Chapter 10:

The next morning Adalia woke awkwardly. She had, had the strangest dream that night about her hands glowing or something. Lucious was there.. She gulped as it came streaming back to her crap she thought inwardly. Once again she was the last one up and out of bed. good.I can miss breakfast. That should do me some good. She tried to coax herself but if was no good. She stared down at her hands and sighed and then got up, stretching as she got ready for the day.

Unfortunately she was not too late for breakfast but the boys seemed to have already finished and left.or just hadn't been there in the first place. She ate quickly by herself, ignoring her friends trying to talk her into sitting with them and then hurried off to her first class which she had with.gryffindors. When she reached the classroom, she found the boys had not gotten there yet. Adalia took the last spot in the back of the classroom where most of the seats around her were already taken. Right as the bell rung, the boys walked in, not seeming to notice their teacher's glare from behind his desk. They all looked over at Adalia who sunk into her chair and picked up her book so she didn't have to look at them. Luckily there had already been someone else sitting on either side of her. There was a bit of whispering and as Adalia put her book down, realized that Sirius was on one side of her and Remus on the other. In her head she was cursing herself for having come to class at all.

"Adalia." Sirius started but Mr.Benchnot began to speak. His lecture had begun. Adalia once again put up her book but Sirius only moved it so that it would sheild him and her together. She refused to look at him.

"Adalia, you are going to have to talk about it eventually." Sirius said plainly as Adalia cringed. She did not want to talk about it.

"."

"Adalia," he said a little more forcefully as her head looked down to her hands which were fidgiting.

"I don't want to talk about it." She replied softly.

"You have a thing for not wanting to talk about things." Sirius blurted out and Adalia shot him a menacing glare. She put the book down and raised her hand. Mr.Benchnot nodded towards her.

"May I move up to the front? I forgot about putting in my contacts this morning." Adalia said making sure not to look at Sirius or Remus.

"All right but next time do it before class." Mr.Benchnot replied with a sigh and then returned to his lecture. Adalia gathered up her things and moved to the empty spot in the front row. She hated the front row but it was away from the boys and that was good enough.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~

After class Adalia rushed to the library where she had decided to spend her lunch. She settled herself down at a table but before she could do anything else, Sirius was sitting down across from her. Adalia ignored him.

"Adalia talk to me!" he said in an exhasperated whisper. Adalia slammed a book down on the table and opened it up to a random page.

"No. I don't like to talk about things remember?" she said coldly and heard him groan.

"You won't talk about things or admit to things! And most of all you wont take help! Why not Adalia? You need to talk about this! You did something. That curse should have put me in the hospital for at least a couple days." Sirius was not worrying about his voice now. Instead he had stood up and his face looked extremely angry.

"I take help when I NEED it! And I'm sorry if I don't tell you every little thing!" she said.

"Every little thing? This isnt a freaking little thing!" he cut her off.

"You know what? Maybe it should be my choice on what I say and when I say it! Don't you try and start controling me Sirius.padfoot.whatever!" she said harshly.

"I am not controling you I'm trying to help you! Forgive me if I care!" he shouted. Now the whole library was staring at them. The librarian was not there once again.

"Since when did you actually care about the girls you went out with? You know I bet you didn't even mean it when you said what you did to me! Screw you Sirius. I will not talk about this unless I want to and it sure as hell wont be with you." She practically screamed. Sirius looked as though he had been shot. He stared blankly at her.

"You think I didn't mean it? Is that it? Well how the hell do I know you meant it towards me?"

"You don't give a damn about me Sirius. I'm just another trophy right? Except my trophy is bigger than other girls because you can successfully say that you made a girl fall literally in love with you. Congrats. But I guess now is the time to move on to a bigger and better trophy because we are over!" she yelled not realizing what she was saying. Sirius just stood there staring at her, his mouth wide. Adalia grabbed her books and stormed out of the library. She stopped when she reached the Ravenclaw common room. Her knees gave way on her and she fell onto the empty couch, sobbing into a pillow. She felt an arm wrap around her. Looking up it was Clay with a worried expression on his face. She shook her head as if to say don't ask and then lay her head on his shoulder, crying until there were no more tears to be spilt. When she had finally calmed down, she glanced at her watch.

"Oh Clay! Class! I'm so sorry!" she said as she realized that she had been crying for about thirty minutes. It was now about twenty minutes through their next class. Clay half smiled.

"Don't worry about it. You have enough to worry about it seems." He said stroking her hair. She sniffled slightly and wiped her eyes.

"You can go. I'll be all right." She said standing up shakily.

"No it's all right I'll stay." He said standing up also.

"No really. Go. I need to take a walk anyway." She said and he nodded.

"OK but when you are ready to talk I'm here to listen just to let you know." He said, kissing her on the cheek and then leaving the common room without another word. Adalia smiled softly at this. Clay had always been there for her. Never forced anything. Just been the best friend she always needed. They had kept in touch when she had left Hogwarts and she was glad they did. There were just some things Lily didn't understand. Adalia thought she had left all of the mysterious happenings at Durmstrang. She thought that returning to Hogwarts would be different and for almost the whole year she had been right but now her past was starting to come back to her. Her life, her.gifts. Why couldn't it have stayed at away from Hogwarts.away from everything.
