Potions | | Theodore Nott

Draco Malfoy POV

"I don't know what to do." I admitted to my friends. "Theo needs me, but so does Dani."

"Daniella did this to Theo." Adrian pointed out. "She's the one who wrecked him."

"Don't say that, Pucey." I warned him. "She is going through a lot, and I know for a fact that she didn't want to break up with him."

"I get that... but she still did." Adrian said.

"You can't blame Daniella for this, for what is going on with Theodore." Blaise said.

"Speaking of Theo... where did he go?" I asked my group of friends, excluding Theo from the group as he was not there.

"After your sister ran out, I'm pretty sure he went to the Astronomy Tower for a smoke, it's where he usually goes." Mattheo stated.

Daniella had run off after seeing Theodore in the Great Hall, and I don't blame her. He also ran off, all the way to the Astronomy Tower. Daniella's friends waited for a while before following after her, going to check on her and see if she was alright.

However, me and my friends stayed behind and went for our breakfast. We were going to have breakfast with Theo, but he had been previously freaking out and was about to run out of the Great Hall.

He did that after his brief interaction with my sister, so we went for our breakfast anyway.

"I'll go check on him later." I said, a heavy sigh falling from my lips.

"As I was saying, we can't blame Daniella for how Theodore is coping." Blaise went on to say. "There a lot more shit going on in his life that we have no clue about, but him and Dani breaking up simply just adds to the list of the shit he is going through, so I can't say that I don't blame him for how is acting."

Every one of my friends, including me, were already sympathetic for Theo, but this just made us all feel even worse for him.

Especially me.

I felt so bad for him.

I knew personally how he feels about the Dark Mark that was forced onto him, I get what he is going through. I also understand how he feels about the break up with my twin sister, because I too had to break up with the love of my life, Astoria.

I knew exactly how he was feeling, he had just been broken up with on top of all of the other shit he has to go through.

I just felt so bad for him, so bad.

Lorenzo Berkshire POV

I didn't know what to do, and I'm sure that some of my other friends felt that way, too.

It was a lot harder for me to deal with this entire situation because I had to share a dorm room with Theodore Nott, but Dani was my best friend.

Me and my other friends, Astoria and Cami, were currently sat in their dorm room, all sat on one bed. Cami was sat next to me and Astoria was on the other side of Camilla, the three of us sat there staring at the bed right in front of our eyes.

Our other best friend was lying in her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She looked lifeless, like she hadn't slept for days and she was so incredibly pale, like she hadn't eaten a thing for weeks.

Seeing my best friend like that, it was very slowly and secretly destroying me. I could not show that, though, because it would be seen as selfish for making her pain all about me, and not her.

Although I didn't want to speak up about how much it hurt me to see Daniella in this state, I knew for a fact that it hurt Camilla and Astoria to see her like that as well.

I was already in so much pain, I couldn't go back to my dorm and see Theo in such a bad state as well. Him and I aren't even close, but he is one of my friends and we have gotten a lot closer this year.

It would hurt me even more to see him like this, especially if he felt similar to how Dani was feeling.

Everything in the girls' dorm room was silent, only the sound of our breathing could be heard. That was until a muffled sob left my girlfriend's mouth.

Astoria and I turned to face Camilla, but she had just jumped up from her bed and run into the bathroom. She shut the door as quick as possible and locked it behind her.

Me and Astoria were left sat on Camilla's bed, the two of us completely unsure of what to do now.

Camilla was crying in the bathroom, her heart broken for her best friend because she was in such a bad mental state. She didn't know what to do with herself, she must have felt like such a bad friend for not being able to help Daniella in any way.

Daniella was broken in her bed, she wouldn't hear any of us if we tried to say something, and we knew that because each of us had already tried to talk to her. She would just lay there and stare at the ceiling, sometimes not blinking for several minutes.

I reached over and grabbed Astoria's hand, squeezing it tightly as our hearts silently broke into millions of pieces in their dorm room. She looked up and me and it looked like she was also about to cry, but she kept her cool and didn't break.

"It's gonna be okay." I whispered to me. "I know it will."

"You don't know that for sure." Astoria said quietly to me, shuffling over to me on the bed. "Daniella's not saying a single word to anyone, and Camilla's crying in the loo because of it."

"I know." I said with a heavy sigh. "I know, but I also know that everything works out in the end. Daniella will be able to push through this heartbreak with our help, and Cami is going to feel better once Dani does."

"I really hope you're right, Enzo." Tori said.

"I am, trust me." I told her.
