The sound of someone scrubbing the floor woke Estelle early in the morning. Her back hurt from laying on the ground the whole night. She looked around puzzled and saw that house-elfs were cleaning up the room of requirements and she immediately felt bad for the mess they had caused yesterday. She stood up carefully and pulled her dress back into place. After doing so, she turned to her right and saw Regulus, who was still asleep. His long black curls hung into his face messily, she couldn't help herself but stroke his hair back cautiously. She had never noticed that he had a few soft freckles around his cheekbones. A silent scoff left her lips, while she shook her head and pulled her hand away quickly, as if she had burned herself, before rapidly leaving through the entrance. 
                          
She tried to push everything that has happened in the past night into the very back of her head. Pushing it down as far as she could. Telling Regulus about her being scared of the dark was one of the stupidest things she could've done. He would never let her forget that she cried and make fun of her for that infinitely. Her head was throbbing and she started to feel really sick. The protest of her stomach against the sudden change of position was something she couldn't ignore any longer. Her vision started to blur and she quickly ducked behind a vase, where she had to threw up. 
                          
"Estelle!" A loud and clear voice called for her. When she turned around wiping her mouth, she saw Ophelias black curls bouncing up and down, while she was approaching her. Ophelia shared the same dorm with Estelle and Nesrin, but they never spend a lot of time together, besides some classes. 
                          
"I forgot to ask you yesterday, but- First of all you looked amazing. What I was going to ask is- I hope this doesn't come of the wrong way, since we don't spend much time together, so please don't think that I'm only using you or anything like that."
                          
She twisted one of her curls around her index finger and pulled it longer while speaking, continuously shifting her weight from one leg to the other. 
                          
"Could you, maybe sell me something. You know?"
                          
Estelle gave her a soft smile and wondered why she had 
been so afraid to ask her. It wasn't exactly a secret that she sold weed. 
                          
"I don't have anything on me right now, but I'm going to the dorm anyway right now, you can join."
                          
"Yeah, totally. Thank you so much."
                          
A house-elf carefully pulled on Regulus shirt to wake him up as well shortly after. 
                          
"Mister has to go now, to not miss his last classes."
                          
He looked around confused and touched the space next to him as if he would expect Estelle to still be laying there. 
                          
"The Miss, left earlier."
                          
He gave a short nod and immediately left towards the potions classroom. He had checked his watch and saw, that there was no time for him to go get breakfast or change into prober robes, if he didn't want to be extremely late. The events of last night were slowly starting to come together again. He must've been pretty wasted by the end of the night. Otherwise he couldn't explain to himself as to why he had such a sudden urge of possessiveness towards Estelle. He didn't even like her. When he was just about to turn the corner, he saw a girl with bright blonde hair in front of him and could identify her as Estelle shortly after. 
                          
"I would've never thought you were the type to sneak away after spending the night together."
                          
"Shut it, Black."
                          
Estelle said without turning around to him. A sly smirk crept onto his lips, when he quickened his steps a bit more and was now next to her. She wore her hair in a long ponytail and concealed the hickey with a pretty simple glamour charm, but not very successfully, since you could still see a slight shadow, if you looked closely. He also realized, that she wore her normal robes, so she must've been to the common room already.
