Characters: Benjy and Kira Fenwick (and just about everyone else)
Setting: Great Hall / Entrance Hall
Summary: Benjy and Kira have a sibling "discussion" about the events between Kira and Sirius.
Rating: Moderate, for potential language.

After "talking" with his sister the previous night over their journals, Benjy's brain wouldn't shut off and he was up all night trying to process through, well, everything. Needless to say, he was not exactly at his peak when he meandered down from the Ravenclaw Tower to get some breakfast.

More or less, he was running on autopilot, as was his usual when he was trying to work through something. To make matters worse, he was stuck at some conclusions that were impossible to accept. Kira was his sister and he loved her no matter what, but he was just so frustrated with her. He had to be there for her, but he couldn't bring himself to look at her. And he was hating himself for it.

And this is the loop that he found himself in while he began chewing a slice of bacon and staring off into the wall of the Great Hall. Deep down, Benjy knew that he needed to talk to Kira. She was, after all, the one in need of consoling. But he had no idea how to even approach her.

Any other day, every other day, Benjy would have run after Kira. But today, this morning, he couldn't.

He wasn't wrong in trying to point out that Kira's actions had been ridiculous. As far as Benjy could tell, Kira was fighting some personal battle to see just how far she could take a situation and still bounce back. Or perhaps, she was acting out those novels that she was constantly reading.

Even though Benjy stood by his intention, he was beginning to realize that his method of delivery was quite trollish. Mostly, this was pointed out by the many staring faces that Benjy had started noticing all around him.

And in an instant, every bit of anger Benjy was feeling turned in on himself. He had yelled at his sister, made her cry, and, to top it off, done both in front of most of the school. She was just trying to move on from what had happened, and he hadn't picked up on that. He had made matters much more worse.

So today wasn't all that different. Benjy stood up and walked out of the Great Hall, heading back toward the dormitories to see if he could try to make things right again.
