Too soon
Days and nights are going by quickly. Everyone's on edge. We all share one wish. To go back to Hogwarts.
We want our dorms back. We want the fun back. The parties, the music, the happiness. I never thought I would say this, but this mannor was cold. I can't call it a home anymore. Thank goodness it was August. I can't wait fot the 1st of September.
It rained so we stayed inside today. Although we were out last night. It was the best thing ever. We're planning to go to the small ball room to have a sleepover. We will set up some blankets and get out some snacks and have fun.
We needed some fun in our lives. The first month of being here was living hell. The halls were empty but always filled with darkness. We couldn't go out of the mannor. It was too risky.
One night we all snuk out on the grounds. It was the best night ever. We had so much fun. We roasted marshmallows in the endles green fire pit. I still have the photos from it. Best memories from this summer.
My mind was wandering from old memories here. I couldn't believe we didn't do anything here. That's sad.
We eventually split up into our own rooms where we were in the first place. We finally got the permition. I had a room to myself now. I loved it. I feel that everything is finally in control.
I heard a knock on the door. The doors opened and Mattheo came inside. "Please, don't forget about our tonight's plan. So, 10 o'clock strikes and we hop down to the ball room. We check if everything's alright, and everyone should be asleep by then. Everything needed for the night is already there. We prepared it. Now we need to talk about some other salty plan."
'Salty plan' was our code word for sex and cuddles. It's actually the opposite. It's sweet, but we picked it because it was easier to cover up.
"There will be some tents or sleeping bags. We can use the spacing charm on it to make it bigger. We can make into our bed like in the slytherin bedrooms." He looked plain as I was trying to brew a plan. "You know what I mean. They're spacious. They are also comfy. I sometimes think they were made just for the salty plan. I just can't get enough of the softness." I said.
He kissed me. Tried to stop me from speaking, huh. How dare he be so cute and funny?
"Don't worry. Everything's under control. You know it." I whispered. I stroke through his soft hair.
I remembered how he always liked me to do his braids. When he buzzed it in 3rd year I was in total shock. I couldn't believe it. It grew back, of course, but it's now just short and almost always clean cut. The only thing is, it isn't right now. It is messy, overgrown. The school year, he usually has a slick back look, and then when the night came, he would wash it and leave it to air dry. It's funny when he tries to hug me and then my whole sholder is wet.
I rubbed the back of his head and let him go. I knew he had something to do. He can't be mine all the time. Although he wants to.
"See you at 10 pm. Remember what I said." He reasured himself. I could see the temptation in his eyes. I could feel it in his stance. I smiled and waved goodbye.
After he left, I laid on my bed for hours just waiting for the clock to hit the number 10. It felt like years, but once it happened I stormed out of the room, quickly and sneakily running to the door of the ball room.
I wore a beautiful black dress with a low back. I felt ready for everything. Even my hair is up. I made a bun using a hairclip.
I walked over to the corridor and bumped into someone. It was Nott. He looked scared for some reason. I gave him the questioning look and he said: "No time for explaining. Get everyone out of their rooms. We need to get to my father. He's going to apparate us to Hogwarts. It isn't safe for us here anymore."
It's the 10th of October. School isn't even open yet. What is he talking about? "Theo? What happened?"
"I said, no time for explaining. Get your stuff ready. I'll call everyone else. We will meet up at the front way door. You know, the arch." He said, rushing to our hallway.
I rushed to my room and packed everything I could. There was this book about the Dark spell counterbacks. I grabbed it and shoved it in my suitcase. I grabbed one more book. I grabbed the: 'Everything a healer needs to know avout healing.' I knew it will get in handy one day.
We met up by the front door and everyone was in a hurry. Something deffinitily happened. I didn't know what but it did.
The Nott's can apperate us only to Hogsmeade, so we walked to the castle. They were with us the whole way, until we were locked in the Hogwarts gates. That was the sign. We were safe. For the first time in a long time, we were safe.
Dumbledore got us to his office and brought some food and hot drinks. We were delighted to see someone happy.
He explained everything. The dementors were out of their usual place, Askaban. They are thinking it might be Voldemort who let them out. When Dumbledore said his name, I could feel Matheo's whole body shake. He's scared. If I was in his situation, I would be too. Not a time to joke about it, isn't it.
The dementors are being taken uder control but it's still better for us to be here, where there is a magical border around us. No one coming in, no one coming out.
We were delighted to finally see our old rooms. There are the treats here left from when we were going out for summer break. That isn't usually how it is but here we are. Coming to Hogwarts and the term hasn't even started yet.
The halls are empty. I haven't seen it any time I was at Hogwarts. Not even the ghousts roaming around.
The good part about us here is: the 'salty time'! Mattheo and Theo are coming to my and Pansy's room and we're having some fun. I can't wait. We went to the kitchens and got some Butterbeer! Ah, the good old days. The parties. It all came. The memories! I started happy crying and Pansy was litteraly scared for life. She never actually start crying from out of nowhere. I explained and we laughed it off.
The late summer breeze coming the room. We heard a knock on the door. "We're ready!" giggling coming from our mouths.
