My friends had chosen to give me the cold shoulder over the rest of the weekend following my little mental break. I couldn't care less as Regulus had it coming. What did they honestly expect from the daughter of Tom Marvolo Riddle.

He stuck to his guns and insisted to all of our friends he had no idea what he had done as if he was under spell which seemed like absolute bullshit. The guys even confirmed that when they had found him he was completely into what Amber was doing to him.

"Are you guys seriously not going to speak to me still? It's been two days" I moaned at the stubborn pair as we got ready for our first lesson.

"You knew Regulus would do something about you dancing on Gideon yet you did it anyways whilst staring right at him and then proceeded to break and set a light his broomstick that he needs for quidditch, it was completely uncalled for" Lillian argued with me which I scoffed to.

"Are you seriously taking his side? He got his dick sucked by his ex right in front of me!" I shouted back to her.

"I've told you from the start something seems fishy, I don't see why you couldn't just wait until we got to the bottom of it" she pulled her bag over her shoulder and followed a silent Pandora towards our dorms door.

"Whatever" I rolled my eyes, pulling my bag over my shoulder and leaving the room behind them.

We all made our way to the Potions classroom in silence, pushing through the erratic first years.

Once we got to the classroom I decided to take a seat on a stool at a bench on the side of the room by myself as Pandora and Lillian joined Regulus at our usual table. He seemed far more upset than usual.

"Right class, seeing as a large amount of Amortentia had been stolen from the cupboard I thought it seemed fit to spend our lesson learning about the potion today" Slughorn raised his voice across the classroom.

Amortentia

Which potion is that again?

"Can anyone please explain what the potion does to the drinker" Slughorn darted his eyes between students when a hand shot into the air and a very smug looking Ambrosia caught his eye.

"Please, go ahead Miss Parkinson" He took a seat on the edge of his desk waiting for her explanation.

"Amortentia causes a powerful infatuation or obsession, it is the strongest love potion known to the wizarding world and can cause someone so unimaginably in love to cheat on their partner." She explained as she grinned towards me.

That bitch.

The drink she had gave him and the fact he just stopped storming towards Barty so suddenly to follow Ambrosia inside. It all made perfect sense.

I shot up from my chair and stormed towards her until a hand grabbed my wrists. I looked down to notice Regulus looking straight into my eyes and widened his own, as if to tell me beating the girl in the middle of the classroom would get me into too much trouble.

I sat down onto the chair next to him and looked at him sympathetically. I felt like so horrible for how I've treated him to only just come to the conclusion that he was drugged. How could I of all people not figure that out, potions is quite literally my best subject. Even Slughorns been begging me for the past year to join his stupid Slug Club because of it just like my father.

"I'm so sorry" I whispered to him as he placed his hand on top of mine.

"It's okay, don't worry about it" He reassured me but all I could do was worry.

I ruined his broomstick, I practically forced him to beat an innocent Gryffindor bloody. I threw his ring in the rubbish.

I brought my hand up to my neck to feel the empty space around my neck from the missing piece of jewellery that hadn't left my skin for the past couple of months.
