Addi was wandering. The past week had been absolutely crazy. For one, everything with Edmund was a mess, but now it was getting better. And then Theodosia was currently trying to break the both of them down for whatever reason she may have. Her and Edmund had a great time at the feast, somewhat flirting and holding hands, and then he was teaching her how to dance and it all came crashing down because of one thing she said about Kyle. But, then they made up and now they we're dating but Addilyn had to keep it all in and not tell anyone. Edmund needed time before he told his family, but she didn't know how much longer she could keep it a secret.
The other good thing that had come from all of this was that Grey had finally apologized to her. He wanted to become closer to her, just as she had wanted this entire time and it made her feel great. As she had all of this mumbo jumbo floating around in her brain, her feet had brought her to a corridor on the first floor. She didn't know what she was doing, she was had so much on her mind and no one to spill it to. Addi leaned up against the wall, and slid down it, her legs crossed out in front of her. She stared at her shoes, thinking.

The Monsters walk among us The weather today was great. Grey had spent the majority of his morning outside on the grounds, sleeping; something that he had found to be easier the past month or so. His insomnia was still present, but he felt that it was finally starting to go away. All those late nights staring at the ceiling and wandering the halls would hopefully be coming to an end. In the meantime, he had used any free time he had sleeping elsewhere; outside, in the library, in class, pretty much anywhere actually. Feeling like a new man, and a hungry one at that, Grey had wandered back into the castle looking for food, only to be disappointed that there wasn’t any out in the Great Hall. Somehow he had slept through lunch. Cursing his internal clock and stomach for not waking him up on time, he decided to go back up to the Gryffindor common room to see if anyone had left food or candy out. Typically that was a bad idea, since they were either hexed or some kind of prank, but his stomach didn’t discriminate against any kinds of food. At this point in time, anything was fine. Barely missing a stairwell to the first floor, Grey decided to backtrack and see if there was an easier way to go up floors. He hadn’t spent a huge amount of time on the first floor over the years, simply because it was just a transition floor to the Great Hall. The only time he was there was for Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he was usually half asleep during that. Hands stuffed in his pockets, Grey slowly walked through the hallways looking for an alternate route. Instead, he turned a corner and found his sister sitting on the ground in the middle of the corridor. All he could think about as he approached her was how that was a strange place to sleep. Not that he was one to talk about strange places and sleeping. Grey was practically the master of that. Naturally it would be a skill Addi had as well. “What are you doing there Addi?” Grey said as he stared down at her. “Sleeping here is asking to get messed with if you ask me. Come on, Slytherin common room isn’t that far away right?” Crouching down, Grey offered his hand to help her up. Doing so, he noticed that she wasn’t asleep, but just staring at the floor. Waving his hand in front of her face, he tried to get her attention. “Earth to Addilyn. You there? Everything ok?” It was kind of strange to see the normally peppy and energetic little girl so quiet and sullen looking. What could have possibly happened this early into the school year to cause her to be like this? MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

She heard footsteps nearing her. It wasn't like she didn't care...but she really didn't care. Which was weird, Addilyn always cared. The steps got closer, and she kept her eyes resting on her shoes. The voice that rang around her ears was a comforting one, and out of everyone in this school, she was unbelievably relieved that it was Grey. She didn't think she could deal with any other person right now, other than Edmund but even then, Addi just wanted her brother. He thought she was sleeping, but alas, she was just staring. Addi saw his hand as he waved it in front of her. Glancing up, she forced a smile out.
"Hi Grey...how are you?" She tried to keep the subject off of her, however she wasn't sure what Grey would do. There was definitely a change in their relationship as brother and sister, she just wasn't sure how much of a change. And even then, Edmund had told her not to tell anyone...but Grey was her brother. She could trust him, right...? Edmund was a happy topic, however Theodosia...Addi would cry talking about what happened. She had tried her hardest not to while her and Theo were conversing, and that was difficult. Now with her brother there to possibly hug her, she'd probably just break down.

The Monsters walk among us Based on the smile Addi gave him when she looked up, there was definitely something wrong here, Grey just wasn’t sure what it was yet. He had become somewhat of an expert on the fake smile thing, having done it so often to his family in the past. Grey wasn’t one to pry into other people’s business too much, but she was his sister after all, and he was trying to do the whole brother thing better now. Moving around Addi, he leaned up against the wall next to her, eventually sliding down into a sitting position. He had a feeling this could be awhile. The one thing he had always striven to do was help others out, and the best place to start was with family. “I’m doing fine. A little hungry because I just woke up. Other than that, everything is going smoothly.” Grey wasn’t exactly sure where to go from there. He didn’t want to ask her how she was and make it worse, whatever was going on, but at the same time it seemed like she was being hesitant about talking. “How’s school going so far? I feel like I haven’t seen you around too much.” It had only been a week into school so far, so that was to be expected, They were both probably getting used to new classes and schedules, as well as meeting up with friends. Grey had the newspaper to deal with, getting it back up and running every year was always a tiring ordeal. Add to that a huge increase in club membership, and well, he felt like he was running around with his head cut off half the time. No wonder it seemed like it had been an eternity since he had last seen Addi. Still concerned, he decided to take a stab at it regardless. “Are you ok? Something seems…different.” He wasn’t exactly sure what it was that had made her like this, but it bothered him a lot. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Addilyn watched as her brother walked next to her. She didn't watch enough to see what he was doing, but she heard him slide down the wall and saw his long legs extend much farther than hers. He had quite a few inches on her, even though they were only a year apart. He had mentioned he was sleeping...sleeping? Goodness what time was it? She gave him a look, her brows scrunched together. "You know, Grey, you should sleep nights not days." She let a small, real smile out. Her sarcasm made her laugh, so she hoped he knew she was just kidding.
"School's...okay. The academic part, of course." She twirled her fingers. She wasn't dressed in her robes that day, she looked like a normal teenager so she was out of sorts a bit; jeans, converse, and a maroon colored t-shirt. Addilyn grabbed a small lock of hair that fell off her shoulder and she played with it. She knew they hadn't seen one another, and it upset her. This was the time when she wished she was in Gryffindor with him, not because of Edmund, she never would have met him had she not been sorted into Slytherin. But because of Theodosia. Grey asked if she was alright and Addi took a deep breath. Her eyes met his and she looked down at the ground, biting her lip, thinking of what to say. "Just certain people, Grey. I don't understand how they can be so cruel..."

The Monsters walk among us He laughed along with her comment about sleeping during the day. Grey had sure as hell done his best to sleep at night, but sometimes it just didn’t work. Today was one of those ones where he just happened to get tired while laying outside, despite having a good night’s rest. At least he was trying to make a change. Becoming an Auror after graduating was going to be physically taxing, and sleep was the best way to recover. It was in his best interest to sleep better before then. Listening closely to Addi, Grey tried to grab at what was bugging her. She answered that school was going well, so that was good. The weird thing about it was that she emphasized the academics bit. Grey knew she did well in school, their parents made sure of that, but why did she have to put it that way? Contemplating this longer, there was a brief pause in their conversation. He wasn’t exactly sure what to ask yet. Grey assumed that if her classes were going fine, but school was only okay, then that meant there was still something wrong. The only thing he could come up with was that she had issues with another student. He looked down at her as she played with her hands. It was obvious that she was holding something back; Grey figured this meant she was debating telling him or not. Before he could inquire though, Addi continued, confirming his suspicions. Cruel and downright nasty students being at Hogwarts was not uncommon. Grey had encountered his share of bad eggs over the years. He had been on both sides of the spectrum too, sometimes becoming rather irritated when people pestered him, giving off an air that wasn’t the normal him. On the flip side, those that approached him with the intent of bullying never won, he merely brushed them off because they weren’t worth his time. Usually that did the trick. But if someone was being cruel to Addi, that was a completely different story. Grey found it hard that anyone could outright dislike her. The thought of that possibility just didn’t sit right with him. That meant there was one other likely suspect: a close friend or a relationship that went wrong. He didn’t recall hearing about any boys from her over the summer or the brief instances they had seen each other so far this year. To say he was confused was an understatement. “Was it a boy? Because I can always make him apologize for hurting you.” Grey was sure he could be quite intimidating if he wanted to, and it definitely would me a mistake if they tried to fight him.

Addilyn looked up at Grey when he asked if it was a boy. She laughed. He looked so concerned and angry, she thought it was cute and funny. But she shook her head. "Well there is a boy... Two boys sort of. One is great and the other might've hurt me..." Addilyn didn't know if she should even mention Kyle to Grey, or if she should mention Edmund to think of it. He told her not to, and she'd try her hardest not to, but she needed someone to talk to and Grey was here, actually asking if she was okay. Railynn had said he wouldn't mind, but... It was his best friend. However he may be happy that she isn't planning on going for him...
"It's actually... Just some girl in my house." Addi didn't even know how to go on. This was horrible, what happened was horrible.

The Monsters walk among us Grey’s eyes opened up wider as Addi mentioned that there was two boys, and one of them could have possibly hurt her. The way she put it didn’t seem like that was the issue at hand though. She had laughed at his inquiry, so he took that as a sign that things were at least going okay on that front. It still concerned him that one of these boys might have done something to harm her. Grey had always assumed that teenage boys would grow out of their immaturity by the time they were graduating, he surely had in most cases, but there were still a few out there that hadn’t and they were a nuisance to the entire school. Grey secretly hoped it wasn’t one of those kids, and more of a strange love triangle thing, that seemed to be easier to deal with, at least according to some muggle films he had watched. Still, he was interested in knowing who these two boys were, especially since Addi said that one of them was great. “So…” Grey started. He started to feel like he was their father, asking about how classes went for the school year. A strange comparison, yes, but he didn’t know how else to go about it. “…what are their names?”Right as he finished asking, Addi piped up and said that there was a girl in her house causing the problems. Grey’s throat caught as he was about to speak. This was territory that he had absolutely no experience on. He had always had great times in Gryffindor, and everyone seemed to get along well with each other. If there were inner-house problems, people seemed to figure it out eventually. He could see how that might be different with Slytherin though. For every good student in Slytherin, there seemed to be someone that had a little quirk about them that made them unbearable. Grey had done a decent amount of time trying to get to understand the differences between the Slytherins, because it seemed to him that there were rifts inside the house, Addi now confirming that. Whatever this girl had done, it was enough to cause Addi to not be herself, and coming from the same house meant that she couldn’t even be comfortable in the dorms. Grey couldn’t even imagine what that had to feel like. Taking a deep breath and collecting his thoughts, he decided to approach the issue. There wasn’t much he could really do without asking her, and hopefully getting to the bottom of it. “This girl, whoever she is, might have just made the biggest mistake of her life. So start from the beginning. That way I know the extent of it and how to help.”MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

As Grey's eyes opened wider, Addi couldn't help but let out a smirk. He was being so weird...and maybe it wasn't weird. Maybe it was sweet, because Addilyn has never had the chance to ever experience this side of Grey before. Old Grey was so...quiet and lonely. New Grey, well, he was concerned and happy. And Addilyn loved new Grey.
She kept silent for awhile, not mentioning their names. She didn't know how she felt about telling him, so she figured she'd take a jab at starting out with Theodosia. That would be best, right? Addilyn took a deep, shaky breath. She looked into Grey's eyes, and tears automatically welled up in her eyes. "I was in Moaning Myrtles bathroom washing my face to wake up, and she came in and started calling me names and then...then she burst the pipes and she started making fun of Edmund and it really got to me and then she cast a spell and froze my body and I couldn't do anything and she held me down so I almost drowned in the water and made me apologize for being me and the water was almost up to my mouth and -" She couldn't finish. Her explanation, along with a river of tears, was too much for her, and she rested her head on his shoulder. She doubted Grey understood any of that, but it was something she had to tell someone. And that someone was here.
Her sobs stopped, but as she tried to catch her breath she glanced up at her brother. She knew at this moment she could tell him, and that he wouldn't judge her and he wouldn't tell anyone. "Grey, don't get angry, please? I don't want you angry with me...but the one who hurt me is Kyle...and the one who I'm... dating is Edmund Windsor." Oh goodness, don't let him be upset about Kyle.

The Monsters walk among us Grey could feel a rush of adrenaline start to pump through him as Addi explained what the other girl had done to her. He had to bite down on to the inside of his cheek to keep himself from immediately asking this girl’s name. This was more than cruelty, it was downright torture. Making her apologizing for being herself? He couldn’t believe that a sicko like that was allowed to walk through these halls freely. To add to that, Addi’s crying showed just how awful the situation had been, and Grey didn’t need to hear the rest of it. That was all he needed to know. This girl had picked a target, whoever the Edmund guy was, and Addi had somehow gotten into the middle of it. Apparently sticking up for one’s friends didn’t sit well with this bully. But holding her down with a spell and attempting to drown her? That was a new level of bullying Grey had never encountered at Hogwarts. Sure, students had squabbles here and there, and they were eventually resolved in a duel or a fist fight. The nastier ones never went much past that though, and general disdain was taken out with petty pranks and passive aggressive arguments here or there. To actually try and hurt someone though, that was dark. There was nothing right about that, no matter what the cause for it was. Trying his best to calm her down, she eventually stopped crying and answered his first question: who the boys were. He honestly didn’t care about them too much at this point, because there was a much larger problem presented in front of them, and the boys she was dealing with weren’t too much of his concern anyways. Except for the part where the two boys were Kyle, the one that apparently hurt her, and this Edmund fellow that she mentioned earlier, who she was…dating? Confused, Grey was going to ignore the bit about Kyle and instead ask about Edmund, but he stopped before he could, remembering that there was an issue recently with Kyle. He had made mention that he held a general dislike of Slytherins to one of his housemates, Jamie Greyback. Grey had run into Jamie over the summer break and they ended up discussing this, Grey then met up with Kyle before the school year and had a long talk about the Slytherin ordeal with him. He could definitely see how if Addi had caught wind of this, it could hurt her, but it wasn’t like she was that close to Kyle in the first place. The only interactions the two ever had, as far as he knew, were usually in close proximity with Grey. Plus Kyle had always been nice to her. “If you think Kyle hates you because you’re a Slytherin, well, that’s absolutely false. I can guarantee that.” Grey paused, not really knowing what else to say. Kyle had history with a former Slytherin, one of the nasty ones, and that was pretty much all Grey knew about his reasoning for all of it. “That girl…the one who attacked you, she’s the type of Slytherin that he hates. I think to understand that, you’ll have to talk to him about it though. It’s not right for me to.”After giving his two cents on the Kyle bit, Grey sighed. This whole thing seemed to come back over and over again. It was kind of annoying really. Poor Kyle must have been going through hell dealing with it all the time. Grey smiled at Addi, showing that he wasn’t mad about any of it. He hoped that she would approach Kyle about all of it, because he was really the only one that could explain it the right way. “So this Edmund…the two of you are…dating? Is that the same one that the girl attacked you about?” A lot of this was starting to make sense to him now. It sounded like the mean girl went after Addi because she was dating this Edmund guy. Grey could only imagine that the bullying was going to continue as long as she was seeing this boy, and it would continue to escalate if someone didn’t do anything. He knew the best option was if he intervened as soon as possible. If he could scare the girl straight, then it could just end there. Anything more than that, and then they would need to seek help from professors. “Listen, Addilyn, you remember the fable the Lion and the Mouse right? Where the lion lets the mouse go because it’s unworthy prey, only for the lion to be saved from hunters by the mouse later? That story is about mercy bringing a reward. Well I’m that lion, and this girl is the mouse, and she isn’t going to escape me. It is going to be so worth it to crush her little world.”MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Addilyn looked at Grey as he spoke of Kyle. She knew they were best friends, but she hoped that if Jamie's words were true, that Grey would stick up for her. That would be the usual solution, right? For an older brother to make sure his family was okay over his friends? Addilyn didn't know if that was selfish or not. It definitely seemed it, but it didn't feel selfish. Not to her at least. It was something she'd have to think about if that day would ever come. "Well, from what I was told, he talks badly about us before Quidditch Matches...and," Addi took a deep breath, "And apparently, he's only nice to me because-because I'm your little sister..." Her voice had gotten quieter as she got to the end of her sentence. It was one of the worst things she had ever heard, and it was even worse to say it out loud. It had been running through her brain for a couple of days, and it was always putting a damper on her mood. Why would Kyle say that to anyone? Why wouldn't he like her, Slytherin on not? Addilyn knew she was a pretty decent girl, she was nice, sweet, and had a good sense of humor. So just because she wore a green snake on her chest, that meant she wasn't friend worthy? What would Kyle had done, had he not known Addi was Grey's sister? Would he had completely shunned her? These were the questions she wanted answered, but she was also wary of what she would even say. Addilyn hadn't shared with anyone but a few friends, and now Grey, of her feelings. It was something she's been thinking long and hard about.
Grey sighed and Addi scrunched her face up at him. Was he mad? What was he sighing for? She rose an eyebrow, and then he smiled at her. Addi smiled back softly, still wary of what he was thinking. Then, as if on cue, he mentioned Edmund. Ah, but why did that deserve a sigh? She gave a small laugh. "Yes...we are dating. And yes he's the same one. But, Grey, we haven't told anyone...so if you could...keep it quiet? Please?" Her green eyes looked into his. God, she hoped he wouldn't tell anyone. Edmund would have a meltdown and probably yell at her again. That was not what she wanted, not one bit. Their relationship so far was going so well, and Addi didn't want to do anything to ruin that.
Wiping her eyes and face again from tears, she sniffled slightly. Her eyes went to Grey as he began speaking. Addilyn gave her brother a small smile. "Grey...I really appreciate it, but I don't want you to get hurt. I want you to be safe..." She was concerned. Addi wasn't much of a dueler, and she just ignored Theodosia which didn't get her anywhere but almost under a pool of water. But Grey, he was different. He was important and special to her and she wouldn't know what to do if she heard that anything happened to him.

The Monsters walk among us Grey listened intently as Addi responded to each of his comments. Kyle first it seemed. This was starting to become a real hassle, one that was getting out of hand and beyond Grey’s control. At this rate, another sit down with Kyle might be in order. Whoever was spreading this around was omitting a good portion of information about his general dislike of Slytherins, Slytherins that definitely did not include Addi in the mix. “I can’t speak much from what he says during Quidditch matches, so that’s something you’d have to talk to him about.” Grey felt like this was only going to continue to go in circles without Kyle giving an explanation. Addi continued, hesitating when she explained that Kyle was only nice to her because of him. “No…no no no there’s absolutely no way that’s true.” He said shaking his head furiously. “He wouldn’t ask me about you all the time if that was the case.” Grey paused. “Who told you that, by the way?” Whoever was telling Addi all of this was intent on ruining Kyle’s reputation, and that wouldn’t sit well with Grey. Isolating Kyle from his few Slytherin friends was a good start though, and the person was succeeding at it too. And then came the boyfriend, this Edmund guy. Grey had never heard of him before, so that was possibly a good thing. He trusted Addi to find someone decent, and as long as she was happy with that choice, then he’d have to be content too. “Hey, as long as you’re happy, that’s fine with me.” It wasn’t like it was his right to tell her who she could and couldn’t date. Grey still wanted to meet the boy at some point, since that only seemed appropriate, being her older brother and all. “Of course I’ll keep it a secret.” He said laughing lightly. That was honesty the least of his worries right then. “But in exchange, promise me that if he ever does anything to you that you don’t like, you’ll tell me. I’m sure he’s a stand-up guy, but it’s just a precaution.” Merlin’s beard he sounded like their father now. Always warning Addi and Claire about boys and whatnot. Apparently he did take after their parents after all. Eventually Grey wanted to ask Addi about meeting Edmund, but now wasn’t the right time. The girl that was bullying her was still frustrating him beyond belief. Grey couldn’t comprehend how a person could be that cruel, since he had never really been to that point. She was definitely pushing his buttons though, and he didn’t even know her name yet. Following his statement about the fable, Addi gave him a smile. At least she was working through all of this. She was a lot tougher than he had made her to be. “I’ll be fine. I think this girl, what was her name again? She should be worried though. I want to meet her and see what she’s all about. What she did was one step too far.” He said trying to calm down a bit from earlier. It wasn’t a good idea to rush into a meeting while hotheaded. Grey needed to be able to think straight and react the proper way, especially if the girl tried to go after him too. If she could attack Addi seemingly unprovoked, then who knew what else she was capable of. And that scared him. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Grey shook his head and Addi kept her eyes low. She knew Grey was just sticking up for Kyle, at least that's what she thought. It wasn't like she wasn't taking what he said to heart, but her beliefs about Kyle were still pretty iffy at the moment. But one thing he mentioned stood out to her. Addilyn's eyes shot up to her brother's. "He asks about me?" What? Did he really? That was news to her. It made her feel good to know that. And then Addi gave Grey a sly look. "It was Jamie Greyback."
It made Addi smile to know that Grey wasn't too angry or overprotective over her. It still would've been nice had he been really overprotective, but his slight manner towards her and Edmund was still sweet. He laughed and she gave him a small smile. Addi shrugged. "I've got to respect him and his wishes! I just needed to tell someone, and you were the best and most important one I could think of." With another smile, Addilyn nodded her head at Grey. "Of course I'll tell you Grey, but you don't need to worry about Edmund. He's not like that...he's been my best friend since our first train ride."
Raising a brow at Grey, she gave him a 'you better be careful' look. Addi sat up straight and sat in a criss cross position. "Uh, Theodosia Washington." Her green eyes looked down at her fingers then back to him. She really hoped he wasn't going to do anything that was going to get her into more trouble.

The Monsters walk among us “Practically every time I see him, not that I think about it.” Grey had found it kind of strange that the few times he had met Kyle over the summer he would eventually ask about Addi. He had chalked it up to just another part of their conversation and to see how the family was doing. “Remember we went to Diagon Alley that one time over summer? I ended up meeting up with him while you were off with some friends, and he seemed really disappointed that you weren’t there. Kind of funny now that I think about it.” He had trouble figuring out what Kyle was thinking sometimes, usually about the more trivial day to day things. When it came to action and adventure, they were practically on the same wavelength, and Grey was fine with it that way. Still, he did find it hard to believe that Kyle disliked Slytherins as much as everyone else made it out to be. Grey had been friends with him the longest and had never really picked up on that before. And now Addi had to suffer because of it. Grey covered his eyes with his hand and sighed when she mentioned that Jamie was the one that told her about Kyle. The girl couldn’t give it a break could she? He really liked her too, and he knew that Kyle had tried to fix the issue between the two of them already. Jamie had said she was going to try and work on getting over it, or at least talk to Kyle again. Apparently she had gotten to Addi before any of that happened. “Like I said, I think you just need to talk to Kyle about it. He can explain everything better than I can.” He said, giving his sister a reassuring smile. That was pretty much all he could do about that situation right now. He kind of understood her reasoning about not telling him about her boyfriend. Everyone had a secret or two to themselves, hell, Grey still hadn’t even told his family about attempting the Auror training post-graduation. It wasn’t exactly a secret by any means, and if they asked him what he was going to do he wouldn’t hesitate to tell them. Besides, he figured Addi would have brought it up eventually once she was comfortable about talking about it. He was sure that the beginning stages of any relationship were awkward enough just between the couple, so adding in friends and family was definitely going to be nerve-wracking. Grey was relieved that Edmund was someone she trusted that much though, and a really close friend at that. “Well I’m happy for the two of you then. Hopefully I’ll get to meet him someday.” Theodosia Washington…he had never heard of her before, but if she was as nasty as Addilyn had made her out to be, then it wouldn’t be long before she was a household name. The only way to keep that from happening was if someone stepped in; someone like Grey. He didn’t intend to harm her, just give her a few tips on how not to get hurt. “What’s she like? That way I have an idea about how she ticks before meeting her.” Grey was still slightly scared that this Theodosia girl was potentially going to make things worse for Addi. Bullies operated differently than normal people did, what would seem rational for someone like him could elicit a completely opposite result from a bully. So far, it was sounding like that was what Theodosia was all about. There was a chance that no matter what he said, it wouldn’t get through to her. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Addilyn's eyes widened at her brother. Why hadn't she known any of this before? If she had, she probably would've been more keen on telling Kyle her feelings. Now that wasn't going to happen, not only because of how hurt she was previously by Kyle's words, but also because of Edmund. Their feelings for one another had soared in the past few weeks and Addilyn couldn't believe how happy he made her. But as for Kyle, she'd still like to be friends. And just because Grey told her that Kyle was interested in her a lot and wanted her around, maybe just meant he wanted to be closer friends, too. As of right now, she just needed to do what Grey said; talk to Kyle.
"I hope you can meet him soon, too...don't be too hard on him though, please? He has enough issues with his older brother." She had said it sweetly, hoping Grey wouldn't take it the wrong way. She knew he was interested in meeting Edmund, and it had to happen soon enough. There was no reason they wouldn't cross paths; yes Hogwarts was large and had tons of students, but it was bound to happen eventually.
Addi sighed, thinking about Theodosia. What's she like? A horrible person. She chuckled softly. "Well, she's definitely something else. She has black curly hair, around my height, she's a fifth year. She does not like being ignored, and she also hates 'filthy half-bloods' as she called me." Addi gave her brother a concerned look. "Please, whatever you do, be careful."
