  CHERRY

It wasn't what I expected. All night I couldn't close my eyes and sleep. I had Tom's words in my mind. I felt something inside me I couldn't describe, perhaps this is how guilt feels?
The sensation of knowing you fucked up it's coming closer to me.

Still I get out my bed and I go straight to the mirror, I look at myself and sigh in disappointment once I see how awful I look.
It's been 3 days since Mattheo left and it's been 3  days Since I talked to Tom.
I've been avoiding Tom at all cost for this past days. I feel like I want to cry each time I see him.
 
After 20 minutes I was ready to start my day with a positive attitude, which obviously failed .
I went out looking for Judah since I know him is the only one I have .

After walking around looking for him I finally find him in the library, he was wearing his reading glasses while he was focused on his book.
I come closer to him trying to not  disturb him but he looks away from his book to look at me.
He always does that, it's as if he has a sensor for when I'm near him.

I take a sit in front of him.
"Hello" I say looking at him
"Good morning.. how did you slept last night?" He asked with a true caring tone
"I didn't... that's the problem" I say
"Tom or Mattheo?" He asked  and I look at him in confusion
"Why Mattheo?"I asked
"Perhaps you miss him?" He said
"No... Tom , I can't get him out of my mind... last time we talked he said some things I can't let go"
I sigh , it was then I heard a laugh.

A soft laugh , from a girl I clearly know.
I look to my side and a few meters away I see Nila Lovegood, she was laughing and smiling sweetly while her hair moved swiftly . Was it normal I wanted to punch her in the face?
Then I see who is she with... Tom Riddle .
He was also laughing, with her.
He was with her.

Then I look at Judah, he frown when he saw my angry look.
"Let's get out of here" I say in a harsh tone.
He quickly nodded and started to gather his stuff .

I stand up but I heard her again. Laughing.
Anger.
Anger.
Anger is all I feel.

Then I see Tom  , he was laughing too.
Why are they laughing?!
"So tonight at 8pm?" He says.

Oh no he did not!

Then without thinking of my actions I walked closer to him.
Stop walking Cherry!

Stop!

I felt a pair of arms around me pulling back before I could even reach Tom and Nila.
Thank god Judah grabbed me and pulled me away.
He put me over his shoulder and  brought me outside the library.

"Obviously you have no control over Your jealousy" he says with a nonchalant tone .
"I know! Let me down!" I say , and he does let me down once we were far enough of Tom and Nila . I look up at him
"I think they're having a date! A fucking Date!" I say to Judah. He only nodded listening to me.
"Then let them be..."
"NO" I interrupted
"Cherry... you have more important things to do, remember your parents trial? You have to prepare your speech" I look at Judah , he was rigth . I could not get distracted over some silly drama .

I needed to stay focused.

The Riddles are left behind.

Tom•

I saw Judah carrying her away. It was a obvious act of jealousy she just made. That's exactly what I wanted. She deserves to feel how I felt.
Is my time to make her pay.

I turn to Nila and I smile.
"I have to go. But see you tonight" I say. She nods at me smiling and blushing.
I know I shouldn't be using her to make Cherry jealous. But I know Cherry doesn't like Nila , and obviously Nila is the best option to make Cherry suffer.

I get out the library and go straight to my first class.

Mattheo•

I've been living in the Manson old manor. Cherry was kind enough to give me the address on a letter she send me that same night I wasn't at hogwarts.
This place is nice, very big but dirty.
Is a old manor I can't expect much of this place.

I woke up early today, I grabbed a cup of coffee and a cigarette.
I had no food , no money, I had nothing.

Just some papers of my plans for the future and the exact location of Bellatrix Lestrange. Who I will go meet soon. But first I need to know how to not look like a complete mess. Lestrange is a powerful woman who I would not like to disappoint.

After I'm finished with my coffee and cigarette, I go to the old office who I'm guessing it was of Cherry's father. I sit on the desk and I look at the papers.
Julius Avery has send me a very important letter with information of where the prophecies are hidden in the ministry of magic

I read everything he has sent me. At that instant I started to plan everything.
But for that I need to reunite everyone.
And I need.... Mask.

That way no one will recognize any of us when we finally brake into the ministry.
Good thing is that one will suspect that some teenagers would break in.

But who can be of help for that?

Who can be as smart and capable to teach me how to fight in case of dueling with guards?

It was sure I needed training, I can't stay here and plan everything in my head . I need a person who will teach me all the sinful things I need to do to continue what my father couldn't finish.

And I know who that is.

I Stand up from the desk and go to one of the rooms , the one I had all my clothes.
I packed my things again.
I grabbed my books of importance,letters, everything I believe can help me in the future. I put on a black jacket.
And then I go out the manor.

I look down at my hand and read the location carefully.

Biertan Transylvania .

I take a deep breath before I start to walk towards the gate of the manor.

Bellatrix Lestrange. Is time for me to meet you.
