I have decided to continue this book because, well, it makes me happy that someone is reading this book even if it is written by an amateur author who has no experience whatsoever in writing. Thank you for sticking with me and I hope you will enjoy this chapter. Make sure to vote and comment! 🖤

The next morning was slightly bearable with Malfoy around.

"I hate mornings." I groaned, slouching my body as I sit down on the bench.

"I know. You said that thirteen times as we were going here." Malfoy chuckled, rolling his eyes at my silliness. "Well, I should go to my table now."

Eyeing the scrumptious food laid at the table, I haven't heard what Malfoy said, "Yeah, yeah..."

I stuffed my face with my favorite food not minding the people around me.

God, I wish Harriet is with me right now..

I looked up and blinked continously, as I was in shock how fast I ate all my food. Sighing, I stopped blinking, stooped my head, and leaned my head on the cold, hardwood table.

The flapping of wings was heard nearby and owls flew in, dropping the letters, or (if you're unlucky enough) howlers, according to their owners.

Fortunately, I got a letter from my parents. I was smiling with delight as I got ready to open it, only to read terrible news from the events that happened in our place: a serial killer is on the loose, most of the wizards & witches massacred. Some of the muggles were also killed as to not alert the Wizarding Government that a murderer got away from their grasp.

I looked up and saw faces, joyful expressions, only mine to be shadowed by their happy stories: talking about their new brooms to each other, for example.

I got up, as fastly as one would if they received a horrible letter, and went straight to the owlery, bumping somnolent students on the way.

I quickly wrote a letter to my parents, my asking them if I needed to go there to help them. I slipped the letter to my owl and gave some food for her journey on the way.

The day passed by quickly, quite boring it is. I wrote some odd dreams that I made up in my dream journal (what do you think a mat on the floor with the face of my parents means?), an assignment by Professor Trelawney.

There were no classes on Potions, so I didn't really see Professor Snape that much. I was quite happy and sad at the same time, I was happy that I didn't see him as I still was ashamed for what I did that detention night. I can never forget what I did wrong, even though it was in the past, that's what my flaw is. Not forgiving myself, although it was already forgotten or has already slipped out of their minds.

Regarding to my day, I also practiced Vanishing Spells with Harriet and Malfoy, though I think Harriet's the one crushing on Malfoy. It was quite obvious, really, she was joking about how he may fall in love with her after they spent one day together. I smiled at them together, although my heart was still heavy from the news I received earlier. Malfoy was ignorant to all the signs she gave and presented.

We all went back to our respective rooms, Malfoy being the first to say goodbye.

Silence fell between the two of us, the dim hallways lacking of students.

Harriet quietly muttered, "Why doesn't he..-"

"He's gay."

She stopped abruptly, making me lead the way, "Wha- he- what?"

"He is gay." I emphasized each word, looking back at her. I was shocked at myself for even having to say that.

She studied me with consternation in her face, blinking rapidly in stupefaction. Not knowing what to do, she attempted to walk over, ended up tripping at her attempt.

Her eyes casted down to the ground, "I- you're a shitty friend, you know?" she murmured, "I noticed that, but you couldn't just even give me hope."

I turned around and gave my hand for her to stand up. She thought for a moment, then hesitantly took my hand.

"I'm.. sorry." I whispered, feeling guilty for not being ashamed for what I said.

"It's fine." but we all know she isn't.

*""*

We strolled back into our common rooms, not speaking to each other on the way. Only glancing at each other just to make sure the other one was there.

"Bye." she muttered as we got to her place.

"I'm really sorry."

"You should really be careful with your words, you know? You could hurt people without actually knowing it." her anger only unfolding now.

"I-.." I turned around and chose whether to acknowledge what she said or go away from her.

I ran away from her. Ran away from my bestfriend, my feelings, and the responsibilities of a normal person should do after receiving such a shock.

As a normal person, you'd probably cry first and make up after you're both done sobbing. Separately, of course.

As me, well, I'd probably just stare into space for a day and, then, being cold to people for a week. After that, I'd cry so hard so that my eyes would be red and swollen for the day.

Now, let's go back to the present me and see what method will I pick, shall we?

I ran and cried at the same time, not knowing where I ended up. I glanced at my watch, having a hard time seeing as my eyes were blurd from all the crying, and it was past the curfew time.

Then, I looked at my surroundings amd it seems that I have gone to the place where the person I want and needed is.

I shook my head, hesitatingly wondering if I should do this.

I did. What happened next will surprise you! (Probably because I've never done this before.)

I don't know.
