Chapter 30: CHAPTER 30: THE DYING GIRL

*

WILL YOU ASK HIS HELP OR NOT?

*

It’s the middle of November, and Richard was walking to a class, books in hand, he walked alone as always, since Ed went to France, his only company was Daphne, and sometimes Cho Chang who studied with him in the library and the classroom.

Richard sighed, ‘I really need a male friend…’ thought Richard. He continued to walk through the corridors, but suddenly, frantic students that were running through the corridors startled Richard, the Ravenclaw saw that it was Slytherins, first years from the looks of it, but he also saw a familiar girl, Daphne Greengrass.

She looked panicked and wanted to cry, but she was holding another girl’s hand while that girl was carried by a student. The first-year student that carried the girl looks like he can’t hold it any longer, he looks like he wanted to drop the girl, so Richard rushed to the scene.

“Daph, what’s going on?!” questioned Richard to Daphne.

She looked at Richard and sighed in relief, “Thank merlin you’re here Richard! Help me carry my sister will you? Her friend can’t carry her anymore.”

Richard was shocked by the revelation that Daphne has a sister, he nodded blankly and carried the girl.

“You have a sister?” asked Richard while rushing to the hospital wing.

“Yes I have! I’ll tell you once we get to the hospital wing.” She said hurriedly.

All of them then rushed to the hospital wing, slamming the door open forcefully.

“Madam Pomfrey!” shrieked Daphne, looking panicked, “It’s Astoria! She suddenly passed out again, it’s the second time this month!”

Madam Pomfrey looked at the seriousness of the situation, she told Richard to place Astoria on one of the beds. Richard complied and put the girl on the bed, he looked at Daphne who was in a panic attack and tried to calm her.

“Breath, Daph, Breath…” advised Richard.

“What do you mean breath?! My sister just suddenly lost consciousness and you expect me to be calm?!” she questioned Richard harshly.

“Yes, if you panic more, everyone around you will just worry about you, including your sister over here, so please, try to calm down.” Continued Richard, comforting the panicking girl.

The girl tried to calm down, she breathed in, and breathed out, and it worked, she calmed down and sat in one of the chairs.

“Make way please,” said Madam Pomfrey, “I need to check on her, the ones who’s not needed can go back to class.”

Richard and the others nodded, the Slytherins students left, and Richard was about to leave too, but Daphne grabbed his hand and simply commanded. “No, you stay.”

Richard relented and sat beside Daphne, he looked at Madam Pomfrey who’s checking on the girl’s condition.

“She’s fine,” Madam Pomfrey said, “It’s just one of her episodes, I will ask Professor Snape to make some potions for her, but after this, tell her not to exert herself too much.”

Daphne nodded weakly and exited the room, Richard looked at Daphne with curiosity,

“Mind explaining now?” questioned Richard, “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell, it’s your family’s business.”

Daphne shook her head, “No, it’s just, she has blood malediction.” Said the girl timidly.

“Blood malediction?” Richard questioned, unfamiliar with the term. “What is that?”

“A blood curse basically,” explained the girl, “It weakens the cursed, and it will eventually kill the cursed. Our family was cursed with the blood malediction because of our usage of nature magic, it has a price you know, controlling nature, the curse is the price. It doesn’t resurface to every single member; it chose the curse randomly.”

Richard looked at Daphne with pity and condolences, “Does it have a cure?” he asked.

“We searched,” said Daphne helplessly, “But we still didn’t find it.”

Richard sighed and just looked at the little girl laying on the bed. “Why don’t you ask Ed? He sounds like he has a powerful family.”

“No,” said the girl decisively, “If I did that, it would look like I befriended him just for this purpose, and you know how he is, always overthinking everything.”

Richard chuckled, “Do you look at Ed that low?” questioned Richard, “He won’t be like that, even if your motivation to befriend him is really that, he wouldn’t really mind, you’re desperate to save your family, and that’s already enough for him to help you, family is a sensitive thing to him as you may know.”

The girl pondered, “I’ll think about it.”Then three people came into the Hospital wing, it was Madam Pomfrey, Professor Snape, and… Professor Dumbledore?

Richard and Daphne were wondering why Dumbledore was there. The old man noticed the look that the two were giving him and smiled,

“Don’t mind me Mr. Neil, Miss Greengrass, I just happen to be in Professor Snape’s office, and your sister Miss Greengrass is still my student after all.” Said the old man softly.

The two nodded, then Madam Pomfrey came forward to give the little girl a blood red potion, she made the girl drink it, and put the bottle on the desk beside her.

“This can’t keep happening, Dumbledore.” Said Snape softly, “We need to transfer the girl to St. Mungo’s, she’ll die quicker at this rate.”

“No!” shouted Daphne, “She doesn’t want to be bedridden in a hospital, she wants to study magic! It’s what she’s looking forward to since she knows she’s sick!”

“Miss Greengrass,” said Snape sharply, “Don’t shout at a professor like that, and do you really want to quicken your sister’s death?”

“At least she died with a somewhat happy life, Professor, not sleeping in a hospital room.” Richard defended.

“Watch your mouth Neil, this isn’t your business.” Snape warned.

“Calm down Severus,” said Dumbledore softly, the old man pondered for a while before thinking about something. “Miss Greengrass, I might know someone that knows how to solve your sister’s problem, do you want me to call him? As far as I know, you’re quite familiar with him too.”

The two friends instantly knew what he’s talking about, while the other two adults looked at Dumbledore with confusion, but they didn’t say anything.

“Yes, please call him.” Said Daphne with a desperate tone. Dumbledore nodded to her, he took out his wand and conjure a Patronus that is shaped like phoenix, he whispered something to the Patronus, and it took off, leaving the room.

“Now we wait.” Said the old man.

Meanwhile, Ed was sitting in the Beauxbatons library with Fleur, ever since the ‘talk’, the girl became less flirty with him, she just talked to him about spells and magic, seeing no harm in helping her, Ed went for it of course, over the past days, Ed trained his elemental magic to the max, he experimented on his cursed ice, he control the shape of his lightning and fire, and he tried to blink an object that is not him, the last one didn’t work though, he still have a lot to practice and discover in the space magic area.

He also tried his Animagus owl form. He flew around the school at night, feeling the rush of air hitting his face. He was kind of addicted to flying. He asked Gilligan the ability of the gigantic owl. He said the abilities, which are not much, can change size at will, he can be bigger and smaller than the current form, and of course, night vision. He tried them all, and it worked, he can increase his size up to 15 ft, as big as a giant, and can decrease his size as small as a mouse, the night vision worked as well, he can see in the dark and saw things move from almost a mile away, in the owl form of course, and the last surprise in the owl form, is that he can also talk in the form, which is quite handy.

“So, what are you reading?” said Fleur suddenly. She looked at Ed with curiosity in her eyes, as Ed was looking at the book intently.

“Hm? Oh, this.” Said Ed while showing the book, “The morphology and anatomy of owls.”

Fleur looked at Ed strangely, “Why are you studying that? It looks useless to study in terms of magic doesn’t it?”

Ed just chuckled, he can’t tell her that he’s studying owls because he wants to know how much he can do in his owl form, but to be honest, Ed thought she’s quite right, after all, his owl form can still talk, and normal owls don’t talk at all.

Ed closed the book and eyed the girl, “Let’s go to the dining chamber, I’m starving.” Said Ed and Fleur just nodded, “You’re going to get fat you know if you eat a lot like this, and your handsome face won’t be so handsome anymore.”

Ed sighed, “Well, there’s this thing called exercise Fleur, and why do you care about my appearance anyway?”

“Well, you’re like my younger brother to me, there’s Gabrielle at home as a little sister, and I’ve always wanted a brother, so I need to take care of your image, I don’t want you to end up single for a long time.” Said the girl while ruffing Ed’s hair.

“Wow, we’ve been friends for like what? less than a month? and you already treated me as your own brother, a bit trusting don’t you think?”

The girl just shrugged and continued to walk to the dining chamber. They went inside, and Ed instantly got glares from the students, they looked at him with jealousy and contempt.

“Well, I’m still not used to this.” Ed whispered to Fleur.

Fleur chuckled, “Well, since the duel, the students have been fired up, so just be careful, I fear some of them will play dirty.”

“And whose fault is it?” Ed teased while sitting on one of the seats. The two then eat in peace, or as peaceful as it can be under the glares and scowl of the students. But suddenly, a burst of white and blue light slammed in front of Ed, startling him.

“What’s this?” questioned Ed to himself, Fleur also looked at the ball of light in front of Ed curiously.

The ball then turned to the image of a phoenix, and Ed instantly knew who it was from, “Dumbledore?” Ed asked for the ball, then the phoenix spoke.

“Ed, can you go to the Hospital wing at Hogwarts as soon as possible please? There’s an urgent matter that needs to be discussed.” Said the phoenix, then the light fades away.

‘Damn, I forgot we can use a Patronus like this, I need to ask Dumbledore for that.’ Ed thought.

“What did it do?” questioned Fleur.

Ed looked at the girl confusedly, “What do you mean? It just spoke.”

“Spoke?” the girl looked confused, “I didn’t hear anything.”

“Really?” Ed questioned in surprise, “Interesting… it can only be heard by the recipient. I really need to learn this.”

Fleur still looked confused at the scene, and so did the other students that saw it.

“Well, Fleur, I need to go, Dumbledore called me, I need to go back to Hogwarts.” Said Ed while standing up. Fleur was surprised at this, but Ed continued, “I’ll be back before dinner though, probably.”

“Something wrong at Hogwarts?” Fleur questioned.

“Dunno, seems important, I’ll stay at Hogwarts a little bit, catching up with my friends.”

“Make sure to show me off~” said Fleur playfully, “Who knows, maybe one of your older friends will be interested in me.”

Ed laughed at this, “Everyone will be interested Fleur” then He walked to the chamber door and opened it. He walked to the left corridor, he turned, and disappeared, leaving only a trail of shredded paper.

He then appeared in front of the hospital wing door, he looked around, he missed the atmosphere of the Hogwarts castle, the cold air, the smell, the lighting, the nice people that didn't hate him, he truly missed the place. He took a deep breath and opened the door, startling the one inside.

“Well, that was fast, what is that? Fifteen minutes?” commented a boy, Ed looked at him, and saw that it was Richard.

Snape looked at Ed strangely, and narrowed his eyes, “Aldrich? That’s who you called Dumbledore?”

Dumbledore nodded, “His family is quite knowledgeable to say the least, maybe his father’s inheritance will help the girl.” The old man said, twisting a bit of the truth.

Snape just snorted, and Ed turned to his two friends, “It has been a long time, Daphne, Richard.” He said while smiling.

But he didn’t get the response he wanted, they just looked at him strangely. Ed noticed it and instantly felt self-conscious, he checked his body if there’s anything wrong with it.

“Is there anything wrong?” Ed asked the two.

“’What’s wrong?’ No, I should be the one asking you.” Said Richard, “What is wrong with your accent?”

“Accent?” questioned Ed, but he suddenly remembered that he tried to imitate the French accent for the past months, and without him realising it, he already used it all the time, and it didn’t help it either that since he entered Beauxbatons, he’s been speaking French non-stop, he only spoke English to Fleur which she requested. And over time, the accent stuck because of his fast learning.

“Oh, pardon me,” said Ed, changing back to his usual British accent, “Habits from Beauxbatons.”

Dumbledore chuckled in the background, and Snape snorted once again, Ed then eyed Dumbledore and asked what’s going on.

“Dumbledore, you called?” asked Ed, “Something wrong?”

The old man nodded, “Yes, I believe, Miss Greengrass here needs your help about something.”

Ed narrowed his eyes and looked at Daphne, “Daph, what’s wrong?” he asked.

Daphne gulped because of Ed’s staring, his silver eyes is quite creepy sometimes, “It’s like this…”, she then told the story of the blood malediction, how her sister got it, and how the family has been searching for the cure but haven’t found it so far.

“You have a sister?” Ed was surprised at the revelation.

Daphne sighed in annoyance, “Yes I have, now, can you help us or not?” she said.

“All right, all right, calm down.” Relented Ed, he walked to the girl on the bed and scanned her.

“She’s weakened all right…” he whispered to himself, after a careful thought, he concluded and looked at the others,

“I can’t do it yet.” said Ed, earning a disappointed sigh from Daphne.

“Yet?” Snape sneered, “Are you confident that you can solve this unsolvable mystery for the rest of this girl’s life?”

“Yes,” said Ed decisively, “Right now, I can’t, but after I thought about it, I might solve it if I have Master Flamel’s note…” said Ed while eyeing Dumbledore.

The old man’s eyes twinkled and spoke instantly, “Poppy, Severus, I believe that you two should leave the room for the moment, this matters concerns family matters.”

Poppy nodded, while Snape eyed Dumbledore suspiciously, which Dumbledore noticed,

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, Severus, it’s about the matters of the Aldrich family, and you know how they are…” comforted Dumbledore.

Snape sighed and nodded; he also exited the room. Dumbledore instantly used a Muffliato spell so no one could eavesdrop. 

“Are you positive Ed that you can develop a cure for the blood malediction if you have Nicolas’s notes?” asked Dumbledore seriously.

Ed shook his head, “No sir, but there’s at least a chance.” Said Ed while looking at the dying girl.

Dumbledore nodded and looked at Daphne, “Miss Greengrass, do you understand the situation right now? If your friend really succeeded, your family must tell no one, not to mention…” Dumbledore looked at Ed intently.

“Your family will owe a lot to the Aldrich family , Daph.” Said Ed, “The Aldrich never did anything for free.”

“Anything!” said Daphne desperately, “Our family will do anything!”

“Anything?” Ed looked at Daphne with a dangerous smile, which made her shiver.

She nodded weakly, instantly regretting saying anything.

“Well,” said Ed, “A favour for a favour then, if I ever need your family’s assistance, I’ll owl you or your parents, and you can’t refuse.”

Daphne gulped, “Can I owl my parents first?” asked the girl.

“Sure,” said Ed, “It’s not really a guarantee anyway that I can solve it, but if I did, you have to do all that to get the cure.”

Daphne nodded, “Okay, I’ll owl my parents right now.” Said the girl and ran off to the owl post.

The room went silent for a minute, Ed then looked at Richard and Dumbledore, “So, what’s going on at Hogwarts?”

Richard shook his head helplessly at the question, “A lot happened.”

Ed raised his eyebrow and asked again, “Such as?”

“Mrs. Norris were petrified by an unknown individual, and that individual threatened the whole school by writing its warning on the wall with blood.” Explained Richard.

Ed shook his head and sighed, “I warned you Dumbledore. Why didn’t you listen?”

“I did Ed,” said the old man, “But I simply don’t know what creature we’re dealing with.”

“It’s a Basilisk.” Answered Ed casually. “And our ‘friend’ Lucius also slipped in a vile item that controlled a student’s mind, so it will do the item’s bidding.”

Dumbledore frowned at the statement, “What is the item?” he asked, Richard also paying attention.

“Horcrux.” Said Ed, earning a look of surprise from Dumbledore, and confusion from Richard, “You should know who it belongs to, right, Professor, can I visit my other friends in school, it’s been a long time since I met them.”

Dumbledore frowned as he realised that Ed don’t want to talk about it anymore, and nodded, “Okay Ed, but don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking about, I will not allow you to see through Mr. Malfoy’s mind, if you did it, I will know it.”

Ed sighed as his plans in the school revealed, “Fine Professor, but I will find another way to get the location.” Said Ed while walking away from the old man, “Richard, are you coming or not? Madam Pomfrey will take care of the girl.”

Richard nodded and followed Ed outside of the hospital wing, Ed saw Madam Pomfrey outside the door and told her to go inside and tend to the girl, Ed then walked to the great hall, where everyone is probably eating lunch right now.

“What’s a Horcrux Ed?” Richard asked with curiosity.

“Not now Richard, it’s a dangerous item, I’ll tell you sometimes.” Said Ed while patting Richard’s shoulder. Richard just nodded and continued walking.

Now they were in front of the Great Hall, Ed then asked Richard, “You want to sit with me at the Gryffindor table? Or are you going to your house’s table?”

Richard shook his head, “I’ll go to my house, you got some catching up to do with your Gryffindor friends, especially that Hermione, she got into a small fight with Daphne earlier this semester.” Richard teased.

Ed just chuckled, “All right, see you later brother.” Ed said while walking to the Gryffindor table. He saw Harry and Ron talking to each other while eating, he saw Fred, George, and Lee Jordan talking about something mischievous, as they were grinning madly to each other, but he didn’t see Hermione, which is quite odd.

He walked to the boy-who-lived and greeted him. “Hello Harry, how’ve you been doing?” Ed said while sitting beside him and patting his back.

The students at the table were surprised at Ed being there, they looked at him with curiosity and confusion in their eyes.

“Ed?” said Harry, as he was also confused, “When did you get back?”

“Just now.” Ed casually said while taking bread from the table and eating it. “Any trouble lately? Lockhart tried to obliviate you yet?”

Harry shook his head, “No, but there’s that chamber of secrets thing, is this ‘the inheritance of the founder’ you’re talking about in the prophecy?”

Ed hummed and continued to talk to the boy-who-lived, “Yes, I mean, kind of…, it’s half of it, the other is the creature that’s been running around.”

“You knew the creature?” asked Ron suddenly, “Why didn’t you tell us in the first place?”

Ed shrugged, “I thought I already said it to Harry,” explained Ed, “All of you need to build confidence and experience, it’s not that I’m manipulating you Harry, it’s for your own good, I’ll start helping you next year.”

“There’s going to be trouble again next year?” asked Harry while grimacing.

“Well, you need to wait for next year to know it.” Said Ed while patting the boy’s back again. “Where’s Hermione by the way? Haven’t seen her yet.”

The other two looked at each other nervously, and Ed instantly knew what she’s doing.

“She’s brewing the Polyjuice potion in the bathroom?” asked Ed while eating his bread.

The other two looked surprised, “How did you know that?”

Ed just snorted amusedly, and continued, “Does a boy named Colin Creevey get petrified?”

Harry just nodded weakly, “Yeah, they found him with his camera on the floor, stiff, they put him in a containment room. Wait, how do you know that too?!”

Ed chuckled and gestured rainbows with his hand,” Magic Harry, Magic.”

Harry and Ron snorted, and suddenly, Ed’s other roommates joined in.

“So, Ed,” said Seamus while smirking, “How was Beauxbatons? I hear the girls are really pretty there.”

Everyone’s ears on the table instantly perked up and leaned closer to the group, wanting to hear too.

Ed laughed at the Gryffindor’s behaviour, “Yes, I think they’re quite pretty, but the boys were quite arrogant though, someone even challenged me to a duel…”

“A duel?” Harry asked curiously, “Did you win?”

“I did,” Ed said proudly, causing the Gryffindors to cheer, “And they were not Happy about it… they looked like they wanted to jinx me every time they saw me.”

Dean then asked, “Why did they challenge you anyway? Do they want to show their school superiority?”

Ed nodded, “Half of it is because of that, the other half of the reason they challenged me is because of something else though.”

“What is it?” asked Seamus.

“Well, I never really talked to other people from the school except this one girl…”

“Girl?”

“Yeah, and she’s sort of everyone’s crush in that school, so they take it as an insult that a foreigner is talking to their crush.”

“So, she’s pretty? Like, really pretty?” Ron asked, even more interested in the story.

Ed smirked, “I don’t really know, I mean, I guess she is, she has a Veela heritage.”

“Veela?” Harry questioned, then Fred and George interrupted.

“they’re magical creatures that can mingle with wizards-”

“All of them are females, they’re really beautiful-”

“Almost no man can resist their charm.”

Ed looked at the twins strangely, “I didn’t know both of you are smart…” Ed teased a little bit. The twins just laughed and grabbed Ed’s shoulder.

“Don’t underestimate us Ickle Eddie”

“Yeah, we’re quite smart, even if we’re like this.”

“Now, tell us about that girl, do you have a picture of her?”

Ed chuckled and shook his head. “I don’t but I know a spell that can construct a memory, I haven’t tried it though…”

“Well, what are you waiting for!” said Fred.

“Yeah, try it now!” continued George.

Ed looked at the others, even the Ravenclaw table joined in the conversation, surrounding Ed like a hungry pack of wolves. They looked at Ed with hopeful eyes and pleaded to him.

“Fine,” Ed grumbled amusedly, “But I won’t be held responsible for the drooling, I don’t know if her charm will work if it’s just a memory, but still, I warned you.”

Ed pulled out his wand, he tapped the table, he focused on the memory of Fleur’s face, and projected it. And there it was, the projection appeared, an image of a girl was constructed in the middle of the hungry males of Hogwarts, the girl had silvery-blonde hair, deep blue eyes, fair skin, and of course, she is a breathtakingly beautiful witch.

The boys were at awe at the sight, they had never seen someone so beautiful, almost all the boys were drooling, Ed heard the girls scowling of jealousy. Seeing this, Ed stopped the projection, making all of the boys complain.

“Okay, okay, stop, I told you to not drool.” Ed said, “I may have her permission to show her face, but this is just too much.”

“Damn mate, I seriously envy you right now…” Ron grumbled while wiping his drool, “How can you talk to her anyway?”

Ed sighed, “I’m kind of the only one that can block her uncontrolled charm in that school, she’s curious at first, but then she started to approach me, asking how I could block her charm, and we became ‘friends’ after that.”

Everyone hummed, but before anyone could ask anymore questions, an angry voice sounded from behind Ed.

“Who’s that girl just now?” asked a voice, a girly voice that has an angry tone.

Ed saw the people around him snickering at Ed and left the scene, which Ed was confused about, then he turned around and realised why they were snickering. It was Hermione, she had a frown on her face, and she looked like she was about to throw the books in her hands to him.

“Oh, hello Hermione.” Said Ed while smiling, “I wanted to look for you after this, but here you are.”

“Who’s that girl just now?” repeated Hermione, her frown still visible.

“Fleur? Oh, she’s a friend, like my elder sister really, you should meet her, she’s quite nice, although a bit annoying.” Ed hurriedly explained Fleur to Hermione.

Hermione raised her eyebrow and questioned as she was unconvinced, “Really?”

Ed nodded weakly, he looked at the bracelet he got for her birthday and nodded in approval. “You wore the bracelet I gave you, good.”

Hermione looked at the bracelet that Ed gave and blushed lightly, forgetting the conversation before. “Yeah, thank you by the way.”

“No problem.” Ed said, making an Ok gesture. Then he sat again on the table and told Hermione to eat. The girl sat in front of him and picked a couple of foods from the table.

“So,” said Ed, “How was the brewing?” questioned Ed.

Hermione looked at Ed with surprise, but then was reminded that it is Ed, so shrugged and told her experience.

“What are you doing here by the way?” Hermione asked suddenly, “I thought you’re not supposed to go back until Christmas?”

Ed shook his head amusedly and teased the girl, “What? don’t like me being here? All right, I’ll go back then.”

Ed then stood up, pretending to leave, but then Hermione pulled him so sit again, glaring at him. Ed chuckled and explained the real reason why he was back.

“Dumbledore called me.” Said Ed, “But I can’t tell you the details, it’s concerning the Greengrass family…”

Hermione hummed, but Ed could hear a little bit of jealousy in that hum, “So Dumbledore called you because of that Greengrass girl?”

Ed sighed, “Like I said, I can’t tell you Hermione, unless Daphne told you herself, but I hear you got into a small fight, why is that by the way?”

Hermione flushed a bit before answering, “Nothing really, just girls stuff.”

Ed hummed dismissively, and he continued to chat with the other Gryffindors, talking about the Quidditch match that happened, ‘So Dobby didn’t try to hurt Harry, well, it makes sense, I told him not to.’ Thought Ed. Then, a blonde girl came into the great hall and walked to Ed.

She stood and faced Ed, “They agree Ed.” said the girl, which is Daphne, she handed him the letter she was holding, Ed took it and read what was in it. The contents were saddening to say the least, it’s a mother begging for her daughter’s life, she pleaded to Ed to find a cure for her daughter, and if he succeeded, the Greengrass family will be forever indebted to the Aldrich Family.

Ed just sighed heavily at this. He looked at Daphne who was fidgeting nervously at the stares of the Gryffindors.

“Okay, I’ll start working on it, I need to talk to Master Flamel about the notes first though, after that it will be luck.” Said Ed while giving Daphne a reassuring smile.

Daphne nodded and said, “Thank you Ed.” She exited the Great Hall again, probably to go to her sister.

Ed looked at the confused Gryffindors and said, “Okay, I got to get back.” He looked at Hermione, “I’ll see you later Hermione, stay safe.”

She nodded disappointedly and Ed exited the great hall, blinking to Beauxbatons once again.

In the evening, Hermione was sitting in the library, doing her homework alone. She has stacks of books in front of her for reference, but she didn’t read those books at all, in fact she’s not focused on the homework at all. She was thinking about something, or rather, someone.

‘That idiot,’ she pouted, ‘Why does he even need to go to France? I swear to Merlin if she’s lying about that girl I would jinx him to oblivion.’

She ruffled her own hair, made an annoyed expression, and continued to complain in her head, ‘Seriously, I feel lonely right now because of him, and he had the audacity of showing off a girl to his friends. And when he came back early it’s not because he missed me or anything, nooo, it’s because of that Greengrass girl.’ She became angrier and angrier for each word she thought.

She pouted once more and rolled the parchment of her homework, she carried the books and brought it outside, she stomped her feet through the corridors, but she thought about something,

‘Does he even like me in the first place?’ she thought gloomily, ‘With all those pretty girls around him…’ her expression fell.

Hermione just walked to the common room and entered her dorm room. She put the book beside her bed, and she opened a photo album. She looked at the photos inside it, there’s a photo with her and her parents, her with Ron and Harry, and lastly, her with Ed on the train.

Hermione looked at the photos longingly and sighed, she put away the book and lay down on her bed, sinking to the ocean of dreams.
