✑ʟᴀᴜʀɪᴇ ᴍɪɴᴛᴢCHAPTER TEN - SLUT-SHAMING
"SO STILL NOT on good terms with your brother?"
"Not really." After several minutes of snogging, Graham and I were out of the unused classroom to chat and have some time together. Both of us had a free period before our next class. So we headed out into the courtyard and sat down on a more secluded bench next to the large oak.
"Why's that?" I sighed and let my face fall between my hands. I felt Graham's soft laugh at my reaction. He then put a hand on my back to comfort me. I felt so overwhelmed by my feelings and thoughts.
"I know I've been an arse, but so has he. I feel like I should apologise, but it's like as much as he needs me and I need him, I just can't be with him. It's like I - I can't even look him in the eyes... I see all his pain and - I just can't right now, " Graham pulled me closer to him and kissed the top of my head.
"Take your time, don't rush yourself. You will find your way back to each other one way or another. " I lifted my head and smiled at him. He was right. Somehow, Theodore and I were going to reconcile and make things work. We always had. I just needed some time to figure out how I was feeling. The rest of the day went rather slowly. Although Goyle was good company, I preferred my friends. It had been only one day already and I was sick of it.
However, I was extremely stubborn. I wasn't intending to be the first to fix the misunderstanding. I preferred to wait for them to come to me even if it meant spending more days with Pansy. At least I had Millicient. She had already become a friend and I was grateful that I wasn't without companions. After the feast, I hurried to my dormitory avoiding having to make small talks with anyone. When I got to the dorm, I lay down on my bed and let out a sigh. What a day. I grasped my bag that I had left on the floor as I unpacked my books. I began to do some homework in the silence of my dorm. I actually enjoyed the quietness. The others weren't going to come up for a few hours and I had plenty of time. Most stayed in the Common Room or took time in the library and I was seriously grateful.
After a few minutes, Daphne and Tracey entered our dormitory. I was pretty shocked they got to our dorm so early. The tension was sensed when they noticed my presence. To my surprise, Tracey came over to me and Daphne followed her with her head bowed. Tracey and Daphne took a seat on Tracey's bed which was next to mine. Tracey opened her mouth, but closed it automatically and turned her attention to her hands. She started to play with her fingers and I could tell she was uncomfortable with the situation. She finally opened her mouth.
"We knew we were going to find you here. We-I... We're sorry Rosie. I should never have taken part in what happened with Theo. I knew he was really hurt and I felt bad for him, but I should never have ignored you. It was really stupid and unbearable. "
