Five minutes after I had left the room of requirents, I ca back in.
What? I'm not just gonna leave and not co back. That would be even more suspicious. I had talked to her about the room yesterday and I had told her that I'd co again today.
Besides, since the situation has turned out like this, I need to go and...you know, comfort her.
As I entered the room, I saw her kneeling on the floor with her head looking down. Her hair, which had turned mousy brown, were covering her face. 'Why the hell hasn't she moved yet?'
I activated occluncy for proper emotion control. I was genuinely getting worried and feeling guilty now.
"Dora? Sorry I'm a bit late. I couldn't leave untill the common room was empty." I said in a cheerful voice as soon as I entered the room.
"Dora?! Hey! Why are you on the floor? What happened?!!" I asked frantically in concern as I ran straight to her kneeling form.
"Hey," I said as knelt down in front of her and gently placed a hand on her shoulder. "Talk to . What happened?" I gently raised her chin.
Her face still had so tear stains and she finally looked at . I was, by now, ntally kicking myself for thinking that this could just be a 'funny' prank. She had so serious issues with that na.
She looked at my worried expression for a mont and I squeezed her shoulder a bit to comfort her.
As I was about to say sothing-
She suddenly hugged . Like she literally started to squeeze the air out of .
'This girl...' I thought in surprise I as put one hand on her head while I ran the other hand on her back soothingly.
'Would she ever react like I the way I expect her to?'
'But well' I thought I also hugged her. 'This works just fine for .'
"It's alright. I'm here. You're ok, right? Tell , who made you cry? I'll help you take revenge that bastard." I said.
I feel like I really deserve a beating right now. But really man, she must never find out that it was . I think I'd be put on the sa list as death eaters in her view. It was supposed to be an even milder plan than the one she was about to pull off. Well, I can only make it up to her.
"It's alright. I'm fine." She said as she sighed into my embrace. Her voice was a bit hoarse from screaming. Then I felt her shoulders starting to shake.
'What the f*ck? Is she crying again now?'
But then I heard her chuckling to herself.
'She's actually laughing now? What's up with this unpredictability?'
"Why are suddenly laughing now?"I asked, a bit irritated and a bit relieved.
'Is it that ti of the month for her?' I thought to myself.
"No." She said. Her voice had so amusent in it. "I'm just happy to see you getting all flustered and worried for ." She said. "It's cute."
*Headshot!*
"....."
*Sigh*
"Dora. I was worried, ok? You were just kneeling down there like sothing horrible had happened to you. I might not an much to you, but you an a lot to . I don't have many people I care about, in this world." I said to her, trying to sound sad as I tightened my embrace on her.
All I said was true. I didn't interact with many people untill now and aging potion doesn't give you hormones, so I didn't have any urges, if you catch my drift. And I really do care about her since I've had a crush on her ever since I saw her at the Tonks's ho last ti. And...It doesn't feel good. You know, being treated as a child by soone you're romantically interested in.
Dora stilled in embrace as she heard .
'Yeah, you should just give up giving critical hits. I always have to return sothing back.'
She must be feeling bad now.
"I'm sorry! I didn't an it that way." She said as she now hugged like she was the one comforting instead to taking comfort.
She then hesitantly asked, "Who are the other people you care about?" She must be curious.
'Oh....a bit personal, but I'll tell her as much as I can since she's shown interest.'
"You don't have to feel bad for . I've been doing fine on my own. I used to have the muggleborn Grandma take care . I told you about her yesterday. She had taught enough for to be able to live on my own. But." I paused as I sighed. "She passed away."
"So.... now, in this world, I only care about you and Harry."
The last line was true. But I can't have her asking to et this kind, old, imaginary grandma. So, she had to die.
'Goodbye imaginary grandma, you were very helpful in explaining my advanced knowledge and maturity.'
Dora was now hugging the life out of . Even I feel sorry for myself after putting it all that way.
'Should I go for the kill right now, or is this enough guilt for treating as a kid.' I thought as I had another card to play but I was hesitating.
'What should I do?' I thought to myself.
