The next morning I woke up with a bad headache, I couldn’t think. I took a shower and got soap in my eyes and I could still feel it when I went down to breakfast. I sat down next to Mattheo and rested my head on his shoulder, I didn’t eat. 

“How are you feeling?” Mattheo asked

“Like I have a headache and my eyes are burning cuz I got soap in them” I bleakly stated

“Well your hair smells good” He commented “You should eat” He gestured to my plate

“I don’t feel like it” 

“Well how would you feel about coming to a Slytherin party on friday, take your mind off things” Enzo suggested “Not that I would be there, I just heard it around” 

“I don’t know, I don’t think going to a party would make my problems go away, but I’ll go if you and Theo are going” I looked at Mattheo then at Theodore

“If you go, I will be there” Mattheo replied 

“I will be there as well” Theodore added

“Then I will be there” I answered finally

The day passed by without anything really happening. I was in my dorm, doing homework at my desk when I heard the voice again. I went to the bathroom to get some water and looked at my face in the mirror. My eyes were flicking between black and hazel, then everything went black and I could feel my head hitting the tiled ground. 

I woke up a couple hours later but I was lying on my balcony, what had happened, did someone move me here? I apparated to Mattheo’s dorm to see if he was up. He was laying on his bed, his sketchbook open. He closed it then looked up at me. “Y/n, is everything ok?” He asked

“When was the last time you saw me?” 

He tilted his head and a look of confusion filled his face “What do you mean? I saw you at dinner last, didn’t you?” 

“Yeah, I was just wondering” I looked down at the floor. He came over and put a hand on my shoulder.

He lifted my head to look into his eyes “Hey” He said softly “What’s going on?” 

I started pacing “So around 10pm (22:00) I was doing homework at my desk and I started hearing the voice again. I went to the bathroom and grabbed some water but when I looked in the mirror my eyes were flicking between black and hazel, then everything went black. When I woke up, a few minutes ago I was lying on my balcony. I have no memory of what happened from around 10pm (22:00)  to now, which is 2 in the morning” I stopped pacing and looked at Mattheo “What is going on?” 

His eyes suddenly shifted to look down to my right arm, I looked down at my arm and saw blood dripping down my arm. Mattheo came close to me then grabbed my right wrist then pulled up my sleeve to reveal a cut through most of my forehand “Did you do this?” He asked

“No, no I swear I didn’t” I looked away “I swear” 

“I believe you” He went to the bathroom and grabbed a towel then cleaned it and healed it “All the blood is gone” I looked back at my arm and now it was just a scar. 

“Uhh, do you mind if I stay here for the rest of the night? I don’t want to be alone” 

“Sure, I’m kinda lonely anyway. You can stay whenever you like though you probably should always be with someone in case this happens again” 

“Thank you brother” 

“No problem sister” 

I smiled then went over to my bed and got under the sheets. Mattheo turned off the light and I fell asleep quickly. 

I woke up and Mattheo wasn’t in the room. I looked at the clock and realized I had missed breakfast, I wasn’t going to bother going to my first period, I was too tired and the class was boring anyway. I was just about to go back to sleep when Mattheo came in and gave me toast and a apple “Thought I would let you sleep in” He smiled

“Thank you” I smiled “Whatever did I do to deserve brothers like you?”

“And what did I do to deserve an angle for a sister”

“I’m no angel, I’ll tell you that” I laughed 

“No, you are skipping first period” He pointed out

“Oh be quiet, so are you”

“I know” 

“Hey I know this may sound like an odd request but can you teach me like hand-to-hand fighting?” 

“What for, You want to get into fights?”

“I don’t actively look for fights to get into but I want to know how to fight without any powers if it becomes necessary, you know?”

“Sure, I guess, why not. When do you want to start?” 

“I mean, I’m not doing anything now” I shrugged 

“Where would we do it?” 

I grabbed his hand and apparated us back to my room back home. I put a silencing spell on the room and locked the doors “Will this work” 

He looked around. “Sure, why not?” 

“Ok, so like what do I do?” 

“How about you just try to fight me first? If I am going to teach you, first you need to be able to hurt me, I promise I will be fine, I always will be. We will see how good you are already” 

“I will probably be terrible” 

He shrugged “Try, you might surprise yourself” 

“You start” I suggested

He tried to punch me in the face but I moved out of the way and grabbed his arm, I twisted it and kicked him in the stomach. He grabbed my wrist as he fell down until I was on the floor with him pinning me to the ground “What are you going to do now?” I kneed him and then pushed him off of me towards the wall “Sorry” I said quickly. I got up and pushed him up against the wall. I let him go “I’m so sorry” 

“I’m completely fine” He said, hiding his pain “That was decent, but there’s still a lot left to learn” 

For the next hour he taught me about fighting then we went back to Hogwarts and he showered before we went to lunch. “Where have you been all morning?” Theodore asked me when Mattheo and I showed up for lunch. 

“I slept in then Mattheo was teaching me some stuff” I explained

“What kind of stuff?” Enzo asked 

“Like hand-to-hand fighting, you know, fighting without magic” 

“You become more like Mattheo every single day. When you first came here you were like an equal amount of both your brothers but I would say you were more like Thomas, now your more like Mattheo” 

“Well that's what happens when when you hang out with Mattheo and his friends, also Thomas wasn’t really there for the first part of last year but Mattheo was still there soooo, It makes sense” 

The rest of the week passed by fast. I only heard the voice once on Thursday and nothing really happened. Today was Friday, the day of the Slythern’s party. I got through my classes then after dinner I went back to my dorm and got ready. I wore a black, long sleeved dress with a skirt that went just past my knees. I put on tights and put on the holster with my dagger on then my balck heeled boots. I did my hair and make up then went to Mattheo’s dorm.
