These battle scars ~Madison

[MADISON LEANN ENTWHISTLE]

She raised an eyebrow at what he said as he caught her hand. Will you she said. She stuck her tounge out at him and knew he would pay later for that. Madison didn't have to be proper around him like she did her family. With Thomas it was easier than being with her own family. She probably couldn't tell you what her siblings liked anymore or what her parents were up to. She nodded about not being in the same tour group. Maybe I will sneak away from my tour group and hang out with you in yours she said with a smile. She frowned when he showed her his arm. She traced the scar with her finger making sure not to touch it in case it still hurt a little. We will find who done this Thomas and make them pay for it she said all seriousiness in her voice. When Madison set her mind to something nothing stopped her.

Thomas laughed when she suggested sneaking off to hang with his group. He supposed it could work but the chaperones were pretty careful. "Maybe. Or we can hang out in the evenings at the hotel," he suggested. That would be a good option since they had free time then and could be with whoever they wanted. He watched Madison as she traced her finger along the edge of his scar. Being a scar, it didn't really hurt, although it was still quite tender as it healed completely. "Yeah. I can't believe she just came out into the open and attacked us like that. It's such a bold statement - showing that nobody is safe anymore." It made it so much more clear to him that he would train to be an Auror, and also join the Order. Even though he was already planning to do those things, now he was even more certain.

She smiled looking up at him. We could do that I guess she said slowly. She would miss him but she was also worried that something might happen to him during the trip. She didn't ever want to hear again that he had gotten attack. After tracing his scar Madison looked up at him as he said that he couldn't believe that she had openly attacked them. She wondered since the attack if it had been the same person who attacked his cousin Lucy's best friend village. Everyone at Hogwarts had heard about it and Madison felt sorry for her. She knew she never wanted to lose one of her best friends. She looked down her hand still in his. Maybe you should have a different job later she said. She knew he was going to be an auror, she was as well. She had recently changed it after the attack on Thomas. She wanted to help people and maybe her seer ability will be able to also help the aurors.

There had been a lot of attacks lately, it was true. The attack on Lucy's best friend's village, and also the attack on the University, they were the big ones of note - but there had been smaller ones here and there as well, and now the one on Thomas Rose and James. When Madison suggested he get a different job, he shook his head instantly. "No, I couldn't. I know what you're trying to do and I appreciate that, but now more than ever I need to train to be an Auror," he explained. "If I was trained before, I could have defended James and Rose better. If I can't do that well, I'll be useless to fight them when the chance comes up," he said firmly. He wasn't going to waver from this at all - it was something he had to, and would, do.

Madison didn't want him being an auror because she didn't want him getting hurt. The dark lady had already made a target out of him and she wished that Thomas would pick a safer job. She hated the head shook she got from him when she suggested it. She sighed and carressed his check with her hand. Thomas it wasn't that you weren't train to fight. You did your best protecting them just like James and Rose did their best to help you. It isn't about that you guys weren't trained enough. She surprised you guys and you weren't expecting an attack. That makes the difference Thomas she said. She knew she wasn't going to talk him out of it. Just promise to be careful okay. I don't want you hurt ever again like that she said.

Thomas nodded reluctantly. "I know that she caught us by surprise, but with training I could be able to react better to that. An instant faster and I could block another spell, or save James or Rose from getting hit by the Cruciatus curse. That pain is something they're always going to have to remember now," he muttered. He blamed himself for not being able to help them faster or more effectively, and that would only drive him to learn more and more in the art of dueling and being prepared for anything like that in the future. "I'll be careful where I can, but if the opportunity comes to defend people I love, I'm going to jump right in there and do it... I'm sorry Madison, but I have to," he said, hoping that she would understand.

Madison didn't know if Thomas was right but she knew one thing, she didn't want him getting hurt again. All she wanted was for him to be careful and be safe. I understand Thomas. I am just worried about you. I was scared when I heard you got attack and I know I am being selfish but I just don't want to lose you. I don't want you getting hurt again she said. Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes so she turned away from him so he wouldn't see. Hearing him talk about the attack was doing more to Madison than she thought it would. She had heard about what happened but hearing him talk about it and his feelings on it was taking its toil on her more than she could ever imagine. She nodded but didn't turn around. I know Thomas. That's one of the things I have always love even admired about you she said a smile coming up on her features.

Thomas nodded understandingly. He could understand her not wanting to lose him, that was always what happened in this sort of situation. "It's something that both of us are standing up for, now. It means that both of us will be in a bit more danger than if we just hid, but that's worth it if we can actually fight back, right?" he said to her, putting a hand on her shoulder comfortingly. "Either way, we'll be doing it together, right?" That was the main thing.

She smiled at him. Yeah it is she said. She pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. She smiled as he said the last part. Yes we will she said. She was glad that her job let her be with Thomas. She wouldn't be some professors aide running errands that the professor didn't want to do. She would be doing something important and she would be doing it with Thomas and they were together. She looked up at him and ran a hand through his hair as she had done so many times before, not knowing that he liked her though. That thought of how she acted must of seemed like toying with him. That was all in the past though. So what do you want to do now she asked him.

"How about we go out for a walk? I want to explore the place, I haven't seen much of it yet seeing as I just got here," he told her. He was still in a bit of shock that this was actually happening, and he thought he would need a bit of time to process it, too.

(Maybe we should end this thread and continue the other one?)

[MADISON LEANN ENTWHISTLE]

She smiled up at him and held his hand. I would love to explore around here with you she said. She kissed him on the lips for a few minutes then pulled away. And you, me, Sarah, and James should all go out to eat sometime and just hang out around here at night before we leave, like we used to at Hogwarts she said and then started heading off towards the outside world with Thomas in two.


( sounds good to me this thread has ended)
