AFTER THE MATCH was over, they all made their way to the tent which the ministry had specially booked for the Malfoy family. Draco was on euphoria due to the match, but Cassi had returned back to her serious façade. Their tents looked normal from outside, but from inside they were lavish.
Reaching inside Cassi went directly to her bed, and sat down with a book in her hand. Knowing what was going to happen now, she couldn't sleep. She skipped through the pages trying to take her mind off worry. But doesn't matter how much she tried she wasn't able to, and the voices coming from outside didn't help either. Cassi closed her book and got out off her bed. She looked around to see that neither her Aunt nor Uncle was there. Only Draco was who was sleeping soundlessly on his bed.
Getting out of the tent, Cassi made her way away from all the noise and toward the stadium. Climbing the steps, she sat in on of the seats. It felt good to be alone here, with no around and just stillness and calmness. The air caressed her like a baby, singing a lullaby in her ears. It was peaceful and for a moment she was able to get all the worry away from her mind. But the image of those muggles she killed suddenly flashed in her mind and everything was back to normal.
"You do not look happy," A voice came. "You look like you're in lot of tension."
Cassi turned her head to see the Irish seeker making his way toward her. He looked all healed and better now.
"Lynch? Right?" Cassi said as he sat beside her.
"Aiden Lynch." He nodded. "And you are?"
"Cassiopeia Lestrange." Cassi said not caring that she just told him her real surname. "But people know me as Cassiopeia Geminis."
"Lestrange?" He furrowed his eyebrows. "Are you by any chance related to Bellatrix Lestrange?"
"She's my mother." Cassi replied.
"Oh." And Cassi was surprised to know that he wasn't affected by it. "But you seem nice to me."
"Don't you have any problem that I'm a Lestrange?" Cassi asked curiously.
"No." he shook his head. "I don't judge people on who their parents are."
Cassi smiled slightly at him, before turning to look at the pitch in front of them. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with your teammates to celebrate your victory?"
"I was with them, but then I saw you coming here." He replied. "You looked lonely."
"Did I?" Cassi asked as she turned to look at him. It was then Cassi noticed that his eyes, they were green, same like her. "I like your eyes." Cassi said before she could even think, and then mentally cringed at herself.
