Nott, I
Astoria's veins ran cold at Tracey's look. She wanted this to happen, perhaps even needed it. She was willing to let Theo take the fall, to suffer for something she knew he hadn't done. Who was she to say that Theo was the better choice for sacrifice? Who was she to put that burden on his shoulders? Astoria never hated anyone more than she hated Tracey in that moment. It was the ultimate betrayal and for that there would be no forgiveness.
Astoria sneered, eyes dark with rage as she spat on the ground next to her. Turning her head sharply and in dismissal of Tracey. She never did something so uncouth in public before but it was the only way she could express her disgust towards the girl in that moment. She was done with her, her attention now would only be on Theo. She'd be strong for him at this time. She would stay in her knowledge that he was innocent. She would sit outraged at the sacrifice he shouldn't be making. He didn't deserve to be here and never for a moment would she accept this. She was a true friend to him, even if others failed when it truly counted.
When his trial finished and Blaise's trial started she would leave. If only the furious shaking would stop by them. She sought out Theo's eyes, posture stern and straight as she looked at him. "You're innocent."
