The Riddles

I stood outside and knocked on the door. The door opened revealing Theo.

"Hey, Y/N. If you're looking for Mattheo then you've just missed him." He spoke.

"Hey. I'm not here for him. I came to see if you'd had any bandages or thing to clean up wounds." I told him.

"Oh right. Come in." He said. I walked in and he shut the door behind him.

"Sorry to disturb you." I said sitting on his bed.

"Oh don't worry. It's alright." He replied walking into his bathroom. "Why do you need a bandage?" He asked.

"Oh just to put it over a cut." You spoke.

He walked out the bathroom handing me the bandage.

I went to grab it and I stuck out the hand which had the words carved into me. Theo furrowed his brows and looked at me.

"How did this happen?" He asked.

"Just Umbitch. I mean Umbridge." I said.

"She did that to you?" He asked a little angry.

"Yeah. During detention. She had tbis fancy quill which engraved whatever you wrote into your hand." I explained.

"That's a pretty fucked up thing to do." He spoke.

"It's something alright." I chuckled.

"Give me your hand." He said. I stuck my hand out and he started clean my hand up.

"Thanks." I say.

"Anytime. Thought i'd return the favour." He spoke.

"Yes. Well i think yours was a bit more bloody than mine." We laughed. "It's healed well though."

"Considering it's only been a week it has healed pretty well." He spoke.

There was then awkward silence in the room until the door burst open revealing Mattheo.

"Dude! You'll never guess what!" Mattheo says falling into his bed. "Theo?" He looked up since he never got a response and he saw you sitting next to Theo.

"Oh, Y/N. Wasn't expecting you. What's up?" she asked.

"Nothing. Just came to get a bandage. Nothing exciting." You told him.

"A bandage?" He questioned. "Since when do you get in fights?"

"It wasn't a fight, well I had a verbal fight with Umbridge so she gave me a detention then she gave me a 'special quill' to use to write my lines and it ended up carving it into my hands." I explained.

"Woah, what?" He was shocked. "You got a detention? My well behaved sister, got a detention?"

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Good for you." He stood up and gave me a high five.

Never have I seen someone proud of someone receiving a detention.

"I'll be off then. Thanks Theo." I smiled.

"Anytime." He smiled back. I walked to the door but Mattheo called me.

"Y/N!" He said. I slowly turned around.

"Yes?" I replied.

"Whilst you're here. Dad wants to have a word with you tomorrow." He told me.

"Tomorrow? That's short notice is it not?" I asked.

"A little." He responded.

"When exactly does he want to see me tomorrow?"
