It was friday, around 7pm, people were starting to gather in the great hall where the food would be served in some time. Instead of being there, with everybody waiting for the food to appear, Louis was in an empty classroom, a large book with a black leather cover opened in his hands, sitting at what had been once the teacher's desk. The reason he was there was quite simple really, not only the book was being way to interesting to stop reading at that moment but he wasn't really hungry either. He figured he could visit the house elves later on his way to the three broomsticks and grab something to eat. The place was suppose to be a secret but every single member of his family new about it, just like the room of requirement, but that had stopped being a secret the year after his uncle Harry defeated Voldemort. When the story had been published it didn't took long for the students to search it and eventually find it as well.

Closing the book for a moment and placing it on the desk in front of him , he rubbed his eyes that were now tired after so many hours reading. Resting his hands on his lap, he moved the leg that was above the other (they were crossed), up and down gently, just as tit was moving to the sound of music. A charming smile on his face as he watched as everything got darker through a window, the starts being more visible. It was amazing how someone that was unable to have a steady relationship could be, at the same time, so romantic. The door knob moved and turning his head slowly he spoke with soft voice and an eyebrow slightly raised "Hello?" who could it be at that time?Was someone else missing dinner as well?

Valerie sat on the edge of her bed crying. She had been thinking so much lately, ever since she had started going out with the guy she truly loved, Albus Potter. She kept remembering how it felt when she had been with Louis. That one night that she had lost her virginity to him. If she could turn back the clock, she would have waited for it to be Albus. She loved him so much. Just the way her fingers could easily feed through his dark hair and the way his mood seemed to brighten when she walked into a room.

Val stood and walked into the Common Room. She was scared to death that her secret would get out. She walked down the corridors until she came to an empty classroom. She twisted the doorknob and walked inside. She felt like the breath had been knocked out of her and her face, she presumed, looked like a deer caught in headlights. Sitting there was the very person she wanted to see least. Louis Weasley. Stupid virginity stealer. Val looked at her shoes, immediately regretting forgetting to change out of her skirt and dress shirt. “Louis,” she murmured. Val went to the window sill away from him and sat on it, still refusing to meet his eyes. “H-how have you been?” She asked, trying to keep her voice light but failing miserably.

Well, that was someone he was expecting to see, Valerie, and old friend of his that he dated for some weeks before dumping her with the same speech he gave with every girl. It was stupid, but it was the truth, he was unable to stay with a girl too long, he knew he would eventually cheat on the girl and besides, he wasn't looking for any kind of serious relationship.He was young and still had all his life in front of him, why settle so soon when one had more important things to think about? The first thing Louis wanted to care of before even thinking about a long term relationship was to get a good job in the ministry. With his grades he had the qualifications to be anything he wanted and at the time he was torn between Auror and the Minister Personal Advisor.

"Valerie?" he questioned himself with a rather confused look but at the same time a light smile on his face. She seemed petrified to see him, he knew things didn't stay like it was before they dated, but for her to be so shocked to see him made him feel a little uncomfortable, he cared a lot about what others thought about him and if people didn't liked him he would try to do anything in his power to change their mind. That was basically one of the reasons Louis was so popular in Hogwarts, not only very good looking but also gentle. "I've been great, thank you." he replied with a wink "What about you gorgeous?" he asked in a soft voice with a charming smile.

Valerie closed her eyes. She didn’t want to flirt right now. Her heart was shredding itself to pieces over this and it wasn’t exactly Val’s perfect evening. “Louis, please not now.” She sighed. “We can’t flirt like we do anymore. My boyfriend will get pissed off and I think I’m in love with him.” Val explained. “I just don’t know if I want tot tell him that I lost my virginity already. I wasn’t even 16, Louis. He’ll think I’m a slut.” She paused, did Louis know about her and Al? They hadn’t exactly screamed it to the world.

Val put her face in her hands. She wanted so badly to just run to Albus and say it: Albus, I had sex with Louis. Ya that would go over well. If Al didn’t murder Louis then he would break up with her. But then again, he did take her family news quite well. And the news that kids had found it funny to set a rouge bludger on her. Maybe it would be alright. She sighed again and finally looked up at Louis. “I’m really sorry I’m such a downer right now. I just don’t know what to do.” And then the stupid tears started to fall. “I’m such a terrible person. I’m a bad girlfriend.” She sobbed and hugged her torso. She hated feeling so vulnerable, so naked in front of people.

“Louis, please not now.” She sighed. “We can’t flirt like we do anymore. My boyfriend will get pissed off and I think I’m in love with him.”

"We were flirting?" he asked with one eyebrow raised rather confused. Did he do anything that he didn't meant?Not that he remembered, he was like this to everyone, even his sisters, he winked to everyone and called gorgeous to his friends also, it was just how it was, it made part of his personality, maybe some could think of that like a way of flirting but for Louis that was just a normal greeting. "Well, I'm sorry, but that wasn't flirting, I was just talking to you like I do with everyone" he stated with a smirk. If he was flirting, people would know, normally he would lean closer and talk with a soft voice to their ear, that made the trick, but this, this was just normal conversation "Well, good for you to be in love. Way to go" he stated sarcastically while rolling his eyes, grinning right after "Don't worry hun, I won't do it again" he winked again and shook his head "Sorry, force of habit"

“I just don’t know if I want tot tell him that I lost my virginity already. I wasn’t even 16, Louis. He’ll think I’m a slut.”

"Then don't." he said simply, picking his book from the desk in front of and opening in the page he had left before "Besides, If he loves you enough, then he'll understand " he added without looking at her with a serious face. He didn't understood relationship, but he figured love would be enough to forget everything that the other person did before. Louis raised his head slightly as she started crying, he stood up and walked over to her slowly "You're not a bad girlfriend, and I know, I've been there. You didn't knew you would be with this guy when you were with me, you did what you thought was right at that moment, If he has the intelligence and strong feelings for you, he most probably won't be bothered with that" he sat next to her and placed one arm over her shoulder, pulling her gently closer to him "Everything will be alright" he claimed in a warm tone, caressing her head gently with one hand.

Valerie was starting to fume. “No Louis but you know we will. This is how it always starts.” Val was right put out now. She crossed her arms against her chest and sighed. “I’m sorry. I’m just so confused about how I feel right now.” Val explained. “I know you talk like that to everyone Louis. But just interacting with me seems to make us flirt. It’s just so natural for us.” Val groaned. She hated being stuck in a tug of war. On one hand, Louis was smoking hot and they certainly had the chemistry. And then there was Albus, the love of her life who completed her. Val light switched on immediately and she starting fuming again at Louis’s comment. “What the hell do you know about being in love Louis Weasley? You can’t stay in a relationship long enough to know what love is.” Val voice rose quickly. Her eyes were blazing, all her emotions showed through her eyes. She rolled those scorching eyes at Louis. “Ya whatever, Louis. That’s probably not a promise you’re about to keep.” Val stated roughly and pushed off the window sill hard.

“In a real relationship, there are no secrets Louis. I have to tell him or it will be on my conscience forever.” Val explained. “He has a huge temper. He’ll get pissed off and probably dump me.” She started. “Would you forgive me if I had sex with….someone who was close to you?” Val clearly left out Albus’s name. She didn’t want Louis to know yet since Albus obviously hadn’t told him. As tears rolled down Val’s cheeks, she winced. “I know you’ve been there, Louis. That’s the problem. And I should have known better. I’m actually surprised my parents didn’t find out and murder me. And h will be bothered because he’ll be betrayed. I would feel that way in his place.” Val said all of this quite quickly and some words slurred. Val went with the flow, allowing him to pull her close and imagining Albus there now. Louis was slightly more muscular but he had the same grip. “Thank you, Louis.” She whispered against his chest. He felt the same as he had a year ago, the memory flooding back and making it hard for Val to concentrate on her current situation.

The girl was attacking him directly, not even thinking If the things she was saying bothered him or not. What was he?Some kind of sex puppet that wasn't worth anything else but a good night of sex? This was bothering Louis a lot. Taking his hand from over her shoulders he stood up and walked away from her, If she was afraid of her boyfriend to find out they had sex before they started dating, then it was sure he would be bothered If they were in each others arms while they were together.Indeed Louis didn't knew nothing about love besides what he had for his family, but one thing he did had, Intelligence, and here one didn't needed it too much to figure out how stupid all this was. "You know what, I was trying to help but I can't, not because there's nothing I can do, but because the situation is too idiotic for me to handle. Do you really think he could get pissed about something that had happened before you guys started dating?What is he expecting from you?To be really good at divinations?Y-O-U D-I-D-N'-T K-N-O-W !!ARGH!This pisses me off" So, there were a couple of things that really made Louis mad, he normally was the funny, charming boy that never seemed to get annoyed by anything, but when it came to stupid things, he would lose his head. He was now scratching the back of his head with both hands. He had nothing to do with this and even so, just the thought that someone could get mad about something that happened before they even started dating made no sense what so ever.


“Would you forgive me if I had sex with….someone who was close to you?”

"So we are talking about someone close to me...Still, that's no excuse for a break up or anything of that sort, and YES, of course I would forgive you, you or any girl I'm going to date in the future. It's about common sense, I have my life, you have yours and until they don't cross, then there's nothing wrong in doing whatever you want, Its your body, Its your life, and I'm telling you, If he doesn't understand, you're dating someone that is not worth the trouble" Louis could be many things, manwhore, womanizer, etc.. but one thing was for sure, although his relationships never lasted long, while they did, they went perfectly, without discussions or any kind of troubles of this sort. The only problem was his difficulty to stay in a long relationship.

“I know you’ve been there, Louis. That’s the problem. And I should have known better. I’m actually surprised my parents didn’t find out and murder me. And h will be bothered because he’ll be betrayed. I would feel that way in his place.”

His eyebrows raised and his mouth opened, was this girl for real? "First, unless your parents check your vagina monthly, there was no way they would find out, but that's not even the question here. Why would this guy feel betrayed?Tell me, and why would you?I honestly don't understand. THIS.." he said moving his hands in front of him, expressing the discussion "It's the reason why I don't date longer. For Merlin, how could this be possible?" Shaking his head and taking a deep breath, Louis went back to his seat at the teachers desk, he honestly couldn't understand where the big trouble was about something that happened in the past that had nothing to do with what they had at the moment.
