When I left Tom's room I bumped into Theodore.

"Oh, hey." I say.

"What were you doing?" he asks.

"Nothing, why?" I ask.

He always has to know everything?

"It was just talking, what took you so long in there?" he asks, dead serious.

"Yeah, that's what happened. We were just talking." I say.

"Oh really? What about?" he asks.

I opened my mouth to talk but nothing came out.

"Why do you keep lying to me? Tell me the truth." he says.

"That's the truth, we were just talking!" I say.

"Why don't I believe you?" he asks.

"I don't know. You never do!" I say.

"Ellora, do I have to ask Tom?" he asks.

"No." I say.

"I'll ask him if you don't tell me the truth." he says.

"He'll tell you the same I did." I say.

I hope so, at least.

"Will he? Let's see." he says, opening Tom's door.

"What?" Tom asks.

I stood next to the door, where Tom couldn't see me.

"What were you doing with Ellora?" Theodore asks.

"Just talking. Why?" he asks.

"Just talking? She told me the truth." Theodore says.

That bitch. I'll kill him.

"That we were talking? Nice." Tom says.

Thank god.

"Oh. Sorry, I just thought- you did something else." Theodore says.

"We didn't. You need to trust more your sister." Tom says.

"Yeah, forget it." Theodore says.

"Bye." Tom says, before Theodore closed the door.

He looked at me and I gave him a 'told you' look, before he walked away to his room.

I was sitting on the bed reading a new book when someone knocked at the door.

"Yes?" I ask, going to open the door, seeing Draco.

"Dinner." he simply says.

"Yeah, coming." I say, leaving the room.

I waited in the hallway for Tom while Draco called everyone else.

"Going to eat dinner?" I hear Theodore ask.

I looked for curiosity and saw him with Ellora.

"Don't really have an option." she says.

What does that mean?

We went downstairs and started to eat dinner.

"How is school going?" Narcissa asks, not to anyone specific.
