couldn't sleep that night.
She was more than surprised at what she saw─or heard─a couple of hours ago. Over the summer, Haylee had heard news about Nathaniel going mad. She thought they were just mere rumors that some dumbass kids made up.
Although she tried her best not to believe it─it was hard not to. Then when Alessandra Snape came to visit the Potters' mansion, she spilled the truth for everyone to hear. Alessandra's mom was one of the Ten Councillors on the C.O.M. (Council of Magic), a famous organization known for making mankind and magic-kind a better place. Alessandra was utterly shocked when she visited Nathaniel in his house─where he lived with his delusional mother and drunken father. He was dying─on the inside.

"I'm weirdly impressed."
Derrick laughed. "Wanna go see the stars?" he pointed to the window. The full moon was out, beautiful as always. "Please." he pouted. "All my friends that would come are... literally gone. Son's worn out and Alan's staying the night in the Slytherin Dorm. And Alana... shes my best friend, but that sweet girl will kill me. So whatever, please."
Haylee raised her eyebrows. "What if we get─"
"Don't start on me," Derrick said cautiously, "just for today. I won't bother you again."
"But─"
"No buts."
"What if─"
