Greg Goyle (a_reticent_git) wrote in wished,

Greg let out a large exhale, not realizing he'd been holding his breath and he fell back in his chair, his mouth open in utter shock.

"Killed him? He killed his da? Theo did it?!" and Greg looked opened mouthed at Snape as he went on about Greg's position. Greg could only nod blankly at first, still stunned at the news. It all made sense. It all fit in that irrational sort of way: the delirium, the babbling, the references to rules and his dad and all of it. Theo had done it. How, Greg didn't have a clue, but it must have been a face to face thing, and the act had made Theo's mind snap.

Greg came round as Snape mentioned a job, "Yes, well, a job would be bloody brilliant. Something outside, working with my hands. Blokes mentioned construction or something but I don't know," Greg said as he sat up in the chair, his brows still knitted slightly, "I am better at doing things with my hands I've found," he added, looking at Snape as he thought, "I suppose I'll have to wait to go for that custodialship thing after I get a job. A job will help with the house too, and my mum. Did I mention she's the reason I got out early? So I could help support her? Seems Da went through most of the Goyle money before he passed and she's been having a devil of a time...," and Greg stopped himself. He knew his old Head of House enough to realize that he wouldn't want to hear the drivel about the Goyles' lives.

He cleared his throat, "So I'm to get a job, and then get him out? I've come here because, well, Sir, there has to be something to help his state of mind," and Greg brightened visibly, "If he did kill his Da, if Theo did it, then wouldn't getting that memory out of him help him? Maybe give him a chance to be sane for a bit? I thought you might know about stuff, potions and things, that might help his nerves as well," and Greg let his voice fall, thinking about what Snape had told him again.

The very thought of Theo killing his father filled Greg with some unnamed emotion and to his utter horror, Greg found his eyes filling, and he realized with growing terror, that he was close to tears.

Here. In front of Severus Snape.

Greg rubbed a hand at his eyes, "No wonder he's gone natters. He's gone round the bend, and I've all that he has, Sir."
