Break my heart again

Hogwarts

Now its my third year at Hogwarts. I looked for my best friend Theodore. As always I found him at the Slytherin compartment. As I got in, Theodore came up to me and gave me a tight hug. "Noelle, good to see you." He said with a big smile on his face. 

For the first time, he wasn't alone. He sat with Mattheo Riddle, his brother Tom and Markus Flint. I hated Flint since my first year. He always bullied me. "It's good to see you too Teddy." I sat down next to Theodore. 

"Why is she here?" Tom asked unfriendly. I looked at him. "Come on, Noelle is my best friend. Don't be silly, of course she is sitting with us." Theodore said. "If your father knew about her, you would be dead." I looked at Theodore. He never told me about that. 

"Let my father out of this Tom. It's none of your buisness. And she is a pureblood too. Her whole family is, you remember?" "But she and her father are bloodtraitors." "Don't you dare talk like that about me and my father. You know nothing about us or anything about our family!" I said with a sharp undertone. 

Tom wanted to say something, but his brother didn't let  him. "Shut the fuck up Tom. Let her be here. You don't need to look at her, if it makes you feel better. But she is Theodores friend, so she can be here if she wants to." I looked at the younger Riddle in disbelief. 

He looked back at me and had a little smile on his face. I smiled back and focused on my new book. I wonder why Flint hadn't said anything yet. Well, it is better this way. 

We arrived in Hogsmead and got off the train. Theodore and I went to the carriages. I looked at the thestrals. One of them looked back at me. "Can you see them too?" I asked my best friend. He nooded. I knew his mother died a long time ago. He was 3 when he lost her, like me. 

We arrived at the castle and we seperated our ways, because we had to sit by our house tables. "See you later." Theodore said and gave me a quick hug, before he ran to his other friends. I sat down next to Percy and Oliver. "Black, how where your holidays?" Wood asked me. "Good, yours?" "I sat at some new strategies to win the quidditch housecup." I smiled. 

"As always. Did you even do anything other than think about your sport?" "Well, no. Didn't had the time to." I nooded. McGonagal came in with the first years. I looked for Harry. He looked at the enchanted ceiling. 

The first years stood infont of the Gryffindor house teacher and looked at her. "I will call your names and you will come to the front, sit down and the speaking hat will sort you into your house. The fist one is... Hermione Granger." 

A brown haired girl walked up at sat down. The speaking hat sorted her into Gryffindor. And so it went on, with the other kids. As she said Harrys name, the whole hall went silent. Harry went up. "Hmm, difficult. You would fit in Slytherin. What! Not Slytherin?! Hmm, well then it will be Gryffindor!" He shouted at the whole red-gold table clapped loudly. 

Some of them shaked hands with Harry, as he sat down next to Ron. "We have Potter! We have Potter!" Fred and George screamed. I am happy, that he is in Gryffindor too. So it might me easier for me to talk with him. Harry looked at me and I smiled at him. 

He smiled back and talked with Ron again. The feast began and everyone began to eat. Exept for me. I just looked at the food and wanted to throw up immediately. I just drank my pumpkin juice and was glad when the feast endet. Percy went with the first years to show them our commonroom and the dormitories. 

I looked through the hall if I might find Theodore. He was sat with his friends at their table. He found my gace and winked me to his place. I stood up and walked over. I sat down next to him and got some mean looks from Tom, Flint and some other Slytherins. 

"How was it for you?" Theodore asked me. "Did you eat something?" "Yup, I did. And it was good." "What did you eat?" "I ate a soup and some potatoes with salad." I aswered him with full confidence. But with the look on his face, he knew I lied. "That wasn't even served today, Elle. Why didn't you eat." "You know I can't." I whispered. 

Mattheo looked at me. I loved his smile and eyes. I had a crush on him since last year christmas. I don't even know, how it happend.
