Chapter 10

Lilith's POV

"As I told you before, I was hiding inside Malfoy's compartment and I was listening to their conversation. I have this theory, and I know that I'm right!" Harry stops and stares at everyone before looking at me. "Malfoy is a Death Eater. I'm sure because he was very secretive and when that girlfriend of his touched his left arm he flinched and curse at her."

"No way, he's too young for that." Hermione says but Harry shakes his head.

"He is, why would he stop his 'Lets torment first years' ritual? And the words he used, his body language... I'm pretty sure."

I can't believe that. I know that he's not a good person and that his parents are even worse, but there's no reason for him to choose that path. I just feel it, like I have something deep inside of me telling me that this isn't right.

"Then Luna found me and fixed my nose."

I catch these last words and realize that I spaced out during Harry's explanation. Now j don't know what happened while he was in that train with those demons.

"Why would she fix your nose? What the heck happened?"

"You weren't listening, were you?" Harry's voice is laced with amusement. "Summing it up, Malfoy broke my nose with his foot and left me there to die."

After hearing Harry's explanation, I can feel my body shaking. How dare he? That filthy Malfoy is going to pay for doing this to my brother! I'll break his nose like he did to Harry. And he lied to me after I asked if Harry was inside. I know I shouldn't have trusted him, I'm so stupid.

"What did he say?" I ask, trying to calm down my heart. "He lied to me, I asked him if you were inside and he said no."

"You know him, he's the biggest jerk of all times. But I never thought he would lie to you." Hermione whispers the last sentence, like she didn't want me to hear it.

"Of course he lied to me, we are natural enemies!" I shout. Thank god the common room I empty. "But I don't understand any of this..."

And with 'any of this' I mean the damn thing I felt when I kissed Andrev and the damn thing I felt when Malfoy's eyes rested on me near the train. My brain hates me, that's the only reason I can find.

"We should go to sleep now, okay?" Harry pleas but I want to hear it all. So I can kill the bastard tomorrow.

"No, you're going to sit right here and tell me everything, and don't lie to me." I threaten, my voice dark and full of hate. I really want to kill that son of a bitch.

After showering and thinking about this new year, I feel my heart breaking. Then I realize why. The events of the past few days made me crazy, and now that I can think and be alone for a while, I feel my walls crumbling down. I can't even breathe, it's like my lungs are filled with a strange liquid. And this liquid is probably called pain.

Pain for my family, my real family. Lily and James, dead because of me. Then Daniel and Lucy. I know they hated me since the beginning but that doesn't mean that I don't love them. They were my family, at least the only one I knew of. They took care of me, they gave me shelter and food. And the best thing in the whole world. They gave me the sweetest sisters I could ask for.

Just thinking that they are all gone, forever done, and that I'll need be able to see them again... That breaks my insides and everything that fills my numb body. The walls and the floor make the room look like a hospital. One of those hospitals for mentally unstable people. And I'm not like that, I have to leave this room.

I get up, leaving everything but my wand behind. I don't even care about my bare feel against the cold floor. I just want to stay as at away from this hell as possible. Hermione and Lavender, my roommates, are fast asleep. It's almost four am, so that's normal. And I'm not normal. Because I'm awake and waking around. At four am. Completely rational.

I walk around the dark and empty halls, the only sound coming from my beating heart. Unfortunately. Everything would be nicer and easier if I just... Disappeared.

I then remember Dumbledore's word at dinner. 'We are pleased to welcome a new member of staff this year, Professor Slughorn is a former colleague of mine who has agreed resume his old post of Potions master.'

Everyone was surprised. We always thought that e would be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. But Severus got the pale this year. Finally, after years and years of trying and begging, he finally made it. Good for him. And I don't have Potions this year, I followed Ron and Harry.

I'm not taking Potions and Care of Magical Creatures. How am I supped to say this to Hagrid? I'm not that close to him, the others like him more than I do. But I still feel bad for this, he was a funny teacher.

He is going to be so heartbroken when he finds out. I'm not going to tell him, Harry will probably be the one doing it. He's Hagrid's favorite after all.

But back to my awesome and selfish self. I know that there's going to be pain in life and blah blah blah. But I can't take it, feeling responsible for their deaths. Hugh was... Well he was complicated and a big of an ass, but he didn't deserve that. He was probably innocent but the Daily Prophet made him look like a killer.

And the other one... Jommy... Poor his as well. I don't believe that crap, they aren't the killers. Voldemort is the one to blame, he is the one that loathes me and wanted me to suffer. So he is the guilty one in my eyes.

I stop walking when I hear footsteps behind me. I hide behind a curtain an wait for the person to leave. But they don't, and I feel a hand on my arm, pulling me forward, away from my hiding spot. I don't make a sound, I'm more afraid I'd being found my a teacher than by a student. Irrational, but I'm in a bad mood so fuck off.

"What are you doing here Lili- I mean, Potter?"

I look up and find the eyes of that one person o hate the most. Malfoy, that som of a damn bitch. He quickly hit his arm to smile him let go of my arm and he flinched, but keeps griping my arm. Until I kick him where the dear old sun doesn't shine and he falls forward, finally releasing my arm.

"Let me go, you are a stupid liar!" I shout, not caring anymore if anyone finds me. I just want to leave.

"What are you talking about? Get back here!" He says after me as I start running away from him as fast as I can.

The walls run past me so fast that I can't even see anything besides the door right in front of me. The door to my common room, where Malfoy can't follow me. He would never get in, would he? And the answer is no.

"Stop!" He is still following me but I'm almost there, my freedom is only a few steps away from me. Don't stop me now, Malfoy.

I don't stop running as I wake up the portrait lady and whisper the password. She mumbles some bad words about me being a sneaky rebel but opens the door and the cold and dark common room greets me. The door closes behind me and I let out a sig of relief. I'm thankful that no one saw that, well besides Malfoy. But who cares about him? I don't.

I feel someone's eyes on me and turn to the stairs, where a little girl is staring intently at me. I grab her hand and bring her to the sofas, noticing her teary eyes. She can't face me, but I put my fingers under her chin and make her look me in the eye. She's really pretty, and makes me remember... She's just like my sisters, pretty I mean. They were very pretty.

"What's your name sweetie?"

"I'm Louise."
