A Badger With All The Snakes

Chapter Twenty Four

Maddie watched as Mattheo paced around his room, clutching at his chest, running his hands through his hair, trying to slow his breathing.
MJ walked in front of him, taking his face in her hands, using a calm voice, just like she did on the train.
"Mat, look at me. You're okay. I got you, I'm not letting you go. I got you." Mattheo now had tears streaming down his face. Maddie guided him to
his bed, she wrapped her arms around him tightly, placing a kiss on his forehead, running her fingers through his hair. Through choked sobs Mattheo managed to slow his breathing just enough for him to get oxygen that he desperately needed.
"I miss her Maddie. I want my sister back."
"I know, I know you do. If there was a way that I could find her and bring her to you to end your pain and Tom's I would." Mattheo's sobs had lessened to slight sniffles.  A knock on Mattheo's door caught the attention of the two of them. The door opened to reveal Tom. He walked in, closing the door beside him, then making his way to his brother and Maddie.
The three of them sat there in silence for a few minutes until Tom spoke up.
"I think I know where we can find her."
Mattheo sniffled again, Maddie summoned a tissue and handed it to him. He thanked her silently, clearing his throat, Mattheo turned toward his brother.
"How?"
"St. Mungo's. They would have a death certificate if she was dead."
"If they don't? If we can't find her? What happens then?"
"We keep looking. We promised her that we would find her and bring her home."
"Then let's go to St. Mungo's." Tom and Mattheo turned to Maddie.
"We can't just leave."
"I can owl my parents. They can take us, we ask whoever is in charge of medical records, they would have certificates of death and birth."
"What about everyone else? We can't leave them here either. Draco will most likely kill Theo and Enzo. Blaise and Pansy will let it happen."
"True."
"I should probably apologize anyway for snapping at everyone."
"No need to."
"Fuck! Bloody bastards, you can't just sneak up on someone like that!"
"Sorry mate. If anyone should be apologizing, it's us. We should have known what today was. We're really sorry, we're shitty friends."
"Yeah, we were a bit unreasonable, it was just a joke. We are really sorry."
"I know. Thanks guys."
"It's what we're here for. Now, we couldn't help but overhear-"
"You mean you were eavesdropping?"
"No, overheard. We want to help find Emily. She's apart of our family too."
"First I have to get a letter to my parents."
