3/9/1943

      Freyja was sitting in the grass, with her back to a tree. The sky was beautiful today. It was clear, without a lot of clouds. Strange thing for England.

     She was holding her books in her hands. She realised that she was being too harsh towards her friend. She has anger management issues. She cannot control herself. She speaks without thinking first. She often says things she does not mean. One part of herself didn't want to tell Eva that she is jealous of her. The other part wants to feel superior. Better than everyone else. She was always told that she is no one that important. That the world would be the same with or without her. She wanted to change that.

  Her thoughts were disturbed by a quiet voice. "Hi." Freyja turned around and looked at the boy in front of her. His brown, wavy hair was being stroked lightly by the wind. His hands were in the pockets of his brown trousers. "Hello Adryan "The boy sat next to her in the grass.

"You didn't showed up in potions and I got worried" They were both looking at the sky above them. "I just wanted some time for myself. It is nice knowing that someone is worried about you"

"Of course I am worried about you. You are my friend "

Freyja scoffed"Friend..."

"Bella told me what happened. "

"Just a fight. That's all"

"Oh, darling, you fight with everyone ,all the time. It is more than that. If it was just a fight, we wouldn't be so frustrated right now"

Freyja took a deep breath and let her head hit the tree behind her. She looked at the ground and then back up at her friend's eyes.

"It's just that... When people tell me that they are better, I try to prove them wrong. I am a middle child, my parents were always working. My family is famous. Everyone expects me to be perfect. I am not . I make stupid decisions, I don't think clear, I always look for my mom's validation. "She took a deep breath" When my father and siblings died, everyone was accusing me and my mom. She didn't do it. My mom is an awful person but she wouldn't kill her children. The police didn't caught the killer yet."

"This is the first time you say something about you family."

"I don't like sharing things about myself"

"I think you have an interesting story. Your mom is the minister of magic, after all. You are related to Merlin himself.... And don't forget, what doesn't kill you,make you stronger"

"What doesn't kill me,better ran..." They both laughed "I was a child. I didn't need to be stronger... All I want in life, is greatness,glory, power. I want to be someone great, someone strong, important. The greatest witch of all. I need to be the best! You know what i mean."

"That's some Slytherin mindset right there. And actually, no. I don't know what you mean. I just want to be an auror "

"Wait, just that?"

"Yes"

"You don't want to be famous? You don't want people to admire you? Or even be afraid of you?"

"You sound like Riddle !"

"Ew..."

"Why don't you two hang out? I think you will become great friends. Or even couple... You are very alike"

"What?! No!!!''

"Why not? I mean, don't get me wrong, but you are the same. You have the same goals, mindset, beliefs...''

"I and Riddle are nothing alike! He is ...um...he is ...um..''

"See, you don't even have some bad to say about him."

"He annoys every single nerve of me. I can't even be in the same room with him and don't fantasize about hexing him "

"Do you only fantasize about hexing him or doing other things with him ?"

"Adryan !! Shut up! Me and Tom are not even friends! We are enemies !"

"Yes, enemies with benefits"

"Hey! Why do you think that me and Tom are a couple? I hate that man with every single nerve of my body !"

"Because you make out every night in the corridors"

"WHAT??"

"Yep. Bella told me that she wakes up at nights and you are not there and Abraxas told me that he also wakes up and Tom is not in his bed either"

"Everyone has insomnia in our friend group? "

"Yeah, that's how you call it now... Well, I am just saying that Tom is always talking about you. And I caught him staring at you multiple times in class... "

"Talking about me ?!"

"Yep. I think that you would be a very cute couple..."

"Shove off, Ashford! Let's change the subject! "

"Okay, okay... Are you planning on apologizing? "

"To be honest, no, I don't. Unless she apologize first. She started the fight, after all. "

"Really? What are you? Twelve? She said the exact same thing"

"Look, if she doesn't want to apologize, that's fine. But I will not run after her. If someone doesn't want to be in my life, let it be! "

"You're such a drama queen"

DADA classroom

   Everyone was sitting at their desks, waiting for the professor to enter, so they can start the test. Eva and Bella were sitting together, few desks behind Freyja, which was sitting with Tom.

  Tom was sitting silent, drawing in his diary. Freyja was trying to see what the drawing was.

"What are you doing? "Freyja asked Tom. "Nothing" 

  "But I can see you drawing"

  "Then why are you asking? "

"I am just bored and I want to make small talk"

"I don't. So shut up"

  Freyja rolled her eyes and looked again.

"Is that a snake? "

"Yes"

"Nice."

"What's your issue O'Lone? I already told you to stop talking"

"Don't tell me what to do. I'm just curious. That's all"

"Don't ask me anything. I do not want to talk right now. "

 
  Freyja opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She decided it was best for her not to annoy him very much.
 
   The professor opened the door, got in and they immediately started. 

midnight

  Eva is lying in her bed. Light is out but her eyes are open. She was thinking what Tom had told her yesterday

"I am truly sorry for what I told you that night. I wasn't feeling myself. You did nothing wrong. It was my fault. My deepest apology if I made you sad or even cry with my words. It was not my intention . I hope you consider what I am saying right now and join me. Trust me, you would love it. And honestly, I cannot imagine my team without you "

"What about Freyja?"

"What about her? "

"Don't you want her on your team too? "

" If I have you ,I don't need anyone else. I want you with me, Evangeline. I am aware that miss O'lone will try to convince you otherwise. She will say that I am using you. She will say it because she is jealous of you. I know her. She is evil and mean. Don't listen to her. Trust me. If you want to join our team, I will wait for you in the forbidden forest, tomorrow, at midnight "

    She got up from the bed. She changed and put on a dark brown dress and her everyday shoes. Carefully, so she doesn't wake up anyone, she got out of the common room. The corridors were empty. She walked rapidly, hoping that no one would see her. A full moon was enhancing the dark sky. The cold air was making her blond hair messier than they already were.

  After a lot of walking, she was finally in the forest. The moonlight was making it scarier than usually. The trees were moving like crazy due to the wind.

"Tom?" Eva yelled waiting for a response, but no one talked. Putting aside her fear, she decided to walk forward the forest.

  After a while, four silhouettes stood in front of her. 

"Tom? Is that you"

   The man in the middle moved towards her. "I am glad you came, Eva. I knew that i could trust you."

"Tom! Hi! You were right about Freyja. '

"I am always right about everything. I hope you don't mind that Malfoy, Lestrange and Black joined us tonight..."

"No, it's okay."

"Come a step closer, Eva. I want to show you something."

  Eva made few steps and now she was just a few inches in front of Tom.

"Are you sure you want to join us ?"

"Absoloutely!"

"Wonderfull"

Tom's face, warm smile was replaced by his regular emotionless look. The three boys hold Eva. Lestrange was holding her waist, Black had covered her mouth with a cloth and Malfoy hold her arm. Tom rolled her sleeve up and took his wand out of his pocket. He pointed it at the young girl's arm. She was terrified. She kept moving, trying to leave, but Lestrange strong grip held her in place. "Mosmorde" Her arm started burning. Her screams were muffled with the cloth.

"Don't worry, in about a minute or so, you wont feel it."

   The girl looked at her arm. Tom was right, it wasn't burning anymore. But the thought of having a snake in your arm was terrifying itself
