Theodora Riddle {A Harry Potter fanfic} *Completed*

Chapter Twenty-Two.

Theodora looked over at Ellie. Ellie had huge bags under her eyes, her hair was messy and unkept, she also looked like she'd lost a lot of weight.

"You okay, Ell?" Theodora asked. Ellie nodded hurriedly and forced a smile on her face.

"Fine." She replied. Theodora took a seat next to Ellie and lay back. She closed her eyes but kept her mind alert. Theodora knew Ellie wasn't 'fine', something was up.

"There was two attacks today." Theodora remarked casually, her eyes still closed. Ellie made an odd gasping noise.

"W-who?" Ellie asked.

"St Nick, Gryffindor ghost and the Finch-Fletchley boy - Hufflepuff." Theodora said. Ellie didn't answer for a while then said:

"Horrible."

Theodora nodded and let her mind relax. Sleep took over her.

~Ellie~

Ellie didn't remember a thing. Not a thing. She remembered being in her dorm, then what? It was all black. The next thing Ellie knows she woke up next to a petrified St Nick and Hufflepuff boy. Ellie was terrified. Why was she here? What happened? But Ellie couldn't remember! She clambered to her feet, surely Ellie didn't do this to Nick. Obviously not. Ellie felt slightly relieved, she turned the corner and ran down to the Slytherin common room.

"Pureblood." Ellie said the password. The common room was empty, thankfully, Ellie collapsed on the nearest chair and fell asleep.

Ellie awoke to Theodora nudging her.

"Where've you been, Ellie? I've been lookin' everywhere for you." Theodora said. Ellie looked at her feet, she didn't want to tell Theodora about waking up next to St Nick, so she lied.

"I - I don't remember." Ellie said. Theodora seemed to believe her and Ellie out a silent sigh of relief.

"You okay, Ell?" Theodora asked. Ellie nodded and forced a smile on her face.

"Fine." Ellie said. Theodora took a seat next to Ellie and lay back, closing her eyes.

"There was two attacks today." Theodora remarked casually. Ellie felt her body going cold and a gasp left her lips. Theodora's suspicious of me, Ellie thought.

"W - who?" Ellie asked.

"St Nick, Gryffindor ghost and the Finch-Fletchley boy - Hufflepuff." Theodora said. Ellie didn't answer for a while then said:

"Horrible." She tried to sound like this news was new to her. She tried so hard. Theodora seemed to believe her, thankfully. Ellie watched her friend sleep then slipped up to her dorm and sat cross legged on her bed. Ellie pulled out the notebook and wrote:

Tom, you won't believe what happened today ...
