"We think it's your engagement." her brother's voice kept spinning around her head, she didn't want to believe it. She wasn't even fifteen yet, she couldn't get engaged.
"Aries, you're not even listening to me." Dorcas interrupted her thoughts.
"Huh?" Aries looked up at her.
"I'm trying to tell you how amazing my date was and you're not even interested."
"No I am... I just have a few things on my mind." Aries said.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Dorcas asked, growing concerned.
"No, no, I'm gonna go for a walk." Aries shook her head, getting up from her bed.
"But it's after curfew."
"I won't get caught." she said, she opened her drawer and took out her sketchbook, she picked up one of her blankets off her bed.
"Do you want me to come with you?"
Aries shook her head. "No, no it's alright."
She walked down the steps off the dorms walking past the fifth years getting in last minute studies before their mocks. She slipped out of the common room and walked up the steps towards the boat house.
The air was chilly, a shiver ran through her body as she sat by the water, despite it being spring it still felt as though it was the dead of winter.
She opened her sketchbook to continue her sketch, she only had one pencil which she had stolen from Benjy at the beginning of the year. Using a quill wasn't the same as a pencil but she knew she couldn't get some because her parents wouldn't approve of using muggle tools, when she was a witch.
The wind echoed, she thought she could hear footsteps behind her but she knew it was just the boat house creaking. The boats banged against each other causing her to jump slightly.
As she pressed down on the page a voice startled her and the lead broke.
"I didn't know you could draw- oh my gosh, I didn't mean to scare you!" Peter gasped as Aries let out a scream.
"Peter! What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry! It's just I saw you on the map, and I was wondering why you were out after curfew so I followed you out here to make sure you were okay." he said scratching his neck.
"I just came here to get a breath of fresh air." she said.
Peter sat down next to her. "Sirius told us about the engagement."
Aries nodded. "There is a one in three chance that it's mine, but he seems to think it is." she sighed. "Just to keep the bloodline pure."
"You might like the guy." Peter said.
"Not if he's a pureblood maniac like my parents." Aries ran her fingers through her hair. "I always knew they'd force me to get married but I thought I'd have a little more time."
