Storming back into the Slytherin common room, Vinda's entire body
thrummed with emotion -
unwanted emotion, at that - and she just
knew she looked a mess, but despite the curious glances she could
feel being directed her way, she kept her head
down and she didn't pay them any mind.
They didn't deserve to get a full glimpse of her vulnerability, of her tear-stained cheeks, of the way her eyes were rimmed red and bloodshot. In all truthfulness... Adrian hadn't
deserved to see her that way either, but -
The image of the
cowardly Hufflepuff with his idiotically
shocked face after he said
those words (and many other, more
cutting ones), like he didn't have any
control over what was coming out of his mouth, danced in front of her eyes on a continuous loop and she needed it to
stop. She needed it to stop
now, and she
knew exactly how she was going to make that happen.
Her feet carried her into the boy's dorm with a purpose because whilst Adrian didn't
want her in that way, didn't deem her
good enough despite all his '
efforts' there was one person in this world that she knew with a degree of certainty didn't feel the same. One she had been denying herself of for
months under some illusion of being
loyal to Adrian but... if he could betray her, string her along for
months without telling her that he wasn't - would
never be interested in her like
that - then she was
allowed to do this.
By some miracle, the dorms were empty
except for Willy who was curled up on his bed, almost looking
peaceful, and then she
heard it. A soft murmuring of
"Vinda" coming from his lips and...
right. This was happening. She was
doing this. Kicking off her shoes, Vinda gave herself a grand total of
five seconds to steady herself before she was gliding straight towards him.
"Wake up," she said urgently, waiting for a small sign that he was no longer asleep before crawling directly on top of him, her thighs bracketing his hips.
"I'm - Willy, I'm ready."
