Lorenzo and I have been friends for as long as I can remember.

We rode our brooms together, ran around the playground together, lived together from ages of 4 - 7, and when he was in trouble I was right there with him.

He always defended me when people were mean to me and I was also the first one to defend his name under any circumstances.

He really is a sweetheart.

In the third year at Hogwarts boys starting liking girls and vice versa, but me and Enzo never thought of each other that way.

We're in the 6th year now and even though we have our own friend groups now, we will always be each others number one.

When I say I love him, it's often taken out of context but I never mean it in a romantic way.

"I'll take that, thank you." Lorenzo slyly took my card away and stuffed it in his pocket.

I had received a chocolate frog from professor slughorn because I had the highest mark on a recent test.

I waved the little frog goodbye as it hopped away, and lorenzo was still justifying why he should keep the card.

"Because I don't have bertie bott yet-"

"But neither do i!"

"Well it's not like you collect them!"

"Fine, you can keep it, but you owe me a chocolate frog."

"Deal."

We chatted about silly nothings as we walked back to the common room.

"Okay, bye then. And send the answers over!" He waved bye as he walked back to his friends, who were shamelessly judging me with their stare, making me raise a brow at them.

"Will do!"

Talking about his friends, I will mention that I'm not a fan. Of any of them. I've obviously never mentioned this to Lorenzo because I should trust his judgement.

They didn't really do anything bad to me, but I'm an observer. they catcall girls, they get bad grades, they skip classes, they've even hit on me before.

And they were such a bad influence on Lorenzo. I mean, the once study freak was asking me for answers to homework he could do with his eyes shut.

"Y/n??" One of my friends snapped their fingers in my face and I zoned back in.

"Hm?"

It's best to forget other peoples choice of friends anyway. But if anything happens to Rnzo involving those boys, i

-

DADA. The only lesson that makes me wanna actually perform a dark art. On myself.

And worse, it was going to have to be my number one focus for the next week. and even worse, a partnered project was the reason.

"Y/n and... blaise!"

My crossed fingers soften and i made a disgusted face to Pansy, who was also crossing her fingers for us to be together.

Blaise looked just as unhappy as I did, and when he whispered something to Theodore and laughed while looking directly at me, I subconsciously tied my robe tighter and slung it over my legs.

After class ended, I planned to talk to Blaise a little but he was already out of the door before I had even picked my bag up to put my stuff back.

And so was Wnzo.

I went up to snape, fiddling with my fingers. "Hey, professor... is there any way that my partner could be... modified?"

He stared at me for a good 20 seconds with an eyebrow raised before saying, "Why would you want that? I don't recall Blaise upsetting you."

"Well, I just don't feel comfortable with his... ability and professionalism to complete the assignment."

"That's exactly why theres two people. You can help him."

Yeah, that would not be happening in any universe but I knew better than to answer.

Nodding, I walked out and found Enzo waiting on the other side of the door with a smile.

I grinned and he gestured his head for us to walk together. As we walked and talked about recent events, I could tell he wanted to say something.

"What's up with you today? Did I do something?" He was quick to shake his head and i was relieved.

"Y/n, I know you and I can tell that you don't like Blaise. I can guess why and I promise that nothings happening to me. I just want you to give him a chance; he's a nice guy."

"Right." I pursed my lips as I nodded and quickly changed the subject.

There was something deeper to my dislike to Enzo's friend group. I couldn't tell what.

We arrived at my dorm and I slumped down on my bed, patting the side for enzo to sit.

He did and i smiled.

"I can't stay for long, by the way, I have to go soon anyway. In about half an hour."

"Oh, okay."

I was looking forward to finally spending some time with my best friend. We hadn't hung out for a while now and I missed him.

I put on a film for us to watch and he asked me what time it was almost every five minutes. I didn't ask where he was going.

After a while, he stopped asking, and so i looked over at him. He was sleeping. I giggled and took a picture to tease him about later.

My giggling quickly died down when i started analizing his face.

Even when closed, I could remember his hazel eyes, the small freckles, the plump lips, his eyelashes could make a girl cry, his nose was just perfect and his hair was like silk.

The way those eyes looked into mine when he promised he wouldn't push me too high on the swings as a kid.

The small freckles that he was once insecure of until I used eyeliner to draw on them and make him love them.

The lips that smiled whenever someone mentions our inside joke - rabbits. You wouldn't understand.

The nose that used to sniff about 10 bottles of perfume at once when I wanted him to help me pick one.

The hair that I still cut to this day about twice a month - or when he remembers, anyway.

But I saw him for more than his face or physical features. I saw Enzo : the one that hates reality shows, the one that has trauma from his broom, the one that loves birds; robins especially.

I could go on for ages.

I genuinely love him. So fucking much.

Romantically. I really wanted him to know but the fear of losing the connection that tied us together was
stronger.

Because if i ever lose him that will be the day i lose myself too. He is my whole world.

You drive me crazy, Lorenzo.

-

It's been a few weeks since the project and it went fine, a lot of arguing between me and Blaise but it's okay.

He still teases me infront of everyone though. And, no, he doesn't tease me because he's in love with me, he does it to be mean.

I take a breath before walking past him and his little group. There's a lot of people here and i look down.

"Oh, look, the girl that probably sucked Berkshires dick and thinks he's her best friend!"

I look over at them and Lorenzo is mid-laugh. He didn't even say anything and my heart breaks into a million pieces.

Enzo catches my glance and his eyes barely apologise but that will not make up for shit.

Ehat happened to my Enzo?

Blaise has teased me about being dumb, bad handwriting, how my uniform looks on me and stuff but hes never said something like that.

"Why the fuck would you say that?" I walk over to blaise and his laughter dies.

I've never stood up for myself before and I see lorenzo shake his head in protest when I do.

"No, lorenzo! What the fuck is your problem, too? Just laughing there? Rre you fucking kidding? I thought better of you, it's like i don't even know you anymore!"

Lorenzo is looking everywhere but my eyes and the way he's still smirking with a brunette next to him makes me sick.

"Calm down, you slut. Mad because its true?" Blaise speaks up and I try to speak but only a few croaks come out.

I only realise im crying when Pansy drags me away, slapping blaise across the face.

It all happened so fast.

Everyone around us is silent and giving me sympathetic looks. I knew almost everyone so I wasnt worried about being judged but damn.

I miss my best friend.

I miss when he would tell people that I'm not dumb and he was confused aswell in potions class.

I miss when he would patch up my wrist when i fell of my broom.

Maybe im being dramatic. No you're not, Y/n.

Lorenzo's changed for the worse and its because of those cunts. I've never wanted anything more than to be a kid again and feel Lorenzo's love.

I havent felt anything from him in ages.

The scene of him laughing at me when blaise called me a slut and suggested that I was doing... things with Lorenzo kept playing in my mind.

He laughed at me.
