❝ Your existence is a chronic disease, a repetition of pain. You're a
lingering attachment in my heart. ❞

For some, death felt somewhat devasting. Which is why the time Alice heard about the news from the Daily Prophet, she began to worry about Harry Potter. Looking through their compartment, she stared at the three. Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley, present, and both trying to make the boy feel better by staying by his side.

Yet Alice knew, their presence weren't enough for him. For she felt the same pain as him the time she lost her mother and brother.

The news may not be painful for her since she never met or had got tthe opportunity to know the man.

Sirius Black is dead.

"Where will you be staying this summer, Diggory?"

One of her closest friends, Pansy Parkinson questions making Alice take the seat next to Daphne facing Pansy.

"My father asked me to go to mu aunt Lizzy in the Muggle World this Summer."

Daphne furrow her eyebrows in confusion as Pansy's jaw agape in disbelief.

"Why?"

"Father is going to leave again."

"And again, why?" Daphne asked.

"Never told me anything, actually."

Pansy sighed. "You know, you should tell him that you are also his child."

The brunette smiled. "It's alright."

"Are you sure?" Daphne reassures.

"Of course I'll be. I'll be staying with my aunt and her daughter."

"Well anyways, Pansy has some big news." Daphne smirks.

"What the! Daphne!" the other one whines earning curiosity from the Diggory.

"Hmm? What news?"

Pansy bit her lips in anxiousness as she began to beg the earth to swallow her but she knew there was no turning back. She boldly sighed and held their hands.

"This is it."

"What do you mean by it?" Alice asked. "I mean specifically?"

"She's going to confess to Malfoy." Daphne squealed.

"Merlin! I wanna see!"

"Fine but first shush!"

"Still!"

"Do you think I can be able to ask Kristine to be my girlfriend?"

Gossips about the third years, this wasn't the conversation Draco wanted to hear. Snickering by his side, Blaise shook his head at Vincent Crabbe as he began to speak more about his precious crush.

But then, seeing and hearing some ridiculous words from them was one reason to keep him off his thoughts.

Especially of the specific letter he received after Christmas Eve.

Goyle gave him a disgust look. "Are you fucking kidding me right now?"

"Why don't you support me? Just for once my friend!" Vincent whines earning a laugh from Blaise.
