THE WICKED SORCERER | LORENZO BERKSHIRE X Y/N MALVADA

Family

I awoke to the first alarm this week, and let me tell you I am not ready for hearing this until the summer holiday. My head was pounding, my breathing heavy, my legs wobbling like jelly, my heart pounding out my chest, faint memories of what Lorenzo said to me last night.

"I love you..."

It would be too good to be true. It broke my heart. Three simple words, and i'm getting so worked up about them. The reason why is because nobody's ever told me they loved me. And the first time i'm hearing it is from someone who was incredibly drunk and that person was Lorenzo Berkshire, and I have no clue if he was telling the truth or not, or even meant it in a friend way. One thing hurt me the most though, was he going to remember or not? Well there was only one way to find out.

I hopped in the shower and took a freezing cold shower to calm my nerves. I washed my hair and exfoliated my body, and don't worry it was like 5am so I had a lot of time before the girls woke up. Once I got out I put body cream on and did my hair routine. I brushed my teeth and washed my face before doing my skincare. I walked towards my wardrobe and took out my uniform and put them on. Just as I was doing my tie, an owl flew towards the window with a grey envelope and a black ribbon. I grabbed the letter while giving the owl a treat. My breath hitched before I even opened the letter;

Dear Y/n,

We have explicitly told you to become more relentless to people! Since you seem to can't follow simple orders, we would like to have a family meeting in the Forbidden Forest at 6pm sharp.

You're in big trouble Y/n Malvada.

Don't be late,

Mother.

My heart skipped a beat. Shit...Shit...Shit...

As if on cue, Pansy, Daphne and Astoria woke up to the second alarm.

"How long have you been up?" groaned Pansy while holding her head in pain.

"Since 5am." I replied with my voice shaking with fear and my hands trembling while holding the letter. As the girls got ready, I waited for them. My heart still skipping and my mind racing with fear. I was so nervous to meet my family.

Once the girls were ready we headed downstairs to the Great Hall for breakfast to be greeted by five extremely hungover boys.

"Hello!" Daphne sang loudly to annoy them.

"Shut up!" Draco grumbled into his hands.

"That's no way to talk to a lady!" Daphne grinned knowing what she was doing. I sat down and loaded my plate with very few things. I wasn't that hungry.

"Y/n? You ok?" asked Mattheo concerned. I placed a tired smile and forced a reply.

"Yeah, just didn't get much sleep last night." I made a small glance at Lorenzo who was already looking at me with worry before turning back to my food. After smiling and staying for a few minutes I finally stood up.

"I'm going to go to class. See ya." I said tiredly and rubbing my eyes before leaving.

During the day Lorenzo was quite embarrassed when he was around me. I think Daphne told him what he told me last night and as much as I adore seeing his embarrassment I had a gut feeling that he regretted what he said. He doesn't love me.

I kept watch at the clock awaiting for 6pm. I waited and waited and the day was slower than usual. It's like the universe is doing this on purpose so then I get even more stressed my the second.

I was walking to my dorm at the end of the day when I heard Lorenzo behind me shout,

"Y/n! Wait!" I stopped in my tracks and forced to put a smile on.

"Hey. What's going on?" I asked, his face was looking nervous and a bit pink.

"Can you tell me what I said to you last night? Daphne won't tell me." He asked. I saw his pulse quicken from his neck.

"Well, you came to my dorm and started complimenting me, I took you to your dorm and placed you in bed and before I left you told me to stay and that you loved me." I explained calmly. The pink traveled all the way to his ears. He looked SO embarrassed.

"Y/n, I-" He tried to explain but I cut him off,

"Don't worry! I know it was the alcohol talking." I laughed casually. I saw in his eyes a bit of heartbreak. What if...? No, no. There's no way.

"Anyways i've got to go. I'm quite busy this evening. And i'm going to miss dinner, so don't bother saving a seat." I smiled and walked off.

When I arrived at my dorm I placed my bag on the bed and got in a change of clothes. I put on some leggings and an oversized hoodie. I placed my hair in a high ponytail and placed my sneakers on. I looked at the time, 5:17pm. I left the dorm and ran towards the Forbidden Forest. I know my family, so this meeting will end in a fight. 

I arrived and looked at my watch, 6:00pm. Soon, multiple black shadows swooped in and landed on the ground.

"Mother," I greeted.

"Let's get into it, shall we?" She started walking in circles around me.

"We raised you to be a threat, a machine, to destroy. You failed, and why? Because you turned nice and became weak. And because of what? some...guy!" she sarcastically laughed.

"Mother, i'm not going to hurt him! I'm not going to be mean to him!" I started to shout.

"I can't believe you're getting so worked up about some...guy!" She shouted back in annoyance.

"He's different! he's honest and he's sweet..." I started to think of Lorenzo and my cheeks started rising up.

"Oh please," said Mother irritably.

"He would never do anything to hurt me!" I told her and tears started forming in my eyes.

"He's a guy!" Mother said disappointedly and put a her hand on her head for it to rest.

"Whatever you say about him won't make me change my mind! I've made friends since I started being nice! They actually care about me! And what did you ever do, huh? I almost died and you didn't even give a shit!" I shouted angrily.

"Don't you talk to your Mother like that!" My Father started to shout.

"I think it's time you've learned a lesson, Y/n!" shouted my aunt in frustration. As I predicted, it did end up in a fight. Different coloured powers were being thrown and and I dodged them very carefully and threw some spells towards them.

"You've made a mistake raising me to be the best, Mother." I muttered. I threw everyone across the woods and their backs hit the trees, they all groaned in pain. My Mother was the only one who stood back up. She threw her black energy towards me, I shielded myself and when I finally had the guts to remove it and fight back, my Mother collapsed to the floor, breathless.

"To think that I call you all family." I whispered. I walked off, crying. My family, my own family fought against me.

Some worthless pieces of shits they are.
