Silently Screaming For Help

|Chapter 111 : Little Queries|

"Pucey was wondering why you weren't at practice"

"Okay" I mumbled quietly, not looking over my book to look at Draco as I held it in front of my face, hiding behind it, pretending to read it as I scanned my eyes over the words lazily, not taking in a single word.

"That's.... not the correct response"

"Maybe not the correct one but it's my response"

"You've been skipping practice too much lately Amelia. It's not as if it goes unnoticed, everyone else is wondering and keep asking me and I'm tired of making up excuses for your absence"

"I never asked you to"

"I know you didn't, but I still did because it seemed reasonable but if you rather I didn't then that's fine and I'll let you deal with his annoyance rather than it being me" flicking my eyes up ever so slightly I watched as he sat himself down onto one of the seats, sighing as he stared around with a fed up look as I hid my face again, the two of us falling silent.

"Why aren't you showing up anymore?"

"I don't think I need to give you my reasons"

"Since I need to know, I think you-"

"You don't need to know, you want to know. There's a difference and you should learn that" I told him quietly, slowly turning the page to make it look like I was reading as it went quiet again and I sat there anxiously, my heart painfully beating in my chest as I held my breath

"No, the real difference is I need to know so I can tell them why instead of making up excuses for you-"

"Maybe I just want to spend more time with Theodore, is that so much of a problem?"

"Considering you never look like you want to be around him, then yes-"

"I do want to be-"

"Well even if so then pick a different time to be with him-"

"Why? It's not that big of a deal-"

"It's interrupting practice-"

"So? It's not as if we have competitions this year"

"That's besides the point, we'll have matches next year and therefore we need to practice for those"

"Who said I'll be on the team next year-"

"Merlin, Amelia! Will you stop coming up with unneeded problems and just explain why you aren't at practice? I'm needing to know one simple thing! Not why you're being so dramatic and avoiding the question" he exclaimed exasperated, standing up annoyed as I jumped a little, pulling my book towards my face and he stood a couple of feet away, staring at me as I bit the inside of my lip anxiously

"Well? Are you going to let me know?"

"I'm going to let you know that you're an arse" I muttered quietly as I pushed myself up, snapping my book shut on the way past as I walked down to my dorm, shutting the door behind me in the empty room as I headed into the bathroom, leaning with my head propped above the sink as I breathed out quietly, trying to calm myself down while also letting myself slowly zone out.

Shouting out I lifted my head up after it had been forcefully slammed into the sink, stumbling backwards blindly as I looked about frantically, holding my face in pain as my hands were grabbed, the door forcefully kicked shut as I started screaming. Trying to force myself away I was pulled around quickly, swung to the floor as my back with the ground with a crack and I started kicking frantically, scrambling away as I grabbed the handle and yanked the door open, running up the stairs as quick as my legs would take me
