After the sorting hat ceremony, both Evan and D.J. were in Gryffindor much to Lydia's surprise, the reason for dress robes were introduced, the Triwizard Tournament. The Beauxbaton's performance was incredible to Lydia, the elegance of their performance took Lydia back to before Hogwarts, before she was a murder's daughter, before her father would try to ignore his nightmares with whiskey, before she couldn't have fun without being high, before everything was falling around before her, it reminded her of one of the only things that she genuinely enjoyed in the Carrow household: ballet. When she was stressed she would do a dance that she remembered, ballet was one of the Carrow's attempts to make Lydia "cultured". Lydia actually really enjoyed ballet and that's why she was so fascinated by the display. D.J. and Evan saw some of their old friends from Drumstrang, making both of them look much more in their element which made Lydia even happier, she truly did love her two new brothers.

Evan was a little bit of an asshole but that's just Evan, it's not like he says things in a condescending way, it's just his humor, once he's close with someone, it's his own form of affection. D.J., on the other hand, he is standoffish at first but once you break that barrier he's relaxed, that's how he shows his affection, being kind and relaxed and truly he is so kind.

Lydia sighed in content as she walked to the Slytherin common because Blaise still hasn't told her what his freak out on the train was about. Lydia walked up the steps to the boys fourth year dormitory, she gave a nod to Theo Nott, gave a tight lipped smile to Crabbe and Goyle, gave a "hey Draco" and kissed him on the cheek until she finally reached Blaise's four poster bed they shut the curtains and he put muffiato around them after pulling the curtains shut.

"So something happened over the summer, and I really don't know how to feel about it." Blaise started.

"Okay, well you need to tell me what happened if you want my advice." Lydia put a sympathetic hand on her friend's shoulder.

"Okay… Okay, okay, okay, I can say this, I can do this, I can say it, I… well… Draco, Draco and I. I can't do this." Blaise stuck his face in his hands.

"Well, it has to do with you and Draco, did you have a fight?" Lydia suggested.

"No, kind of the opposite?"

"What did you guys confess your love for each other?" Lydia laughed and bowed her head looking back up after she didn't hear Blaise reciprocating that laugh, she didn't see a smile, what she did see was a look of guilt, he looked guilty, as though he felt bad about what he did. "You and Draco love each other?" Lydia questioned, that didn't seem like what he was trying to say.

"No, we… we were high, like normal, and we were just sitting in my bedroom and he… he kissed me and… I...I liked it. Is that wrong?"

"Is that wrong?! You're asking me, Lasandieria Koreen Lupin-Black, originally Carrow, born daughter of two death eaters then adopted by Sirius Lupin-Black and Remus Lupin-Black, if I think it's wrong that you liked to kiss a guy?"

"Well maybe I just liked it because we're best friends."

"Can I prove you wrong?"

"How?"

Lydia put her lips to his and nothing happened. Neither of them had butterflies, neither of them felt sparks, it wasn't electric, it was normal, it was fine, it was mediocre, it would be good if they had feelings for each other but they didn't and that right there answered Blaise's question.

"But he'll never kiss me when he's sober, I asked him about it the next day and he got angry at me, told me to never mention it again, but then we got high again later that day and he kissed me again and I have no clue what to do." He groaned.

"Let me handle it, don't worry I'm not gonna talk to Draco about you but let me handle it." Lydia kissed Blaise on the cheek baid him goodbye and went to her own dormitory. This was gonna be a long year.

A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short, I've been trying to get my chapters past 1,000 words lately but I'm about to pass out and in all honesty I thought this was a good place to end this chapter. Please tell me what you think!

Thank you and stay safe!
