"Sour and sweet."

Lucy Reese Collins

"MISS COLLINS I WAS IMPRESSED WITH YOUR ESSAY FOR MY SUBJECT." Professor Nott says as he stops me in the hallway. The boys stop walking as well. "Tell me, how do you know so many differences between a werewolf and an Animagus?" My mom was a registered one." I lie while looking at the man. "Aah okay, is she?" "She is.. but sir, I have to get to the next class, is it okay if I go?" He nods and steps out of the way. We walk further and Nate and the others look at me. "Yeah, how do you know so much about those subjects?" Nate laughs while giving me a look. "You know why." I grin while walking into the Charms classroom. "Of course," Charles says as he sits down next to me. Nate and Cassius sit down in front of us and Noah and Theo behind us. Flitwick turns around and when he sees our groups he sighs. "Can you six promise me to pay attention this time?" He says while especially glancing at me. "Yes professor, we will." It's Theo who hits me quietly. I clear my throat, "Yes we will and professor? I have the assignment you gave us yesterday." I say with a small smile and I walk to the front to give him the parchment. "Okay then, very well. We can begin."

That night I am sitting on the ground leaning against the closet in the boys' dormitory. We are playing some games and I must say, something tells me it will be heated very quickly. "So Luce, did you and Charles have sex again after my birthday?" Jo asks, she is already pretty drunk and to be honest, so am I. "No, we didn't," I say and after I chuck my drink down. Charles pours me another one and I smile at him. "You didn't? Why did he sleep in our dormitory then?" "I was drunk and I passed out, I don't know," I say while laughing. "I was just lazy and I thought you wouldn't mind," Charles says as he winks at me. "Oh, I didn't." I bite my lip a bit what makes that Nate and Cassius roll their eyes. "Just get together already." Cassius laughs as he looks at us. "I am not in love with Lucy." Charles says at the same time as I say: "I am not in love with Charles." "Of course you are not. Then I am really happy with Hudson right now." It slips out of her mouth in a sarcastic way. Merlin, I truly underestimated their problems. "Jo...-" "Next!" She says quickly but I am surprised to see that she is still smiling. I chuck down another drink, not knowing what else to do. Jo does the same, but I know her drink was stronger because she had firewhiskey and vodka. She is going to get wasted.

A few hours later we are all pretty drunk but nobody is as drunk as Jo. She is sitting next to me and Noah while leaning against Noah who is also really drunk. I am leaning against Charles. His hands go through my hair and it relaxes me. Sometimes his lips touch my ear or neck, but nobody seems to care. "Do you want some more?" I hear Noah say to Jo while holding the almost empty bottle of vodka. "Yea-" "Can't you see that she had enough?!" Theo snaps. He finally stopped staring at the two and got in action. "Why would you care, mate?" Charles says confused. These guys are absolutely clueless. "I don't care," Theo says coldly while leaning back at the bed. "Yes, you do!" Noah says while exchanging a look with me and Charles. I can't say anything, I promised Theo. "-and I know why." Noah says as he grabs Jo's chin and kisses her. Jo's lips move with Noah's for a moment. Before I can realise it Theo stands and pulls the two away from each other. Not soon after Noah gets the first punch. Charles and I don't know how fast we have to stand and we quickly get to the fighting boys. Nate and Cassius try to get a hold of Theo while we get Noah out of the way. Charles pulls Noah out of the way just when Theo breaks out of Nat's grip again. After it goes really fast. His fist hits my nose and I can hear how it breaks. I turn away from the boys leaning against one of the beds while blood flows out of my nose and falls on the floor. "Theo what did you do?!" Nate and Charles yell at the boy and he leaves the dormitory quickly.
