Lauren's POV

I pressed my left arm ignoring the tingling in the cloistered curse on my skin as I watched the guests who came gradually by the great hall door. It was night, the entrance to the castle decorated with garlands and torches to guide the guests arrived in horse-drawn carriages. Bulgarians wore the red uniform typical gala with a side coat and the French were wearing costumes free choice. The Great Hall had become a frozen place, literally, the party with the winter theme was taken seriously when even the tables of punches and snacks were made of ice bewitched to not melt. Like the chandeliers, the decorations, the walls and the ceiling. I kicked something imaginary on the floor trying to hide the pain in my arm, but it was almost impossible with that burning beneath the gauze strip that I used as an excuse for cutting my arm with the broken pieces of a mirror.

My head wasn't ready to be in the middle of hundreds of people who could find out about my curse at any time. I was very shaken and fragile, so which made Camila take care of me the whole afternoon not feeling the need to push her away. I knew that if they found out about us they could hunt her to blackmail me, but what could I do against my Yang? We're talking about Camilla, she wouldn't let me even if I scream on her face that I hate her.

And maybe that's what makes me be more and more in love.

We had lunch in the dorm and had dinner in it. We spent the day exchanging experiences on our lives and saying bad things about some students and teachers. Basically we spent a day as a couple, those who lock themselves in the room to do anything together. Whether or not I had liked, and that was a fact that I had to accept. In the late afternoon, Camila asked for an invisibility cloak to Potter that I swore was just a legend, and with it I sneaks out of the Gryffindor common room.

Portter was a short distance from me with Ronald Weasley who was Dinah Jane's couple, with them also was Ginny Weasley and her couple Neville something. Normani was with Liam Payne from our house and is Seeker in a Quidditch team, Quinn with Arcturus Black also Slytherin and one of the Draco followers, Santana and Brittany were together for not being more a secret to school and I was with Zayn Malik the beater on the Quidditch team and a great guy. Of course he knew we were only together for necessity of my presence at that ball, nothing more than that, especially because I was holding everyone as I waited almost impatiently on the last step of the ladder Camilla come down. I wanted to see her before going into that sea of people and pretend to be fine.

"I already said you're weird today? Because you are", Normani complained stomping. She was wearing a little tube moss green dress, her hair in a bun and perfect silver heels. "First you come with a bandaged arm and refuses to visit the hospital wing, second refuses to change in front of us and now is waiting knows who to come. Why don't you say at once what you have?"

"Don't meddle, Normani", I crossed my arms. "I said that are personal matters, and you are here because you want to"

She opened and closed her mouth indignantly with my answer, then pulled Liam's arm, dragging him into the Great Hall.

"You're too hot kicking people's asses", Zayn said in my ear.

"Do you want me to kick your ass too?", I replied ironically and he looked at me scared.
