Chapter 2
I went straight to dinner. And that with Lily.
When we entered the Great hall, Lily hugged me.
“Bye”
“Bye”
I walked to the slytherin table where Cas almost killed me when she hugged me.
“So it went well?” I asked, even though it was clear that it did.
“Yesss,” said Dorcas.
She was almost jumping on her chair the entire time. I was surprised that she didn't already make us go out of the great hall to tell us what happened.
When we finally ate the dinner, Cas literally dragged me, Evan, Barty and Reg to the slytherin tower.
When we came into the boys's dorm she closed the door and said “Marlene kissed me.”
She said it loud and obvious, like everyone knew what she was talking about. I of course did, but the boys didn't.
“That's amazing,” I said and hugged her.
“Wait,” said Evan.
“What's going on?” asked Barty.
Regulus looked at her curiously.
“Oh yea,” said Cas, “you guys don't know about that.” she was silent for a moment and then said “so, i'm queer. I wouldn't think any of you have a problem with that as Evan and Barty-”
“Wait us?” asked Evan “there is nothing with us.”
“Oh please, you two are pretty obvious,” said Reg.
“Really,?” asked Barty, “how long have you guys known?”
Evan gave him the 'why are you addimiting' kind of look.
“It's okay, we don't have a problem with it.”
“Wait, Dorcas,” said Evan then “your girlfriend, she's on the quidditch team right?”
“Yea, she is,” answered Cas
But something else stayed in my head, “so she's your girlfriend? You two made it official?” I asked happily.
“Well, not actually-“ started Cas but she was interrupted by Barty.
“So how long have you guys known about us?” he asked, pointing at him and Evan.
“A few weeks, maybe a month.” said Reg
Barty and Evan just nodded and smiled.
“And Evan, you're literally lying on Barty's bed with your head in his lap,” I added “you two are pretty obvious.”
Evan just shook his shoulders and Barty laughed.
“Okay so let me talk,” said Cas “Marls kissed me and i think that i love her like actually love her and i think that she might also love me or maybe just like and i honestly don't know if i'm nervous or just excited” she said all of this in one breath and i'm actually surprised i understood her as she really is a fast talker.
“Well she obviously likes you if she kissed you” said Barty while he rolling his eyes.
“Don't roll your eyes honey” i said “it's cute how much you care about those things you don't have to pretend you don't care.”
“Oh believe me i don't care”
“Sure you don't” said Evan while winkink to him.
“Should I ask her out?” asked Dorcas.
“Yea, ask her to Hogsmade this weekend”
“Okay i will, i just hope she doesnt turn me down”.
“She won't”
“Wait, what should I wear?”
“I vote for your green shirt,” said Barty and all of us looked at him curiously because why would he care? “The slutty one that shows a lot of cleavage.” he added.
Now this makes more sense.
All of us started laughing while Cas started nodding and then took ahold of my hand and started pulling me out of the room.
“Come on, you'll help me choose!” announced Cas
“Bye guys,” I said, waving them off with my free hand as Dorcas pulled me into the hallway.
She literally ran to her dorm pulling me behind her.
Once when we're in her dorm she opened her closet and threw some clothes out
“Okay, let's start”

We were choosing her outfit for almost an hour when we finally settled on black leather pants and a dark green crop top.
I didn't mention to Cas that she hasn't even asked Marlene out yet.
i was just walking outside, about to go into the forest.
I know that the forbidden forest is supposed to be dangerous, but i think that if you're quiet and calm no monster will come to you.
I like to sit down in front of a big tree and just do random spells. Sometimes I even invent a new one. It's actually pretty fun.
“Hi,” I say as a stag comes to me. This stag has been coming to me for the past year and he's really nice. I know that it's weird but I like to talk to him. It's not like talking to a human, even though I feel like he understands me and he can't tell things that I tell him on. So i tell him everything. I tell him about Regulus, about Dorcas, about Barty, about Evan. about Lily.

As I was walking back to the castle, I saw Xeno. Xenophilius Lovegood, my best friend since I was five. He's a year older than me, so I don't see him that much, but during summer we are together all the time.
We became friends when we were little, because once after my mother punished me I ran out of the house into the forest that we live next to. After some time of wandering around woods I realized I was lost and I started crying and that was when Xeno saw me and we started talking. He calmed me down and then after some time he went home. I didn't want to go to my house because I was scared of my mother, so I followed him. He realized I was walking behind him just before he got home. He called for his mum, because he didn't know what to do, as he was six years old. His mum took me to their house and made me tea. I stayed at their house that night, and me and Xeno got really close. I basically live in their house during the summer.
I know I'm lucky that my parents don't care about me and let me do that, because I know how hard it is for Reg because he is stuck in their house. Even though it still sometimes hurts to know that my parents don't care about me even a bit.
I ran to Xeno and hugged him. We talked for a while walking to the Ravenclaw common room and when we were there each of us went to our dorms.
