Theo woke with a pounding in his head and a sense that something was wrong. A less educated person would have chocked it up to twin telepathy, but Theo knew that there was no such thing. It was just a feeling he got when there was something very wrong with Campbell. Whether it was one of her bad days or not, he didn't know.
He threw on a robe and ran towards the girl's dorms. Of course he couldn't go up unless he was invited and even then there were more spells that restricted where he could go. He was left to pound on the invisible wall that barred him from his sister.
"What are you doing?" A very bushy haired Hermione asked, rubbing her eyes as she slowly walked down the stairs.
"Something is wrong with Bell." Hermione must have registered the urgency in his eyes because she didn't stick around. She turned on her heels and ran beat feet back up the stairs.
It was too long before she reappeared, but Campbell wasn't with her. He held his breath, waiting for Granger to say something.
"She said that she can't get out of bed."
Theo ran a hand through his hair. "Is that all she said?"
"She said a lot of other things but not all of it made sense." Granger looked at him with big brown eyes.
"Just tell me."
She let out a sigh. "She said that she is a horrible person, that Malfoy is a prick and a drunkard, her life is pointless, her father is disappointed in her, you're the better twin, she shouldn't even try to be better, worthless, useless, and then there were a few other things in there about being unforgivable but those where mumbled."
Theo shook his head. "I need to get up there."
"I can't get you into her room."
"Fuck!" Theo yelled loud enough to wake the whole house, kicking at the invisible wall. He breathed heavily, trying to get a hold of his anger. "Okay, okay, um, Granger, lovely Granger," he reached for her hand as she came down the rest of the way. She let him hold her hand in his. "Will you do me a very large favor and take care of her?"
She started to shake her head, "I have class Theo." He sighed and hung his head.
"You're right, you're right. I'm sorry. Will you get her work for her then, from her classes? I can get you her schedule."
"Yeah of course." She started to pull away but he held on tighter.
"Thank you Granger." She just smiled and nodded. "One more thing?"
Yeah... I know this is short. Though, I really love this small exchange between Theo and Hermione. It makes me smile, even if the bad is coming, and oh is it coming.
