Josiah's POV

DAY 21 AT HOGWARTS

I was hanging outside of the field with my friends Christine and Jai. We were behind the stadium and can hear the coaches yelling at the players. They wanted to tag along after hearing about what happen with me and Vengeance. They told me about how Vengeance helped them out during physical education. She became their personal teacher.

"Dude you're so lucky to get with her!" Christine explained.

Grace nodded and over to my left I see Vengeance with her Quidditch uniform on. She had a duffle bag hanging from her shoulder, and looked washed out. She had her broomstick on one hand. She ran to me after she saw me hanging out in the back of the stadium.

"Hey Josiah!!!" Vengeance smiled at me.

"Hello!" I said back.

Christine and Grace left to go back to the library, so it was left with only Vengeance and I. I asked her what she wanted to do and said that she wanted to hang out in The Great Hall.

When we entered we placed out book bags on the tables, and sat down next to each other. I felt my heart flutter looking into Vengeance eyes. She was known for her pretty hazel eyes.

She styled her hair into a messy ponytail and was wearing a purple scrunchie. She had freckly skin all over herself. She had dirt on her grey sneakers, white shirt, and red shorts. She looked at me with her hazel eyes, and smiled.

"Sorry if my horns poke you, usually happens when I'm too close to people," She frowned.

"No, need to say sorry!" I said

She sighed and put her hair down. Her hair was plopped down to a flow of brown down her back. Her hair bounced, and she looked at my eyes.

"I don't think I've ever told you this Josiah, but I'm so in love with you..." She leaned close.

She leaned closer and closer to me. She placed her lips on mine, and I felt myself-

*RING*

The bell rung to indicate that class was over. I caught myself day dreaming about Vengeance again. I quickly placed my books into my bag, and dashed out of the door. I shook my head in attempt to get her out of my mind. Today was the day we hang out again.

I went to my locker, and to my surprise I see Vengeance waiting. She leaned against the lockers, but when she saw me, she walked closer to me. I said 'Hi' to her, and said the same back.

"Hey Josiah! I just wanted to say thank you for helping me with Chemistry," Vengeance smiled.

"No problem!" I grinned at her again.

I offered her to walk with her to her classes. It wasn't far from mine, so I wasn't going to be late.

Dante's POV

I wrapped my arms around Grace. Everyone looked at us with a weird glance, but I hoped they don't question anything else about Weeknd. Grace has been my fake girlfriend for only a day now, and It seems like it working as plan. Everyone was telling us Grace and I where so cute together. We even had the courage to kiss in front of others, but felt weird since it wasn't the same as Weeknd's.

I always finding myself thinking about Weeknd, but we haven't been hanging out recently. It's because I'm so busy with Grace, and making sure people don't question my sexuality. I still sit next to him during lunch, but I always had Grace with me.

The only time we get to spend alone together is 3am at night in the common room. We had to talk quietly so no one will wakeup. We sometimes sneak into The Great Hall to get really affectionate. I wished this isn't the way things turned out for our relationship to be.

I was going to hang out with Weeknd again after school. I was getting emotionally starved, and needed his company again. I just don't like the fact that he dipped after I confronted him about the news.

I walked Grace to her chemistry class, and I walked to Hagrid's garden.

I went to Hagrid's garden again by myself. I saw Weeknd alone smoking a cigarette on a wooden bench. I wanted to skip my class since I have so much on my mind. I wanted to be by myself, but I can let myself vent to Weeknd.

"Dante skipping?" The Weeknd was shocked.

"Yeah," I sat down next to him.

"It feels weird fake dating Grace. I don't like her in that way, but I feel so bad since I'm using her..." I wandered off with my words.

I cried and sobbed dearly. I was so emotionally confused. I wanted to keep my identity a secret, but I also wanted to be with him all the time. I am so confused on what I wanted.

I felt a warm hand rubbing my back, and felt more better. I rested my head on his shoulder again, and took a puff out of his cigarette. It send ease down my shoulders and I felt better. I knew smoking was bad, but I needed something to take my mind off anyways.

I felt like Weeknd might be a terrible influence against me, but I wanted something more with him. I wanted to be like the bad kid for him, and I wanted to impress him as many ways as I can. I wanted something more.

Josiah's POV

I was extremely nervous about the hang out, especially after the weird dream I had about Vengeance.

I was patiently waiting for her outside of the stadium from practice. I heard swooshes and saw multiple people on the air with their broomsticks. Practice was about to be over in 5 minuets, so I admire the view from the sky. I was trying to find her, but wasn't successful.

After 5 minuets of waiting, I see her walking out of the stadium. She had a plain grey shirt on with dirt all over, red shorts to represent her house Gryffindor, and black shoes beaten down. She had her broomstick on her hand, and a duffle bag on her shoulder. What ever she does make me feel butterflies in my stomach. She looked pretty without her usual country girl apparel.

"Hello Josiah!" She greeted me with a smile.

I waved back at her, and we walked to the Gryffindor tower. She needed to take a shower and change because she was running around everywhere.

After waiting for her to change outside of the tower. She came out with her hair dark brown from being wet. She changed into a purple shirt with blue overalls. She had her hair into a ponytail, and was wearing a purple scrunchie to match the outfit. She was wearing her new white adidas. I complimented her outfit to see if she would like it, and responded with her giggling and saying thank you.

We walked to The Great Hall. We took a seat on an empty table, and started to talk.

She talked about her team and how they where pretty supportive. She wouldn't trade anything else in the world to not be with them and enjoyed their company.

I fell for her eyes again.
