Curses and Sheepish Apologies
Image created by Keegan Cadwalader
I walked through the abandoned toilets, feeling a ripple down my spine. I hoped that this weekend would be uneventful. After all, I simply had way too many times where people snuck up on me, or insulting some idiots who just cannot be trusted. I sighed.
Most people wouldn’t appreciate such thinking, but that was the gift, or perhaps curse, of being unique. Then again, I was an antisocial goth. That came with the title. I suddenly sped up, walking briskly. Then I collided with another person.
How many times must I bump into the dunderheads and idiots of Hogwarts. I scowled, standing up. I puffed my chest up getting ready for a shouting match when suddenly, I recognized the person.
“Keegan? Keegan Cadawalader? Is that you?”
I was shocked. No wait, shocked didn't even begin to describe it. I was stunned. I had met him years ago, when I was about maybe 8 or 9. My Uncle had taken me to a muggle concert of a friend of his who turned out to be Levi Cadawalder. His son had been there as well, and I had made easy friends with the boy. Now, he was here. At Hogwarts.
I shook out of my shock and offered him a hand, with sheepish apologies.

I was in the abandoned toilets, waiting for the transfiguration to end, sitting with my feet up on the toilet seat so nobody would see me. I fidgeted with my wand looking at it, tensing my jaw and exhaled. Better to not show up than risk embarrassment. I could already imagine the others' looks. I always have a tendency to make a fool of myself. Coward. I paused at that thought and groaned, deciding to get up. I’m a Cadwalader, not a coward. I put my robe back on and shoved the wand in its pocket and brushed myself off. I slammed the stall door open, taking a deep breath and looked in the mirror. I grinned at it and huffed looking to the side before going to walk out the door when some goth chick bumped into me.
“Oi! Watch where yer goin next time!” I mumbled, stumbling back.
She eyed me and her eyebrows went up in surprise.
“Keegan? Keegan Cadawalader? Is that you?”
“Uh yeh that’s me,” I just gave her a confused look nodding. Uhm who the hell are is this? And how does she know who I’m?
My thoughts got cut off as she stuck a hand out and I hesitantly took it shaking it smoothly, not knowing what else to do.

Keegan took my hand hesitantly, making me realize that he had no idea who I was. I was annoyed at that, just the tiniest bit. After all, I was an unforgettable sort of person, but that didn’t matter at the moment. I smirked at him and said, “It’s Nyx. Remember me? Nyx Blackheart. I went with my uncle Zeus to one of your father’s concerts with him a few years ago. I was annoyed and you were as well. But we figured out how to play nice with each other.”
I smirked at the last part, remembering how I was threatening to pound him and he was naturally indignant against my threats. We threatened and snapped at each other, looking like a pair of disagreeable cats. The adults just laughed at us and went about on their business, doing whatever adults did at the moment. In the end, we had made easy friends with a shared love of languages and accents. We had spent the remaining time together mimicking strange an foreign accents, leaving us little less then a pile of giggles. I smiled wistfully, my eyes slightly glazing over with the memories that came to the surface.
I shook my head and turned back to the other Welsh boy, hoping that he remembered me now.

When the girl smirked, that's when realization dawned on the boy. Keegan froze, his mouth gaped open as he stared at the goth gryffindor. He remembered that smile, the smirk from a few years ago-it was the same one that a guy named Zeus had, a frequent regular, who somehow found them no matter where they went, and no matter what they were doing, Lev always shooed Keegan away when the man came to visit for whatever reason. One time the man-Zeus-had brought a girl with him, who Keegan grew quite fond of despite the fact that she had constantly told him to eat slugs and other threats that didn't make any sense back then. He blinked at her "Is it really you!?" She was so much different than the feisty little thing he knew. She looked older somehow, a bit edgy and darker but it was her. Keegan suddenly broke into a wide grin that took up his whole face and without warning let go of her hand and pulled her into a big bear hug.
"I don't believe it,"
She was one of the only people that genuinely listened to him-the only one who knew more. She had been one of the only friends he had. She had gone with Zeus a few times but after accidentally walking in on Lev and Zeus sitting close together in a booth-the two never showed their face again, even though it was one of the only times Keegan saw his dad look at someone like that besides his mum-genuinely happy. Keegan hugged the girl tighter. "I thought I'd never see you again-, I can't believe I forgot-," He mumbled in disbelief.
