I was sitting on the bed in my room and looking at the cat that was lying on my pillow. I understood very well that it was Lilith's cat. He was fluffy, had big ears and big paws. His amber eyes looked straight at me. I sighed. I shouldn't have reacted like that, after all, I will be living in the same room with her. But she herself asked for it. I kept trying to calm myself down, to find an explanation, but I knew that I had behaved badly. My things were still in my suitcases so I picked up my wand and waved it. All things appeared in their places. I'm alone, Enzo hates me, I hate Matheo, I had a fight with my roommate. All these disgusting thoughts came into my head. But at that moment, the door to the room opened and a redhead walked in. But this time she looked at me with a calm, friendly gaze. She came to my bed, sat down and took her cat and placed it on her feet. The cat lay down and closed its eyes.
"Let's try again. I'm Lilith Crooks." The girl sighed and swallowed a lump of saliva. "I apologize for my behavior during the dinner, it was not appropriate for me, it was not my business at all. It's just that Enzo is my best friend and-"
"Everything is fine. And I apologize." I said and looked into her eyes. She smiled.
"I won't pry into your private life, but Enzo doesn't deserve it. Just know this." Silently, she got up from my bed, went to hers and lay down, holding the cat in her hands. "He liked you. Diablo, he usually hates other people."
"And I like him, especially his eyes." I answered. I avoided answering her previous question, I'm not ready yet.
"Berkshire, I hope you have a nice dress because the Slytherin common room is having a party in your honor at midnight and everyone is invited, so surprise everyone." The redhead said cheerfully and winked at me. I raised my eyebrow and she just shrugged.
"Why?" I asked hesitantly. She just laughed and shrugged once more.
"Draco's idea, he must have really missed you." She said and suddenly got up from the bed. "Girl, it's time to get ready and dress up."
I wore a green two-piece suit that clung to my body perfectly, my hair was curly and tied, and my eyes were adorned with a beautiful cat eye eyeliner.

"Oh my fucking god. Berkshire, you are a fucking goddess!" blundered Lilith. She also looked stunning. The short black dress clung to her body perfectly, accentuating her perfect figure, while her red hair fell over her shoulders. Loud music and shouts could already be heard in the common room. A wide smile appeared on Lilith's face.
"Let's go?" she asked as she hurried to the door. I laughed and followed her. Maybe it was a good idea to come back here after all.
I walked into the common room where I smelled weed and alcohol and everyone was dancing and having fun.
"Aurora, you look like I don't even know what to say. All the boys will be yours tonight." Draco said and hugged me over the shoulders. I smiled, but at the same moment he took the blonde from our house and took her to dance.
Without waiting for anything, I took a glass of alcohol and went to the sofa, which was at the very end of the room. Without waiting for anything, I sat down and watched others having fun. At the same moment, I saw Enzo and Mattheo enter the room. Enzo was wearing a white tank top and leather jacket, black jeans, while Matheo was in a black tank top and black jeans. God, he's gotten better in four years. Mattheo and my eyes met, but I quickly averted my eyes from him. I drank the liquid that was in the glass, I felt a thick liquid running down my throat that burned my throat. Vodka. I love vodka. But my peace was ruined by my worst enemy. The sofa next to me caved in, someone sat down next to me. I turned my head to see none other than Matheo Riddle looking me over from head to toe. My blood boiled. He was already drunk, even though he had just come to the party. Probably had been drinking before.
"Dance with me." He said looking into my eyes. I gasped. Did he seriously say that? I started laughing, he looked confused.
"Riddle, are you okay with your head?" I asked, still laughing. He looked displeased. A guy I know well came up to me. George Weasley.
"You look sexy as fuck, wanna dance?" he asked. His eyes were red and his pupils were dilated. He held out his hand and looked straight at me. I turned to Mattheo who was glaring at me.
"Lovely." I said still looking into Mattheo's eyes and took George's hand. He took me to the middle of the room and put his hands on my hips while I moved them to the music. Our bodies were touching, we were so close to each other. I could see that Mattheo didn't take his eyes off me, but it didn't matter to me. I wanted to drink so much tonight that I wouldn't remember anything tomorrow, finally, after four long years of suffering, I can relax.
"Since when are you so passionate?" George asked, whispering in my ear. I just laughed, but didn't say anything. At that moment, my eyes caught Theo, who left the room and went out. Without waiting, I left George alone and went after Theo. I knew exactly where he was going. To the astronomy tower, where we spent almost every evening in the first year.
It was so cold in the tower that every hair on my body stood on end. But this was the moment I wanted to be with Theo.
"You've never been good at going unnoticed." Theo said quietly and blew out a large cloud of smoke. I smiled.
"I know, Theo. But now I want to be with you." I answered even more quietly. Theo turned to me and handed me his cigarette. I shook my head, he shrugged and took another breath of nicotine into his lungs, puffed out the smoke again, and so on several more times before he threw the cigarette out. When he saw me, he took off his jacket and put it on my shoulders.
"Listen Aurora, I love you, but you have to tell someone about it. I don't know about others, but I can't stay ignorant. You have to be honest with me." He was looking into my eyes and I was looking into his. I understood perfectly what he wanted to know, but I didn't know where to start.
"It's hard for me to talk about it Theo. All I can say is that I was kidnapped, straight from my home, tortured, beaten, he-" I felt tears welling up in my eyes." He raped me, did all kinds of things, you know? I didn't want to hurt Enzo... But I don't know how to tell him... Even my father didn't care."
"Who did this?" he said angrily. I could feel his blood boiling. His fist was clenched and his eyes darkened.
"I don't know." I lied. I knew full well their names, where they lived, and everything I would need to destroy them, but I don't want to. Yet. Theo didn't say anything else, he just came closer and hugged me tightly. I could feel his heart pounding. Without waiting for anything, I hugged him as well. We stood like this for a long time, but I liked it. I finally felt something I hadn't felt in a long time, care, warmth, love...
