[ Laura's POV ]

The rest of the day, and in fact the week, went surprisingly fast, with all of my lessons involving Danny in some way, we managed to get seats next to each other and our ‘friendship’ was quickly progressing.

“Laura, are you coming down to dinner?” Danny interrupted any imaginations of me and Danny that my brain could imagine, and I found myself replying without thinking twice

“Yeah, I’ll be down in a bit” I replied

“Do you want me to meet you down there?” Danny asked as she pulled back the drapes surrounding my bed

“I won’t be a minute” I stuttered

“cool, let’s go then” Danny outstretched her hand to help me up, and when she tried to pull it out of my grip I just tightened it even more and raised her eyebrows at me

“I’m not bothered about people knowing, about my… who I like” I shyly squeezed her hand and the biggest grin appeared on her face.

We entered the Great Hall and I nearly pulled my hand out of hers, people could be so mean, I knew that from first-hand experience, but the grin that still remained on Danny’s face told my heart not to, and so I didn’t, but kept it firmly intertwined with hers.

As we walked up to the Gryffindor table Lafontine smirked at me and Perry did a weird wink, but the strangest reaction was Carmilla’s; I caught her attention and she smiled at me and did a thumbs up, but the smile didn’t quite reach her eyes, and disappeared too quickly for it to be legitimate.

“Are you guys…?” Kate asked us

“Yeah, is that going to be a problem?” Danny asked her, looking her right in the eye

“Uh, no. I just want to know where I stand in all of this…” she looked back at her plate and focused on separating the peas from the sweetcorn.

As we went into Defence Against the Dark Arts with Professor Shepard, he informed us that today, we would be changing seats. We had to sit with a student that was in a different house. A shock going up my arm from my wrist, told me that someone had grabbed it. I turned around to Carmilla asking me

“do you want to sit together, only because you and your… you and Danny can’t?” Carmilla gazed at her shoes and quickly let go of my wrist. I had that tingly feeling again.

“Yeah, no problem” I replied

I looked over at Danny and noticed the look of hatred that rested on the Slytherin girls’ face that was sat next to her, from being forced to listen to her constant chatter that she saved for people she disliked. And it was needless to say that she disliked this girl. It was probably because she overheard the remark about catching homosexuality that this particular girl said to her friends.

“How is it going with making friends around here?” I joked with Carmilla

“It’s not going anywhere creampuff” she replied “that’s the problem, I can’t trust people like you do” she winked at me

“Well then, let someone in, let someone who isn’t me in” I offered her a spare quill, she never had one, something I had recently realised

“That’s easier said than done cutiepie” she took it and her hand brushed mine. A chill went down my spine, and I visibly shivered

 “Sorry, I didn’t mean to…” she started

“No – it’s fine, I… I don’t know what I’m feeling” I rested my head on the table and felt Carmilla put a hand on the small of my back

“I know how you’re feeling, really, I do” she had started rubbing circles “and I really want to help you, but I don’t know how to”

I was dumbfounded, speechless and clueless as to how I should react, so I didn’t. I just sat there and let her comfort me, and thankfully Professor Shepard noticed I wasn’t doing great and left me alone, well, alone with Carmilla

“Carm, I don’t think this is going to do any good to anyone” I reluctantly told her “I want all of this, mess inside of my head to be sorted out but I don’t know how to”

“It gets better, I can promise you that” she moved her hand off my back and started packing up her belongings

“Laura, hey are you okay? Do you want me to get someone?” Danny put her arm around my shoulders and I accepted the hug she offered.

“I have a great idea, instead of going to transfiguration with McGonagall, we should go and hang out in the quad” Carmilla brought my attention away from Danny and onto her

“I don’t think that’s a good idea, McGonagall will just put us in detention” Danny challenged

“How about we let Laura decide who she wants to go with?” Carmilla took a step closer to Danny

“Finally you’re speaking sense” Danny glared at her

This was when they both looked at me; I couldn’t do this, no way. It was an impossible question.

“No, this isn’t happening” I backed off “I’m not choosing between you two” I turned and ran, as fast as I could up to the Gryffindor common room, earning a few odd looks, sprinted up the stairs and into our bedroom, thankfully nobody was there. I drew the curtains around my bed, then crawled underneath it with a pillow and curled up into a ball.
