Weltschmerz

Chapter 6

ꩮ

Normani sat in the library, groaning as she turned another page of 'A dark history of witches'.  She had been at the library for the past 3 hours, but after she read the fourth article on Anna Bolina she realized that the girl actually inhabited a portray at the Grand Staircase and contemplated to just ask the woman herself about her history. 

It was really silly the woman was Queen of England for a short time in 16th century and one of many wives to King Henry the 8th. She was beheaded for tons of things she probably hadn't even committed, as well as wizardry. The most bizarre thing in one of the articles was the rhyme to remember how all wifes of King Henry the 8th had died.

Normani shook her head in disbelieve as she read 'Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived'. She began scribbling down the rhyme, when she noticed someone towering over her.  

"Kordei, Fancy seeing you here." the boy said, before pulling out a chair and taking a seat next to the raven haired girl. 

"Robinson." Normani stated flatly, only quickly glancing at the taller boy.

The boy contemplated for a second, but then took a deep breath in. 

"I'm surprised you're here and not with Cabello after what the Gryffindors pulled." he snarled, slamming one of his books on the table and causing Madam Pince to give him a stern look. 

Normani looked up unimpressed. "They always pull some shit."

Khalid frowned, shaking his head. "Not like that... That was just cruel."

Confused she stared back at the boy, as he almost angrily opened his book. She remembered Camila telling her that she would go on a date with Lucy today. The girl had been unsure if she should even go, but Normani had told her that she definitely should. "Wait... What do you mean- Di-did something happen?"

Madam Pince shushed her from her afar, causing Khalid to flinch and lower his voice, while Normani only rolled her eyes at the woman in annoyance.   

"Well... yeah." Khalid whispered, shaking his head. "You don't know? Lucy and Lauren apparently had a bet going."

Normani quickly got up, causing the chair to loudly screech over the wooden floor. "What do you mean, Khalid."

"They went swimming in the lake... ." Khalid began, before he was interrupted.

"Camila cant swim!" Normani informed him, balling her hands into fists, before quickly gathering her things and stuffing them into her bag, threatening the worst.  

"... I just know that Lucy started the bet to get a date with Lauren... One of the Gryffindors said that Lucy got Camila naked before they left her with no clothes in the lake and... ."

"Thats it Ms. Kordei and Mr. Robinson... get out of my library." Madam Pince whisper-yelled as she made her way towards them.

With fury in her eyes Normani glared at Madam Pince before she swiftly left the library without another word. 

Normani muttered threats under her breaths as she ran out of the castle and down to the lake. She had made Camila go on this damn date. She partly felt responsible for the things that had happened. She should have known not to trust a Gryffindor.   

Not able to find even one student at the lake she made her way back to the castle and into the dungeons, expecting the girl to be in their room.

When she still couldn't find Camila she threw her bag down in their room and made her way to the Great Hall. Her eyes swiftly scanned for the Cuban girl, but instead found her girlfriends  sparkling eyes. Suddenly she realized something. Taking a deep breath in, she made her way up towards their table until she stood in front of her girlfriend.
