a new era of me

~September 16th~

I slept absolutely fucking horrible after that whole shit with Riddle.  A small part of me felt horribly guilty for yelling at him two days in a row, but a big part of me felt no remorse.

He was going around telling people to do things, for me.

But he sounded so vulnerable.

I felt like a piece of shit.

I need to stop and go to breakfast, this wasn't good on me.  This guilt and remorse for Riddle, he wasn't good for me.

During breakfast I hadn't seen him, Riddle.  I found myself looking around the great hall, which didn't go unnoticed.

Of course.

"Who are you looking for?" Theo asked curiously.

"Huh? Oh um I was looking for Percy, I don't see him," I said quickly.

"Oh I think he's over... there! With Luna and.. Blaise?" Enzo replied from next to me

"So that's where that twat has gone to!" Draco exclaimed.  "Having breakfast with dickhead of the year, Percy!" He added.

Pansy glanced at me and I shot Draco a glare. "He's changed." I scoffed.

Draco just can't seem to let shit go, it's fucking aggravating.

"Changed my ass, I'll believe it when I see him treating you well with my own eyes." Draco replied firmly.

"Whatever." I muttered.

The others looked between us awkwardly.

"Well, I am going to go hang out with Percy then, I'll see-" I sighed as I got up.

"Nope, he's got quidditch practice," Theo spoke up.

"And how do you know that?" I questioned.

"Yeah.." Draco added.

"Oh well I sort of had a long conversation with Percy and—" Theo began before Draco and I both cut him off.

"You did what?" I questioned.

"You what??" Draco scoffed.

Seriously?! Theo talking to Percy?! I'm not mad that's just crazy.

"What?? It was just a small quick convo on quidditch," Theo defended.

"Oo watch out, they might have your head on a stick," Pansy teased with a laugh.

"One wrong move and it's over for you mate," Enzo added with a grin.

Draco and I rolled our eyes.

"I'm off then, I am bored." I sighed as I got up.

I waved bye and they waved back.

I walked around the corridors, making fun with my remaining time.  The corridors were eerily empty at this time, I didn't mind that though.  My thoughts traced back to Riddle and the fact that he didn't come to breakfast this morning.
