WHO Theodore Nott & Draco Malfoy
WHERE/WHEN The hospital, Theo's room.
WHAT A visit from an old friend.
RATING Low/Incomplete.
Two weeks he had been here and for two weeks he had felt himself slip in and out of sense. Sometimes he could not fight it, but sometimes he quieted things by forcing himself to sleep, or by reading the books that his mother had brought him, and letting his imagination drift off to where he was the hero in them, to where he was whole and full of the things that made people people. It was more than just a lack of memories; this he knew, and this he had always known. The healers had always known. Something had happened to him when he had his accident that affected more than just the faces he could drudge up from memory.
But what that something was, well, it was lost. Maybe it would always be lost. He felt awfully lost most days, and maybe if he stayed lost long enough, he would find the missing pieces of him, and as two they could return to his normal life, whatever that had been.
He didn't know many of the people who had written to him last time. Sometimes he still thought he was imagining all of it, that he was still back home in St Mungo's, but he decided that if this was the end of his sanity and the height of his madness, at least it came with a soft bed and a warm meal every now and again. And even if his mother was a figment of his mind, she was here, and she talked to him, and that calmed him.
Someone named Draco had wanted to come visit him, though, and though Theodore was embarrassed by being seen as he was now, a mad man in an infirmary ward, he was admittedly curious about anyone who claimed to have known him before. He was hesitant. Conversation was not his strong point, but he didn't want to push people away, either. Maybe Pansy had explained it. He liked Pansy. And if she was Draco's friend, then maybe he would like him, too.
