Could she call her therapist? Or could someone fly her out there? She had to tell her that Lisa likes Daniel, too, and that it was making her feel some type of way. It hurt, but she didn't know where it hurt exactly. It was stuck in her throat and maybe even in her chest. Were her lungs failing her? Did she need a healer?

Thank Merlin her composure was still standing. Her emotions on the other hand, they were stuck in a whirlwind.

It was okay. Her mum says crushes pass. Serena was still waiting on this one to pass, but it was hard when the person she was crushing on was radiant Lisa.

"Yeah...that'd be lovely," she replied to Lisa. That was the first time she's ever lied to Lisa. In this present state of mind Serena didn't want her at Quidditch matches. She'd fall off her broomstick or crash into another player. Or get knocked out by a bludger.

This time...this TIME Serena rolled her eyes at the mention of Jasper being cute and gentleman. "He has a huge ego," she snapped a little at V. It was getting harder to keep her emotions at bay. BREATHE.

Lisa STUTTERED. Was she being honest? Serena felt bad for putting her on the spot, but she had to know. The first time she found out Lisa had a crush on Jasper it had deflated her. She felt rejected even though it wasn't a rejection. Lisa didn't know about her feelings. This wasn't fair, Serena knew it. Not knowing was the worse.

BREATHE.

Then Alfred mentioned Lisa and Daniel would be cute together, and Serena knew she couldn't be around them anymore. Her cold little heart was practically on the floor where Alfred had dropped his romance novel. Except, Serena didn't want to pick it up. It could stay there so she won't hurt anymore.

As her eyes began to sting, she glanced at the Hufflepuff table, where three dumb boys were gawking at them and frowned. She was done. "Here," she said to Alfred, bringing out a handkerchief from her robes, her initials stitched it in silver thread, and tossed it to him. If she didn't have a handkerchief then she wasn't allowed to cry. "I...I have to," she trying hard to keep her voice steady. "Loo." With that, she stood up and quickly made her way towards the door and out. DUMB FEELINGS.
