This is the third time she'd been losing track of stuff this week. Not only that she missed some of her morning classes, she can't help but be more agitated to open up with the "small fight" she had at Potions with Dino just the other day.

Or at least, for her it was...

She just felt... dismissed.

"Lucy wouldn't have much to say about that, you know how much younger she is in our group. And they seemed to be fine." Dino is part of the committee the other Gryffindors' in. "I'm sure there's nothing major wrong. You've talked to them already, right?"

"What part of what I said 'they're giving me silent treatment' did you not understand?" She tried to keep her tone steady, not as loud either as they're still in class.

She sighs, more so as the other just looked preoccupied at their pair activity and nonchalant to the conversation.

Though he's one that she can rely on the group since last year with the Gryffindors but she's feeling more lost at his words.

"I'm sure they have a reason they did that. You're not sure either what you're doing, right? You're also as confused about how to confront you too..." Dino says, and for Lumi it is for a matter a fact-ly. "The way I see it, you did everything you did. Yet still... Maybe you keep adjusting that yourself to fit them that now, you no longer know where to put yourself in the situation."

It only made it clear for her that it is only her that's compromising. Yet they're dismissing her all the same.

Even now that, yes, the conversation just had been brought out to the table. As it infuriates her how are they still coming at her even though they're practically done. She just wanted answers but on how this turned out, she's left more drained than she is from before.

So there's a reason? They're making me feel this way? There's a plausible reason, that any of this is not actually real and they're just not aware of it?

They're not as aware and sure of what they're doing to me?

As reassuring Chan's words were, it still feels off for her.

Just as the cauldron fumes and rattles, the raging feeling in her chest compress as well. So goes the potion they're making, making it overflow. Dino could only berate at her for not minding their activity.

She doesn't understand.

Dino is neutral, and that hurt Lumi.

Not just that their table was left messy, even the tension between them.

Call about invalidated.

She doesn't know anymore.

As she's lost in her own train of thoughts again, she almost bumps into someone much more of a coincidence once again.

"Aish, I told you to be careful."

It was the same older Slytherin male she encountered the other day. She blushes, quite hard as Yoongi squints at him. (He just has bad eyesight, nothing personal).

Merlin, she's got to get out of her own head already.

Lumi quickly bows at him, getting out of his way. "I'm sorry, I'm not this usually distracted."

"Yoongi-sunbae!" A voice is coming from afar, towards the two of them. This made Lumi's face fumes more as the two Slytherins interacted in front of her.

"I told you to just call me Yoongi-sshi." The Slytherin prefect side eyes the younger, though more stressed as Lee Jihoon hands him a familiar parchment. Not this again.
