Silence. That's what follows my confession. I don't know what's going on through his head. I just know whatever it is, it can't be good. I freeze. Physically and mentally. I don't want to have to prepare myself for whatever his answer could be.
"How?" I was surprised by his response.
"How what?" I ask.
"How were you able to do it. Moody says it takes a lot of mental courage and capacity to do so. How were YOU able to do the Cruciatus curse? "
"ALMOST!" I corrected. " And maybe it has something to do with what happened in the US. I don't know. Does it really matter?" Just.... I- I don't know, I'm a monster. I'm becoming Voldemort."
"No. You're not. Though you were a bit extreme...... I understand where you're coming from."
What....
"Who are you and what have you done with Harry?" I joke around, a tear dropping from my face as I've finally gotten these feelings out after so long. I quickly wipe it as I smile genuinely for the first time since I've come to Hogwarts. (**I'm cringing at this so hard help 😭**)
At night the next day....
A week... that's how long we had until the next task. I was feeling confident about what could possibly happen, but honestly I don't know what to do. One amazing thing about this school are the many hiding spots you can sneak out to during the nighttime. You get a fantastic view of the lakes and forests and nature. The astronomy tower.
There is a ledge you can sit on which is kind of dangerous if you ask me, but no matter. I dangle my feet off the ledge and watch the lake for a few minutes before I remember this isn't a movie where everything becomes perfect because of nature.<333 Suddenly it became boring and I just decided to read on the ledge since I had no intention of going back to the dorms.
"You're in my spot." I flinched and turned around to see Mattheo, staring down at his book while writing notes.
"Forgot to do your homework?" I question.
"I never do it. I just felt bored today."
"Never thought someone would do their homework because their bored. You're a completely different species Mr.Riddle."
"Yup. So did big brother finally cope with his sister going to the ball?" He had a very high tone of sarcasm in his voice.
"Yes actually. I told him everything. I bet you took great pleasure seeing my brother in distress."
"Hey!" He said, raising his hands up. "We had a deal."
"Yeah, yeah. I know, no need to remind me of the worst decision of my ENTIRE life."
"Touché."
He sits behind me and does his homework while I finish reading. I wouldn't say it was awkward, but it definitely wasn't comfortable either.
"You gotta admit, the ball was fun." He says out of nowhere.
"Fun? It was horrible."
"Oh yes, I could see how horrible you were finding it from the way you were laughing like a maniac. Mhm yes...."
"I- I WAS NOT!" I protest.
"Yes you were."
"No!"
"Sure sweetheart, whatever helps you sleep at night." He just leaves it at that.
" Don't take the ball the wrong way."
"How many times do I have to say it sweetheart, don't flatter yourself. I don't think of you that way."
"I KNOW! I just don't want you getting any weird ideas like... being a fling or something. "
He bursts out laughing.
"Oh my you really are delusional."
I blush as I think over what I just said.
"Just friends." he says.
Wait, we're friends? I think. I don't know what to say at the moment so I just say-
"Friends. Just friends."

Fanfiction"SNOW, SNOW WAIT! Please, you know I love you. You feel it too, you told me!" His eyes had a pleading look to it. His hand grabbed my arm and put it on my heart. "You must feel that!" "That's where you're wrong, I don't feel the fear of it anymore...
