Elara's pov
Today i woke up first, why?
you might want to blame both of my best friends for staying late at night, as today was Sunday we had no classes for the day,
i rubbed my sore eyes and checked the time, it was 10:20, so i went to my cupboard and picked out a black skirt that fell above my knees, and took out a deep blue long sleeved shirt, black sheer tights, and a pair of black boots, i went to the bathroom and finished my morning routine, brushing and braiding my hair into two dutch braids, i got dressed and toped it off with a two lined silver necklace and diamond earrings,
Walking out i took out my wand slipping it in my boot and walked out of my dorm, not before noticing a green letter on my desk, i knew that it was from home, as my father always used green envelopes, plus my family's crest, i took it with me walking to the clock tower yard, noticing that only a few students were awake yet, and most of them were in the great hall,
Sitting down on the bench i opened the letter, i found three parchments which made my hand sweat, whenever my father wrote to me his letter would barley cover one parchment, asking me simple questions, which i assume he only wrote them because mother told him to, i lowered the letter in my lap taking a deep breath, my hands becoming sweaty, i took the first parchment and my heart stopped,
The first letter was an acceptance letter to Beauxbatons academy
I didn't know what to do, so i just lowered it and scrambled for the next parchment, one was from my father and the other from my mother,
Elara..
i've heard from an acquaintance if mine that you have been walking around shamelessly with muggle-borns and blood traitors, i though you knew the consequences of disobeying my orders, you will be leaving hogwarts tomorrow, i have arrangements made with the headmistress of Beauxbatons academy and you will be leaving for it in three days after you have your uniform made and supplies ready, i won't be hearing any objections.
i'll be arriving tomorrow morning at 6:30.

By the time i finished reading all the letters tears were clouding my vision, i leaned my head back blinking to prevent them from flowing down, the only person who ever saw me crying was my mother and that was a long time ago, i believed crying to be a weakness that you can only do behind closed doors, people who cry at every single thing is pathetic, especially those who cry at happy occasions like birthdays or weddings,
I was so angry i ripped my father's letter into two then ripped it again and again until it was in shreds, i took out my wand and casted a spell, burning the letters until they were no different from the dirt on the ground,
I knew i shouldn't have gone soft, it's all my fault, mudbloods don't deserve my kindness in exchange of my freedom, and it's all because of madi- Klark and Laine, they convinced my to change into someone i'm not, and perhaps all of this is true or maybe i'm just convincing myself that i'm not at fault, NO it's their fault for changing me!
I got up and ran to the dungeons, i stormed in stealing the attention of some slytherins who were on their way to breakfast, i ran up to my dorm to find both of the traitors ready to go,
"it's all your fault" i muttered glaring at them, and as Laine saw me she turned around,
"oh hey girl, what did you say?" she smiled blissfully unaware of the trouble they've put me through,
"IT'S YOUR FAULT!" i screamed at them, they both looked shocked staring at me with wide eyes as if they didn't know,
"elara, what are you-" madeli- klark asked
"oh you know exactly what is wrong, you run around with mudbloods and traitors! and then you inveigle me into doing it too! well guess what i'm leaving this pathetic school and i'm not coming back!"
I stormed out and ran to the owlery, i ran until my breathing was coming in and out violently, i leaned against the inside of the walls, listening to the owls chirp and fly around, i didn't know what to do, i didn't want to leave hogwarts, and i know that yelling at the only people who mattered to me was wrong, but i don't know what to do with myself,
Whoever told my father must be working at hogwarts, because that's the only place i've been to, unless...my date with Cedric.
He must have saw me at hogsmead, why can't the universe just let me be happy for once? i finally had the friends i always wished for, and i went on an amazing date with the boy i liked only to have it taken from me by a selfish person who couldn't keep what they saw to themselves, all it took for my life to change was a single letter, but not for the better.

later that night i went to my dorm to pack my stuff, i was leaving hogwarts for good this time, without the feeling of coming back for another year, by the time i was finished packing all if my stuff it was dinner time, and i didn't want to go the great hall, not wanting to face them, the ones who stood by me for almost three years, for me, not for my name or my riches, i really messed up, but i was never coming back here again, so i'm never going to see either of them for at least a very long time.
I sat alone at the corner of the slytherin table, not wanting to glance at the three faces of the people i cared about most, which two of them were deciding whether to come talk to me or give me some time, not knowing that i won't be here when they woke up the next morning, and one of the three sat at the hufflepuff table with his friends, his eyes wondering to me every few minutes noticing my lack of company, i quickly ate some mashed potatoes, even though i had no appetite at all, but i couldn't starve myself as i haven't ate anything today, i finished my food and left to the common room, i packed my clothes and books manually not having anything else to do, and just as i placed the last book inside my trunk Klark came in with a determent look on her face, i quickly picked up my laid out pajamas and went to the bathroom, i didn't want to talk to them, there either going to shout pack at me or ask me why i shouted, but i didn't want to face any of these outcomes, going out dressed for bed i found them huddled together on one of their beds whispering, and once they saw me they both stood up and tried to get my attention, but i threw myself on the bed, drew the curtains and tried to go to sleep as fast as possible,
"El, please talk to us, what happened" Klark tried to get a response from me, but i continued to ignore her, i heard them sigh and walk away each returning to their beds, i laid on my back and took a deep breath, i knew this was probably the last time we ever talked but i had nothing to say to them, after all it was their own fault that i was leaving hogwarts, but they weren't the only ones, Cedric also had a major part in inveigling me into messing around with people beneath me, i sneakily took out my magic diary and opened a new page amongst its golden pages, all the events of today transferring into its memories, then i shut it down and placed it back,
today was very interesting, i lost my school, my friends, and my... what are we, or rather what were we, i hoped that after a couple of dates we would become closer but i just lost the grey eyed brunette boy who had a chance at changing me forever, but not all dreams come true or in my case, no dreams ever come true
