The full moon was tonight and I was not ready for that.
I was so tired, I felt pain all over my body. It had never been that bad. Usually I just couldn't sleep.
Clara was already asleep, leaving me alone with my own thoughts.
I thought about wandering around the school, but I didn't want to get another detention. It was just third week of school.
Luckily it was Saturday night so I knew I could sleep as much as I wanted the next day.
I sat on my windowsill, holding onto my legs that were hurting the most. The second most hurtful was my chest and shoulders. I rubbed them from time to time, trying to ease the pain.
I looked at the full moon, cursing it under my breath. I hated it and loved it. It was really beautiful but the pain I felt in that moment made me hate it.
I took my diary again, looking at it and realizing that I needed to buy a new one. It was almost full.
I started to draw the moon and the dark forest that was glowing under the moonlight. Somewhere deep down I hoped to see some creatures, but I didn't saw any.
After a while the sun started to rise and the pain started to soothe away. It was around six in the morning when I got back to bed.
I laid down and Ginger jumped on the bed. He curled up next to me and just like that we both fell asleep.
That day I was not feeling like going to the Great Hall. Thankfully, Clara was nice enough to bring me food to our dorm.
We spent the day just hanging in our dorm or sleeping. I watched as she got ready for her party that Ravenclaw's held tonight.
I helped her to choose the best outfit and did her eyeliner for her.
"Are you sure you don't want to come? Maybe a drink or two helps a bit"
"No, I am really tired. I'll stay with Coco and Ginger. Probably take a relaxing bath and stuff"
"Alright" she said and put on her high heels. "If there is something then...I don't know, call for help"
"Oh you and your good advice once again"
We both laughed and then bid goodbye.
I took a deep breath before closing my eyes for a moment. I got up from the bed after few minutes and ran a bath for myself.
I applied face mask on my face, took two fresh towels and a glass of cold water. I lit the candles in the bathroom and shut the main lights.
I put my hair up in a bun and stepped into the bath, relaxing as the hot water covered my body. Immediately I felt my muscles relaxing.
"Coco, don't you dare to jump into this water" I said as she jumped on the edge of the bathtub.
"You are one young and stupid cat, you know that? I think you do"
He thankfully didn't jump into the water. He lost interest quickly and went to bother Ginger. I took my wand from the ground and put on the record that we had in our room.
John Lennon started singing;
When the night has come and the land is dark
And the Moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
I had my eyes closed as I sang every word of this song along.
And darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me.

I lost myself into the lyrics. It was Clara who introduced me their music and I fell in love within a second.
John' voice, the lyrics, the melody; it was all so beautiful.
By now I knew every song they had.
It was an hour later when I got out of the bath. I washed myself, shaved my body fully. I did my daily skin care and applied body cream over my body.
I dried my hair naturally and let it be down loosely. I used specific product that I applied on the fresh tattoos as well. I knew some protective spells that I used on the fresh tattoos so I could take warm baths that were actually not allowed.
After I was dry, I ate the food that Clara brought me before. It was shrimp pasta. Oh I loved it. It was really the most delicious food.
After that I broke myself a piece of chocolate and laid under the clean covers that I changed before taking a bath.
I watched as cats were eating slowly and soon both of them were by my side again.
"Let's go to sleep, Clara is out tonight so all we hear tomorrow is how she shagged someone again"
"Good night" I pressed kisses on both of their heads and laid my head on my own pillow, closing my eyes and falling asleep.
I didn't hear when Clara stumbled into the dorm around four in the morning. But when I finally woke up, I heard how shit her health was.
She had lost her voice, she had cough, and on top of those things she had bad hangover, again.
I gave her the potions we had that helped her a lot, but of course they didn't heal her fully.
"Do you want tea?" I asked her
"Yes" she whispered out
"I'll go and get us food then"
I pushed myself up from the bed and quickly brushed my teeth and face. I put on a white shirt and on top of it a grayish cardigan. I tucked a part of the cardigan into my black trousers so it would look better.
I did two braids, added my rings and a small necklace.
"You are going to the kitchens not to a bloody fashion show"
"You know I can't go out looking like homeless. I hate to wear sweatpants out of this room"
"Yes, yes I know" she mumbled.
"Alright, I'll be quick" with that I got out of the dorm and ran downstairs.
The kitchens were close to us so it wasn't long before I got there. I tickled the pear and the door opened. A little house elf appeared in front of me.
"Miss Crouch? What can Winkey get for Miss Crouch?" It asked in high-pitched tone.
"Can you please make a tray of food? There should be two cups of green tea, pancakes and different fruits"
"Can Winkey get something more for Miss?"
"No, that's it" I smiled at it, watching as it get to work quickly.
The door opened and I looked over to see professor Lupin there.
"Last I remember is that students are not allowed in here" he raised his eyebrow but had this sweet smile on his lips again.
"I am sorry, professor. It's just that Clara got cold and is sick, I came to get her some food and tea. The Great Hall is closed already"
"It's quite alright, I am not taking points off nor do I give you a detention"
"Thank you, sir" I relaxed visibly
He walked over to the sink and placed his empty mug in there, another house elf quickly cleaned it. Lupin thanked the house elf and turned back to me.
"You should visit Madame Pomfrey, I am sure she can give you some medicine"
I nodded and watched as he turned on his heels and walked out of the kitchens.
When I got the food I made my way over to the hospital wing. Madame Pomfrey gave me few vials and ushered me out of the room.
I got to our dorm and handed Clara her food and the vials. She made faces while drinking the potions, but it was all worth it.
I put on a record and let it play on the background.
For us it was one lazy, lazy Sunday.
