!2003: 07, !incomplete, draco malfoy, theodore nott

WHO: Draco Malfoy & Theo Nott
WHAT: Draco visits Theo
WHERE: St Mungo's
WHEN: Monday evening
WARNINGS/RATING/STATUS: Unbalanced Theo/PG-13?/Incomplete

In a place where the time was structured regimentally, but where the spaces between showers and - in Theo's case, forced - meals seemed to stretch on for days. Theo spent a lot of his time when he wasn't talking to things that weren't there, writing on the walls or fighting his nurses against eating just asleep, drifting in a bad fog of forgotten events and made up dreams that didn't differ greatly from his reality.

Greg came and went through Theo's days like a both familiar and unknown ship skirting a lighthouse; sometimes the light of Theo's awareness would alight on him and his visit would be received happily, but more often than not, Theo's mind was dark and lost in the night and he had to be reintroduced all over again. The visits left him unsettled, disturbed like dust that had lain still, gathering for years until someone came along and wrote a name into it - it was like Theo could recognise the letters but he couldn't make out the word.

He was semi-sedated and seated on the floor in the corner of his room, writing on the walls with a blunt pencil, marks and runes that would have done damage had he still been allowed use of his wand. Apparently, wherever his mind was right then he thought he needed the protection, but that wasn't really uncommon with this patient.

Theo twitched at the mention of dead men and moved as Draco did, drawing his knees up to his chest, wrapping his arms around them and resting his chin on them, the way he'd been found before he'd ever been put here.

He just couldn't process the idea that his father was dead, nevermind the fact that his hand had done it, and he shut down at the mention of it, not responding to anything anymore.

	Draco sighed and looked down at him, knocking at the door for the orderly to come and let him out of the room. He'd obviously broken Theodore for the time being... and quite without wanting to. He had no idea how Gregory was going to help Nott at Hogwarts. (Reply to this) (Parent)
