𝐀s she walked into the Great Hall for breakfast, Eden was still furious with Mattheo. While he'd been having a good time with Jenna, he'd prevented her from having a good time with Ron, and that made her angry. She sat down at her table, ignoring the Slytherins, and took some biscuits to dip into her milk. She hated coffee, the smell gave her a headache and the taste was awful. Still half asleep, she didn't see Joshua give her a sign, and it wasn't until she got up to go back to her dormitory to get her things that she noticed him. 

"Got a minute before class? Same place as usual," he said.

Eden nodded and waited five minutes before following him. She huffed and puffed up the stairs and entered the Astronomy Tower. Elina was sitting by the window, amusing herself with a feather she'd probably taken from her owl. 

"So, are we going to do something?" she asked, dropping the feather again. 

"I've thought about it and I think it's a really bad idea," Joshua said, "but we're a team and if two of you want to do it, I'm in." He pushed up his glasses and Eden smiled. 

"Perfect, then I guess we'll have to figure out how to kill Voldemort," she blurted out.

"But how?" Elina bit her lip in concern and Eden shrugged. 

"I don't know, and there's no point in asking me to get close to Mattheo to find out about his father, because that's dishonest, and I may be a bitch, but I'm not that bitchy," the redhead said. Eden dropped onto the sofa and rested her head on the edge, staring up at the ceiling. She loved that ceiling, it was like the ones you'd find in a museum, filled with angels, figures of all kinds and it was breathtaking. 

"Draco or Theodore," Elina blurted out. "You might be able to get some information if you approach them."

Eden snapped out of her thoughts and turned her head towards her friend. Elina was as brunette as she was redheaded, and she had short legs, whereas Eden had very long ones. 

"I'll see if I can talk to Draco," Eden said as she stood up. "But I'll do it my way, see you later." She walked back down the stairs and then up a few more to her dormitory, picking up her things before going down again. Out of breath, she stopped to catch her breath and entered the botanical greenhouse.

Professor Sprout was already talking to Neville about belladonna and Eden took a seat at the back. The tiled table was full of dirt and she swept it away with her hand to put down her book. Mattheo abruptly put his down and sat down nonchalantly on his stool. 

"I see we both got up on the wrong foot," Eden said. She turned her head towards him and noticed a cut on his swollen lip. "I see, I grant you, you have the right to be in a bad mood," she mumbled. 

"I'm not the other guy, he didn't even get up," Mattheo joked.

Eden rolled her eyes and opened her book to the page she wanted. Harry sat down next to her and greeted her with a smile.
