Chapter 7

What is wrong with you?!

Before the chapter starts, thank you so much for the nice comments! This really means a lot! To be honest, I thought nobody would read this.

Shoutout to my friend Paula! She is one of the people who helped me chose the title, and Paula said she'd read my story, even though she is not a Harry Potter fan. Thank you, girl!

Enjoy the chapter!

I was studying in the library. I had decided to skip dinner, since I had to work on a Potions essay. The library was almost empty. There were only some first years working on homework, and some seventh years making out in the far corner of the library. A few people entered and left, but nobody bothered me, and I didn't bother them. My essay was almost finished, when I felt a presence next to me. I turned my head and saw a girl with shoulder length, dark brown hair next to me. She had beautiful brown eyes. The girl smiled at me: "Hello! I'm Eve. I saw you working and decided to work next to you. Do you mind?" "No, not at all! I'm Y/n. Nice to meet you!" I smiled back. Eve took a quick glance at my essay. "You've got this wrong. Do you mind?" She took my work in her hands and corrected my answer. "Thank you! Snape would've killed me!" I thanked her. Eve chuckled and gave my essay back. "No worries! Maybe you wanna study together?" She suggested. "I'd love to!" I smiled widely. "Great! Meet here, tomorrow at six?" Eve asked. "I'm free! See you tomorrow, Eve!" I collected my stuff and stood up, since I was done. "See you tomorrow, Y/n!" She replied and turned her attention to her homework. I walked out of the library happily. I had just got a new friend, and a study buddy.

I walked down the halls back to my common room. My footsteps echoed trough the school, as the night slowly fell over Hogwarts. Seeing the sky trough the window, I turned around and walked straight to the Astronomy Tower. The tower had always been my favourite place in the whole castle. Sitting there and thinking or just looking at the night sky had always been my way of relaxing.

I made my way up the tower. I walked to the very edge and grabbed the railings. The night sky was truly beautiful. I was so engulfed in my own thoughts, that I didn't even notice someone walking up to me, until they were next to me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and quickly turned around. Stormy grey eyes met my gaze, and I instantly recognised the person. I pushed past the boy and tried to walk away, but he grabbed my wrist before I could. "Y/n, please! Just listen to me!" He begged. "What do you want, Malfoy?" I spat his name. The boy looked hurt by this, but I couldn't care less. He slowly let go of my wrist and sighed: "I guess I deserve that" I glared at him before asking: "What do you want, Malfoy?" This time my voice sounded even more venomous. "Just wanted to tell you something." Malfoy looked down at his shoes. "And what may that be? It better be important, since you ruined my peaceful moment!" I was getting irritated.

"Well, there's no easy way to say this, but..." he trailed off. "JUST SPIT IT OUT!" I lost my patience. "Fine!" He also snapped, "Remember the night at the black lake?" I slowly nodded, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. "It was dare!" He spat. "W-What? You lied to me? You don't actually like me?" I was sad, and hurt. But a little bit of anger boiled inside of me. 'He better not cross the line, or I will make his life hell!' My mind was already coming up with plans to hurt him. "Who would like you?! You're a pathetic excuse for a pureblood witch! Besides, have you seen yourself? You're worse than mudblood Granger, and that's saying a lot!" Malfoy sneered.

"DON'T CALL HERMIONE MUDBLOOD!" I yelled at him, completely ignoring the insults thrown at me. Even tho my parents had always thought me to swallow my pride and forgive, I couldn't help, but be angry. He was openly bullying my friend, right in front of me.

"Pathetic!" Malfoy insulted me once again. Now he had definitely crossed the line. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" I yelled with tears slowly filling my eyes. I turned around and ran out of the Astronomy tower, down the stairs and into a girls bathroom. There I sank to the floor and cried.

I was heartbroken. I always thought he actually liked me. Yes, I was already angry with him, but I would've forgiven if he had just tried. Now, there was almost no hope for this. No hope for us.

So that's that. It's short, I know! But I wanted to get something out for you, so this will have to do. Anyways, I hope you're doing well, and staying home!

Stay safe! Love you!
