𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 called us dreamers, but we're the ones who don't sleep. We stay awake, chasing our visions until they become reality.

Well, thats what most people do. Chase their dreams in hopes of it becoming reality.

Some lived under a fake name because they pleased to do so. I do too, but i have other reasons.

Persephone Black was my name.

I supposedly was names after the greek godess Persephone who married Hades the god of the underworld.

The disappointment my dad felt was passed down onto my name considering that every Black was named after a star.

I was named after a godess whose biggest mistake was that she fell in love with someone she wasn't supposed too.

Some orden members called me Percy to soften the punch into my gut. Then i came up with a new identity to hide myself from the crazy enemies of the black family.

One of them Bellatrix Lestrange herself. She was also a black, my dads cousin.

Yeah, me and that psycho were related but me and draco were also related which i actually appreciated in this insane family of magical mysteries.

Even though i had issues enough, i loved my friends Infinitely. There wasn't a way possible to me to survive without each and every of them.

Astoria is a kindred spirit, she was much to good for this world. Her calming and soothing presence made every small rip in my heart close itself.

Pansy is a firecracker, she's hot headed and she'll tell you her opinion wether you want to hear it or not, having a filter wasn't her thing.

Daphne is a a mix of both of the other girls. She was sweet and hot headed at once, her revenge was precise and cold hearted.

Blaise, the most forgotten of our group. He disappears in the dark depths of the school corridors, or wherever else he goes.

Enzo, he is probably the nicest and most honest male slytherin you could ever meet in your long time, he is sweet but that doesn't mean that he is innocent.

Theodore, he indeed is a mystery, no one knows what goes on in his honey brown haired stubborn head.

Draco, he hasn't been himself ever since the beginning of this year. well he was the same but also wasn't? if you know you know.

Then there's me.

Scarlett slash Persephone, what is there to know about me? im a orphan and only child, my magic is seemingly impossible to master and i adore every little piece of jewellery.

I pushed my body out of my soft bed as i stood up. My nap had went on for at least 3 hours according to the clock.

I rubbed my eyes yawning while walking over to the mirror, my make up sure as hell needed some touch ups considering that i looked like shit.

My gaze met the closet in the room corner which belonged to me. I stepper over to it opening it to look for a dress.

yeah, nada.

I didn't have enough time to go dress shopping at hogsmeade, do i? It was 5 p.m and i still had over than 3 hours even though it wasn't that much i didn't really have a choice in the matter.

On a paper which lied on the desk i wrote that i was at hogsmeade and i would be back soon, if you believe that then good for you.

No one was here, the three girls where off to do god knows what and after i stormed out of the hall they probably thought i would need some alone time.

well, i did.

Nevertheless i took my bag with my necessities after changing into something more comfortable than my crumpled school uniform.

My outfit was simple, i wore a white off shoulder top with a black skirt, under the skirts i wore tights and above them a pair of shorts.

I finished my outfits off by putting on my beloved mary janes. With a wave of my wand my hair was formed into waves which fell down my back.

After taking longer than expected to get ready, i finally leave and take off to hogsmeade.

========

My heals clacked as i walked on the small street in between the stores, it wasn't as warm as i expected it to be for a september after noon.

I still hadn't found a dress as i passed another store. This was the last one and as i entered i heard familiar laughters.

what were my best friends doing here?

Like the entire friend group was here but me.

Well, Draco, Mattheo and Theodore weren't here either but me as another girl in the group wasn't invited? what the hell.

I know i shouldn't feel this anger but it was here. They came here without even inviting me, i was pissed off and i made my way out of the store without them noticing me.

My steps dragged me elsewhere and the next i know is that i pump into a chest. "Scarlett?" Draco says clearly surprised to see me here.

"Dray?"

It was silent for a few seconds right before a curly haired brunette appeared right next to them.

"Draco, we have to-"

He stopped his sentence as he noticed i was there. I glared at him as i didn't know what to say.

"Why aren't you with the others?" his gaze narrowed as he asked me this.

I crossed my arms, assuming he knew that they decided not to invite me. "They didn't invite me." i grumbled being even more pissed when i realised that this wasn't some shitty dream of mine as i pinched myself just to make sure this was actually real and happening.

"What do you mean?" draco now says a bit taken a back. Right before i could answer my so thought friends appear right behind me.

Their expressions paling as they saw me here, i will murder them. My thoughts were running as i turned around glaring at each of them.

they weren't worth it. they weren't worth it. they weren't worth it. they weren't worth it.

but what if they are and you just aren't?

My head spun as i heard the side effects of dark magic pulling me into his hole. I closed my eyes looking on the ground trying not to look weak.

The next second i felt a hand on my shoulder, i could've guessed it was anyone but him.

But it was him.

He softly pulled me away from the group, the next thing im feeling is the nauseous feeling of apparating.

The two were now sitting at a table in the three broomsticks. Mattheo wasn't stupid, he knew the signs of black magic when he saw them.

And she was using it.

Or at least trying.

The magic had been radiating off of her, but it wasn't strong enough to get felt by other people who weren't used to using it daily.

So he knew.

Which was very very bad for scarlett.

She gulped as she finally managed to calm down, his eyes watched her closely making her feel uncomfortable.

"You're using black magic." he stated, his voice low as he tried not to talk to loud while his now narrowed brown eyes stared at her.

Fuck.

"And?" she responded, not wanting him to know that she was fucked with him knowing.

"You're not that talented at it, i suppose." he continued and she furrowed her brows, son of a-

"I can read your thoughts, sweetheart."

Rot in hell.

He chuckled, clearly he found it amusing that she reacted to him like this.

"How do you know?" she asked, two could play a game.

He shrugged, thinking about what he should tell her and what he shouldn't. "I feel it, but it's not strong which means you're weak." he truthfully answered her question.

The bluntness almost made her jaw drop but this was the dark lords son, she shouldn't have expected less.

"You're mean."

"Im being honest."

She rolled her eyes at him, scarlett leaned back in her seat. "So you're an expert at black magic or what?"

He chuckled again.

He had a cute-

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

"Yes."

"Teach me then." she huffed and he let out a laugh, thinking she was joking although she had been serious.

When he realised this wasn't some stupid joke by the way she had looked at him.

"Teaching someone is basically impossible also it would be a waste of my time." He explained and got up from his seat.

She shook her head and grabbed his wrist.

"Watch it." He warily eyed the way that she had her hand on his wrist. "You want something in return, what is it?" She asked as she had now gotten up as well.

He was quiet for a few seconds.

"When the time comes im going to want that favour, got it?" He sternly replied and she nodded her head.

He harshly pulled away his hand and began to walk away.

"Meet me tomorrow night in the astronomy tower."

She heard his voice in her head and she bit her lower lip as she thought about what she had done.

It was a deal with the devil.

I had left the three broomsticks because i still needed a dress although i didn't want to go to the party.

And i had actually found one that i liked and it didn't take me that long.

Now i was back at Hogwarts, the room i had been sharing with my friends was utterly silent. I was getting ready while the other 3 sat on daphne's bed i could feel them staring at me but i continued applying my mascara.

I was getting sick of this.

They were my friend, why would they exclude me all of a sudden? Maybe i said something wrong or..

My hand began twitching and i quickly shut my eyes trying not to lash out. When i hadn't started with dark magic i could control it, now i felt like a time bomb.

I opened my eyes regaining my confidence with that i stepped out of the room into the large hallway.

None of them said anything but as soon as the door closed i heard them whisper.

What did i do?

========

Ginny Weasley and i had been friends for 2 years. Although we had gotten extremely close last year because of the order right before my dad died.

No one except for the golden trio and the elder order members knew i was Sirius's daughter.

So Ginny was left in the dark.

To her i was Scarlett Jones and not Persephone Black.

I was thankful, the more people who knew that i wasn't who i was pretending to be were in danger.

Because if my cover ever blows i would be in peril along with everyone else who was involved.

I sighed after i finished telling Ginny what happened with the slytherin girls and she seemed surprised.

She started tolerating the girls because of our friendship and she hadn't expected them to act like this when it was me.

"They haven't said anything?" She asked with her brows raised and i nodded my head. "Nothing, i don't know why they are like this all of a sudden. At lunch everything seemed fine."

"Look, if they don't attempt to talk to you than they simply aren't worth your time. You deserve someone who's there for you and who actually cares about your feelings, Scarlett." She responds and i smile at her words before pulling her into a hug to show her how much im appreciating her.
