after the christmas break of their second year, theo came back to hogwarts being extremely quiet, he moved different too, and he was afraid. it was just so strange. sure theo was always quiet, but he came back with a different kind of quiet, something that was worrying and darker than his usual mood. it took a week for the three of them to notice, but when they did, they searched desperately for the cause of theo’s silence.
blaise
took another week to find it out, purely by accident, when in front
of him he could see the angry marks of purples and blues down theo’s
back. so that was it, theo’s quietness was carved
onto him by displays of violence. and like that, it was after the
christmas break of their second year, the three of them promised to
each other to never, ever,
leave theo alone with his father.
the
problem was, it turned to be difficult to keep an eye on theo during
christmas time, because
it seemed to be that time of the year when being with the family was
mandatory, where keeping an eye on theo, and most importantly keeping
him safe from his father, seemed impossible. but it wasn’t for pansy,
because out of the three of them, she was the one who was more
detached from her family.
