A Riddle's Weakness | D.M

Taking Care of Her

Tom

I was sitting with Parkinson on one of the couches. Talking, or trying too, about our classes. She was two years under me but she was still kinda pretty and a great person to talk to. I was laughing at a joke she made about Professor Trewlaney's class. I was looking around the room and spotted Amethyst with someone. I couldn't see who it was but he looked familiar.

I looked closer and saw it was Prucey. They were dancing and he was trying to get closer. She was obviously drunk. He was a little too close for comfort. I looked over to Pansy and nudged her shoulder. She looked at me and I jerked my head over to them. She looked and tilted her head, seeing what was going on. I stood up and walked over to her.

She was trying to push him away, smiling. Not only was she drunk, she was high. I sighed and grabbed her wrist, pulling her away from him. He looked up at me and smirked. "Here to collect your bitch?" His words were slurred and sloppy. They were both intoxicated.

Pansy grabbed Amey and pulled her away, taking her to the others. I, however, stayed back and looked him in the eyes. "Stay away from my sister, Prucey. I'm not going to tell you again." I shouted over the music. His smirk turned into a smile and he shook his head. "I don't think I will. Maybe her tight puss-..."

His words were cut off by my fist slamming into his cheek. He stumbled back and all the people around us stopped and stared, immediately backing up.

I kneeled down and grabbed his collar, bringing his face closer to mine. "You touch her and I'll kill you myself." His smile never left and he started to laugh. I dropped him and walked over to Pansy and the others. Theo was passed out drunk and so was Zambini. I sighed and saw Amethyst leaning on Pansy, half asleep. I grabbed my brother and put his arm around my neck, helping him up. Malfoy grabbed Zambini and we all walled out of there.

We arrived back at the common room in a few minutes. It would've been shorter but Filch and his cat were in the halls.

I let my brother go on one of the couches and helped Pansy place down Amethyst. She was asleep and her nose was red. I sighed, walking over to her and braiding her hair.

"What happened. What did he say." Malfoy spoke up.
"He threatened to fuck her, saying it didn't matter what." He looked pissed but kept his mouth shut. He placed Zambini down and sighed.

I finished the braid and took her hair tie from her wrist and tied it off. Standing back up, I walked to my brother and took off his jacket, making sure he didn't get throw-up on it and so he doesn't over heat.

I sat on a chair and put my hands in my hands,letting out an exhausted breath. I felt a hand on my back, another on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Pansy in front of me. She was looking down at me and smiling softly.

I heard a groan coming from Amethyst. "Tom! Tom come here." She called out. I got up and walked over to her. She smiled drunkenly at me. Her cheeks rosey and her eyes barely open. Her eyes were wide enough to see, and they were reder than her cheeks. She laughed and grabbed my face. "Hii. You look stressed. Want a..." She trailed off and looked over at Pansy, standing behind me.

Her eyes lit up and she smiled brighter than I've ever seen. She pushed my face out the way and tried to stand. I sighed at her drunken state and helped her stand. She stumbled but stood well with my support. "You look very sexy in that. I wish I looked like you." She slurred half her words but they were still pretty clear. "Doesn't she look good, Tom? Merlin's beard I wish I looked like that." Her voice was serious and I knew what was about to happen. I covered her mouth and threw her over my shoulder. She squealed and giggled.

Pansy was standing there, looking confused at my actions. "What? You wanna hear her all night complaining about herself and saying how she wants to look like you?" She still had a confused look but went along with it.

"Malfoy, take my brother to bed. I got Amethyst." He nodded and grabbed Theo. Theodore grabbed Zambini and followed after Malfoy. I nodded for Pansy to follow me.

We walked up the stairs and to their dorms. I walked to the bed Pansy pointed to and laid my sister down on it. She giggled and started messing with my hair. Her movement were cautious but sloppy.

"Amey. Don't touch my hair please." She pouted and turned to her side. Her voice dropped as Pancy came closer.

"Do you think I'm getting uglier?" She practically whispered.
I sighed and sat on the end of her bed, making sure not to get too close to her. "No, your getting healthy." I put my hand on her ankle, rubbing my thumb back and forth reassuringly.

She moved her legs away and I took my hand off immediately. "That's what Mother said too. I think she's just lying. To make me happy. Vincent say's I'm getting..." I cut her off. "I don't give a fuck what he said. He has no say in your life." Pansy put her hand on my sister's shoulder, moving her on her back.

"Here." She gave her a glass of water and sat next to her. "Thanks." She looked unbothered. I knew they were close but I didn't know Amey would let her do that. I sighed and stood back up. I walked to her other side and started taking off her jewelry. "You sure know what to do." Pansy commented.

"My sister is a handful but she is easy to take care of. This isn't the first time I've taken care of her when she's drunk." I explained, trying to wipe off her makeup. She nodded and looked back at my sister, who was trying to keep her mouth closed so I could wipe off her lipstick.

Once I finished, she sighed and looked at Pansy. "How do you stay so fit? It's amazing to see how naturally beautiful you are." Pansy smiled but my face remained in a sad expression. Her hand found mine and she smiled sadly. "I know what your thinking. I'm fine." I nodded and kissed the top of her head.

I moved away as she drifted off to sleep. Pansy moved away as well and stood next to me. I watched and made sure she would be alright. After about three minutes, we left the room and walked back down stairs.

God, I needed to get drunk. I hated how I felt sorry for someone who can't feel anything. She has issues of her own and was dealing with them on her own. Walking back to the couches, Pansy sat next to me and leaned her head on my shoulder. "Is she okay?" I nodded and sighed.

The others came down and sat with us. I sighed and looked at them. Draco was rubbing his jaw. "What the hell happened to you, Malfoy?" He looked over at me and rolled his eyes. "Your brother tried to kill us."

"That's an exaggeration. He tried to fight us cause he thought we were going to steal his organs." Nott explained. I chuckled and looked around. "What should we do?" Malfoy and Nott looked at each other and smirked. "Truth or Dare." Pansy scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Alright."
"Fine."
"Only if there's drinks involved." Pansy leaned forward and everyone agreed with her. She stood up and went to the dorms.

She came back with Fire Whiskey and shot glasses. We all smiled and started the game.

I actually smiled. I didn't know why but life felt good at the moment. That only moment
