Nott, I
Tracey knew. She could guess enough. Theo was up first. Melinda would have arranged that and where the fuck was she? Why wasn't she stepping in yet?
She also knew that Blaise's only hope of escaping the Kiss would be having someone else the Ministry could parade around as the offender. Sophia Zabini had not come through in time. Theo was taking this all upon himself.
It took everything she had not to speak out again. It was selfish and she hated herself for letting this happen. But Theodore's sacrifice was to her benefit. To Blaise's benefit. To Ae-cha and her child's benefit. Unless he and Blaise both suffered for it.
If he looked her way again, all she could do was mouth the words Thank you.
