Lyra's POV:

Seeing him this flustered and mad, made my night.

Was teasing Riddle twice in one day a bad idea?

Yes

Was his face priceless?

Also yes

Am I soon going to pay for it?

Duh

Was it still 100% worth it?

Of course

Now, I was worried for Jess.

I haven't seen her since we got here.

Knowing her, she's probably piss drunk somewhere.

Which translates to, she'll do something stupid she'll definitely regret tomorrow.

And seeing Marcus making out with a random girl and Ezra and Eliana having that to discuss,

It's up to me to make sure this bitch doesn't burn the common room down.

I looked around for some time and asked some people, somehow nobody had seen her.

That's strange.

I went to our dorm, and no one was there.

It wasn't exactly late yet.

I wasn't in the mood to stay in a stuffy room with drunk, sweaty teenagers.

I decided to get ready for bed.

I fell asleep pretty fast, guess all that teasing Riddle wore me out.

Ezra's POV:

-time reversed

"Ezra wait!" Yelled Eliana chasing after me.

I didn't stop, I ran out of the common room and all the way to the astronomy tower while trying to hide from her.

But obviously, I failed. My sister's too smart and she knows me better than I know myself.

I reached the astronomy tower and stood near the railing, I wanted to jump, I wanted to fly,

But I knew I couldn't escape forever.

I had to come clean.

And if to no one else, then to my sister.

Eliana and I are twins, though she's two minutes older.

Everyone thinks death eaters make horrible parents, and they do.

But for us, it didn't start that way.

Our parents once cared.

They were never the loving or affectionate type, but they once cared for our wellbeing.

They cared if we were alive.

We know this world isn't made for us, but don't get me wrong, I'm not hear to tell you a sob story, this is the truth of death eater kids, and as much as we lacked happiness and blah blah,

It made us stronger.

Death eaters form they own cult.

All death eater families, as much as they have trust issues, they all stick together,

As much as we hate Riddle's little troupe, we all grew up together and were once close.

We used to stand up for one another and help each other, we knew we were alone from a young age, but it never bothered us too much as long as we had each other.

We grew apart around some time later and split into two sides.

Oddly enough, Lyra and Mattheo were always the closest, and ironically, now they want each other dead and want to be the ones to do it.

A couple years after the first wizarding war, something happened between our parents, from then on, they acted like a couple, always together, but were always bickering and having fights which usually ended really badly.

They grew more and more distant, till they were just two strangers, but in public, they were a perfect, wealthy and powerful couple who couldn't be more in love,

Bullshit.

Since then, Eliana was in charge.

She took care of herself and me, making sure not to led word about our reality spread.

She was more of a mother figure and best friend than my mother ever was.

She made sure I was safe and ate and slept well.

She made sure I never felt unloved.

We were wealthy, power full and to the public, a role model family. Lies.

I've always looked up to my sister, she's my safe space, my friend and only family I need.

"Ezra!" Eliana yelled, finally reaching the top of the tower, i would've been impressed that she did that in heels and a dress, but then I remembered,

She's my sister.
