I GOT BACK TO Hogwarts late at night but I didn't go to my dorm. I was still a crying mess. Not wanting to face my father, I apparated back to Hogwarts from my bedroom. I snuck into the kitchen, stealing the hidden alcohol and made my way to the big tree by the Black Lake. I drank the bottles as if it were pumpkin juice and I pulled out my phone.

I tossed my phone on the grass next to me and tugged my knees closer to my chest. Sobs shook my body as I drank endlessly. Leslie was right. And I hated it. I hated her. I hated myself. I licked my salty tears and threw the empty bottle of whiskey next to me. I had nearly finished every bottle.

"Snow." I lifted my head and tried to force my blurry eyes to focus on the figure before me. "What are you doing out here so late?" I mumbled a bunch of words but even I didn't understand them. "What?" The figure asked. I reached out but they were father than I thought so I fell to my side. "Snow. Get up." I reached for another bottle, it was a red wine.

"Who you?" I slurred, propping myself up on my elbows.

"Mattheo. Get up." I felt his hands under my arms as he pulled me to my unsteady feet. "I saw you from the Astronomy Tower. What are you doing out here so late?"

"Can you hook up with me?" I groaned, basically throwing myself at him.

"No." I pulled away, drinking the rest of the bottle before falling back down, landing on my ass, making me whine. "Listen, you need to tell me what's going on," he demanded as I looked for another bottle only to find that they were all empty.

"I went back home," I smiled, "to see my friend Van and we sexed. Sexed... is that a word? Isn't that when you send someone dick pics? Anyways. Whatever. We got caught by cops and my dad was mad. My mother doesn't care, she drinks and I'm mad," I explained even though none of it really made sense. "I don't wanna be like her," I cried, kicking the wine bottle.

"Take this." He handed me a pill then pulled out a packet of cigarettes. Without thinking twice, I popped the pill into my mouth and swallowed it before he handed me a newly lit cigarette. I smoked as he brought me back to the castle, carrying the bottles and my hand around his shoulders.

"Why don't you wanna hook up with me?" I asked after I accidentally dropped my cigarette.

"Because you're drunk."

"Do you like me?"

"No."

"My friend said he didn't care what I did, are you sure you don't want to sleep with me?" I asked, tripping over my feet.

"Can you be quiet please? Why isn't that pill working?" He huffed.

"What was it?"

"Something to shut you up. Did you drink all these bottles by yourself?" I nodded as I tried to go up the stairs but my feet began to fail me.
