Nobody gets too close
A sight of a soul when it's breaking
Making my heart grow cold ”

Acacia's POV

I fucked up. I should not be allowed to make decisions and I should be locked up or leashed.

This is exactly why I was so much better off as a background character, I do not deserve my own story because I'm one dumb lass.

So here's what happened.  Managed to escape and I was sitting on the edge, Dangerously close to the lake when James Potter came.

He was alone to my surprise and I quickly got up to face him. "Where's my wand?" I asked him and he crossed his arms. " Sirius got it. He'll give it to you if you tell me what I want." I only nodded understandingly.

They're persistent, I'll give them that. "Alright. What do you wanna know?" I mirrored him and cross my arms too, If anyone is to see us out her, We're toast.

"Why were you out there?" Should I say I'm a werewolf? No, It wasn't a full moon so I'm not gonna be fooling someone who is best friends with one.

How did I even know? On the day of the full moon, Professor Lupin was nowhere to be seen and Snape is making us learn about werewolves in his absence.

Only a stupid git like Ron would not get it. Or I'm just very observant?

Either way, I know. They don't know that I know, I could use that knowledge as a leverage but I'm above blackmailing. Such a coward's tool.

"Curiousity." I vaguely answered and he narrowed his eyes at me, "You're a self-proclaimed prankster. You can't tell me you won't be curious if someone told you to stay away from a place that will lead you to a horrible death."

I'm actually not that stupid to go to the Forbidden Forest when I know the dangers of the place but I have to think like a troublemaker.

I'm a Slytherin for Salazar's sake and I do not get myself in trouble. I simply escape a situation I do not wish to be in and save my own ass.

But he nodded slowly. I'm guessing he did the very same, Who wanna bet he almost died in first year?

"Why were you hurt?" Right. I casted glamour charms on my cheeks because the small scars are yet to heal and I don't wanna be seen with it.

Not because I think scars are ugly, If anything they're remarkable. Each one holding a story and those memories, good or bad, are now forever marked on your skin like a constant reminder that whatever it was...you survived.

I just don't want to entertain questions about it. I already have four boys tormenting me, I don't need any more about my ugly mug.

"Stroll in the woods gone wrong?" I smiled forcefully and he clicked his tongue. He's not believing me, I should specify what I did.

Uhhh do I tell him I wrestled the giant squid like I always wanted to? Do I tell him I climbed a tree and fell off?

"I was looking for my pet rat." I started and he frowned, "You have a pet rat?" He asked in disbelief. I get it, A Slytherin cuddling a rat?

"Not anymore. He got eaten by a wolf and I uhh got attacked." He seemed convinced so I let out a sigh of relief.

"Why did you run?" Now this I don't know how to answer. God I'm so dumb, I can't believe I praised myself for that move.

I even trash talked Granger when I ran like a guilty suspect to a murder! I don't deserve a medal, I deserve a smack in the face.

"I panicked. Four guys backing me into a wall is pretty scary." It was no lie, I was scared and nervous. Though I did bring it upon myself for not approaching them first.

"Yeah sorry about that. It's just that you're a..." Snake. I get it, I'm used to the discrimination but it still hurt.

Being a Slytherin is not all bad. We may be seem as the evil house but our self-preservation comes in handy in battles, In our determination to save ourself we survive. Our cunning personalities goes to show that we are not to be underestimated, Ambitious for we know we're all meant for greatness and we possess leadership.

"Right. You lions are all so great." I was starting to get irritated. "I know how you lot view the likes of me. A house, A title and a color does not determine who I am as a person!"

Rapidly losing my temper and cool he stepped forward to apologize but I stepped back and guess what?

I fell in the lake with a small yelp, I would be celebrating checking off one more thing in my list if I wasn't drowning.

I have never went swimming in my 16 years of existence so I stay frozen as I get pulled further down by my weight.

I was embracing the darkness. Letting everything go when I felt my chest contract, I no longer struggled to breath so I closed my eyes and just let go.

I swear to Merlin if I wake up in the 40's I'm killing Tom Riddle to end all of this.

But I didn't. I felt an arm slide around my waist and I'm being pulled back to the surface but I was out of it before we even reach land.

How many times do I have to almost die in my existence? Anyways ...

Take a swim at the Black Lake ✓
