The Darkest Star

Chapter 16: Andromeda Walburga Black

I made a decision that I had not thought of until now but whatever, just deal with the fact that Andromeda will now have an eyebrow piercing and we're just gonna pretend that this was always a thing since the start of the sixth year, mkay?

          I sat alone in the small room of the library re-reading a book on advanced potions, I had enchanted my quill to write my essay for me while I read in the dim light. I slammed the book down huffing loudly, blowing my bangs. I stood walking to the small window, looking at the piles of white snow on the hills. I paced twisting the ring on my finger, it was already a week before Christmas and the dark lord was starting to get impatient, the worst part was that should Ly and D fail it falls on me because well, all things considered, I am their superiours. I walked out of the room frustrated, my eyes blazing. I walked down the halls, running into jake on the way, we had gotten to know each other well, he had become a close acquaintance of sorts not necessarily a friend but we got along. I would say the same for brian, my other beater. 

          "I'm going to find bri to practice for a bit, you fancy to join?" I said lazily while still walking, he struggled to keep up with my fast pace.

          "oh, yeah sure, I'll go find bri while you go get ready. we all know you need time to look pretty" he said sarcastically, I put on a look of fake offence

          "ohhhh, you bastard!" he ran down the halls, away from me. I walked down to the pitch my leather jacket slowly obtaining a thin layer of white snow. I changed quickly, pulling on a pair of fleece-lined black, heeled boots and my green and black robes, snatching my firebolt I strode out of the room to see bri and jake already on the pitch, impatient. 

         "told you so princess"

          "ugh don't even start with that absurd nickname again" I rolled my eyes and we all took off to the other side of the pitch, jake played as the backup beater so we all held our own bat in our hand. the bludger came whizzing towards me, I raised my bat a sly smirk on my black-painted lips. I hit the ball towards bri, who was zoned out, starring into space. I stuck my tongue out at his look of shock, suddenly being awoken out of his daze. he hit it just in time before it could hit him. we passed the ball for a while until we were coated in snow, our hands were red and I felt like my arms were going to fall off. we landed. jake and Bri immediately fell on the ground, both of them disappearing in the snow. I could hear them both groaning loudly, I stood my hand on my hip, trying to stifle my laughter. I grabbed their brooms and rand across the pitch, cackling. a snowball hit my back, I turned slowly, a deadly look on my face. I saw Bri and Jake stood both of them looking terrified.

          "oh, you fucked up" the looked to each other and ran in the other direction I used my wand to make a fuck ton of snowballs conjure up and throw themselves at the boy's backs with deadly accuracy. they both fell to the ground dramatically.

          "ahh, I've been shot!"

          "I can see the light!" both of them screaming constantly. I rolled my eyes, grabbing both of them by the arm pulling them to the change rooms. I walked into the girl's locker room and showered, I walked out in a black towel, rummaging through my locker for my clothes when jake walked in, he had told me that he was gay at the start of the season. he had also told me about Draco, and I don't know what to say. I was shocked but I could care less, jake is a pureblood Slytherin, so I guess it's fine. so since I was the only girl on the team I had told him it was okay if he went into my locker room to tell me whatever shit it is.

          "Andy!"

          "what do you want asshole?!" he rounded the corner and stood awkwardly. I gestured vaguely
