Coming Home

Marvolo slipped into the common room her muddy robe clutched around her as she ran up stairs and slipped into her dorm. Closing her eyes for a moment she silently thanked salazar that no one had seen her. 

Walking over to the bed she threw her robe on her trunk and stripped out of her blood stained shirt, undoing the bandages on her wrist she gazed at the wound and grimaced.

"Care to explain what kind of super secret bloody mission are you trying to cover here?" asked Morana sitting in the darkest corner as usualy.

"Son of a bitch" she cursed for once having not noticing her sister "Hey morz, Barty not available tonight?" she pulled a clean shirt over her head and put on a new paiur of pants. Sitting on her bed she started cleaning her arms.

"I haven't seen Barty in week or so. He is busy dealing with his father issues. We were supposed to go to Hogsmeade together today, you and I. Remember?" Morana asked curiously. She didn't judge her sister. Even if she didn't like, what Marvolo was doing to herself, she found out soon enough, that there are things she cannot change about her twin sister. "Of couse, that was before you suddenly disappeared for four days or so," she added.

"I needed some time" she said with a sigh as she re-wrapped her arm "We'll go toomorrow though I promise babe"

Morana smirked. "So, care to share your adventure?" she asked. "You are mess sister. And I can't help you not because of Barty, but because you spent more time somewhere on run than around me," started Morana little worried in her voice.

'.I was in the hospital.." she said slowly shaking her head.

"Good to know that not on a killing trip. Why were you in hospital?" asked Morana with hint of sarcasm in first sentence.

"I tried to kill myself" she said rather bluntly as she began to use her wand to mend and clean her clothing.

"You tried to kill yourself," repeated Morana first and than sighed. "For what reason this time?" she asked afterwards.

"Same as always i lost my mind" she said simply

"You lost your mind?" Morana sighed and went silent for a few seconds, giving her sister chance to speak, but nothing happened. "So that's all you are going to say to me? Well, than. But next time, don't even try to be angry with me for not talking to you, like many times before. Because as you see, I am trying," said Morana sadly. She wasn't angry, she just sometimes didn't understand what Marvolo expected from her. Probably because she didn't understand people generaly.

Marvolo nodded feeling defeated "So...going to enter the tournament?"

Morana started to laugh. "Seriously sis? One would say you know me enough to know I am not in things like this. At all," she said with smile. "Our mother should arrive soon tho," Morana added with her happy tone.

"It will be nice to see her" she said with a nod "I hope she brings chocolate.."

"Why do I have the feeling that you have a thing for czech chocolate?" laughed Morana.

"Its delicious" she said with a smile "oh i met a girl yesterday...might have a date"

"Date?" Morana looked at her sister curiously. "So you finally stopped being sad about your previous relationships? That's good," she smiled at her sister.

Marvolo rolled her eyes "We'll see how this goes...I must admit i am still crushing on severus but he hasn't beena round so I figured i'd play the field."

"I still don't understand what do you see in him. Snape I mean. I don't trust the guy," said Morana matter-of-factly. She had bad feeling from the boy.

"He's sweeet and intelligent and a very good friend" she said

Morana just shaked her head. Intelligent maybe. But sweet? Definitely not. "Well at least you finally forgot about traitor Black," she said and her voice went even darker when she remembered Sirius. That guy was on her dead list since her sister broke up with Rabs because of him. If not even sooner. When Morana thought of it, at least now, Marvolo wanted a death eater and not some stupid lion who betrayed his own family.
