Chapter 13
2nd of September1991
The next day, Damian found himself didn't enjoy Herbology that much
It was an interesting class he couldn't lie, but he found himself a bit bored and tuned out unlike his friend Neville.
The class ended very quickly and then came the Potions.
The class felt much more awkward than he thought he could possibly imagine
It was only 1 hour on the schedule, and he was hoping it was his father to be teaching in order to ease the tension, but in fact it was Professor Potter
It's not like he is afraid from Professor Potter, he had never seen her acting this cold.
He had always seen her calm and reserved, it made him to really control his temper for future occurrence.
Damian still continued on letting the cauldron sizzle after dropping house points from his father
Neville, whom was his partner, got a bit out of his shell of confidence, and it surprised him a bit
The boy must have talked to his mother and it made Damian wonder until he found out that the professor was in fact his Godmother.
Damian turns to see Hermione's cauldron was perfectly pale orange and the bubbles sizzling.
He sees the professor rewarding 10 points to Gryffindor.
It made him a slight pang of jealousy, not toward Hermione, toward the professor
Because he was indeed excelling in Potions, his mother was even surprised from his raw talent.
Maybe the fight against the ferret was still fresh in his mind, and it made him to start focusing seriously on his education
The cauldron began to bubble and it made Damian widen his eyes because it is the perfect bubble he was waiting for, just like in Hermione's
The professor came close and inspected his cauldron and gave him a sad smile but spoke '5 points'
Damian sighed in relief, at least for a great start, anything but dropping points, it is barely a week and he is already making a ruckus
The class ended and it was time for flying class with Slytherins again and Ravenclaws.
He sees Heather waving at him, and he waved at her back
Heather ushered him to meet her friend and he didn't want to but mentally reminiscing the glare she makes, he has no choice
He came close and met her friend who is tall, has a mousy brown hair, and a large glasses.
"Damian, this is Mandy Bronklehurst, Mandy Bronklehurst, this is Damian Snape" Heather said
"Nice to meet you" Damian made a polite gesture
"To you as well" She made a giggle.
"Oh sorry, She giggles a lot" Heather smirks
"Heather!" Mandy looked scandalized
"Girls, we are in a middle of class, which appears to be my favorite so far" Damian tries to ease
"Oh yeah flying!" Heather said in a glee
"You can fly?" Damian asked in a puzzled way
"Damian, I had played football remember?" Heather answered
"What's that?" Mandy asks
"A muggle sport" both answered
"But it is much more different than football" Damian reasons
It is not like he does not trust his friend, he is a bit familiar on Quidditch, but she is a muggleborn, she does not know nothing about it
"I know, but it doesn't hurt to try, besides I don't have phobias of heights, maybe this might change my mind" Heather said
Damian wanted to protest but he knew better not to, so he kept his mouth shut and gave his best friend a last hug, before the professor comes.
The professor came, and she was short, wearing the referee whistle, and had a spiky hair
She blew a whistle, signaling the students to stop talking and listen, and so Damian complies
"Welcome to the flying class, my name is Professor Hooch and I will be your demonstrator here" The spiky haired professor said.
"Now gather in horizontal line. You will see brooms, already settled for you. Go on" The professor said
Damian walks towards the broom as instructed.
"Yes, now all of you, stretch your arms and say 'up'. I will show you" The professor said
Damian watches the professor uttering the word and the broom instantly levitated toward the professor's hands
"Now you have seen the demonstration, now let's see if you understood, go on" The professor said
Some students managed successfully to levitate the broom, Damian did it in one try. He was surprised to see Heather also did in one try
He sees Ron managing to levitate, but on the second try, and then chances a glance on Hermione, frowns to see her failing on levitating the broom
"Very good, now we h...…." The professor was saying but the high pitch sound of Neville had made the students look at him all of a sudden
Damian sees his chubby friend going higher and higher and was brought back to hear the cries of the professor
"Mr. Longbottom, I thought I told you not to mount the broom" the professor said
It was hard for the frantic boy to hear the professor as he was going way above the ground, and then with a blip, he begins to fall
Damian almost comes to save his friend but sees the professor quickly summons the broom to make the boy crashing the fall
It did helped but made him ache his hands a bit
The professor went to escort Neville to the infirmary and gave an instruction to her students to wait
It didn't last that long because the annoying sound of Malfoy, almost made Damian blood boil
"Look what the toad had forgot" Draco said
Damian turns to see the pointy faced heir of Malfoy, holding his friend's rememberall
"Give that back Malfoy!" Damian barked
He sees the git mounting the broom and flew a bit higher
"Or what?" Draco smirks
Damian couldn't handle enough patience, he grabbed his broom and lifted himself on the level of the Slytherin student
"Damian, stop it, it is enough you have a detention with Professor Potter, please don't do another trouble" Hermione pleas
Damian turns to glare at the bushy haired girl and was unfazed to see her flinching a bit
He turns to intensify his glare on the cocky boy
"You want it?" Draco taunts
Damian did not give in the boy's taunts
"Now catch it" the boy threw the rememberrall to the east
Damian instantly flew towards the destination, and managed to catch the rememberrall in split second, unnoticing a frantic professor, staring at him
He was very angry and really wants to punch the git's face. He almost done that, but heard the yell from the stern Professor McGonagall, and his anger instantly vanished, where he landed safely, not looking at the claps of his gracefully landing
"What is the meaning of this?" Professor McGonagall asks.
Damian looks at the ground in shame, two troubles in barely a week. Oh he will be scolded by his father, and his mother too.
'might as well getting expelled' Damian thought
"Mr. Snape, follow me' The stern professor commands
Damian shot up and follows the professor defeatedly.
He turns to see Heather look at him in worry, Hermione looking at him in disappointment, and the looks of awe from Ron. He did not notice the wide smirk from the cocky Slytherin boy.
He followed the professor, expecting in the headmaster's room, but it wasn't in fact the headmaster's room
He found himself on the Defense Against the Dark Arts room
He sees the professor, knocking the door, and excused the turban wearing professor on summoning a certain student
A fifth year student came and greeted the professor, in which it made Damian very confused
"Mr. Wood, I had found you a new seeker" Professor McGonagall said
Damian almost gasped but kept in composure, as the fifth year student remained neutral
"Isn't he a first year professor?" the skeptical looking student asks
"I will speak with the headmaster Mr. Wood, now acquaint yourselves as for you Mr. Snape, I congratulate your bravery on catching your friend's item" the professor said, smiling
"I am not in trouble?" Damian couldn't believe that, asking
"You would've if you had crashed through the window, but I couldn't believe such skill on a frame like you Mr. Snape" the professor answers
"Do you know the game Mr. Snape?" the short mousy brown, thick Scottish accent teen asks.
"My name is Damian, and yes I know the game Mr. Wood" Damian begins to smile
"Ah, you actually spare me the trouble to explain. Call me Oliver, I will be your captain, but I will need to see your skills by observation, let's say this Friday?" Oliver smiles
Damian took a second to grasp this, he is joining a team, this early!
"Yes Mr. Wood, I mean Oliver" Damian utters
"Great, he will be trained Professor McGonagall" Oliver said
"That's wonderful, I expected the house cup on my desk this year" the normally stern professor smiles.
Damian returns back to the grand hall, as it was lunch, confused, he looked at the schedule and it said that is Charms class, and it was supposed to be in this moment.
He grabbed a light ham sandwich and sat on the table, eating quietly.
Minutes later, his friends showed up and Hermione still refuses to look at him, Damian must have felt the withdrawal because of his anger
He made a silent pleading on Heather and Heather understood for a moment, ushering Hermione to follow her on a walk
He is ok by that, He is not ready to confront Hermione about it, even if he did wrong or right, he is not ready to talk about it
A week later
A week blew very quick and there lies his first detention with Professor Potter
She had instructed both him and Draco to attend the class at evening.
Damian gulped a bit, he almost forgot that he has a detention with the ferret, and the worst of all, he and the ferret will be having a detention with Professor Potter
On the bright side, last Friday. He had an observation test from his captain, and the captain was impressed from his untapped skills as a seeker.
And it was a bustling day nonetheless, all happen in one week.
The quidditch captain issues a training program that will begin in two weeks by now, since their first game will be against the Slytherins at November
It is also a mail day, he had received two letters from his mother and surprisingly Ginny.
He also saw only one letter that was addressed to Heather, she was beside him and she took the letter to skim on it
He unwrapped his mother's letter first and began to read
Dear Damian my boy
It has been a week my baby boy, I had been informed that you are the youngest seeker in century, and on playing with for Gryffindor! your father threw a fit on me yesterday of how 'dangerous' you would be endangering, but I know your father Damy, if you were being sorted into Slytherin, he would living in the moon, I was hoping for Hufflepuff like your old mother but I am incredibly proud of you Damy. I cannot wait till Christmas so we can see each other, and convince your stubborn father to read the letters which I had sent, I know because our family owl Bert does not come home, empty-handed. Write me a response when you are free ok?
Love
Your mother
Damian smiled, laughed and flushed that he is becoming a seeker, at young age.
He unwrapped an another letter from Ginny, curious to see what is she writing to him
Dear Damian
What? no letter at the first night? Am I some one you use to know now? Just kidding, I am incredibly happy that you are being sorted for Gryffindor, the same goes to my idiot brother Ron. I am very surprised to know thanks to my idiot brother, Ron, that Heather is a witch, and she is sorted as a Ravenclaw, that's amazing, we can be besties when I arrive Hogwarts next year. I am fine thanks for you not asking, mum felt peaceful for a bit, since the house is quiet, no more twins doing unthinkable things at a moment, I think Gred and Forge is driving mum insane Damian. Write to me Damian, The house is empty without you, without all of you
Love
Ginny
PS: if you don't write to me, I can find a way to let you do that
Damian laughs politely and reread the letter again
He whispers 'mental' and unfolded the letter under his pocket.
He will write both letters to his mother and Ginny in the midnight, right now, he has a detention to serve, lest not let the professor getting very angry about him
Snape Dungeon
The soft sound of knocking brought Severus out of trance on marking fifth year essays
He grunts a bit and yells loudly that he is busy
It was the headmaster with his midnight blue robes
"Professor Dumbledore" Severus wises up
"Severus, care to go for a short walk on the lake?" The headmaster asks
"I am sure the chamber in the dungeon is safe Professor" Severus reasons
"Please, call me Albus, after all this time, you still go for the formalities, and second of all, you are already an Order member, and third of all, our 'friend' might be eavesdropping on us" Albus said
Severus rose his eyebrows on the emphasis which the headmaster is implying, and so he rose up but did not move from his desk
"How am I so sure that he will not follow us?" Severus asks a bit harshly
"I might have let an old friend to talk to him" Albus smiles
"Who?" Severus snaps a bit
"Not important, follow me, I am bearing a mix of news" Albus said
Severus sighs, he grabs his cloak and wears it for an already ruined evening with the headmaster
While he was leaving, he was approached yet again with Lily, and she still refuse to look at him
She was talking to the headmaster on setting the time for the detention because it is her first time to do such a thing
The headmaster vouched Lily to talk to him, meaning Severus
Severus mentally prepares on any remarks, but what comes next felt like a bucket of cold ice, splashing on his greasy head
"I already know what I am going to do Headmaster, I bid you two men a blissful evening, goodbye" Lily said, leaving the complete shock in Severus' dark eyes
To this day, after a week, there is still no 'small talks' between him and Lily, he is really over in loving her, because he found himself dangerously in love with Olivia
He just wanted to mend the friendship on Lily
He cannot act selfish that he is taking care of her son, because he is also growing fond on the boy
He really hates what he had done in order to make her loathing him that much
He really hates Mulciber, it was the fool who had tortured her with his own curse that was supposed to be meant only for Potter, despite he and him are very close like the fool Potter and Black
That's not what he want to discuss, and with the complete silence between him and the headmaster, on a chilly Saturday evening on the lake, it speaks volumes
"Let it go Severus, she will come around, she will never trust you when the truth comes out, but she will come to appreciate that you are taking care of her son" Albus said
"That's not what I am thinking about Pro...Albus" Severus lies
He knows the headmaster is a master llegemins, and so he is, he is also a master on occlumency
He felt a light probe on his head, two can play this game, Severus thought
"I am not interfering your mind if you are worried, I just wanted to tell you the news about regarding Tom and Pettigrew" Albus said
"What about the Rat and the Dark Lord" Severus asks.
"My sources tells me that Tom's spirit is not in Albania at a moment" Dumbledore replies
"Interesting" Severus ponders
"But how come spirits latch? they need a host right?" Severus thought the obvious
"And that's where our 'friend' comes in. I had a feeling that Professor Quirrel visited Albania coincidentally on a time Damian got accepted in Hogwarts" Dumbledore said
"Albus, this does not make sense, I know most of the people I know of are in Azkaban, the git Lucius would've informed me anything regards about the Dark Lord" Severus responds
"Ah still a loyal follower eh Severus, well I can give you much more proof, I had instructed Hagrid to transport the Philosopher's stone here in Hogwarts" Albus said
"YOU DID WHAT?" Severus yells
"Severus" the headmaster did the look and Severus found himself flushing in embarrassment
"Apologies headmaster, but this is a suicide mission headmaster, if the Dark Lord got his hands on the stone, he will return back, but he is weak, unless. Merlin" Severus puts the pieces in one box
"Now you get it, and I also dispatched our dear friend Regulus on a dangerous mission on finding the first horcrux that Tom made, I had always thought it was the ring, but it wasn't because I had kept it in my desk" Albus said
"If what you are saying is true, then he might have sensed Lily coming by" Severus grew alarm
"Don't worry Severus, I had dispatched Pomona Sprout to distract Quirrell, if he is indeed being possessed, I knew there was some connections between them when he was a Muggle Studies Professor." Albus said
Severus took a time to grasp it, he had once met the turban clad professor on the opening feast, and was instantly bored from the never stopping stutter from the man
It could make sense in some sense, because the man is easily to be fooled, Severus ponders
"I know you may think he can be easily fooled, but looks can be deceiving" Albus pries
"Albus, with all my respect, don't pry on my thoughts without my permission" Severus eyes the headmaster
"And you are right Albus, looks can be deceiving, but it doesn't hurt for us to be extra careful, but the question is, where is the stone now?" Severus asks.
"At my office, but I will not talk about it until I select quite of few professors on guarding the stone" Albus responds
"Who are they Albus?" Somehow Severus dreads to know the answer
"Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwich, Professor Hooch, you, Personally I am, Hagrid, and lastly Professor Potter.
Potter Chamber
"You sure you are not overexaggerating Lily Flower?" James asks where she is holding the mirror he gave it to her.
Lily sighs a long exhale, and brushed her long auburn braids
"Yes Jamie, I am sensing something familiar of this boy" Lily said
The sensations came closer and much more vibrant than before
At first Lily couldn't spare in mind, mostly because she had two excuses, being very excited on coming to Hogwarts, and the latter is nothing special
This time, there was something much more intense, she told James about it the day she made a detention for the two boys, she also explained to her husband about some strange memory block between her and Damian, in which her husband assured her that he will take a look but found no results.
She felt frustrated a bit, and there were no news about Marlene, she is still in coma, and Sirius is getting worse every day
Today, several hours before the detention, she caught Sirius gulping firewhiskey, and she told James to hand him over and she berated him about what would Marlene do.
It was tough, the poor bloke lost everyone, his wife, his brother, and his daughter.
It had been 10 years since little Cassie went missing
10 years since Mar went into coma
and 12 years since his brother Regulus died
It felt like Black Curse as he always saying
Lily felt really bad and wished to send him full support, she even offered him to visit her if he wants to and it sort of works
"Look Jamie, I know it is over, but there has to be something, Merlin... I have 10 minutes before the kids show up, take care of Andrew and Elizabeth, love you bye" Lily said
She pockets her mirror, and wore the elegant emerald robes, luckily the room is slightly closer than her chamber so she uttered 'Alohomora' and begins to wait for two students to show up
She sat on the desk, and she heard a soft knock, she said 'come in' and there he is, the son of Severus Snape.
He was not looking at her, which was strange, he was always looking straight to her as in confidence.
It hurts her to act this way but rules are rules, he is not like James, and he is far different than James
He sat at the far end of the desk, she noticed it, and made a small cough, signaling that he must come closer for the detention to begin
Several minutes later, the son of the noble house Malfoy, shows up, but way overdressed on an expensive robe, and scarf
He somehow made an eye contact as in curtesy of respect on showing up and then resumes on looking elsewhere
This is going to be a long night, Lily ponders
They sat two desks away from each other and they were facing front of her, waiting for any words she has to say
She wishes it would be easy, but there is no such thing as a simple way.
She attempts to clear her throat and begins to explain
"I know both of you are wondering why I am summoning you in this room, attending your first detention of this week, I had personally spoken with Professor Snape, and he and I had agreed on several terms" Lily began
"You can begin completing whatever essays regards of your classes, including mine, but the catch is you are not allowed for help, not even me" Lily ends
She sees the violet eyed boy look at her in a strange way and raised his hands
"Yes Mr. Snape?" Lily asks
"Sorry professor, I was used in detentions where I have to write 'I must not harm Dudley' 100 times" Damian replies
'Dudley?' Lily mouths
"You know him?" Damian must have sensed a distraction from Lily. She was wondering how does this boy know her nephew
"To answer your question Professor, Dudley Dursley was a mean classmate of mine, I was his favorite punching bag" Damian said
"Then why didn't you hex the idiot?" The voice of Draco appears
"Draco quiet, you will have your time to speak" Lily snaps and the blond boy closes his mouth very quick
She made a small nod for Damian to continue
"Thank you Professor, The reason I attacked heir Malfoy here, is because he was reminding me of Dudley, not the insult of the teacher part, the idea of thinking that he owns the world" Damian responds
Lily found her eyes widen of how wise the 11 year old boy is, the primary school plus Olivia's teachings, must have made him older than being 11
"I couldn't stand it Professor, I will never apologize for a bully unless he apologizes first, that's what Dudley had done professor, I was a skinny little boy back then, with no protection, nor dignity, I couldn't even stand up for bullies like him" Damian points Draco
Lily turns to see the pointy faced boy flush in deep red as if out of embarrassment
"But thankfully I got help with Heather, the muggleborn witch and Gareth, my muggle friend" Damian continues
"I will say this professor, I am sorry for attacking a student, I should've approached it in a calmer way, I had discovered that I have a temper, and it almost ruined my friendship with Hermione" Damian's eyes began to blink tear
Lily couldn't believe it, she sees the confident man beginning to cry
"I am sorry because I was alone Professor, I had spent being alone for kindergarten years. Heather and Gareth came to my life on my first Primary school year, and since then we are inseparable" Damian continues
"When I caught the Rememberall thanks to Malfoy here, I was so angry that I snapped at Hermione. My point is professor, I deserved to be punished" Damian ends by looking at the desk in shame.
Lily felt soft tears, slowly fell on her nose, and she blinked away very quickly.
She stood up and went very close to the softly sobbing boy
She took a good look and his hair is just like Olivia, only darker.
She crouched on the boy's level and attempts to hold the boy's hand for some comfort and then as if a spell broken, a wave of emotions between them, happened again
Only this time smoother and more precise
The image of a baby boy, a baby boy with unruly raven hair, just like James, and has emerald eyes, just like hers.
That image felt like a movie projectile and it had opened her eyes in a wide shock, as if she had missed something that was once meant the world to her.
The scene of Godric's Hollow, and there was this little baby, not more than 15 month old
That baby was smiling happily and in that scene, his name was something along a line like Hairy.
The emotion wave died down, and both of them looked at each other with such confusion but for Lily, it is almost clear, she went for a hug in order to not let it very obvious because she has some talk to Severus and the headmaster.
"T...thank you Professor Potter" Damian mumbles under her hug
"You're welcome Har...Damian." Lily almost slips
The name became even clearer, she had to slip away a bit, not dare to even look at him for a moment
"You can finish your detention in silence, now begin" Lily said.
The class ended and Lily felt the headache swirling, she had to get away from Hogwarts, so she took a pinch of floo powder and whispers 'Potter Manor' on her chamber room
Potter Manor
She arrived late in the night, she checked the clock, it was nearly 2 AM. She had to do it, she had to talk to James right now
Since they woke up from the coma, they had remembered something blank in Halloween 1981, a dot that was there but it was unexplained
She felt nothing to bother at the first place, but as time progresses and the memory block shield lowers, she gets more and more angry on why rather than why this 'dot' was taken away from her
Now, with the full confirmation and one look on the boy, it was him, it was little Harry, the 15 month Raven-haired, emerald eyed baby boy, who was giggling often, and use to love play with a month old Cassie.
She use to smile seeing her son, guarding Cassie protectively.
Now she got her son back, all she need is to find her best friend's daughter back
Lily carefully climb on the stairs and whispers alohomora on their bedroom and sighs happily to see James, sleep tousled in bed, half-naked.
She smiled devilishly and went to caress his soft skin, and gave a soft kiss on his stomach in which she smiles to hear him groaning
She went from his stomach up till his neck and then felt her husband, waking up
"L...Lily?" James stutters from both delirium from her touches and a genuine curiosity
"Hey there handsome" Lily responds innocently
The next thing she knows, a strong hands. Dragged her into their bed for their snogging session.
She felt calloused arms, unbuttoning her robes and she lets out a soft moan from his other arm, cupping her breasts
She had to bite her tongue because his mouth was sucking her nipples, and she felt in her thighs, heated from his touch
"Not that I am enjoying it at a moment, but what brings you here Lily Flower?" James asks, smirking
"J...James. There is something we need to talk" Lily stutters a bit but her serious tone overpowers it
"What is it?" James straightens his posture and lets her sit in bed comfortably.
"I...I think I had found him James" Lily begins to go for a point
"You found who?" James asks quizzically
"You know what I am talking about James" Lily did the emphasis on the word 'about'
He did the 'oh' sound and then as she is expecting, his eyes widened in shock and disbelief
"You mean. You mean you found our son? but how? how can we don't remember him? who wiped our memories? and who raised our son?" James did the rational questions to justice.
"All will be answered James, but for now we keep it secret for the boy. I am sure he is beginning to ask many questions, which answers your fifth question, It was Severus who raised our son, our boy" Lily answers
"Never thought of saying this, I am a bit glad that it was Snivelis, because if our boy was gone from Wormtail as he was blabbing before disappearing, I would've killed Wormtail" James said.
"We will get our son back James, I promise you this, but first, how we will tell his brother and sister?" Lily asked an another good question
"Oh, well he has a good chemistry with Andrew already, but it would backfire, since Andrew would ask a lot of questions regarding why Harry did not live with us and such" James answers
"I think Harry would calm things down" Lily thought about it
"What makes you think like that?" James asks quizzically
"You should've seen him talking James, he sounded far older than his age" Lily replies
It took them a minute in order to think a plan
Lily felt a bit happy that she will get her son back, but on the other hand, Severus would lose the boy and becomes more miserable than he actually is
"You are thinking about 'him' right?" James smiles
"What?" Lily snaps back into reality
"That's what I love about you Lils, you have a big heart despite you are clearly broken for what Severus had done to you" James responds
Lily finds herself smiling even more, the prat James even called Severus by his first name!
"What?" James asks confusedly
Nope, still clueless as always, Lily thought
"Nothing Jamie, I just love how you are a bit mature when it comes to these situations, you even called him by his actual name" Lily said
"Well, I was a buffoon, an idiot. I use to pick on Snivelis for sport and fun, but I had an ego. I couldn't handle it Lils, His breathing was very shallow 12 years ago. Despite my grudge and animosity toward Severus. He does not deserve to die, not on my watch" James replies seriously
Lily stood up and dragged James into a blissful kiss
They stood there far longer than expected, but it was a desiring moment between them, and Lily enjoys every single second of it
"You are cute and sexy for being serious, but you are right Jamie. Look we pretend nothing is happening, because for now, let's have Harry live his moments with Severus, and then we break up the news to him, but I sense loyalty from Harry to Severus, which is why I am thinking he will repay Severus for what he had done to raise Harry, our son, a good boy" Lily said
"That's true, and I think the debt is paid, I saved his life, he raised my son to be a good boy" James remarks
"True, but I will need to confront him and Professor Dumbledore, I want to know why and how that works, care to come with me?" Lily said
She omits Marlene part, because during their snogging session, an idea came to Lily and she will have to ask permission from Professor McGonagall in order to do some heavy reading in the library
"You know I will always come and be right at your side" James grins
They shared an another blissful kiss, it was enough for them, now they are conjuring a plan, their only hope is to execute it and not cause big trouble.
Gryffindor Common Room
Damian came back to the common room with a swirling headache
The flashbacks came again and it was much stronger
Instead of having his normal hair and violet eyes, he saw an image of an unruly raven hair and a dashing emerald eyes like the professor
Damian decides he has enough for that, he needs to confront his father, and demand answers on why and if it is true, that his life was nothing but lie
He will do it later, now he has to finish some essays and he found himself very tired
Luckily it is still the weekend, so he has enough time to finish it, but for now, he needs a rest, a long, fruitful rest
He collapses on the chair close to the fire, and stare at it for a moment until he heard a laughter from Heather
Eyes widen on how and why, but was beaten from Heather
"It is still evening twerp, I will leave before midnight" Heather giggles
"How did you know the password?" Damian asks
"Your friend Hermione gave it to me, she was worried about you sick" Heather said
"Oh" Damian frowns, suddenly the floor looks good
"Talk to her Damian, she was worried sick about you and cried a bit" Heather said
"No Heath, I cannot now, it is enough I had to spend the whole detention with Malferret and Professor Potter" Damian said
"What about Malferret? and how did you come here" Ron said, coming from the portrait hole
"Let me guess, your friend Miss Granger gave me the password, and she was wondering what happened to Damian said
"Guys I am fine, when I am ready I will talk to Hermione, but for now let's drop it ok" Damian snaps
His voice was a bit loud and it resonated with the students, staring at him
"Great now the students here will think I have lost my mind" Damian said under his breath
"Look, I have done enough, if you want to fix the problem, she will come in 30 minutes, now it is your chance to talk and apologize, but if you don't. Lord forgive me for what I am going to do with you" Heather did the 'look'
"Yes ma'am, I will talk to her, but not now ok, please, let me get through this day and then I will talk to her. I promise" Damian said with his pinky swear
"Good, now I must come back to my common room, see you tomorrow boys" Heather waves
"That girl is mental" Ron whispers
"I heard that" Heather's yell was visible for the boys to look at each other and laugh
"I will talk to her ok Ron, but not now, I don't need a push from any of you, when the rime is right, which is tomorrow, I will talk to her" Damian raised his hands with defeat
"I didn't say anything, I am just want to discuss with you on Chudley Cannon's first win in years" Ron attempts to change the subject
"Oh, what happened?" Damian pretends to care a bit, his favorite Quidditch team is Pride of Portree, but he couldn't demean his best mate's favorite team.
Ron sat next to Damian and began to start the conversation
It was late at night and Damian found himself yawning, so he went to his bed and did a light reading chapter of his favorite book, his thoughts about what his best friend Heather said, was true.
He cannot keep this much longer, luckily tomorrow. He will talk to Hermione and apologize for his behavior and wants his friend back
He finished reading one chapter and he turned off the lamplights
