I breathe out slowly, the smoke rising into the sky. The weed letting out a breath i didn't realise i was holding in. I swing my legs lightly over the astronomy tower, the wind howling lightly as the frost air blows. I take a light breath as i my mind relaxes. What a holiday.

As im off in my own thoughts, someone sits next to me lightly taking the bud out my fingers as he takes a hit. I don't have to look to know it's him. My body doesn't move as i keep looking out the tower. I reach to my side grabbing the gift bag next to the half bottle of drunken firewhiskey, placing it between us i look up at the stars.

"It's from my parents" i spit out as the comfortable silence fills the room. I turn to look at his, his platinum hair highlighting against the moon. "Open it" i nod towards the bag as he looks at me uncertain. He hesitantly reaches for the bag, pulling out a black box. When he opens it i can practically see the shine radiate on his face. I look over the box, a fancy silver watch laid in it. I nod my head lightly as Draco snapped the box shut, putting it back in the bag.

"You don't have to act unbothered because of me. It's an expensive watch at least try it on" i roll my eyes, stealing the weed as i put it between my lips with an inhale. "Don't want to" he mutters as i feel his eyes on me. My eyes look to the side to see his face, just watching me. I look down as i exhale, fidgeting with my fingers. "Sorry. I shouldn't take it out on you" i shake my head lightly, biting my lip as i conceal my anger. I turn my head as i don't get a reply, only to see Draco staring back at me, thinking. "Talk" is all he says, budging closer to me as he grabs my hand, locking our fingers. I grab the firewhiskey with my other hand while still balancing the weed in my fingers, taking a big gulp as i hand it to Draco. "I told my parents." I gulp lightly as i look away, remembering the look on their faces. "They pretended i said nothing until i was screaming at them over again that i was raped." I keep looking away, hating that Draco has to put up with this still. He's always there for me, but I'm never there for him

"I knew they would never care" i scoff lightly as i look back to Draco, a hurt expression on his face. He squeezes my hand lightly as he opens his mouth before looking down.i knew he always felt bad, he thought he didnt understand her even higher pureblood family and therefore couldn't help her. But him being there was all i needed. And being so caring was even better, because even if he didn't understand he always helped her calm her thoughts. "I care." He states as he looks back up and i smile lightly. "You always have..."

...

I breathe in deeply as i walk into Dumbledore's office, a light, yet fake smile on my face as he looks back at me. "Sophia Diamond, take a seat. The others will be here shortly" he instructed, a straight face displayed as he evaluated my steps.

I sat on the end of the five chairs in front of his desk, fidgeting with my hands on my lap as i tried to keep my breathing stable. Before i knew it Draco walked in with V and Ed, all of them falling silent as they walked in. I turned to them, giving them a worried look as Draco came and sat next to me. A reassuring smile on his face, dropping it as he looks towards Dumbledore. "No disrespect Professor but i honestly dont know why we need to have this meeting on Boxing Day. It is the holidays and my father will want to hear about this" he said with distaste as V sat next to him, Ed next to her.

I stared at the empty seat as the conversation fainted into the background. "I understand it is the holidays Draco Malfoy. However we take bullying very seriously here at Hogwarts. I thought you were all aware of this. Miss Diamond? How about you tell your side before Mr Nott comes? Hes been very explicit that you were in the middle of this" he lightly raised his eyebrows at me, his face full of wisdom as he waited for me to speak.

I gulped lightly, opening my mouth before my lip started to tremble slightly making me immediately shut it. I could feel his presence. It was haunting me, sending shivers down my spine. And just at that second, i felt his eyes on the back of me and i froze.

Dumbledore's attention was drawn to him walking in, his footsteps haunting as he sat down on the chair. I couldn't look his way, i just stared at the floor in front of me my hands shaking as i held them tightly together. "Sorry im late professor...just had to work up the courage to come in you see" his smug voice filled the silence, i could practically feel his smirk. Thinking he's smart for reporting Draco for beating him, and V and Ed's hex's. It made me want to throw up being this close, even if i purposely sat the furthest away i could.

"That is certainly not what we want at Hogwarts. Students should feel safe here!" He strictly raised his voice slightly and Ed scoffed interrupted him. "Do you have something to say Edmund?" He raised his eyebrows slightly. I brought up the courage to move my head slightly, but instead of looking at Ed i just saw him. He was just watching me suffer, crossed arms as he smirks. He lifts one are, wiggling his fingers to send me a wave. I gasp lightly as i look in the opposite direction.

"Sophia Diamond? Is there something wrong or can i keep speaking?" I turned my head to the professor, staring back at me. He looked so wise, like he knew everything in the world. So how could he be so dumbfounded by him. i open my mouth slightly. "Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it." I state, my voice scratching as i look at the floor trying desperately to build my confidence as i feel his eyes burn holes in the side of my head. "That's what you've said before." I look up to Dumbledore, who nods lightly listening instead of being confused.

"That's the only reason we're all here right? Because poor little Nott asked for help?" I raise my eyebrows crossing my arms as i put on my act. He cant see that he's affected me. "Miss Diamond i do not appreciate-

"You know." I scoff as i look at his calm face. It's like this whole meeting is a trap to get the truth out. "You know the truth. You always do. But you cant control the situation because you know the wrong person is asking for the help." I squint my eyes lightly as his face drops slightly. I let out a frustrated sigh, letting my chair screech on the floor as i stand up. I turn to walk out but stop, turning back round as i point out. "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities" i quote crossing my arms as they all stare up at me, Draco,Ed, and V with surprised yet proud faces whereas Nott looks angry, like his plan hasn't worked. "I hope the choices of each one of these student sitting in front of you has shown you who they truly are." I scoff as he looks at all four of them. "Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. You also said that right? Don't pick the wrong choose because it's easy." I scoff as i start to the door. "Student should feel safe...what a fucking joke" i mutter, even thought everyone could hear. I storm down the steps on my way out, infuriated but powerful that i unfroze in that situation. Doubting what i'd do when spending that time in the room with him.
