Who: Millicent Bulstrode & Theodore Nott
What: I guess talking even though she's harbouring anger!
Where: Library & then elsewhere, I know she'll get up at some point.
When: Tuesday afternoon.
Rating: PB-13(Millicent has a nasty mouth sometimes.)
Status: Incomplete

On this day, she was stressed about studying and her own personal well-being had been thrown out the window. Millicent was sure all her studying, lack of eating, lack of doing things fun and constant, even religious studying would bring her close to an apprenticeship in the Department of Mysteries after school. The black haired girl wrote somewhat scribbled, ugly notes that only she could read. The long hours of study had finally broken into her mind and she took a break by closing her eyes and rubbing them with her pale palms.

Millicent was lucky to have the table to herself, it was that or someone would likely find her angry and nasty remarks if they had decided to sit at the usually four person table.

	Teddy was still feeling badly about Millicent being angry toward him. He really hadn't meant to be anything but a friend to the girl. Granted, he hadn't always agreed with the things she had done, but she was in his House and that meant something to Theodore Nott. Hence, when he saw sitting alone, he moved near her, whispering, "May I sit?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

Millie snorted out a breath like a riled up bull, she clearly didn't want him to sit next to her but didn't feel like arguing. At the moment she was preoccupied with rubbing her headache away, of course it wasn't doing a damned thing to help it; Millicent needed rest and food, not a rubbing. For what seemed like a month now, she blatantly avoided him, not speaking to him and turning away from him if she could.

Not now.

Millicent removed her hands from her eyes to acknowledge him,"Why? Don't you have other people you'd rather be sitting with who ARE your friends or your girlfriend?" Millicent narrowed her eyes and turned her head away, a part of her didn't want to be so cruel to him but there was no other way.

	Teddy resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Why did she always have to act like his wanting to be friendly was such a bad thing? "I don't have a girlfriend anymore, Millicent." His mouth twitched as he said that, but it was true. Hannah was gone. "And right now, I just want to talk to you. Please?" He looked around, hoping to avoid Madam Pince.

Millicent didn't keep up with people's lives and the last time that she heard about Theodore, she knew that he was with Hannah; Yes, she was out of the loop. The moment it dropped out of her mouth, she felt a twinge of guilt because she mentioned it so cruelly. Now she felt obligated to let him sit with her, so she huffed and gestured her hand to the seat across from her. "Fine, you can stay." But only because I feel bad. Millicent thought.

Unable to concentrate on studying, her hand closed her books and pushed them to the side. Millie couldn't think now, her focus was on Theodore across from her.

Merlin, her head ached.

Millie put her fingers gently into her black hair and rubbed her scalp with her cold fingertips in an effort to ease the on-going headache,"What did you want to talk about?" Her head cocked to the right, resting her head on her palm with her eyes half-shut. The expression seemed uninterested, but she found it was easier to keep a expressionless, tired gaze that to bother moving muscles in her face. "Before you start, I have a splitting headache, so it's not me not paying attention, okay?"

There. Attempt to be nice.

	Teddy shrugged, smiling sheepishly. "I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to make you not hate me anymore." He set his books out and readied his quill, but kept his eyes on Millicent. He looked almost playful and mischievous, like most good Slytherins. He really didn't want to leave Hogwarts with a house-mate hating him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ugh. Why was his smile so infectious? Is this his way of getting under her skin and make her not hate him? If Millie wasn't so set on trying not to smile and forgive him, she might have smirked already but refused. The girl leaned forward and plucked his quill out of his hands, stealing it for the moment so she could mess with it.

While her eyes were on the quill, her mouth turned to a frown and her eyes turned away from his face; Clearly, she was thinking of something. Millie's eyes darted around back and forth,"Well...I, kinda, I, don't know. It was really humiliating." Millicent kept her head down, some black strands hiding her face from most of his view.

Theodore caught her off guard.

Teddy blinked as she grabbed his quill, but he merely shrugged. A stolen quill was the least of their issues. She clearly needed something to do with her hands. So he simply kept smiling, knowing it was definitely something that helped him with most. "Why? I mean everyone gets sick." His smile faltered as his eyes took a concerned expression on. "What's so wrong with someone worrying, Millicent?"

Her fingertips stroked the feather tip with her thumb and index finger, trying to keep her hands busy on purpose so she could focus on anything that wasn't him. When his smile faltered, she felt less exposed but that ended the moment he ripped open her wound that made her remember that he was worried about her. Millie's hardened expression softened a little bit,"I don't need anyone to worry about me, I'm fine." Millie's voice didn't sound completely sure on that note, but she didn't say anything more.

Leaning forward, she continued to stroke the feather nervously, hoping her behaviour wasn't obvious,"I never needed it before." Millie pursed her lips.

	Teddy was good at noticing details and was pleased to see she softened, even if only a bit. "Needed a friend?" He cocked his head, watching her. He supposed most would have assumed as much about the girl, but didn't everyone need mates once in awhile? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Millicent's face hardened again at him, being the fickle being that she was couldn't help squirm uncomfortably at the words,"No, people to help me. I don't need it." Millicent was just lying to herself, her hands folded and unfolded nervously and went back to playing with his quill in her hands,"Theodore.." Millicent sighed, her eyes finding him and then turning away.

	"Yes?" He never quite knew what she would pop out with next and so he was nervous as he spoke. Still, his expression remained level and his eyes shone with kindness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Millie WANTED to say thank you, WANTED to tell him that she was appreciative and wanted to give him all her secrets and woes but refrained. Theodore's expression brought a feeling in her chest that she couldn't quite place but it made her want to get out of her chair and bolt to the dorms, but she stayed. Millicent figured telling the truth would be easiest, even though her voice wavered.

"I don't ....." Millie cleared her throat, spinning the feather more nervously than before, unable to get out what she wanted to say,"I don't need you to pick me up when I'm down. Okay?" Millicent's face was clearly upset, but she didn't say anything else, just lowered her head away from Theodore.

She snorted out a breath.

	Teddy didn't squirm though every inch of his body wanted to. Her expression seemed to say differently, but her words were pretty clear. Teddy didn't want to get hurt again, no matter how much he was worried about the girl. "Fine," he said slowly, "I am sorry to keep bothering you then." He shrugged, standing up. "Good luck on NEWTs, yeah?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He's leaving, Millie. Her conscious reminded her over and over.

Millicent's emotions were getting in the way and it upset her, she wanted to do everything but admit that she was feeling bad. When he moved to stand up, she suddenly reached out and grabbed onto his wrist but said nothing because there were no words that could possibly say what she wanted to. The last thing she wanted was for Theodore to leave her.

Millicent broke down a little bit for Theodore in hopes that he'd see whatever is that she wanted him to see.

	Teddy tensed as Millicent grabbed him, but in glancing back at her, he noticed the distress in her eyes. "Millicent? What is it?" Was she sick again? Oh Merlin, if she was what would he do? Forcing Millicent into the Hospital Wing had been what caused all the tension between to begin with! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Millicent didn't know what to do now that she exposed that she didn't want him to leave,".....Don't go...please." She was disgusted with herself, for admitting that she wanted him to stay and her grip was strong enough to make him stay lest he started struggling with her. Frequently, her eyes raised from his face to the table and she swallowed hard and sighed.

"Teddy, don't go.." Millie pursed her lips.

	To say Teddy wasn't shocked or a wee bit unnerved would have been a lie. He looked closely at Millicent for several seconds before slowly sitting back down. "Um, right then. I...I am still here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Millie was at a loss of words, why did she even do that just now? Merlin, she was daft. "You are not bothering me." Millie tried to be open for once, but her voice seemed hard and like it was difficult to speak. Growing unsettled, she bounced her right leg a little and her hand went into her black hair, moving it out of her face some. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, it didn't seem his presence was helping, that was for sure. Teddy felt guilty which showed when he looked down at his hands. "We should probably just get back to studying," he said finally. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Millicent wanted him to be calm, even though she wasn't; he was worried and unhappy. Outstretching her hand, she didn't say anything, Millie placed it on top of his hand and that was al she could offer him as much as comfort. The girl gave a small sigh and leaned forward, trying to offer what was a small smirk until her eyes fixated on her book.

"My eyes hurt. I don't want to."

	Teddy wondered if they hurt because of studying or because of something far worse, but he didn't dare ask. At least not then; he didn't want to push his luck. "Yeah? How long have you been reading?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Millie curiously stroked her thumb, only once, against the top of his hand for a second and looked back at him for some sort of reassurance that it wasn't wrong. Her hand pressed against her cheek, kind of with a lazy look on her face,"A little more than a few hours, I want to get really good marks before I leave school. I don't have anything better to do."
