Bound By Mischief

3rd Year at Hogwarts

It was another school year at Hogwarts and I got to see Regulus,Evan,Dorcas and Pandora again. Despite all arguments with my father at home they always managed to cheer me up. Me and my father never fully understood each other and he was always dissatisfied with everything I did. But whenever me and Dad had fights Evan would always let me go to his house. Evan was like my soulmate and sometimes I would think I liked him romantically but it was impossible I did not like boys I'm straight I kept telling myself. I was sitting on the couch in Slytherins common room when I heard someone calling my name.

-Barty,Barty crouch Jr are you there?
It was Regulus I hadn't even noticed he called my name at first.

- Oh yeah sorry, what is it?

I answered a bit embarrassed I didn't noticed he called my name.

- You seem off are you fine man.

- Ye just thinking.

- Thinking about what?
He asked me I didn't wanna tell him what I was thinking off cuz I knew he and the others would worry and maybe see me as Weak.

- Oh it's nothing forget about it.

- Okay if you say so.
Regulus answered knowing something was off but not wanting to push it further.
Time passed and before I knew it it was Dinner.
I wasn't really that hungry but I decided to eat a little bit anyways. As I was sitting in great hall eating I overheard some Ravenclaws talking about my father saying he is a good man it was painful to listen to know the fact that he screams at me every chance he gets and makes me feel like a disappointment.

- So how were your guys summer break?

Pandora asked trying to make a conversation
While I was thinking of what to say I heard Evan's voice and instantly started listening

- Well I played Quidditch with my father most of the time.
Evan said talking about how his summer break was.
As he was talking I was just sitting there admiring his voice it felt like listening to a bird singing and watching him with his gorgeous blue eyes and blonde hair. After dinner I went to my dorm to go to bed. As I was trying to sleep I could not help but to cry. People saw my father as this great man but they never knew how he was behind curtains they did not know how it was getting cruciatus curse for minor mistakes. As I was crying I heard a knock,I quickly wiped away my tears and opened the there.

- Hi, I thought I heard someone crying.

Dorcas said as she entered my dorm.

- Oh, don't worry I was just practicing my fake crying for whenever i want someone to feel bad.

I said lying she couldn't find out I was actually crying I would seem weak.

- Okay if you say so I guess.

- Yeah, Goodnight Dorcas.

- Goodnight Crouch.

As she left my dorm I went to my bed again and held back tears until I fell asleep.
