Some people were apparently destined for painful lives. She and Tony had already gone through the horrid awkwardness of having a shared brother, the pain of split families, only to have two pieces of theirs come back together, and now something else had gone wrong. Zara, Tony's older sister, and certainly the one he was closer to, had been in some kind of 'accident'. She knew it had affected Jacob to some degree, too, but he hadn't said enough about it for her to be worried. Tony, on the other hand...

His journal had her worried, and despite knowing that they weren't a couple, weren't dating, and logically couldn't date- what with their parents moving in together- she was hurrying over to the Slytherin common room. Maybe he wasn't her boyfriend, but she couldn't help but care about him, be concerned about him. She didn't like the way it sounded as if he was blaming himself for what had happened to his sister when it was obvious there was nothing he could have done.

Perhaps she was more concerned because she didn't like to think that it had been her fault, too. After all, Tony was with her on Halloween. Would he have been with his sister that night if it wasn't for her? What would have happened if he was? Would he be lying in the bed next to her? Piper quickly shook off that thought, however, as the entrance to Slytherin came into view. She had half a mind to try and sneak her way in, but thought better of it, lenaing impatiently against the wall as her fingers drummed a nervous beat against the stone.
