(New book will be titled : Silently Screaming For Help)
"Are you guys just heading straight down?"
"Yeah, we're going to be sitting in the changing room- Lia?" Tearing my gaze away from my goblet I lifted my head and looked at Draco who sat opposite me with Blaise while the two girls sat either side of me
"Are you alright?" Nodding silently I looked up at the ceiling, the dark clouds moving slowly with the still heavy and constant rain fall as a couple of rolls of thunder could be heard as I forced down a swallow before lowering my head as Pansy and Daphne gripped at my hands under the table
"You'll be fine"
"This doesn't feel right. At all"
"It's just nerves"
"It's not. I had nerves before my first Quidditch match. This isn't nerves" I told them quietly as I glanced up and I caught sight of Oscar and Tristan as they both tried to offer smiles
"It will pass soon enough- how have you kept it from Diggory?"
"I don't even know" I told them quietly as I stopped myself from slamming my head onto the table as I shut my eyes, breathing in as I jumped at the sound of another roll of thunder as Daphne rested her head on my shoulder
"We'll be down there... watching you kick Weasley's arse" she added quietly as a laugh got the better of me and we stayed at the table, watching as the hall started to empty while I glanced at my watch
"It's nine, isn't it?"
"Ten to"
"Are you ready?" Blaise asked quietly as I looked at him for a moment before the four started getting to their feet and I followed a moment after, the smallest tremble in my knees as I followed them to the doors, getting attacked into a hug from Pansy and Daphne when we were out of sight of everyone else as I sighed quietly
"We'll be down ten or fifteen minutes before it starts"
"You'll be fine Lia"
"Thank you, both of you" I said to them quietly as they both pressed a kiss to my cheek as I shook my head amused while they stepped back and Daphne wiped at my cheek slightly
"You've got a smear of lip gloss. Sorry" she apologised smiling as I smiled at the two of them as I got another quick hug
"We'll see you soon"
"See you later" I said to them quietly as I turned around and joined Blaise and Draco as we made our way towards the entrance hall, turning my head to them as they smiled and I offered a small wave before following them down the entrance hall steps as Blaise flicked his wand, an umbrella appearing over the three of us as we made our way to the quidditch pitch as quick as we could, taking shelter in the changing room as I sank down onto the bench
"Are you going to practice?"
"I don't know. Should I?"
"Well do you feel prepared?"
"I feel like a dead girl walking" I muttered as they sat down either side of me
