyed the peace.
"Great job on the first task, by the way. I was impressed." I told him, breaking the quiet atmosphere. We don't know each other and we only see each other around, but he doesn't give me unpleasant vibes.
"Thanks. I was honestly nervous and afraid of the dragon. It looked like it would swallow me whole when I shot it a spell." He said, shivering visibly. I was surprised to hear that as he always walks with a confident and brave aura around him.
