"Here you are!" Pansy yelled and fell on the couch next to me.

"Marta, tell us everything," Enzo demanded.

"Blackford got a detention, was called to McGonagall's office, and then yelled at poor Trelawney," Riddle sat down on the couch next to me with his arms crossed on his chest.

"What?" Everyone, except Matteo and me, yelled in disbelief.

"Marta," Pansy called me in a demanding tone.

"Potter asked how are we gonna fight if someone attacks us, and she said who, and both me and him asked Lord Voldemort and she was regretting the fact that he's back and Harry said he saw and fought with him and called her a liar. And then I called her his follower and a coward for not believing Potter and she gave both of us a detention tonight. Also, when am I supposed to go there?"

"After dinner take Potter and go," Nate said, "And McGonagall? Did she yell at the 2 of you?" I laughed.

"No! McGonagall called me and Harry to her office next period and a young girl brought us there. Then she asked if Harry yelled at Umbridge and if he called her a liar and he said yes. You know what she said?" I made a pause looking at the group. They remained silent. "She said, take a biscuit, Potter."

"What?" They all yelled. I nodded.

"And you?" Daphne asked.

"She asked me if I agreed with Potter, if I called her a coward and a Death Eater. I said yes to all. And then she said," I paused again, "You may have two biscuits, Blackford."

"What?" They yelled again. I nodded again.

"Wow," Theo whispered.

"And Trelawney?" Blaise asked.

"We were looking at the coffee leftovers. She told me to be careful and I said I didn't believe that shit. We argued a little. The bell rang and I stormed out."

"I've known you for almost 15 years and you still manage to amaze me," Nathan laughed.

"Oh, by the way, when is your birthday?" Astoria asked me.

"I don't celebrate," I said.

"Pleaseee," Pansy cried.

"No, fuck off," I snapped.

"Marta..." Everyone except Riddle, Nathan, and Malfoy cried, "Please tell us!"

"Not something necessary for you," I told them.

"But Marta!" Another cry came out of them and I lost my temper.

"No!" I yelled. They all settled down looking scared. "My birthday is something I hate. Especially this year. So please, don't get it into your heads. I don't wanna remember about it. Not this year." I said and stood up walking back to my room.

I fell on the bed breaking in tears. I was tired. My birthday is in less than 2 months and I feel down because of it. After a few minutes the tears stopped pouring and I opened the drawer of my nightstand. I took out a picture of my little sister and her best friend. The last day she was happy. The last day they were together. I started crying again. I couldn't stop the tears. I spent like that for about 20 minutes when I heard the door to my dorm open.

"We need to go to dinner. Remember Umbridge afterwards." I heard Riddle's voice and the door shut again. I went to the bathroom and washed my face.

"I'm fine," I whispered to myself and walked out of the room. Everyone was waiting for me downstairs. I walked over to them and the girls who were sitting stood up and the boys smiled. I ignored them and walked over to the door. I heard them follow and we all walked out of the common room.
