Behind Books

10. A Hidden Hall 🚪

November 29th
It's been over two weeks, and Lucas hasn't said anything.

I was in class, and Hagrid started mentioning our midterms. Our midterms are less then a month from now.

They were the last day of school before winter break, December 20th. That really made me anxious.

Any talk of exams always gets to me. I've always gotten at least a B, but it still stresses me out. This is year 7 everything's gonna be difficult.

Today was a day I needed to be with Lucas.
He would calm my shaking leg, relax my tense muscles.

But I'm not with him, and Draco's to blame.
My throat felt dry, and I chugged down my water.

"Easy." Said a voice in my head.
Draco's voice.

I looked back at him, and he looked at me like I was insane. I ignored him, and drank a bit more.

"The waters not gonna walk away." He said.

I don't know how to use leglimency, so I couldn't reply. Either way I wouldn't reply though.

"I'm going to hand out review packages so you can prepare." Said Hagrid.

He put a review package in front of me, and I gasped. It was thick, like really thick.

I started looking through, and felt myself tense. This is too much. How am I gonna know all this in a month? Plus my other two classes.

And this whole thing with Lucas is stressing me out. My breaths shortened, and I felt an attack coming. I tried swallowing, but felt no spit.

Class was ending in 30 minutes, but I needed out now. I looked at Lucas, but he can't help me. We're on a break, and I don't wanna bother him. I'll have to message Amelia.

Lily stood up with her backpack, and went to talk to Hagrid. She was pulling at her hair, and started fanning herself. Her knees looked like they were about to buckle, and she swung her backpack back and forth.

The class quieted down, and we could hear her speak. She froze, and looked at the class.

Everyone stared at her, and she looked back at Hagrid. Her body trembled more, and she leaned against his desk.

"C-can I- I." She stammered.

I looked at Lucas, who was staring at her.

"May I um, be e-excused?"
Her voice started trailing, and I watched as her chest rose up and down.

Trailing voice, stammering, she was about to have an attack.

"Sure, just check in at the office." Said Hagrid.

She walked out of class, and Lucas went back to talking to his friends. He didn't give a single shit.

I didn't care either to be honest. I tried helping her once, and she lost her shit on me.

I walked over to a bench in a hidden hall. The last time I was on a bench, I fell asleep and embarrassed myself. And I didn't need anyone to see me like this.

I called, and messaged Amelia, but got no response. I have to last 30 minutes.

I took my jacket off, and pulled out a piece of paper. I then fanned myself, and closed my eyes. I needed to take deep breaths.
