THE TRAIN RIDE
Once we got into the compartment there was casual conversation for a few hours and Theo was being quiet and Daphne being Daphne says
"Sooooo Theo."
"What do you want greengrass?" He responds bitterly
"How's your mom doing? It's been a while since we talked." Theo just stares at her and I can see tears forming in his eyes I give Daphne a glare and gesture for Theo to follow me thankfully he does when we get out I lead him to a closed off area that's empty I open the door he walks in and I shut the door and turn to hug him but I hesitate.
"Why are you being nice to me? I've been nothing but a dick to you all day."
"Because Daphne doesn't know when to stop and you look like you want to cry. Now give me a hug, you need one." He looks shocked at my statement but he comes over to me and grabs me and we sit there hugging for what could have been forever.
We hear a knock and he lets go of me and I see a tear running down his cheek I quickly swipe it away before opening the door
"Hey Matt." I say and he comes in
"Theo are you ok?" He says and Theo nods and I slip out of the room and go back to the compartment and open the door to Tom and Daphne arguing
"I'm sorry it was an accident." She repeats
"He just lost his mom, not a good time for jokes." Tom says I sit back down next to Daphne and stare at the window and stare out of the window until I head the door open and I see Theo and Matt walking back in theos eyes were very red and another tear was running down his cheek as he sits down. I bring my hand up to his jaw and quickly swipe the tear away before staring into his beautiful eyes for a minute before pulling my hand from his face and staring out the window again. I felt his eyes staring a hole into me but I tried to ignore the feeling until conversations started up again and added where my opinions mattered. Finally we arrived at
Hogwarts when the train stopped I tried to grab my luggage out of one of the bins but couldn't reach it I felt someone lean against me and I saw a hand grabbing my luggage and I turned around it was Theo
"Thank you." He says almost in a whisper but I knew what he meant he handed me my luggage and quickly left I stood for a moment in shock not knowing what to say after my moment of shock I left following the crowd of people and putting my stuff and meeting my friends at our normal spot and as normal we were getting many dirty looks from the Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Gryffindors which we returned. I somehow ended up sitting across from Theo with Matt on his left and Tom on his right. I had pansy on my left and Daphne on my right. I couldn't help but look at Theo and surprisingly he was looking back at me as everyone else was goofing off while professor McGonigall was helping with sorting as usual we got a few new students in slytherin the one I was most excited about was my sister. Once dumbledore finished his speech and told us to eat I got up causing a lot of stares and ran to my sister and gave her a big hug.
"Marie I'm so proud of you!"
"Thanks Ali. Can we send an owl to mom?"
"Yes after dinner meet me in my dorm, ok?"
"Yeah I'll meet you there." She says and goes back to talking and I go back and sit in my seat
"Who was that?" Theo asks I look up at him
"Oh that's my little sister Marie." I say a little to excitedly.
"How many siblings do you have?" He asks I can feel a few people's eyes on us.
"Are you sure you want to talk about family right now Theo?" I ask and he nods back at me
"Um well I have an older brother but he graduated last year I have my little sister Marie my little brothers Aaron and axel they're twins and my mom just had another daughter named Ashley." I say
"Your mom must love A names. why is Marie's name start with an M?"
"Oh Marie's full name is AnneMarie." He just grunts in acknowledgment and I finish eating and go to my dorm and I hear Marie scurrying after me we make it to my dorm and shut the door.
