TW: Blood, cuts, mentions of death?
We all stood in silence for a minute, I could tell Liam didn't want to say anything around me."I'll be in the library then" I forced a smile "Have a nice chat" I left in silence and made my way to the Library.
After finding a couple books I sat in the back corner of the library. I read for a little while but I must have fallen asleep because next thing I knew, I was getting shaken awake by Mattheo. "You ok?"
"Yeah, just tired I guess" I replied, yawning. I grabbed Mattheo's hand and he pulled me to my feet.
"Well you missed Lunch"
"I'm not hungry" I paused. "So what did Liam want to talk about?"
He looked around before apparating us to his dorm. He went over to his bed and pulled out his sketchbook. I looked back up towards me "Death Eater stuff, turns out he was forced by his Father as well"
"Lovely" I replied sarcastically "But why him, he doesn't really seem cut out for it currently, I'm surprised Father let him join. I mean he's 13, same as me and advanced to 4th year but it doesn't make sense unless he's really powerful or something"
"Yeah, I don't know"
"So does he not know that I'm one too, is that why he didn't want to talk about it around me?"
"I don't think he considered it"
"Because of my age or because I'm a female?"
He sighed and his lips formed a straight line "probably both"
There was suddenly frantic knocking on the door. Mattheo got up and opened the door and quickly moved out of the way and helped Theodore over to the open bed. Theo had blood all over his clothing and it looked like he was stabbed. Liam, who had brought Theodore up, was still standing at the doorway, horror filling his face. "Are you going to stand there or what?" I asked him
He didn't say anything, just left down the staircase. I closed the door and locked it. Turning back to Theodore I could see Mattheo was already trying to heal him. "We might have to take him to the Hospital Wing, I don't know if I can heal this" Mattheo told me
"How did you heal me before?" I asked
"Miles helped by giving me more power" He explained quickly
"Maybe I can do that"
"You've never done it before, do you know how?" He asked "What if something bad happens to you and you don't have enuff power to help yourself?"
"It doesn't matter, besides I have a lot of magic"
"Don't risk it"
"Don't tell me what to do" I replied going up next to him and putting my hand on his shoulder. I tried my best to picture the power flowing out of me and into him. It hurt a little bit but not much.
About two minutes later he was healed and Mattheo gave him a change of clothes, he was in the bathroom currently, cleaning up while I was about ready to pass out. I put my weight onto Mattho and he grabbed me and brought me to bed. "Hey, hey are you ok?"
(Mattheo's pov)
She nodded her head weakly "I'm fine, just- feeling" She paused "A bit tired" Her eyes started to flicker close and she fell back onto the bed.
Theodore came out of the bathroom and glanced at me with Circe "Is she ok?"
"I don't know but, how are you?" I questioned "Who did this?"
"Enzo did, I think it was Malachi's way of saying he's still around and I'm not free of him yet"
He sat down across from me on Thomas's bed, or old bed and looked at me "Thanks for healing me" His mouth made a small smile before going back to a frown.
"No problem, I wasn't going to let you die, I would never forgive myself, I don't think Circe would forgive me either. She cares about you more than you think, she may not love you, but she certainly cares about you"
He looked down and just nodded his head slightly "Yeah" He whispered under his breath.
Just then a letter appeared in black smoke in front of me and fell into my lap. I grabbed it, knowing it was from my father and opened it.
"What is it?" Theodore asked as I put the letter down
"Change of plans, Circe isn't needed at the meeting tonight" I sighed
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"We will have to leave her alone here"
"Can't she come and just be in her room?"
"If father finds her there he will think she was listening to the meeting or doing something behind his back"
"Are you sure she's ok?" He asked, glancing back at Circe.
I looked at her and touched her hand. The instant I touched it I heard a bunch of voices and it took me a second to realize they were thoughts. She was very weak and couldn't block off her mind from me, or from anyone else. Including Malachi.
