Chapter 01.
Faith's Point of View.
Without realizing it, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was getting dark.
I took a shower and went to the Great Hall.
I sat at my table and put food on my plate.
"Faith!"
Cassandra Floyd sat next to me and kissed my cheek.
She was one of my roommates.
She had straight black hair at shoulder height, fair skin and matching eyes with her hair.
I nodded in greeting.
"How are you, Cassandra?"
"Good. Where were you all day?"
"In the room. I wasn't feeling well."
"And last night?"
I sighed.
"I went to a party in the Gryffindor common room."
"What?!"
Some people stared at us.
I put a finger to my lips.
"Keep your voice down, please."
"I'm sorry. You never went to a party before. Someone invited you?"
"Something like that."
Cassandra looked at me curiously.
"What do you mean?"
"Well..."
Flashback.
I left the library and went to the common room.
It was getting dark.
I turned a corner and saw Professor McGonagall.
"Good evening, professor."
"Miss Maddox! Good thing I find you!"
I looked at her curiously.
"Can I help you with something?"
"Did you see Miss Hale?"
I shook my head.
Professor McGonagall frowned.
"She has detention with me. Can you help me look for her?"
I nodded.
I had nothing else to do.
"Thank you. Tell her to wait for me in my office if you find her."
"Okay."
I looked for Melissa everywhere, but I didn't find her.
When I was about to give up, I saw two Hufflepuff girls with a suspicious attitude.
They looked everywhere and ran at full speed down the hall.
I followed them without them realizing it.
We arrived at Gryffindor common room. Some guys let them in.
I heard music.
They were probably having a party.
I approached the guys.
"Excuse me—"
"Come in."
"Huh?"
The portrait opened.
"No. I—"
They pushed me inside.
I collided with someone.
"Be careful, idiot—! Faith?"
I looked up and saw Melissa Hale.
She was another of my roommates.
She had wavy blond hair that reached her hips, tanned skin and green eyes.
She smiled at me.
"It's weird to see you at a party! What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for you. You have detention with Professor McGonagall."
I was screaming. The music rumbled in the common room.
There were many people. Everyone danced, drank and chatted.
Melissa laughed.
"I know."
"She's not happy."
"I don't care. I wasn't going to miss this for anything in the world."
She put an arm around my shoulders.
"Let's go for a drink."
I shook my head.
"I'll go back to the common room."
"Why?"
I turned around and saw the marauders.
Sirius Black smirked at me.
"You took the trouble to come here. Have some fun."
Everyone was somewhat drunk.
"No. Thank you."
I was about to leave when Melissa pulled my hair and made me drink something.
It burned my throat. I felt dizzy...
End of Flashback.
Cassandra grimaced.
"Melissa's a bitch. What happened next?"
I looked away.
"I fell asleep and woke up in the common room the next day."
I didn't remember anything after that.
Cassandra put an arm around my shoulders.
"You didn't get in trouble. That's good."
"Uh-huh..."
If she knew...
At that moment, we heard screams from girls.
We looked back and saw Sirius Black.
He went to his table and smiled at the girls who looked at him.
They all blushed and laughed.
"My friend!"
James Potter patted the place beside him.
They were right in front of us.
Black smiled at him.
"Hello. What did I miss?"
"Not much. Where were you?" Remus Lupin asked.
I focused back on my food.
I felt someone watching me. I ignored it.
"In our room. I don't remember how I got there."
I sighed in relief.
Cassandra snorted.
"He slept with someone. I bet one night in the forbidden forest."
I shrugged.
"Who knows."
"You have something here."
She looked at my neck.
"It's a bug bite."
My heart skipped a beat.
It was probably a hickey.
I covered my neck with my hand.
"Really?"
Cassandra nodded.
"It doesn't look good. Do you want us to go to the infirmary?"
"I'll be fine. Don't worry."
I changed the subject and we continue talking.
When we finished eating, we headed to our common room.
I felt someone watching me again.
I shook my head. I was just paranoid.
Black didn't know what happened between us.
