Lia Kim is in her fourth year when she finally returns to Hogwarts. She is received with open arms by everyone, expect her own house who fears her status and despises her alliances. Especially one particular Slytherin can't seem to stop bothering he...
In my first year I had been forced to go into the forbidden forest with Potter and his stupid friends, only a cowardly dog to protect me. What I had seen that day had scarred me ever since, making me forever avoid the place. I had no problem with the border though, going in just enough to still see the castle. I liked the privacy it provided, the shade and the calmness. It was much better than the library or the common rooms where there were always people. My said hobby to wander between the trees had first led me to her...and him.
Lia and Cedric had carelessly hidden by a tree I had previously claimed as my study tree. I at first wanted to yell at them but when they had gotten rather busy with each other my anger was replaced with something else. I couldn't put my finger on it but it had been a negative emotion far more severe than anger ever could be. I decided to haunt her with it, using the knowledge to my advantage and make her my slave.
Only could I never demand anything atrocious from her, no matter how hard I tried.
The worst thing I had managed to come up with had been to wash my socks but she had only thrown them into the lake with the words ''What? Doesn't washing include making them wet?'' and somehow that had only made me like her more.
Looking back I was probably jealous. I had wanted to put pressure on her in the hopes of her breaking up with Diggory without even knowing that it was because I wanted her to be mine.
Now the relationship was out in the open and I was suffering. My desire to get closer to her got crushed every time I saw her with Diggory - which was an awful lot. It was like she was never without him!
I had thought about threatening to reveal how she was sneaking her boyfriend into our dorms (I honestly had no idea how no one else noticed this but me, especially her protector of a brother) but the thought made me feel icky. I didn't want her to be with me because I had to force it out of her.
Today was a cloudless and sunny day, the winter slowly being pushed back by spring and I had decided to study outside without any annoying company.
That's when she decided to show up again. She was wearing a black long sleeved dress and her hair was for once not put in place with countless pieces of jewelry but flowing around freely in the wind.

Her black boots, which she seemed to love even though they were so contradicting her usual petite style, dug up the grass as she ran. I noticed all of that secondary to the bright smile she carried on her face as she laughed. She turned her head around to look at something behind her and I forced myself to look away from her beauty. The smile that had snuck onto my face upon seeing her faded the second I saw Cedric Diggory running behind her, his smile as equally wide and happy as hers. I immediately wanted to scowl. Crazy how someone's happiness could make you this miserable, I thought.
