Leo
I felt their eyes on me, but I promptly lowered mine to the swirling black depths of my coffee cup.
"'Tortured'?!" James questioned, but I refused to answer.
"Leo," Brooke started. "What happened?" I met her eyes, shining with concern, and sighed deeply.
"Basically, my mother found out that Mia and I have been in contact while we're at Hogwarts. Blah, blah, blah, lots of insults, and Sebastien stopped her from killing me." I took a sip of the bitter coffee, just to avoid their pitying looks.
"And you just let her get away with it?" Sirius asked, and I glared at him.
"I didn't really have a choice." I growled, and he stared at me from a minute before sighing.
"Right, no, of course you didn't." His tone was completely sincere, and I lowered my head again.
"I'm supposed to protect her." Elaine reached across the table to rest a hand on my shoulder.
"You didn't have a choice." I shook my head.
"I could have fought back though." Brooke frowned.
"You were scared." She rolled her eyes at me as I glared at her. "That's perfectly normal Leo, your mother's a crazy bitch." I avoided her eyes again, taking another sip.
"I still shouldn't have left her there."
None of them could, or would, argue that.
