The great hall was filled with students chattering the next morning, Cedric had his head dropped onto a book on the history of Succubi which Headmaster Dumbledore had procured for him. The information was indeed accurate and was for once, not muddled up with the fantasy of the other books, as he read he heard Helena's soft laughter permeate the air and reach his table. When he looked up, Bill had her on his lap, while Fred and George were poking fun at their older brother. He brushed off their frivolous behavior, vowing that he wipe the smiles of their faces.

At the Gryffindor table, Ron and Hermione watched Helena with disdain, she had started ignoring them completely and had taken to the company of the twins at breaks and in the commons, while during class she stuck firmly to the Slytherins whom were now her closest confidantes. The former bestfriends were sick of being cast aside, that is till Hermione came up with a plan. That afternoon as Helena walked through the hallways to her next class, she heard soft snickering coming from one of the staircases, at first she ignored it, till her sensitive sense of smell picked up the scent of her mate, Bill. She quietly crept to the bottom of the staircase in question and looked up, Bill was there with a girl Helena could not make out because her back was turned, yet she noticed the messy ginger colour hair and her breath caught. At first, she thought maybe they were tricking her, maybe it was Ron under Polyjuice potion, they were capable of that, but she would have been able to smell it and also she could see Ron standing next to Bill, a wry smile on his face. Her heart shattered as Bill wrapped his arms around Hermione, softly kissing her lips as he held her, Lilith herself took over, her own heart breaking as she realised that Cain did nothing to stop this atrocity. The succubi walked away with a heavy heart to her commons, she couldn't handle sitting in classes for the rest of the day, Fred and George were luckily in the dorm as she walked in, they were about to make a silly joke when they took into account her face, her eyes were bloodshot and puffy looking as if she cried for days, her hair was looking a bit messy for her standards, her hands were scratched up, the skin bleeding in certain areas as she kept scratching them. The twins faces were etched in worry as they pulled her between them, "Hey hey Gumdrop what's the matter?" Fred asked with a frown as he cupped her cheek, George held her hand and started healing her skin as Fred kept her distracted, when he was done he stood up,  "I'm going to get Bill Freddy." He said with clarity, as he spoke Helena grabbed his hand and shook her head fervently, her eyes brimming with tears once again, "Please...not him." Her voice was hoarse and seemed as if her throat was being constricted with emotion, George didn't have the heart to say no as he sat down, but the twins were confused, but none said a word as she finally fell off to sleep.

Helena woke up an hour later, the twins had moved her to their dorm which was shared by Lee Jordan and the three of them were eating supper by the looks of it. There was a small note with her wand which said they would bring her food when they were done and she had a lot of explaining to do. She softly sighed and looked down,  she could feel Lilith's strong presence within her but with it she felt the sadness and heartbreak that she had. "Maybe we just weren't what they wanted in this birth." She said softly as she walked to the window and looked out at the full moon, a sad smile on her face.

If I could choose anything
I would be good and bad one day
I would fall into love and stay
Would fall into love

And it's not fair
I keep on writing a sequel to stories
I know that are not there
I don't wanna die but I don't wanna live like this

I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again

If I am telling the truth
Watching my friends break their hearts into two
Makes me jealous, I know that it's cruel
But what can you do?

And it's not fair
I keep on writing a sequel to stories
I know that are not there
I don't wanna die but I don't wanna live like this

I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again

Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
I know I should be angry
But I can barely feel a fucking thing
Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
Can you tell me what's wrong with me

I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something, I just wanna feel
Something really real so that I can really
Feel like a person again

Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
I know I should be angry
But I can barely feel a fucking thing
Can you tell me a secret
Can you tell me what's wrong with me
Can you tell me what's wrong with me

She turned away from the window looking straight at Fred and George as they walked in. "I have to tell you something." She said softly.
