My love,

I have to attend to some matters on my own. I've sent for Evan and your friends to keep a close eye on you whilst I am gone. Please don't come looking for me, I'm not sure how long I will be gone. I promise that when I'm back I am going to marry you so please do be patient.

I love you with all of my heart, stay safe.

I placed the note back onto the bed next to me and took a deep breath. What does any of this mean? Why has he left me. Is this why he was saying he wished he never had to leave. Before I knew I was running to that bathroom as I felt bile travel upwards from my stomach.

The reminiscence of last nights meal emptied from my mouth and into the toilet as I kneeled in-front, holding my self up by either side of the seat. I had no time to even think about the meal that had escaped my stomach before I was running towards the Slytherin common room, note in hand and in my pyjamas, where Pandora, Lillian and Evan were getting ready to leave for their first lessons.

"What the fuck is this" I shoved the letter into Evan's chest.

The three read over the letter as their eyes widened in shock. Evan pulled a note from his cloak that was yet to be opened and I grabbed it from his hand before he had a chance to read it himself.

I'm off to find the Horcrux and destroy it. Don't tell Nad's why I have left as I fear she will come and search for me. I don't know when I will be back or even if I will at all but the Order aren't doing much to stop her father and I want him gone before I plan to start a family with her.

"He can't be fucking serious" I managed to choke out before I felt the familiar feeling of bile try to escape my stomach.

I pushed past Pandora and Lillian and tan towards my old dorm. I flung the door open, running into the bathroom, and began to empty my stomach once again. Lillian and Pandora followed closely behind me, one rubbing at my back and the other holding my hair out of my face.

"Nad's, did you started to use those vials from Pomfrey?" Lillian questioned softly.

"No, they tasted horribly so we have just been using charms" That's when my eyes widened in shock at the memory of Pomfrey's words.

"The charms will start to be useless, after a while your body will start to reject them. It is important to start using these vials"

The words rang through my head that I had foolishly not bothered to take in. My eyes widened as I looked up towards the two worried girls kneeling either side of me and I began to empty my stomach into the toilet once more.

I was due on my time of the month days ago and I hadn't even realised I was already late. Lillian grabbed at a piece of toilet paper and helped me wipe my mouth as Pandora poured me a goblet of water from the sink which I quickly drank as I started to feel dehydrated.

"Come on, we need to get you to Pomfrey" Lillian and Pandora helped me up from the floor and guided me out of the dorm where Evan was still looking at the notes in shock.
