It was raining through out my Hell Week.
I should have been angry that I was stuck with two idiots but for some reason rain had always calmed me down. I think that it's just that rain makes me feel nostalgic. Not that I miss the orphanage but I just… feel like some big will happen to me when it rains.
Hopefully it won't be a storm or a tornado or something of that sort.
"Now, now, Ms. Adromeda, you may be a damsel, but you have to do your share of the punishment."
I clenched my teeth and fists. Breathe in, breathe out.
"Ms Adromeda…"
"Oh, for the love of- shut up, Potter!"
Laughter echoed the charcoaled room.
That was how everything went for the whole week.
****
It was dark. The sound of waves was in the background. Trees started to appear, one by one as a man with auburn hair was walking. He stopped. Trees encircled him and revealed a young boy.
There were other children too, but they ran away with tears streaming down their faces. Their mouths were open but no sound came from them.
The little boy faced the man. He had brown curly hair and big brown eyes. The man spoke and the little boy replied, a smile blooming on his face.
"Would you like to come with me, Tom?"
****
I felt something wet fall from my closed eyes and realized that I was crying. For what, I don't know but I felt incredibly… hopeless. And sad, of course.
I wiped away the tears before Rose burst into the room exclaiming, "C'mon, Sin! You're going to be late for breakfast!"
Ah, school. How I wish I could play sick for eternity. Or at least until they will let me graduate.
In the dining hall…
I got the nastiest looks ever from both Slytherin and Gryffindor. What did I do this time?
"Apparently, both my stupid cousin, James, and Scorpius are extremely popular," Rose injected.
"Which makes my popularity go down even more?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
Albus was already sitting down with James and Victorie along with numerous others. We headed towards them. On our way, we passed the Slytherin table with a couple of girls there.
"What was her name? Sin?"
"Or course it is! With that ugly face, it's the perfect fit!" They snickered.
Rose threw the dirtiest look she could make at them but sadly, they weren't fazed. If anything, that encouraged them more. I shook my head as we sat down.
I looked up to where the teachers had been standing before. The place was empty now. My eyes flew to the podium. The face of the man with the red hair popped into my head along with regret and sorrow. It was so weird that I was feeling this way about someone who didn't even exist.
At least, not anymore.
I froze. It was the same sinister voice except… it sounded regretful. "Who are you?"
Someone touched my arm. I jolted. Four pairs of eyes stared at me intently and full of concern. Then one pair softened but quickly became ironic.
"Has my beauty stunned you silent?" quirked James. I stared at him and he raised his hand to my eyes and wiped a tear away.
ACK!
I smacked his hand away and berated him. He laughed and everyone else relaxed.
"You know what- I'm going to go and sit with Scorpius!" I shouted. Everyone in the hall stopped what they were doing. Before I chickened out, I picked up my things and walked to where a certain blonde was hanging his mouth open. Isn't that inviting?
Potions Class…
Before Rose could extract the information from me as to what happened with Scorpius, the teacher walked in.
Professor Dunfore, the librarian, was also the Potions teacher. He took anything that I did or said personally. Like when I asked him to explain what he meant with a formula he gave us. His reply was, "So now you're calling me an incompetent teacher? Ten points from Gryffindor!"
Sheesh, what did I do to him? I mean, it's not like he could fix the library himself with magic any way.
Oh and he only does it to me. Well, I'm pretty sure he does it to the other two blubber heads, but Gryffindors take this class with Ravenclaws. The extremely creepy girl who likes to stare at me, Ophira, she's here too. And guess what? Professor Dunfore absolutely adores her. I can't blame him since he is male, but at the same time, ew. Plus, why is it that I am the only one who sees her as creepy? Oh yeah- she stares at me with a predator gleam in her eyes.
Albus sighed again. Two distinctive bams! and a "Hey!" were heard. I grinned.
"Ms. Adromeda!" The grin fell.
"Why is it that you feel the need to take points from Gryffindor!" That's it! I've had it!
"Well then Professor," I did NOT try my best to keep the sarcasm from my voice. "Why don't you just give me a detention- no, as many detentions as you think will make me behave!"
I felt the hysteria and anger sizzling inside me. Professor Dunfore was getting nervous and scared which was oddly empowering. The sinister voice was laughing.
"IN FACT, WHY DON'T YOU-"
"Let me tutor her," chimed an all-too-sweet voice. Everyone turned back. Ophira smiled so cutely that I could feel the cotton candy form in my mouth. Ugh, why?! I loved cotton candy too!
"Before dinner, she can come here and I'll tutor her myself." She pouted. "Please, professor? You know she'll be in good hands."
Warning bells rang.
"Of course, Ms. Stenton."
"NO! I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT-"
"If you do not, Ms. Adromeda, you will fail my class."
"I DON'T GIVE A DA-" My throat constricted and I felt someone pull something out of it. It felt like pulling out a hair with its root. I couldn't make a noise.
"Sit down Ms. Adromeda." I was too shock to do anything else. Rose hmmpfed, crossed her arms, and sank in her seat. Albus looked dejected.
Walking to Torture…
"You've been really quiet today, Sin," Rose remarked.
Of course I have! My voice was stolen and I never got it back! My eyes shifted to Albus. He just glared at me. I had to really fight to not roll my eyes.
"Will you tell us what happened?" I faced Rose once again. She looked anxious. I nodded and they left with muffled see-you-laters. I opened the door to Potions and saw an angel with a devilish gleam in her eyes sitting there waiting for me. I sighed and stepped in.
