31) Snow

The snow was sticking in his hair as he approached her sitting by the lake.

"I don't want to talk about it, Lou." She sniffled, hugging her knees.

"Was it something that git, Fillipo, did again?" He crossed his arms and looked down on his older sister.

"No, me and Fill have been done for awhile now." Dominique said, looking up at him and wiping her eyes.

Louis sat down beside her and put his arm around her. She was shivering. "Where's your coat, Dom?"

She looked down at herself as if for the first time. "Oh, I guess I forgot it in my dorm."

Louis shrugged off his coat and handed it to her.

"Thanks." She mumbled slipping into it. She might have been older than him but to Louis it always seemed like he was the oldest. He thought it his responsibility to keep an eye out for Dom and Victoire.

"Tell me what happened, Dom."

"It really is nothing. I don't know why I am even out here."

"Dominique, your crying. You never cry." Louis observed. "Tell me what happened."

"Really, Lou, I'm fine." She smiled sadly at him.

"Alright, if your not going to tell me then I'm going to tell Fred and James to go ahead and beat up Zabine." Louis stood up.

"NO!" Dom jumped up and grabbed his hand. "It wasn't Fillipo! I promise!"

Louis cocked an eyebrow. "Really it wasn't?" Dom pleaded.

"Then what was it?"

She sighed sinking back into the snow. "Itwasteddy."

"What?"

"Teddy! It was Teddy, ok!"

"What about Teddy? He broke up with Vic months ago, even she is over it."

"Iwasdatinghim."

"What, Dom? Seriously you need to speaking up?" He grinned down at her.

"I. Was. Dating. Him." Dom looked at him seriously and the tears started to fall again.

Louis jaw dropped. "Wait, what?"

"After Teddy and Vic broke up, we started writing to each other. I really wanted to know how his trip around the world was. Well, things started to get more serious in the letters, and when he came back last month, he asked me to meet him in Hogsmeade. I didn't tell anyone because Vic would be furious, you three would tear the mickey out of me, and Lily would tell the whole family." Dom stated studying the snowflakes falling.

Louis sat down beside her. "So this whole time that we all have thought you were dating that git, when really you were dating another git that had already hurt the family."

"Teddy wasn't the git. Vic lied to us. Teddy broke up with her because she cheated on him."

"Well, that makes more sense actually. We all knew Teddy was crazy about Vic, why would he break up with her after two years because he needed to "find" himself." Louis observed.

"Yeah, and you knew how close me and him were. I believed Vic, and stopped talking to him, but then...well you know." Dom said.

Louis hugged his sister. "It'll be alright, Dom. I promise, but you never did tell me why you were crying."

Dom wiped her eyes again. "Well, things were great for me and Ted. Up until he started Healer training. I know it is probably just stress, but we got into a fight the last time he visited me at Hogsmeade. He left without a goodbye and I haven't talked to him since. Plus add all the stress of N.E.W.T.'s and I'm a walking ball of emotions."

Louis hugged her closer. "Don't worry, Dom. It will work out. Teddy will realize he is a total idiot and come crawling back. And your bloody brilliant so I don't know why you are stressing out over exams. You'll do so well that the Healer Acadamy will have no choice but to accept you."

"You really think so, Lou?"

"I know so." He smiled.

"Thanks, Louis. I know I can be crazy sometimes. I'm just glad you're here to help.

"No problem, sis. I'll always be here for you." He laughed. "Come on, let's go inside. You're turning blue."

He pulled her up and dragged her toward the castle to get some hot chocolate.
