Part 28: Vic's Tears

After about 3 hours in the cold rain someone came to my side, my eyes were blurred from the rain on my long eyelashes so I couldn't tell who it was.

"Hey." Vic said from my side, he seemed depressed about something so I did the one thing that would make him feel better. I gave him a bear hug making him laugh "Come on in Lottie, it's pouring with rain and your soaked to the bone." He said standing up and pulling me along in the process.

"Okay okay!" I said skipping back inside with water dripping off my robes. "I will meet you in the Gryffindor common room in like 10 minutes!" I shout then bolt up the stairs before he can say anything else. As soon as I get through the portrait hole in pulled into a bone-crushing hug.

"Hermione..I..need..air...please!" I choked and she reluctantly let go, as both laughed but she soon looked at me seriously.

"I'm really annoyed at you Charlotte!" Uh oh full name "Your drenched and now so am I! Come on let's change before we get hypothermia." I rolled me eyes but followed her to our room anyway.

I changed into dry robes and dried my hair with the hair dryer soot is in its natural curls down to my waist. I made my way back to the common room to see Vic there with tears brewing in his eyes. Can I just say that I have never seen Vic cry, only once when something terrible happened but I won't go into details.

"Vic what's wrong?" I asked calmly sitting next to him on the chairs by the warm fire. He looked at me and smiled.

"You are staying here this summer Lottie, you're not coming back with me. Dumbledore said something about needing to train you to learn to control something or other." He said with a tear streaking down his cheek "I mean I know you were away last summer but this time you'll never be coming back because your going to live with Harry and his horrible family. I don't want that for you, your like my sister that I have to take care of."

I stare at him dumbfounded, I'm never living with him again? I'm living with the Dursleys? The people who make Harry's life a living nightmare!

"Don't worry Vic, we can still talk and I can visit you." I said in a hushed voice because otherwise I think I would of burst into tears. I hate crying, I see it as weakness.

"Yeah I'm sure you will," he laughed "Just promise me you won't do anything to get you into trouble! I mean your under aged and the Dursleys may push you over the edge but please keep it calm."

"I'll try." I replied with a shrug and a smirk.

"That wasn't a promise."

"I can't promise something that may or may not happen."

"Smartarse!"

"I know I'm smart don't need to remind me."

"You're so annoying Lottie!"

"Aww so are you ikle Vikle!"

"Oh no you don't! You promised you would never call me that again!"

"Just did ikle Vikle."

As soon as the word left my mouth I regretted them but I just let out a massive laugh. He is so easily annoyed which just makes me find him funnier.

"Lottie Sat On A Pottie and have a Pooie!" Vic chanted making me smack his arm.

"Viktor! You promised you would sing that again. It wasn't my fault I hade a bad stomach and had to sit on the potty all day!"

"Oh well, dinner is on now. Shall we go grab some food?" He asked standing up and brushing himself down for some reason. I got up and walked out with him, thinking about my friends. Where did Hermione go?

We get to the great hall in record time because I challenged him to a race plus we had to run or the stairs would of changed while we were on it. I looked around and saw Ron, Hermione, Harry, Fred, George and Neville sitting together.

"See you later Vic!" I shouted as he walked towards the Slytherin table which is where all his school mates are. I walked up to my gang and sat down in between Ron and Neville.

"Hey wassup guys?" I asked grabbing a piece of chicken and a glass of pumpkin juice. They all looked at me with smirks plastered on their faces. Hermione leaned over and whispered.

"Hottie Cedric staring at you!"

I look around to find him on the Hufflepuff and indeed he is looking at me. I rolled my eyes and poked my tongue at him playfully, he just raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"How are you guys?" I asked turning back to them.

"Good." Fred and George chorused making me stifle a laugh. I love it when they talk in time with each other.

"Hungry." Ron replied with a chuckle, I just pointed at him and rolled my eyes.

"You, Ronald Weasley, eat more than you can chew." I said making him playfully glare at me.

"I heard your living with the dursleys for the summer." Harry said casually but I could tell he was exited.

"Yeah but I got to stay with this really annoying boy who lives with them, he is horrid little boy who has a scar on his head. You may know him, he goes by the name of Harry." I said keeping a serious look in my face but it was hard.

"Oh ha ha ha Lottie!" He said with a fake laugh "I hope you have so much fun with this.. this disgusting boy called Harry."

After a few moments silence we all burst into fits of laughter. I can't believe we just did that!
