-chapter 14

Victoria felt shit as fuck as she try to stand up but her exhausted body failed her. Victoria think that her head skull is gonna crack up any moment for it's unbelievable pain.

She put her hand to her forehead, massaging it softly. She looked around to her surroundings and she noticed that she was the only one left in the Girl's Dormitory.

She checked the time and her eyes widened as she realized that she missed breakfast. She hid her face using both her hands as she groaned in frustration. She's trying to remember what happened last night but she couldn't. The only she remembered was the Fire Whiskey in her hands while singing the Hogwarts song with Gideon and people cheering for Gideon to his victory.

I must gotten drunk because of the Fire Whiskey Victoria thought.

Victoria forced her body to stood up. She went to the bathroom and she splashed some tap water to her face. She looked at the mirror, blinking several times then a memory popped up into her head.

*flashbacks*

The drunk Victoria bid her farewell to her bestfriend, Gideon as she drink up the Fire Whiskey in her hand, singing the Hogwarts song in a drunk tone. She was walking on her way to her common room when she saw a shadowy figure. She raised her wand even though her world is spinning.

"I'm no enemy, Cygnus..." Said the shadowy figure that Victoria easily recognize

"Oh! If isn't it my favorite person!" Victoria replied in her obvious drunk tone

Tom revealed himself to Victoria, stepping out from the dark. Tom wore a disgusted face.

She sounds like Professor Slughorn, Tom thought

"What are you doing here? The Curfew started ages ago" Tom said as he walked closer to Victoria

Tom noticed that Victoria was holding a bottle of Fire Whiskey so he sighed heavily knowing that Victoria was drunk.

Victoria tried to walk forward but she lost her balance because her world is spinning. Luckily, Tom immediately caught her from falling.

So, Tom, being a gentleman, helped her to reach the common room and put her to her bed in the girl's dormitory.

*end of flashbacks*

Victoria groaned in frustration as she took a quick shower then she put her uniform quickly because she's late for Potion Class.

Meanwhile, Tom was distracted —he didn't touch any of his food — he just stared at it because his mind is always repeating the events last night. He couldn't erase the image of Victoria hugging him as her eyes twinkle in admiration.

*flasbacks*

As Tom walked Victoria to the Slytherin Common Room, he can't help but to notice that Victoria was looking at him

He was annoyed by it.

"What!?" Tom snapped out as he stopped walking to face Victoria

"Your eyes is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen" Victoria said as she looked at his eyes in adoration

Tom can't believe what the girl has just said. He looked at the girl with a unreadable look, thinking if she really meant it.
