He scanned the room from the door, and looked for his teammates... he couldn't see any of them... yet.
Jacob slowly made his way towards the Ravenclaw Table, his eyes were watering slightly from holding the badge so tightly. It hurt, but he wasn't going to put it on and still didn't want people to know. It scared him, they were going form a mob, grab pitch forks and torches and run him out of the school... burn him at the stake. EEEK! Please NO!
He walked down the table to find a seat far from the rest, but as his eyes moved from one person to another, his eyes found the one person he was dreading to see the most. "Ellie" his voice cracked as he cried out her name, his hand tightened even more of the badge, and now tears were flowing rapidly from his eyes... Why Did The Badge His Hand SO Much! He took a step back "I'm sorry" he said quickly. "Please Don't Hurt Me!" he said, wiping the tears with the arm what was holding the badge.
Ellie whipped around when she heard her name being called.
Oh, it was Jacob. Cue eyeroll.
She hadn't seen him since that day in Diagon and assumed he'd crawled in a hole somewhere. Apparently not.
But then he was...apologizing? And begging?
Ellie blinked. Several times.
"Why would I hurt you?" she asked, half of her not wanting to know the answer. Oh Merlin.
