Today had been a productive day for Tobias Watkins. He finished his assignments with time to spare, so he spent time with Lusie before dinner. There was something slightly off about today though. He hadn't seen Kinsey hardly at all. Usually he'd pass her in the hallway randomly between classes, or see her in the common room, but he hadn't seen her at all. Tobias had a feeling like she was hiding in her dorm so he didn't think too much of it. Well, until dinner...
It wasn't long until he overheard what happened to Kinsey at the dinner table.. She had 'fallen' from the Astronomy tower? That sounded bad. Toby immediately dismissed himself from the table before he was even able to grab a plate. He didn't have an appetite knowing that his best friend was in danger.
Toby rushed from the Great Hall and toward the Hospital wing as fast as his feet could take him. He was out of breath by the time he met the tall doors of the hospital wing. Toby didn't wait to be greeted by healers, scurrying straight for the line of beds with heavy feet. She was easy to find, considering Riley was at the side of the bed, sleeping beside her in a chair. Kinsey was laying in bed, covered in numerous cuts and bruises; she looked worse than he could've imagined. Toby quickly rushed to the side of the bed, "Kinsey..." he breathed, face faltering at the sight of her. The lanky Ravenclaw collapsed to his knees beside her bed and gently grabbed her hand, "You look--" he stopped in typical awkward Toby fashion, knowing she probably didn't want an honest answer there. "Are you alright?" he asked her carefully, the corners of his lips tugging downward.

Kinsey was so tired. Not only had she dealt with a duel and verbal combat with Priscilla, she'd been pushed down the astronomy staircase. Her body was healing, but still broken and Kinsey wanted to be done with the pain. It kept her from sleeping, which was more than annoying. The only good thing about it was that she was awake when her visitors came. She'd had a few since the attack, which was a bit gratifying in and of itself. Of course, Riley was her first visitor, and he wasn't leaving her side. She appreciated that he was there. Part of her was worried that if she fell asleep she'd get attacked again, but she knew Riley wouldn't let that happen. He was asleep right now, which Kinsey definitely considered a good thing. She didn't want to cause him any problems, since she already knew he had a hard time sleeping. So when he started napping a short while ago, Kinsey stopped talking to him and just closed her eyes for a minute. When she heard running footsteps, Kinsey's eyes opened instantly and turned toward the door. She recognized her best friend instantly, offering a small smile as he approached her. She knew Toby would be worried, but she didn't want him to be too worried for her. She was going to be okay. He looked personally hurt by her appearance, which Kinsey understood. The healers advised her when she woke up that she wouldn't want a mirror until they were done with the process. "It's that bad, huh?" she gave a faint smile, trying to lighten the mood, even though there was barely a chance of that. She nodded, then cringed at the pain, "I'll be okay Toby. They're giving me tons of potions and everything, just focusing on one thing at a time. I should get released sometime tomorrow." That was the plan. Most of the healing should take place before morning. She bit her lip nervously, "What's everyone saying?" It shouldn't matter to her, but it really did. How much of the story did people know? Or did they think that pathetic Kinsey Bainbridge threw herself down the stairs or something? She assumed Priscilla could say that anything happened to her. tobias charles watkins

A small laugh slipped from Toby's lips when Kinsey tried to lighten the situation, asking him if she really looked that bad. She was his best friend, so he wasn't afraid of being too honest or sugar coating things. Kinsey would know how he really felt anyways due to her ability, so he learned early on not to hide those emotions from her. Toby pulled a chair so that he could sit beside her bed, opposite of Riley. "When did everything happen?" he asked, before quickly adding, "I'm sorry I didn't come sooner, I just found out at the dinner table." he told her with a frown, biting down on his bottom lip. He was relived to see that Kinsey seemed to be in pretty good spirits, considering how awful her appearance was.
Toby was quiet for a moment when she asked what people were saying about her, he tried to remove the frown, but it was hard to hide emotion from his face sometimes. He sighed, shrugging his shoulders to feign nonchalance. Toby's mouth opened, and then snapped shut because he wasn't sure how to phrase it, "Well, the rumor mill is working overtime today...I overheard a girl saying that you fell from the Astronomy tower, and someone else saying you were attacked...I didn't stay around long enough to hear anything more because I went looking for you." he told her, feeling guilty that he wasn't there to help her. Toby scooted closer to his friends bed, not wanting to wake Riley by talking too loudly. "What happened, Kins?" he asked her, then his expression fell again, "Or- I will understand if you don't want to talk about it right now. That's okay too." Toby urged her with a sympathetic smile, he just wanted his friend to know that he is there for her. .

Kinsey shrugged when Toby asked when everything happened. "Just before last period started today." Which meant she'd been here a few hours, but that was okay. Riley was here so she wasn't alone, which made it all bearable, even if she hated the situation that led up to it and the fact that she was stuck in the hospital wing now. "Don't worry Toby. They probably wouldn't have let you in at first either. All the professors wanted to talk to me." Toby told her what everyone was saying and Kinsey nodded. That's what happened here at Hogwarts. Some sort of an attack, and everyone was talking about it, no one with the right story. She smiled when Toby said he didn't listen to the stories because he hurried here. He asked what happened and her stomach clenched ... but Kinsey wanted to tell him. She hadn't kept things from Toby, and she didn't want to start now. "Priscilla came to the astronomy tower while I was there." She glanced at Riley and spoke quieter. "She was mad about ... everything. I guess seeing my ring set her off, but she started attacking me and threatening to throw me off the tower." Kinsey shuddered, but she could be more real now that she was talking to a friend. "Toby, it was terrifying. I didn't want to attack her back so I just blocked her spells. Then the bell rang and students were coming up to the tower and I got distracted and she blasted me into the stairwell." Kinsey swallowed. "I hit the wall and passed out. I woke up here, all .. broken." she bit her lip for a second. "For a bit there, I thought I was going to die."

Toby couldn't believe the information that Kinsey was telling him. When she revealed that it was Prissy who had attacked her, for real, his eyes widened. "She will regret that." he threatened, shaking his head. Toby wished that he could help her, she looked so beat up and defeated. Toby was already thinking of ways to get back at Priscilla, she wouldn't get away with trying to kill his best friend! All of the information was sinking in, he could feel himself getting hot. Toby was actually mad. Kinsey could never get a break from life, it wasn't fair.
As Kinsey's expression faltered, biting her lip, he could see how vulnerable she felt talking about the situation. Toby leaned in to carefully wrap his arms around her for a hug, "Prissy is bloody mad. I'm glad that you're okay. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been okay. I need my best friend, mate." he told her honestly, releasing from the embrace and remained sitting at the side of her bed. "How are you feeling? Is there anything that you need?" he asked her, obviously concerned about her well being. This all felt so surreal.

Kinsey shook her head when Toby told her that Priscilla would regret attacking her. "No, don't do anything Toby. I don't want you to get in trouble," she insisted, nervous. The last thing she wanted was for him to get into trouble with the school, or with Priscilla. What if she hurt Toby too? Kinsey would not let that happen. Toby's hug felt so nice. Kinsey felt herself relax when he wrapped his arms around her. "Thank you Toby," she whispered. She needed him to know that she appreciated him and that she was happy he came back. "I'm okay. I'm going to be fine. I'll get better, I promise." Not that she really had a ton of control over that, but she was trying to reassure him. "I'm not going anywhere." She thought for a moment when he asked about her. "I'm okay. Healing slowly. Maybe ... could you bring me a book? I'm kind of nervous about being able to sleep tonight." tobias charles watkins

Toby could sense that Kinsey was nervous when he talked about seeking revenge against Priscilla. Normally Toby wasn't the vengeful kind of person, it wasn't his nature to be aggressive or violent, but when someone he cared abouts safety was jeopardized? That was a different story. He would go great lengths for payback. Toby had the dorky, innocent reputation set for him. No one would suspect him. Unfortunately, Kinsey didn't want him to get involved. He nodded to signify that he understood, "Alright...but only because you asked me not to." he bit his cheek with a sigh. Well, it was probably better that he didn't get involved anyways.
Kinsey assured Toby that she was feeling okay, a wave of relief overcame him but he wished that he could have been there for her today. If he were around, maybe nothing would have happened to her.. Toby felt like he let his best friend down! After releasing gently from the hug, Toby was delighted by Kinsey's next question. She requested a book from the library. Toby nodded his head up and down enthusiastically. A trip to the library always being music to his ears. That was something he was happy to do at any time, especially when someone gave him the option for reading material. "Absolutely!" he obliged, sitting on the edge of her bed as he spoke to her, trying not to raise his voice too much for sleeping Riley. "Any preferences on reading material?" he asked her with a smile. Toby was curious what kind of reading mood she may be in. Reading was one of the activities they had done most together. It was a great bond they had being able to read in peaceful silence. "I can grab you a few options so if you don't want to sleep you can read." he suggested in his typical dorky fashion.

Kinsey smiled, relief rushing through her when Toby agreed not to do anything. "Thank you Toby. All this is bad enough. I don't want you to get hurt or in trouble because of me." She smiled at him, hoping that would be more encouragement for him not to get involved with Priscilla. Kinsey didn't want Toby (or anyone else she cared about) to go anywhere close to the younger girl. She was unstable and unsafe. At her request for a book, Toby was clearly distracted from the severity of Kinsey being stuck in the hospital wing. He sat on her bed as he asked if there was something specific she wanted. "I'm not quite sure ... maybe you can surprise me?" she suggested, but then he was saying that maybe he could bring her different choices. Kinsey nodded and smiled up at him, "That's a great idea. Grab me a variety of stuff so I can be entertained for sure, even when you can't be here," she teased him slightly, just wanting things to get back to normal with her best friend. Ugh, Toby was so good to her and she loved him for it. tobias charles watkins

"I'll stay clear of Prissy, for you." he reassured her. Deep down he knew he didn't want to go anywhere near her. The girl was younger than him, but clearly not a force to be reckoned with. She could have easily killed Kinsey - which was most likely the objective today.
When Kinsey mentioned him surprising her with books, he couldn't hide hide body from perking up. Toby's inner nerd loved nothing more than having the opportunity to choose books for his mates. Especially Kinsey. This would be the perfect time to force her to read something he wanted her to read. Now he'd have to make that decision in the library. Maybe Star Wars... Toby offered her an easy going smile, "That's not a problem at all, I'll get them for you as soon as I leave here." he agreed sweetly, already anticipating the excitement of choosing her books. Merlin, he was a nerd through and through.
Toby almost forgot Riley was still napping beside them. He turned to him and turned back to Kinsey, trying not to be awkward, "How's he taking it?" he asked her softly with a slightly furrowed brow. Kinsey seemed to be okay, after this year he knew that she could endure anything, so he was curious to how Riley was taking the stress now.

Kinsey gave a real smile then, more than pleased that Toby promised he'd stay away from Prissy. Good. Kinsey couldn't stand the thought of her best friend getting hurt trying to defend her somehow. Not that she doubted Toby, but he'd never really been the seeking-out-a-fight type. His smile and obvious excitement when she suggested him choosing a book made Kinsey feel more relieved. Okay, things were going back to normal now, and she was definitely glad for that. "Sounds great. I'm excited to see what you get for me." And she was. While she knew Toby would probably bring a school book or two, she could tell by the look on his face that he was also thinking about books that had entertainment value, and that was the kind of book she was really interested in right now. "You're the best Toby," she told him honestly. Kinsey wanted to shrug when Toby asked about Riley, but she still couldn't really move her body so well so she gave him a lighthearted sort of grimace instead. "He's ... having a harder time of it than I think he is letting show," she admitted quietly. She was actually glad that Riley was sleeping right now. "Right now I think he just wants to be here for me, but I'm sure that he blames himself for what happened." She frowned, "but it's not his fault. He didn't make Priscilla attack me, and he didn't make me go to the astronomy tower by myself. That was a stupid move on my part." She took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "I'm just ... glad that they're letting him stay here." She loved having Riley so nearby. tobias charles watkins

Toby waved away her graciousness because he truly didn't mind helping her out. It was the least he could do. Toby was just happy to be needed, even for something so miniscule, it was for his best friend. "Oh, shucks, it's not a problem at all." he assured her, never failing to get bashful about compliments. Even his best friend got him awkward at times but it was always temporary.
Kinsey answered that Riley was coping after the incident but he felt responsible for Prissys actions. That wasn't fair. Prissy was a psycho. Toby nodded sympathetically, sitting on the edge of his best friends bed as he attempted to speak softly; he didn't want Riley to wake up while they were talking about him. "I could imagine that being hard for him. It sucks that he has to feel guilty for her actions but that's only natural, it's no ones fault but Prissys, and I'm sure she will be sorry for what she did." he stated before taking a breath in and exhaling. She shared that the school was allowing him to stay and Toby smiled softly, "I'm glad Kinsey. It's good that he can stay here to keep you comfortable."

Kinsey smiled softly when Toby got embarrassed. He was a good friend, always here for her when she needed him. He was her constant, one of the people she relied on and trusted completely. Him and Riley. The fact that he was here so soon was further evidence of that. "I still appreciate it, even if it's not a problem," she reassured him with a smile. It was also nice that Toby wasn't arguing with what she thought about Riley's feelings right now. Toby seemed to have an ability to understand how others were feeling. She nodded as Toby's words echoed her own thoughts. "I know, I just hope he won't blame himself for everything that happened," Kinsey whispered, glancing over at Riley with a smile. "Me too. I don't know if I'd be able to rest well if I was on my own." Then she turned her attention back to Toby. "Thanks for coming to see me. I was hoping I'd be able to see you today." tobias charles watkins

Toby smiled when she expressed her gratitude for him. Truly he was happy to be there for her, there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for the girl. “Of course, Kins, you’re my best friend.” He told her, ”I’m happy to help you however I can.” the young Ravenclaw told her genuinely, truly meaning it.
Still sitting on the edge of her bed, he reached for the small stack of books he retrieved for her. ”Check this one out, I thought you’d like it.” he tapped one of the books about Numerology with a dorky grin.

"Thanks Toby," Kinsey answered with a grateful smile. Honestly, she was lucky to have him as a friend. Toby was the kind of person who was always there for her, who always had her back. She tried to do the same for him, so it wasn't one-sided, but she was still grateful. She nodded when he said that he'd help however he could. She took the book he offered and grinned as she opened it up. "Ugh, you're the best!" She started reading the book, not surprised when she liked it. The two of them sat together in relative silence for a while, which was relaxing for Kinsey. Things were going to be okay. --- the end --- tobias charles watkins
