Chapter 10

Trust. Betrayal. Lust. Conspiracy. Melancholy. Deceitfulness.

What was the world coming into? People gain friends but then lose them along the way. People get comrades but then they get washed up or killed. Nothing was simple. Nothing was just.

I remembered back when I was younger, when kids were just free. Have you ever had that enormous healthy feeling? The time where you get to be friends with someone and not pressure you? The time when you can run around and feel the wind on your face and not get punished over? And the time when people hug you because you’re crying?

When did that all go away?

I made a big mistake and I’ve learned from it. Things this year didn’t turn out the way I wanted them but I got to see different sides of people. I met new people, gained some enemies, gained some lessons. But there was something about this year that made me smile despite the fact of what happened to me………………HARRY.

He and I haven’t been talking to each other since the incident and so as the whole DA. To tell the truth, I was more of an outcast this year. No one talked to me. No one cared. Once I was popular girl. The girl with many friends. The girl who dated the most amazing guy in school. The girl who is a great Quidditch player. And with a blink of an eye, those things just disappeared to me like smoke.

I tried apologizing to them, I swear I did but somehow they can’t find it in their hearts yet to do so. I’m not rushing into this. I’m not forcing them to forgive me. I’m just hoping that in due time… they will.

The following month, it seems that all went back into place. Umbridge is no longer the Head Mistress and the rules of the school were back to normal. Dumbledore was back to his position and Hogwarts was safe from that filthy pink ball. Yes, we were already safe from Umbridge but a new terror is back…

Lord Voldemort is back.

The Daily Prophet says it all. How Lord Voldemort was found at the Ministry by Fudge and some other Hogwarts students were there as witness. I didn’t know much of the details to this news but everyone seemed to talk about it. Eavesdropping is not even a word to describe it since everyone kept talking and talking about it. I swear some of them were just too unrealistic as well, completely failed rumors.

I wanted to see Harry just to see how he was nowadays. I haven’t seen him in awhile nor talked to him in awhile. Days just got really fast that I think I might not be able to talk to him any longer. Quite frankly, I missed him. I missed how he made me special. How he makes me laugh but at the same time sad. Harry comforted me a lot, helped me overcome my fears about Cedric. He always thought that I had been sober but all this time I was living in my own fairytale. My own Cedric delusion, something that my mind created. Stupid!

I had one last stop at the lake before going home. What was it about this place that made me feel so at ease despite the stuffs that happened to me this term? Was it because this place felt so quiet that my thoughts could just overflow? Yes, probably that was one of the many reasons why I’m always fond of going here.

Maybe this year wasn’t for me. Everything just felt completely down and very disappointing. I didn’t quite start it right like I was suppose to or probably I did but along the way I stumbled and fell. My pride was tested and look at me now? I’m wrecked.

It’ll take time for me to finally go back from the Cho Chang I really know. It may not be tomorrow or next month but I am sure, somewhere along my path I will finally get over the drama and surpass the issues I have.

I looked at the ripples of water and saw my reflection.
I smiled.
See you next term Hogwarts.
