Dazed fields, drunken weekends


 
oSaturday, October 27th 1998

I had to figure out how to get not get marked. Because if I get marked my whole life will be planned out for me. Forever.
This isn't  going to be Easy. I've spent hundreds of hours thinking of scenarios of how my life will turn out after. None of them end well. I've spent hundreds of hours trying to figure a way out. Researching, reading books and communicating with people on the inside. Nothing is an option. Running away won't work either, if get tracked down Instantly. So for now I'm just going to continue overthinking and trying to find a way out before I do get marked.

And I still don't understand what Voldemort's son was doing at Hogwarts and why Dumbledoor even let him come here. He's definitely spying for father or something. There's no other explanation. Or I mean o could also find out. It's dangerous but I'm willing  to take a risk, after all he can't even read my mind. And I'm sure I could fight him. How dangerous even is he?

"Lorenzo?" I said staring out of the windowsill we were both sitting on.
"Yeah."
"What do you think Riddle is doing here?"
His dark eyes shot up at me in confusion.
"Spying for Voldemort?" He shrugs.
"Doesn't that bother you? Don't you want to do something about it?" I say.
"Gigi listen to me. It's too dangerous. He's a killer, have you seen him in defense against the dark arts. And I'm sure he was holding back."
"I'm not saying I'm going to do anything. I just don't trust him."
"Nobody does."

I spent the rest of the day studying with Lorenzo, Caroline, Draco and Bonnie for upcoming exams in the boys' dorm and smoking some new herb their selling in Diagonal Alley. Blaise was somewhere with his dad going to his aunts funeral. I wish I could be there for him. He's been going through a lot lately.

Weekends were the best with my friends, we always snuck around campus after hours and went into restricted areas. Once we snuck into the forbidden forest and if it weren't for Hagrid's kind heart we'd probably be expelled.

"SHUT UP DRACO YOU'RE GOING TO GET US CAUGHT!" Pansy whispered.
"Shut it both of you!" I laughed.
We ran in spirals down the stairs with the three of them and we were all tripping from laughter struggling to stay on our feet. The wind hitting our faces at our speed and a roller coaster like feeling as we shifted from side to side hanging onto the railings. Lorenzo always being right behind me catching me at my waist. My stomach flooding with an unfamiliar feeling. I had to snap out of it.

We ran towards the lake that's about 10 minutes from the castle after Draco cast a sleeping spell on the gnomes guarding the castle exists.

"I swear if you were slower by one second we'd be goners!" Lorenzo directed at Draco.
"Oh shut it we wouldn't be." He shoved him.  Making Lorenzo almost fall into the lake.
"Oh calm down boys." I rolled my eyes as me and Pansy laughed our heads off.
"Oh you wanna play that game?" Lorenzo raised a brow as he directed towards me grabbing me and throwing me over his shoulder."

"PUT ME DOWN LORENZO BIRKSHIRE!"  I shouted hitting his back.
When he jumped into the freezing lake. What an idiot. Adrenaline rushed through my body as I covered in goosebumps and Lorenzo right next to me diving out of the water soaking wet. I couldn't help but laugh hysterically, as everyone else did.

I loved the feeling of adrenaline, it made me feel alive.

"LORENZO I WILL KILL YOU!"
"Please don't Ms Rhodes, I promise I'll be good!" He says mockingly raising his hands in the air.

I couldn't help but notice his  once white, now transparent shirt  underlining his v-line. And Pansy for sure caught me staring . I quickly brushed it off and realized that my shirt was now also transparent.
"Shit." I say. Pansy quickly ran to me giving me her jumper.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"Saved your ass." She smiled hugging Mrs god I love that girl.
"Could've  left it as it was." Draco smirked.
"You prick." I said shoving my middle finger up.
We spelt all day talking and laughing in the  green fields. But it soon began raining and we all ran back. 

The thunder struck the sky and the stars were visible for seconds and then not again.
The grass hit my ankles. It was like deja vu.

As we all panted finding a dry area inside the castle, our back hit the walls and we all laughed in sink. Enjoying this moment because we all knew our lives wouldn't be like this for much longer.
