"WE SHOULD GET OUT OF HERE, DO YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE?" He says while looking around. We are dancing and standing very close to each other. I chuckle a bit and look around as well. Everyone seems to be busy with other things. "Yea, I would love to," I say as I look back at the boy. He puts a string of my hair behind my ear and his eyes go to my lips for a minute. "Great," he whispers and after his lips touch mine. The taste of cherry slips into my mouth and I can only smile against his lips. His mouth leaves mine and he suddenly presses kisses on my cheek and neck, making me giggle. Merlin, I am really drunk. "Now let's get out." He groans with his lips close to mine. "I think I changed my mind, I kinda like it here," I say with a grin. Suddenly he grabs my neck while pulling me even closer and it kind of turns me on. Some people stare at us in shock, including James and Sirius who both look pretty confused. I wink at them making Charles holding me tighter. "Let's get out of here." "With you? Always." I smile and after his mouth crashes on mine again. We make out and I am the one who pulls away, grabbing his hand from my neck and leading him outside.
We walk all the way to the Astronomy tower and on our way there we stop a few times to kiss. His hands are constantly all over my body and it causes that I can't wait to get him on my own. As we arrive up there he immediately pulls me closer to get rid of my dress by literally throwing it over the balcony. "Ah, I kinda liked that one." I pout while watching how the dress slowly falls down. "You are more beautiful without one." He whispers as his hands go to my bra. A smile appears on my face as I stop him and start unbuttoning his blouse. I bite on my lip when his body appears and slowly slide my hands over his stomach till I arrive at his jeans. "Tell me, Garfield. How bad do you want this?" I say while cupping my chin in my hands. "I want this, Luce." "Beg," I say playing the game he played many times. "Luce, I-" "Okay, then I will go back to the party." "Without dress?" "If I have to," I say as I start walking away from him. "Luce please-" I turn around and look him in the eyes. "Yea?" I say while stepping closer again. "Luce fuck me...-" He whispers as I get closer and closer to him. "Hmm?" "Please baby, I need you. Fuck me, baby girl." He begs and I open his pants with a grin. "I would love to."

I wake up with his arms around me and the realisation comes directly. "Oh no," I mumble as I get up and gather my things. "Where is my dress?" "I kind of threw it outside." His deep voice interrupts my thoughts. "Come back to bed, Luce." "I can't, I can't keep doing this... You broke me last year, Charles." I say painful while looking at the boy laying on the improvised bed. "I didn't want to break you, I just wanted to give my best friend a fair shot, because he is so much better than me." "How can you say that?! I am not in love with Nate, I am in- I was in love with you!" That's a lie. I fucking love him, but he can't know that. "Than stay with me, be mine-" "I can't, as I said, you broke me! And I can't risk it if you would do it again... I won't recover... I am done." I say as I walk back to the stairs. "Lucy stop, don't walk away from me please!" I stop but don't turn around. "I can't do this anymore, understand that Charles." "I know I screwed up and I am terribly sorry, but I am begging you, don't walk away from me. From this, I can't lose you because...-" "Charles...-" I whisper in pain trying not to cry. "Because I love you!" I freeze for a moment, not knowing what to do. I want to turn around, but I know I can't. "Luce? Please...-" "I am sorry, Charles." I say as the tears roll down my cheeks. "Luce...-" He says, but I already walk away while trying to tell myself this was the right choice.

THE MUSIC IS BLASTING THROUGH OUR EARS. I'm currently dancing with James, and besides us, Sirius and Remus are laughingly dancing. Peter is nowhere to be found, he vanishes a lot these days. I look around us for a moment, first, my eyes land on Regulus and Mary McDonald, they seem happy. They're sitting on one of the couches, talking amusingly, holding drinks that haven't been used much. I turn back to see Nathaniel and Lianna dancing close near James and me. Honestly, I think I've never seen them dance, or for that matter talk at all. They seem to have fun anyways. "What are you thinking about?" James asks as the blasting music turns to a slow song. "Nothing in particular," I say honestly. "You're really not good, aren't you?" I shake my head. "I'm fine, but-" "You're lying." "Yes, I am." He gives me half a smile. "I hate to see you unhappy, Jo. You deserve more." "Can we not talk about this, I- I just don't want to talk about this right now, not ever," I state. "Jo,.." "Please don't." The song ends and that's the moment that I let go of his hands and turn around to walk away, only for him to follow me. "Jo, come on, you have to talk about it to someone." I turn around suddenly feeling angry and sad. "James, I don't want to talk about it, because If I do, whenever I do I break, because I'm in love with someone that I broke, and besides that, I feel so alone and I'm broken. I'm broken." I yell at him in a low voice, hoping no one sees, but there are several people staring at us. "I have lost so many people, that I will never get back. I screw up everything, I wish I never was a Ravenclaw, or ever even attended Hogwarts in the first place, I hate everything." He looks at me shocked by my burst. "I'm sorry," I whisper, apologizing for my sudden burst. But before I can let him speak or say something in return I turn and walk away. Leaving the party just like Lucy did about an hour ago. She was dancing with Charles, and from the looks of it, there was some strong tension between the two. I think I will not be seeing her tonight.
When leaving the room of requirement, where we were holding the spring party, I dry my cheeks of the tears that started falling. Walking alone through the empty cold corridors, crying with no one to see. I am broken and I have no idea how to fix it. I keep on walking even if I just want to sit down and let it all out. As I turn around the corner I get startled by two figures standing close to each other against the wall. At first, I can't seem to make out their faces, but then when the taller figure turns around, from the sound of my footsteps, I stare right back in his brown eyes. I guess he can see my puffy red eyes and the shock of realization in my face because he has the same look. "Jo?" He asks, but I'm frozen to the ground when my eyes meet her blue ones. He was standing over her like he always did with me. "I-I'm sorry." You can clearly hear that I'm upset, but it doesn't matter. I quickly walk past the couple to open the door to the Ravenclaw common room.
"Jo, please wait." I turn around to face him. "You got a bit of lipstick on your mouth," I state as he did with me that one time. He slowly wipes it off with his hand. "I thought we're supposed to start being friends again," I speak disclosed. "You're saying it yourself, friends, I can have a girlfriend right." "Oh, so she is your girlfriend now." He looks a bit confused before I can see the look in his eyes change, "You have no right to judge me. You're the one who was making out, what the hell, probably even hooking up with others, while we were still together."
"I never hooked up with him while we were in a relationship and yes I know I'm screwed up. I'm a god damn mess for anyone asking, but the one thing I do know is that I have feelings for you, strong feelings. You're the one that I love." "I wish you would've said that when it still mattered." He says before leaving the common room. I make my way back to my dormitory, sliding out of the pretty dress and slipping myself into the cold empty bed.
