George stood there practically dumbstruck. He could feel the initial shock wearing off and was replaced by anger, " You love her," he guffawed, " Yet you've been treating her like shit since March!"

Fred was obviously not expecting this reaction, he stood there with his mouth slightly agape as George rounded on him, wagging his finger in a very Molly Weasley way, " I've stayed out of it but I think you need someone to tell you you've been a complete dick! Of course she didn't write you letters or really think of you, you know why?! Because her entire family could die at any moment and her mother wasn't getting any better! Her best friend is being targeted by a homicidal maniac and she's still in bloody school! Don't even get me started on how things have been since her bloody third year!"
" Finding out her supposed murderer of a father is innocent! Running from a werewolf! Saving a fucking convict via Hippogriff! Being harassed by Rita Skeeter! Fighting death eaters! Having words carved into her hand for talking out of turn! Worrying about her grandparents who are still to this day being targeted by bloody maniacs! Her drunk of a father who moped for two fucking years!"

" RUNNING AMOK IN THE DEPARTMENT OF MYSTERIES AND ALMOST DYING TRYING TO SAVE HER FATHER!  FIGHTING MORE DEATH EATERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHILE AT HOGWARTS! AND NOT ONCE HAS SHE WHINED!"

George was seething and had only stopped to catch his breath before jabbing a finger into his brother's chest, " AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO THINK ABOUT GETTING BACK TOGETHER WITH HER?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE HER FRIEND FIRST?! YOU NEED TO SORT OUT YOUR PRIORITIES!" he roared before storming past his brother and into the back room, slamming the door behind him

Fred was left standing there in the exact same position as he had been before George's rant. And a moment later he apparated to find Eurielle.
-
Eurielle had once again dragged Ginny out to see Theodore, and much to the girl's dismay she urged her to go shopping with Luna- whom she had also invited out- while she went and talked to Nott. After a few minutes of constant whining her friend allowed it.

The teen hurried down the familiar street and then to where he had been hiding for the past couple of days. Eurielle still didn't know all the details as to what happened and how he got away. But it seemed many people were looking for him, his Slytherin friends included.

Part of her wondered if it would be best to let Sirius and her mother know about Theo. But she didn't want to betray his trust, so here she was with a charmed bag full of magazines, books, and food.

' . . .beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair, ivory skin, and eyes of emerald green. . .'

Eurielle stopped in her tracks when she heard the familiar song and grinned evilly when she saw Theo's foot tapping along to Dolly Parton, " So!" she said loudly, startling him so much he sucked in a breath and began to hiccup violently.

" You stick your nose up at it yet you tap your foot and nod your head to it?!" she said with a false surprised tone, " I'm astounded!"

His pale face turned pink, " Wh- HEYUP,"
Eurielle snorted before reaching into the bag and grabbing a bottle of water. She threw it at him and he fumbled but managed to catch it.

She made herself busy with unpacking the bag, the sound of his violent hiccups and Jolene in the background.

She turned to his sad little sleeping bag where he sat chugging the water and frowned, " I'm sorry you have to be here," she said, taking a seat next to him, " But if we're going to do this I think you should tell me what happened,"

Theodore wiped his mouth with his sleeve, " I mean it wasn't hard. . . I just left- my father was arrested a while back so I was staying at home alone. I was supposed to stay at Draco's and take the mark as soon as I could," he sighed.
