"How can you be like that, you sound so rude," Daphne huffed clearly not happy with me. By the looks of it, no one was except me. I rolled my eyes and took a sip of tea.
"I grew up in an unknown household for six years, barely learning my grandparent's names and outright ignoring their house-elf. I systematically starved myself because I felt like I needed more time to study so that Father would take my back. I had to deal with the constant rejection of him saying I am not allowed home. I had to deal with my imperfections, I became so focused on being perfect, I didn't have a childhood. So if you want to know why your problems seem less important to me because I know my father doesn't love me. And all your parents do. Even you Theodore, I spoke to your father who only talks about how proud he is of you. It took him three whole months to find you the perfect gift for your birthday, while my father's secretary bought me mine for the last six years," I ranted out in one colossal explosion.
"Or at least he doesn't love me enough to show it," I added. Now they were silent all exchanging glances while I finished my tea. "Shall we leave, I am quite tired," I said trying to avoid their gazes. I shared too much but there was nothing to do. I stood up and felt arms around me.
Everyone was hugging me, it was silent. No talking just hugs. I did not return their hugs, U just let the warmth cover me. After a while, I let my head rest on Theodore's shoulder and closed my eyes for a bit. "We should really go to bed you guys," I said trying to get them to move away.
"We should," Draco said being the first one to let go. I nodded and started walking back with the rest. We entered the Common room and I was surprised with how easy it was to slip out. I softly sneaked up the stairs and made sure Daphne was following me. Once we opened the door to the dorm I let go of her hand. I walked to my bed and undressed and dressed in my nightgown.
I didn't bother trying to brush my teeth and jumped into bed. Daphne was also in bed with her head turned towards me with a small smile. I smiled back before closing my eyes. It was going to be a long night and I didn't bother staying up. After all, I had to be sharp tomorrow. I have Snape as my first official lesson and I need to make a good expression if I wanted to survive potions.
In my mind I wen tot my landscape and look at the castle I entered I went to the special potions dungeon which I had created to tore all my knowledge over potions. Within the little room, I started creating all kinds of potions and reviewing the information I learned and perfecting it all over. I placed a timer to show me the time. My body was being relaxed and mentally I could be awake for at least two months before I truly had to put my mind to rest. I worked the whole night while still being refreshed in the morning.
