"why does he want to leave?" lysander asked solemnly.

"um cause we're annoying and thousands of miles away?" callen answered as though it was the most obvious answer.

"but still," lysander pouted.

"awe is lyssie sad that his boyfriend doesn't love him?" hugo mocked in a baby voice.

the group of friends were currently sitting at the long gryffindor table in the great hall, eating their problems away with the feast that was provided before them.

"whatever. i'm going to the loo."

meanwhile, laurel collins stood behind the staircase in front of the great hall, arguing with her parents over the phone.

"i just don't understand why i cant have my parents support me!" she yelled, with a thick accent. "this has nothing to do with mateo, i don't care that he's in the ministry! i don't care about working with prudes like amelia arbor! that's not what i want to spend my life doing and i need you to understand that."

laurel stood there as her mother yelled at her for wanting to work at something as crazy and pointless as dragons. "mamá, i need you to—"

"hey. laurel right?" the familiar boy from the train spoke as he came to a stop.

"mamá i'll call you later, adiós," and with that, she turned her phone off and turned to face the boy, plastering a fake smile on her face. "that's me. and you are...?" she asked, obviously knowing who he was.

"oh um i'm lysander? you know, i crashed into you in the ride here?" he stated, scratching the back of his neck.

"ohh... right! how could i forget! you're the boy who owes me a butterbeer," she smiled, beginning her quest to eat in the great hall.

"well, if you'd like, me and my friends are hanging out tonight in my friend callen's dormitory. you could always join and maybe i could give you that butterbeer?"

"i'm busy tonight," she lied. "maybe another time, scamander."

and with that, lysander was left standing there all by himself, in the small room under the stairs.

"lyssie, what's wrong?"

"callen stop calling me that! i'm not a girl!" lysander snapped as he sat on lily's bed with a stone cold expression on his normally lit-up face. his teeth were clenched and lips were pursed.

"well from the way you're acting i wouldn't doubt it," callen mumbled, taken aback by his sudden behaviour. he had been seemingly upset ever since dinner and no one could quite put their finger on what it was. he was hardly ever this angry. 

"rose could you just play the movie already?"

the group of friends were sitting all over the room. some were on the floor while others occupied the beds. hugo had attempted to make a pillow fort, just for the fun of it [because who doesn't love a nice hugo weasley pillow fort?], but gave up after rose yelled at him for wasting the pillows, so instead, he took his place with callen on her bed.

"where's lorcan?" addy frowned, taking notice that her boyfriend wasn't with them. "i haven't seen him since we got off the carriages."

"mcgonagall requested to see him in her office. i heard he had to show a new student around," lily told the worried girl.

"oh. that makes sense... i guess."

everyone quieted down as the movie began.

"wow merlin did well with making tom holland—"

"definitely not tom. chris hemsworth, on the other hand? now that i can agree with—"

"i personally think that liam hemsworth is better but, i me—"

"good lord would you all shut up and watch the movie?!" lysander shouted, ceasing the chatter between the girls as they fawned over the cast of the avengers.

"why are you so moody. jeez," lily mumbled. she hadn't meant to start the fight that was to come. she had never meant to tear her friends apart.

"lily just shut up!" lysander yelled.

"don't you dare talk to her like that!" rose shouted, matching his tone. "i don't know what your problem is, but you need to figure it out. i'm not dealing with you yelling at us like you're superior, like— like you're james. i won't have it. he graduated last year and i thought things would finally be better now that his ass is in america. don't make things like they used to be. don't become james."

"don't fucking talk about james like that, you prune. he did more for all of us than you'll ever do. all you do is read the dictionary and sit inside and tell us what not to do. i'm sick of it."

"then leave," rose glared.

"guys let's calm down and talk about this—" addy tried.

"oh my—ugh," he groaned, "and you. addy the only reason why i bother being nice to you is because somehow, my brother likes you—"

"lysander!" callen shouted. "come on."

callen held the door open for the fuming boy, leading him out and closing it behind them.

"zander, what's going on? you never act like this," callen said softly.

"i— i don't know i just snapped and i'm so angry and i couldn't stop it," lysander told his best friend, sitting down on the stairs and putting his head in his hands.

"lys it's alright. just take the night off. get some rest and cool down. they'll understand, i promise. text me," she told him, offering her signature crooked smile, only now it was out of pity instead of wit.

"yeah, alright. see you tomorrow. let me know when lorc gets there."

"of course. goodnight lyssie," she told him, emphasising his despised nickname.

he glared at the girl before hugging her. "goodnight callen."
