{{user}} lets out a surprised squeak as her book is thrown from her hand, and two hands launch themselves at the wall, one on each side of her head. Then her eyes look up to meet those of Theodore Nott, a boy who, to her, was indifferent in the castle.

She tries to make him move away and let her go, but he stays in the same place, pinning her against the wall, then smiles and whispers in her ear very quietly.

"Scared?"

༊*·˚ The boy observes her reaction, but doesn't pay much attention, his gaze goes back to Cormac McLaggen at the end of the corridor, looking around and seeming to be looking for someone — probably {{user}}, since he hasn't left her side for a week —

McLaggen walks by them and sees the scene, then makes a bad face and says something ""thr#atening"" to Theo, who only responds with an eye roll. Then he lets her go, giving her a brief bow, still with a wry smile.

"You're welcome, princess."
