Can I love again?

5th Year at Hogwarts. Chapter 1.

I was walking through the halls going to my 4th class, potions, with my best friend, Lydia. My ponytail made me seem like a dork, but I didnt really care. We were laughing to ourselves causing commotion. Everyone seemed to be staring at us.

"Smash or pass, Harry Potter," Lydia asked me, chuckling to herself. Harry is honestly hot.

"I know we are rivals, but smash!" I blurted out as we both started cackling to ourselves and Lydia nodding. "Wait- wait, smash or pass, Ronald Weasley?" Lydia stopped in her tracks and looked at me.

"Okay, unpopular opinion, but i'm into red-heads so smash!" Lydia admitted and my jaw dropped.

"Gross! No fucking way," We laughed as we sat in potions. Snape was giving us a look as we sat down.

"Snape is looking at us," I whispered to Lydia, my eyes still locked with Snapes.

"He is like eye-fucking you!"Lydia did a fake moan and we both started cackling. Soon enough, Slytherin boys came walking in.

"Look whose here," I said to Lydia, who had the biggest crush on Theodore Nott. The Slytherin boys were easily the hottest boys around. There was Draco Malfoy, who was definitely the leader of the group because of how respected his parents were. There was Theodore Nott, who flirted with everyone and was easily the most hottest. There was Mattheo Riddle, who seemed innocent but he was no where near. He was the most nicest, though. Then, there was Lorenzo Berkshire, my personal favorite. He was the cutest, in my opinion, and was quiet. Lastly, there was Blaise who lived for Qudditch. He was the captain of the Slytherin team and was honestly quite good.  "Okay, stop staring at them now!"

"But they are so fine," Lydia mumbled, still staring at them. I grabbed her chin and turned it towards me.

"Girl, you are worth so much more than them. The fucking players of the school. They are all so cocky and just annoying," I told Lydia sternly, letting go of her chin.

"Damn- girl you are gonna be-" Lydia started but got cut off by Professor McGonagal bursting through the room with a worried expression on her face.

"Viola Gaunt?" She said scanning the room for me and Lydia turned to me. "There you are, come with me, dear." I grabbed my supplies and started walking towards her.

"Meet you at the dorms after," I whispered to Lydia, hoping no one heard. All eyes were on me and I was visibly nervous. She took me outside of the room and looked at me with sorrowful eyes.

"There is no easy way to put this, but I just got news that your parents have been in a car crash. They didn't make it," She finally told me. Theodore Nott came out of the room and walked towards the bathrooms but I didnt mind it.

"So- my parents might be dead?" My voice started to break and my eyes started to tear up, "But they are all I have? What will I do? Where will I go? What happened to them?" A million questions raced my mind, but the thought of them not being there, comforting me, made me shatter. I started sobbing and Professor McGonagal pulled me in to a tight hug.

"You will have the rest of 5th year off, but then you have to come back next year, if you choose to stay here. I believe you will be staying with your god parents, the Parkinson's," She explained to me and I nodded. "Go to your dorm and pack, you will be sent home tomorrow." Professor walked away and I was left alone, in front of Snapes door. My parents are dead, they are gone. I walked to an open window and sat there, tears strolling down my face. I don't have anyone. I grabbed my school supplies and I started walking too my dormitory when I passed by Theodore Nott. We made eye contact as he walked by and I was still sobbing my eyes out. As he walked behind me, I could tell he looked back. But I didnt care- he is a cocky bitch anyways.
