Forbidden Love

Chapter 26

October. 

It's been over two months since the last time I saw or spoke to Draco Malfoy. 

It has become a lot easier now that I've spent every waking moment with Theo. Although there is a massive amount of sexual tension between us, we have never done anything more than a few extreme make out sessions.. 

Theo has been my support system since Draco left, and to be honest, I haven't really been that upset. Theo does everything in his power to make sure I'm always smiling. He writes me notes everyday, walks me to class, dines with me, and makes sure everything is okay, emotionally. 

Aside from being with Theo, my friendship with Eleanor has deepened. A few weeks back, I filled her in on all the details with Draco and Mattheo. She understood why I was so upset with Draco being gone, and she tries to comfort me as much as possible, but I assure her that I'm okay when she asks. She is definitely my best friend here at Hogwarts, and she has helped keep my mind off of Draco, too. 

I've also became very close with the twins. After the party the first week of school, the twins took an immediate liking to me, and we hang out almost everyday now, especially on Saturdays when we go to Hogsmeade when they don't have Quidditch practice or games. 

Mattheo still watches over me the same way Theo does. Although, Mattheo has really lightened up on the sexual comments towards me since Draco left. He occasionally spouts one off every now and then, but I always expect it from him now.

Blaise sometimes hangs out with Theo and I. Although, I think Blaise has picked up on Theo's infatuation with me, so he tries to respect his alone time with me. Crab, Goyle, and Ramona are about the same. They all hang out with us everyday, but nothing drastic has changed with them in the last couple of months. I think the group has noticed that Crab may have a crush on Ramona, though.

Overall, we've all gotten extremely close. Our group is.. one of a kind.

Saturday, October 20th. 

I wake up to see the leaves falling from the trees outside onto the balcony. Eleanor is still sound asleep in her bed. Last night, we went to the Slytherin vs. Hufflepuff Quidditch match. Eleanor was nothing less of a beast out there. She got bloodied up a little, but she pulled through the beating from the girl on the Hufflepuff team. Slytherin won the match 120-80. I can guarantee Eleanor won't be waking up anytime soon solely due to exhaustion. 

I slip out of bed to find my pocket watch and check the time. It reads 8:17 am. I don't sleep for more than six hours each night these days. 

I walk over to my vanity and apply some moisturizer to my face and neck before picking out my outfit for the day. The weather is now a lot cooler, so I decide to wear a dark green cropped sweater with my high waisted black ripped jeans and my black combat boots. Once I'm dressed, I glance into the mirror and apply some simple make up and curl my hair. I put on my dark green beanie and my snake necklace before heading downstairs. The snake ring Draco gave me now collects dust as it sits on my vanity, I haven't worn it since the day I found out he wasn't returning to Hogwarts.

I enter the common room to find Mattheo, Theo, and Blaise up bright and early sitting around chatting. I walk over to the sofa and sit down between Theo and Mattheo. 

"Morning everyone.." I greet them with a yawn.

Theo is the first to speak. "Morning, love. How did you sleep?" 

"Alright I guess. *in a whispering voice* I had a dream about you."

"Oh really? Enlighten me on the details then," He demands running his fingers through his chocolate brown hair.
