„Oh, my dear..." (Mattheo Riddle ff)

how things escalated further...

P.T.

,,Oh, for fucks sake!" I cursed, as the stupid shoelace slipped again. ,,Luna? Could you maybe help me? I can't tie my shoes with my left hand only..."

Luna quickly came out the bathroom. ,,Does your right arm still hurt that much?" she asked worriedly, as she tied up my shoes. ,,It happened two days ago..." 

,,It doesn't when I don't move it..." I answered. ,,But unfortunately, I am right handed, and therefore move it a whole lot!"   

,,That's... rather bad." Luna commented, standing up again. ,,Need help with your blazer?"

I nodded. ,,Yes, please." 

Feeling like a helpless grandmother, I put my arms in the sleeves she held up. 

,,God, I hate not being able to use my arm!" I muttered. 

,,Yeah, but it will pass." Luna gave back, helping me put my bag over my shoulder. ,,You should be happy it's just a rather small wound on your arm, instead of death."

,,Touchee..." I answered, sorting out my hair in the mirror with my left hand. 

,,Are we ready for breakfast?" Luna asked, picking up her own bag. 

,,If I see one Weasley on the way, I'm going to loose my appetite. And if I see Harry, I'll probably throw up immediately." I said, pulling a face. 

She just chuckled and followed me through the door, out of our dorm. Walking down the stairs to the common room, Luna and I were suddenly almost run over by a group of boys.

,,Charlie!" I shouted out, getting my balance back. 

He stopped a few steps later, and turned around. ,,Oh, morning Penny, morning Luna." he smiled. 

,,Come on, let's head to breakfast. We're already a little late!" Samuel warned. 

,,Okay, okay, we're coming." I hissed. ,,Don't stress me like that!" 

,,Come on, grandma. Hurry up!" Charlie teased, already taking a few steps back just in case. 

I raised my eyebrows, walking past him. ,,Watch it, Charlie. Watch it. I'm in no mood for jockes today..."

,,Yeah, do my a favor..." Samuel muttered, as we left our house through the portrait. ,,Don't beat someone up today, alright? I know you may feel like it, but please Penny, don't get yourself in any trouble, understood?"

I just shrugged with a chuckle. ,,Well, I don't chose to get in trouble. It wasn't me who tried to murder myself, you know..."

,,Penny!"

,,Okay, alright, calm down! I won't start a fight, alright? I promise."

Samuel sighed and nodded. ,,Thank you..." 

,,But that doesn't mean I won't finish one..." I whispered, so only Luna could hear. 

,,At least make sure Mattheo's with you, if you actually do." she whispered back. 

,,Are you kidding me? He's like a fucking puppy. I can't go anywhere without him!" I gave back. 

,,Just a good boyfriend, if you ask me..." Luna said quietly. 

Chuckling in amusement, I chose not to answer and just kept on walking to breakfast with her and the team. 

M.R.

There she was. 

Other than the bandage around her right arm, nothing indicated what had happened on Saturday. She looked like she always did. Pretty.
