We walk over to the circle of chairs at the far side of the room. Ron and Hermione are sitting next to each other. The girl with the long ginger hair is sat next to Hermione on a large chair where Harry sits next to her.

I sit down on a red blanket that is laid over the ground. It's a knitted blanket with a large orange strip going down the middle of it.

On the table in front of us is a row of tiny glasses and a large bottle of with clear liquid inside. Next to that is a tiny vile which is similar to something used in Uncle Severus' class.

I look to my left and Malfoy has parked himself next to me on the blanket. I look at him and roll my eyes at him. What game is he trying to play here?

"So who wants to go first then?" Ron says with a smile.

"I will." Hermione replies while shrugging her shoulders.

"What happened to you?" Harry says with a shocked expression on his face. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth." She says while looking at Ron and then looking at the ginger haired girl next to her.

"Have you ever seen Ron naked?" The girl with the ginger hair asks her.

Everyone darts there eyes at the girl with a look of disapproval in there face.

"Why would you even ask that Ginny? That's your brother." Neville says.

"So what? Like none of you lot aren't the tiniest bit curious to know." Ginny snaps back at him.

"Yes. I have." Hermione interrupts. "You happy now?" She says and then looks at Ginny. "Ivy. Truth or dare?"

I don't know which is the safer option here. Hermione wouldn't ask me anything bad would she? "Truth." I reply.

"Are you a virgin?" She asks me and then instantly starts laughing.

I look at Malfoy and he has a massive grin on his lips. The smug git is enjoying this. He knows that I won't lie. There's no point if they're asking questions about us.

Luna starts to giggle as we make eye contact. She already knows what happened in the tower.

"No. I'm not a virgin." I say trying to act confident. I had never felt to awkward in my life. "Malfoy. Truth or dare?"

He looks at me and smiles. God that smile is going to get me killed one day. "Dare." He replies without hesitation.

"I dare you to drink whatever is in that vile." I say pointing at the little glass vile on the table. This should be interesting. It looked like Veritaserum, which means that he would actually have to tell the truth for once.

He pulls himself off the floor and grabs the small vile from the table. He pulls the pointy lid off and pours it down his throat. He then takes the larger bottle off the table and takes a swig of that. His face doesn't even change at the taste of the alcohol. "Seamus. Truth or dare?" He says sitting back down next to me.

"Truth." Seamus says looking Malfoy dead in the eye. "Do your worst."

"Okay. Who's the hottest girl in the game?" He says with a curious look on his face. "Because I know who I'd say."

"Who would you say is the hottest girl then, Malfoy?" Seamus says calling his bluff. He can't get out of this. He had to tell the truth.

"Snape. Isn't that who you were going to say Finnigan?" He asks with a cocky attitude.

"Yes. I was actually." Seamus says raising his voice.

"It's always the same with you Gryffindors. Always wanting my sloppy seconds." He says standing up and taking another drink from the large bottle. "You can have her anyway. She clearly doesn't want me anymore."

"Why would I want somebody who never even wanted me in the first place." I shout back at him. "I'm just another easy fuck to you aren't I?"

He starts to step closer to me and looks me up and down. "It was easy. Drunken fuck at the top of the astrology tower. How's your arm by the way?"

"You're a vile fucker you know that?" I say realising that he really does see me as worthless. I get up off the floor and smash the small vail off the table and pick up a shard of glass. I hold out my arm and drag the glass across the writing on my forearm. It hurt but no way near as the quill did. Everyone in the group is silent as they watch me cut into my arm. "I wish I never set eyes on you."

I drop the glass on the dirt and walk away from everyone. Malfoy stands there with a shocked expression on his face. It was either the potion wearing off of the alcohol setting in.

I push back through the crowd of dancers again and make my way to the entrance of the tent.

"The fuck happened to your arm?" Blaise says as I storm past him. He grabs hold of my left hand and stops me from leaving. "Ivy! Stop. Your bleeding."

"Well no shit." I say trying to pull away from him. I didn't want him to see my arm. The writing is still visible even through the blood.

"Look I'll walk you back to your dorm just please don't leave alone." He says concerned.

"I don't need your fucking help Blaise. I can look after myself. I don't need rescuing." I say as Blaise finally lets my hand go.

"Just get to the dorm safe. For me." He pleads.

I turn and walk away from him and head straight back to the tower.

"Why the long face muggle fucker?" You can't catch a bloody break with this girl. Parkinson is leaning next to the tower opening on her own.

I pull my wand from out of my boot and point it at her face. "You may have won Malfoy. But that doesn't mean you get to talk to me like that."

"So you already know then. He always was a good kisser." She says then pressing her lips together.

"One more fucking word, Parkinson. And I'll zap your ass into Azkaban."

She stands in silence waiting for me to lower my wand. Her face is like a slapped arse. Speechless. Finally.

I lower my wand and tuck it back into my boot. As I do so she turns her back to me and walks in the opposite direction.

Walking out of the tower. I wave my wand and I'm back in my dorm. Alone. I look on my bedside table and my watch is lying there with a note underneath it.

Found this at the tower. You should look after things better.
