Yes, another update!! Finally! Sorry about the wait D: It's literally been a year and a half, yikes. Hopefully I'll be able to get the next chapter up in not too long.

Enjoy the chapter (hopefully) and don't forget to vote and comment! Thanks for all the support! xo

I woke up feeling a lot better than I had yesterday. Mostly because I hadn't woken up, screaming, at 3 AM.

Today I had Divination second - well, third - after Muggle Studies/Arithmancy at the same time. I decided to go to Arithmancy first, only because I knew a couple people in that class, such as Hermione Granger.

We had to hand in a foot-long essay about what our favourite number was and its Arithmatic significance. Due to my other concerns, I'd only written a couple inches and then forgotten about it until this morning. I'd ended up writing it at the breakfast table that morning with Blaise looking on in amusement. I'd just said that my favourite number was 11 because it represented the month in which I was born. Anyway, I knew the material (or so I hoped).

After the lesson, I gathered my things and returned to their place in my bag. Once outside, I nodded to Hermione, who unlike me no longer needed a Time-Turner after dropping Divination and Muggle Studies, and headed off towards a place where I could go back in time without anyone seeing me. Then I rushed off to Muggle Studies.

Muggle Studies was a very interesting class in terms of demographics. No Muggle-borns took the class. It was mostly half-bloods who had been raised magical, with a couple of purebloods in the mix.

I had been raised by Muggles, but I still thought it would be a good idea to take the course so that I could keep up-to-date with any developments. I also happened to be the only Slytherin in the class, but that didn't concern me too much. After all, I did have friends from other houses.

All through the lesson, I was full of anticipation for my next class. I really enjoyed talking to Kaya and Holly - they definitely knew how to brighten up my day. And not only that, we had shared genuinely significant events together, like our experiences at Hogwarts last year.

In Divination, we were moving onto dream interpretation due to Trelawney's unbelievable disorganisation when it came to following the prescribed course structure. This meant, of course, that Kaya and Holly had a new way to mock Divination, Kaya with words and Holly more subtly with ridiculous made-up stories about strange dreams that had completely illogical meanings. As for me, I just enjoyed analysing everything. It was interesting to see how many different ways I was expected to die or otherwise suffer.

And judging by the dream I'd had only two nights ago, there was a lot that I could interpret about my future from Divination. If only it was more believable. If only it had a slightly more believable professor.

I sat down at my usual table, with the two Ravenclaw girls a few moments behind me. As soon as I'd gotten my ink and quill out of my bag, I looked up and saw Holly and Kaya fixing me with intimidating and expectant stares.

"...Well?" Kaya was the first to speak. I frowned in confusion. What was going on? Had I accidentally said or done (or thought, I wouldn't put it past a Ravenclaw to know what was going on inside my head) something offensive? Had I said something against Ravenclaws? Maybe I'd just forgotten an essay and a teacher got mad and told them to tell me. Or not.

"What?" I asked in worry. I hoped my confusion showed genuinely, and apparently it did since the girls exchanged a look of bewilderment.

Holly waved her hand in front of my face and clicked her fingers. "Hello? Do you remember nothing important? Theo told us that he asked you to be his girlfriend," she said impatiently. I blushed. Oh.
