Hermione Cassiopeia Riddle prided herself on being intelligent, rational and composed in any given scenario. With the exception of the situations her own twin brother would somehow manage to trip, flail and plummet into. He was the only one who could make her lose grip on the sanity she held close, she had long accepted that he had thrown his own sanity out the window. Hermione loved her brother dearly, but when he did things without a second thought and left her to clean-up like a house-elf, she would find herself dreaming of the day their Father would teach them the Unforgivables. The rest of the Slytherin house watched warily as she paced angrily in the middle of the common room, no-one wanting to risk her wrath turning on them. Her long dark brown curls were in disarray, made even worse when her hand went up and clenched in frustration again. Her Magic was snaking around her body in agitation. Even the older years were recoiling at her power, all thanking Merlin that they weren’t the reason for her ire, the only ones still unaffected by her behavior were her friends on the couches that she was pacing between. Everyone watched with wide eyes as Theodore Halton Nott Jr, placed a Hippogriff feather in the book he had been reading, marking the page he was up to, before approaching his fearsome Soulmate. Rolling his eyes at the sharp intakes of breaths from the other students Theo placed his hand on Hermione’s arm, his magic already naturally reaching out, soothing and calming Hermione’s. She turned, already the tension leaving her shoulders, eyes softening, and magic relaxing. "Mione, I know you are worried, but I am sure Hartford is perfectly okay. He can be rash and unthinking, but he knows how to look after himself." Theo whispered as he embraced her from behind, his arms wrapping around her chest, pulling the frazzled girl to rest against him. "I will kill him myself." She swore softly, turning her head to nuzzle into Theo’s shoulder. "I know you will." Theo cooed condescendingly, causing her to relax further as she giggled.
