New day. Fresh start.
It was a Tuesday. My favourite day of the week. Things away seemed to go right on a Tuesday so I hoped that everything was better then yesterday.
First lesson was Potions and by what everyone says this lesson is pretty hard.
~*~
We were all seated in our new seating plan and I was seated by a small boy from Ravenclaw, he seemed shy since he didn't say anything to me. He was probably just intimidated by my house and was probably scared of what I was going to say.
The lesson seemed to go by pretty quickly and it was already halfway through the lesson. All of a sudden the door slowly opened and everyone turned there heads to see who was at the door. Dumbledore walks in and everyone eyes widened he slowly makes his way to where I'm sitting, at the point in time I didn't think he was going to come up to me so I turned back around to the front of the classroom.
I felt a tap on my shoulder "Miss Mikaelson please make your way out the classroom and follow me into the coriander's I would like a word with you"
I could feel everyone's eyes on me which made me feel anxious "Uh ok" I replied to Dumbledore in confusion. He never asked pupils to talk to him unless it was necessary.
I stood up carefully already feeling my legs being weak and shaky from nerves. Following Dumbledore outside the classroom I nervously bit the side of my cheek.
As we got into the corridor Dumbledore turned around to look at me "we need to talk" there was an awkward pause and his face was serious which made my heart beat faster "about you and your family"
My heart in my chest dropped. I felt my palms getting sweaty and It felt like the walls were closing in on me. The last thing I wanted to do was bring up my family.
"I know about everything." Dumbledore confessed while putting his hand on my shoulder. "It's alright, Lilith. Your secret is safe with me, I once knew your farther and I know what he is like."
Before he could even finish his sentence I could feel a tear roll down my cheek. I wanted run back to my dorm and cry it out.
"Hey, don't cry. It's good that I know, I can help you. You need blood bags? I will get you some. Need help to control? I will help you. Only on one condition. You must not harm anyone at this school."
How could I trust him? I know he is the head master but who would want to help me? A hybrid. I'm dangerous, Bedsides I'm Slytherin and everyone knows Dumbledore favourites the Gryffindors.
"Ok we are done here. If you need me you know where to find me, Miss Mikaelson." Dumbledore turned around and walked rapidly to the end of the corridor and took a left.
I didn't know whether I wanted to go back to my dorm or go back in class. I already missed basically a whole day yesterday and it was only the second day. I didn't want to go into class right away as I could feel my eyes were puffy from crying so I decided to sit down somewhere to process what just happened.
I spent 10 minutes sitting down and trying to think of everything. My heart rate was starting to go back to normal along with my puffy eyes, I got up steadily so my knees would not give way I was about to make my way back to class but then I heard someone shout my name from behind me.
"Lilith! Wait up!"
I turn my head slightly to see Draco Malfoy pacing towards me. His hands in his pockets and a stern facial expression.
"What do you want Malfoy?"
"Are you alright? I heard Dumbledore took you out of lesson and you look like you have been crying."
Why would he care? He didn't care about anyone, except himself. "I'm fine, Anyways why would u care?"
"I don't." An awkward tension fulled the air, he brushed his hand through his hair and let out a sigh.
"Oh, w-well I should be going then" nervously tucking my hair behind my ear.
I turned around halfway until Draco grabbed my arm and said "I over heard something that Dumbledore said." My heart beat sped up again. "I mean... I didn't hear it all I only heard him saying he can help you. What does he mean? What do you need help with?" Draco looked at me with an intrigued look on his face and a smirk.
"Nothing, none of your business Malfoy" I snapped while releasing my arm from his grip and turning around heading back to class.
"I will find out Mikeason!" Draco shouted to me as I turned the corner.
I re-entered the class room and everyone's eyes locked on me. I walked over to my table keeping my eyes on the floor trying not to meet anyone else's eye contact. The rest of the lesson I kept repeating what he said to me "I will find out Mikaelson!" This day could not get any worse and it was only first class. Tuesdays are no longer a good day.

It's been a 4 days in Hogwarts and everything is starting to feel normal. Draco has not found anything out he has not even said anything to me since we last encountered. I have been going to Dumbledore's office every once in a while to get a blood bag or two. If everything stays like this I think everything will turn out for the best after all.
On my way to last lesson on the Friday Pansy told me to wait for her as she said she had something exiting to tell me. While walking to herbology Pansy started to get all exited about some party happening later on at the Gryffindor common room, I tried my best to look exited but to be honest her conversation was very boring. "...and a few other slytherin are going to try and sneak in. Want to come with us?" My concentration was no longer on her so I barely listen to a word she said.
"What? Sorry I didn't hear you at the end."
"Want to come to a party with me and a few other slytherin' later?" Pansy repeated with a huge smile on her face.
"U-uh yh sure" I never gone to a party before so I wasn't sure what to expect but agreed anyway because a party sounded a good way to relax after a stressful week.

"Late again, Mr Malfoy." Professor Sprout glared at Malfoy while walking into the class.
"Ye I am, pointing out the obvious there Professor" he replied starkly.
"Mmh, go stand next to Zabini"
He gave Professor Sprout an icy glare before making his way over to Zabini. I was trying my best not to look his way since this would be the first time seeing him since our last encounter, as much as I tired to concentrate all I could think about was him.
"...does everyone understand what we have to do?" Professor Sprout spoke out.
This whole of the class nodded while I have not been paying attention to Professor Sprout instead I have been thinking about Malfoy.
"Pansy, what we doing?" I tried to keep my voice down.
"Not listening were you, Mikaelson?" A sarcastic comment came from Malfoy's mouth. Sending him a small argent smirk I chose to ignore him.
"So? What we doing?" I repeated to Pansy.
"Oh right, we are doing something with... uh... vervain... I think that's what she said." Pansy scratched her head trying to remember.
Vervain is a potent herb and is another vampire's well-known weakness. If a vampire makes physical contact with vervain in any form, it will burn them. This can't be happening last lesson on a Friday.
"Hello? Lilith?" Pansy shock my shoulders to get me back in focus. "You alright? You went into a day dream." I nodded politely while making my way to get gloves, I didn't want to leave the lesson I want to see if I could get through this.
10 minutes to the end of the lesson everything was going fine and I generally thought Everything was going right for once. Everyone started to pack up so I started to take of my gloves and help.
"You're so bad at tidying up, Mikaelson. You missed a bit of vervain." Draco looked at me dead in the eye while leaning his hand out across the table to hand me the vervain to me.
Without thinking I put out my hand to grab the vervain. He kept eye contact with me while he placed the herb on my hand. I let out a huge gasp and stepped back letting the herb fall back onto the table. How could I have been so stupid? It felt like he had control over me. I was enticed by him. I clinched my hands together so no one would have seen the burn Mark left on my hand, I could see people's heads turn to look at me in the corner of my eye.
"What's wrong with you now?" Draco continued to keep looking at me in the eyes, he let out a sigh, rolled his eyes "guess I will do it my self then."
"Y-you gave me an electric shock. That's all." I lied.
Draco let out a small chuckle before turning around on his heal to put the vervain back.
The bell finally rang after a long and boring 7 minutes of waiting. Although this class may not have been the best and I almost got caught of my secret, at least I still had the party to look forward to.
