Theodora Riddle {A Harry Potter fanfic} *Completed*

Chapter Twenty.

Finally classes ended. Theodora, Abigail and Bella were going to the library to do their homework but Ellie made the excuse of not feeling well. Thankfully the girls believed her and Ellie ran off towards the Slytherin common room.

"Pureblood." she said and the portrait hole opened up. Ellie slipped into the girls dorms and pulled out Toms' diary.

Tom?

Ellie?

Yes, it's Ellie.

Ellie wrote to Tom all afternoon, she even missed dinner! Ellie felt drained, exhausted but happy. She felt like Tom really understood her; He was charming, sweet, funny, everything Ellie valued in a person. Ellie heard footsteps coming towards the dorms. She recognised Theodora's high voice and hurriedly hid the diary under her pillow. Ellie lay back on her bed and tried to look as sick as possible (which wasn't really that hard, she was as white as a ghost and had huge bags under her eyes).

"Hi Ellie," Theodora said, as she and Abigail entered the dorm. "Where were you at dinner?

"Here," Ellie mumbled. "I wasn't hungry, feel sick."

Theodora looked over at Ellie, a sigh escaped her lips.

"You don't look well, I think you should go see Madame Pomfrey." Theodora said. Ellie shook her head.

" 'm fine!" Ellie cried. But Theodora was insistent.

"You're going to Madame Pomfrey," she said, pointing to the door. "Go!"

Ellie nodded sadly and walked out. She arrived at the hospital wing and Madame Pomfrey ran over.

"Miss Lestrange," she said. "What is it?"

"I don't feel well, madame." Ellie said weakly. She honestly thought she was going to keel over with tiredness. Madame Pomfrey took one look at Ellie and handed her a pair of hospital pyjamas.

"Get changed," she said firmly, she magicked over to curtains and Ellie hurriedly changed into the pyjamas. "You're staying the night."

Ellie climbed into the bed without a word and gulped down a potion that Madame Pomfrey had gave her. Ellie was asleep in seconds.
