Sibling bonding ~Madalyn

[MADALYN CLAIRE WEASLEY]

Today I don't feel like doing anything. I just wanna lay in my bed

She grinned at him, "Yes, that sounds about right." The tomato conversation could have kept going, but she just ate another small piece then pushed them over to her brother. "But you do know, you have to be a good boyfriend too. Remember that." She said laughing. The Disney trip rung in her head, "Hey! Yeah! We should totally be coaster buddies!" she said, excitedly.

"It's blandly pathetic at the moment.. But promise me you won't get all uber defensive.." she said with a hesitated tone. "I kinda am in like with a Luc MacMillan Hufflepuff..." she said, hoping he wouldn't know him, and the fact that he is a seventh year. She was hesitant to continue, so she just waited.

'Cause today I swear, I'm not doing anything."

Thomas nodded when she reminded him that he had to be a good boyfriend. "Yeah, of course. Thanks for reminding me, though," he said with a slight teasing voice. He was glad that they could talk easily about things like this, it made him really value his little sister. "Yeah, we should! I'm sure a lot of the others will be just as keen to get onto the rides as we are. It'll be awesome fun," he agreed.

When Maddie mentioned Luc MacMillan, Thomas' jaw dropped a bit. Wasn't he a seventh year this year? Wasn't that a bit old for her? "As in, seventh-year Luc?" he asked. "That's cool... have you hung out with him much?" he asked, a little warily. He was protective of his little sister.

She nodded in agreement. "Good Good! And while we are they, we can get cotton candy!" She giggled. She was so excited for the summer trip. Of course, she had never done anything quite like it before, but she was so ready. She looked at the food, "How close are we to eating something delicious?" she giggled again, knowing it would taste amazing with Tom behind the spatula.

She could feel the adjustment in his mental stability. She was now a bit nervous, "I knew you would freak out..." She had hoped he wouldn't know of him, but he did. His words really meant nothing, she could feel what he was really thinking. "I'm going on a Hufflepuff hang out to the beach..." she looked away from him. She was excited to go on that, but her brother would soon give her a talk she was not looking forward to. She laughed out of nerves, "It's going to be fun!" she said, smiling. She had never had the opportunity to go to the beach.

Thomas had almost finished cooking the chicken. "We're pretty much ready. We just need to get the wraps out, and then we can help ourselves to whatever we want in them," he explained as he turned off the heat to the chicken as it was ready to go.

He tried not to go over-protective on her. He didn't want to push her away. "Well, he seems like a nice guy at least. So how many are going on this beach thing? I assume he's going to be there, right?" he asked, not accusingly, but more sounding like he was on her side that she would be excited about Luc being there.

She smiled at him, despite his blatant reaction to her liking an older boy. "Lets eat!" she giggled, grabbing two plates out of the cupboard. "It smells so good, Tommy." she dance toward the counter handing him his plate. "Here you go."

Despite what she could sense, she smiled with what he was saying. She was glad he was taking a positive interest, "Well, that Teddy Eastbooth invited Evie Croft, Lucas, and I." she said with a slight nod. "So don't worry, I'll have Evie there." she snickered. She wasn't one to really hang out with guys other than her brother and a few kids from her house that were younger than her. "But, I've never been to the beach like you and Tanner, so it should be quite interesting." She was laying a wrap out on her plate. Meat, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Cheesse, Tomatoes, a little Sour Cream, Tomatoes, and TADA! She bounced her head back and fourth as if she was singing a song, and she hummed them out as she put them into the wrap. She looked at Tom with a giggle, "Thank you mucho!" She gave a little childish accent to that and returned to her seat.

Thomas started filling up his burrito with chicken and the other stuff to put inside it as well, and took a seat at the table. "Oh, cool." He didn't know Evie or Teddy, but having another girl there would be a good thing, he supposed. At least it was a decent sized group so she hopefully wouldn't be left alone with Lucas. "Oh, I'm sure you'll be fine. Just watch out for the sharks," he said nonchalantly, joking but wanting to play with her and maybe freak her out a little.

She put her tongue out at him, "Sh-Sharks? Nah... I mean.. They aren't that close to the shore, are they?..." she said nervously, with a mouth full of food. He had definitely scared her, but then her mind went somewhere else when she swallowed. "This is so good, Tommy!!" She smiled at him.

Her eyed glanced to the windows. "Hey, it looks so nice outside!" She looked over back at the clock on the counter. It was almost 3pm. She smiled and turned back to Tom, "Do you have plans today? Like, after this?" she was curious, maybe they could do something.

Thomas laughed and shook his head. "Nah, don't worry, you don't have to worry about it. I'm just joking with you," he replied, still chuckling. Her expression had been great. He was glad that she liked the food - it did taste pretty good.

When she asked if he had plans after this, he shrugged. "Nope, not really. Why, did you have something in mind?" he asked her curiously. He would only be hanging around the house reading or something, maybe going for a run if he had the energy. One had to be fit to be an auror.

She made a sigh of relief, "So mean!" She giggled. The food was really good, and Tommy had seemed to outdo himself this time. She paused on eating for a moment, "How are things with Tanner?" Tommy probably had a better chance of seeing him that she did, what with the ability to aparate and not being in school anymore. "I mean.. I haven't really seen him for a while." She let herself look sad for only a second, but then she perked right back up.

Nothing really planned, she just enjoyed Tommy's company. "Well, not really..." She laughed slightly, she didn't know what the two would do, but it had been a while since they had done much of anything together, "What sounds like fun?" she gave him a loving smile. She wanted to hang out more, but they were of different ages and likes. It wasn't just that, he was actually grown up and out of Hogwarts in a real job, and she was still in school. The youngest to be in school. She missed her brother's terribly.

He grinned when she called him mean. He liked playing with her, it was fun. "Oh yeah, Tanner's doing ok. He's been super overworked, though, that's why we haven't been able to see him much. Being an Auror is taking a lot of his time, especially now with everything going on," he explained. That would be him soon, he supposed. Although there was a lot of training to happen first, but that would be pretty time consuming too, from what he had heard.

When she asked what he thought sounded like fun, he thought for a moment. "We could play gobstones?" he suggested.

She thought maybe he had gotten to see him, though it turns out he was in the same boat as her. She smiled, meekly. "Well, I figured as much. I just haven't really heard.. anything.. from him." She didn't know if it could be helped, but she did know that she would see him again.

Gobstones? That game Maddie can never win at? Sure, "I guess..." she looked up at him, "No cheating this time!" she teased with a grin. She was certain he always cheated, how else would she lose all the time? She stood up, "I'll go get the game, you made food!" she said with a nod, putting her plate on the other side of the sink. She walked back to the counter with the game in hand, "But you get to set it up, cause I wanna go first." she smirked.

"I'm sure he'll come and see you at some stage. Maybe you should send him an owl or something, just to let him know you're thinking of him?" he suggested. That would be a nice thing to do, and might remind him to drop in and visit Maddie.

Thomas laughed at her accusation of him cheating. "I would never!" he commented with a grin. Truth be told, he had just played the game quite a bit more than Maddie. Still, he often played a little worse than his skill level to make the game more competitive, as it was more fun when it was less one-sided. He never told her that, though. He smiled and started to set it up when she brought it back. "Yeah, because going first has gone so well for you before," he teased gently.

It had been weeks. It had been weeks since Maddie's last encounter with Lynie. Maddie hadn't exactly got use to being alone. She still heard Lynie's thoughts every now and then, but was surprised today with how silent she had been. Of course, Lynie hears all of Maddies thoughts. I'm still in here you know.. *giggle* As Maddie kept a smile toward Thomas, her eyes fluttered slightly and her smile quivered. Something not quite noticeable, but Maddie knew it was going to be a battle. He talked about Tanner, "Yeah, I think that's a great idea!" Lynie had broken through slightly, turning her words for Maddie's happy tone, to a very infantile and bubbly one.

Maddie coughed and looked away from him. Stop it... Um. No! *giggle* Her mind had began to fight itself, but she turned back to Thomas. Since summer had started, up until now, she thought Lynnie was on vacation. Turns out, she's back. "Lies!" Maddie spoke, with a joking demeanor. Calling TomTom a liar? That's not very ni-iice. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She bit her bottom lip while exhaling. "But you're right, it probably won't. I just like going first!" She smiled. For a brief moment, all she could feel was Lynie's presence. She wasn't interjecting anymore. "So le-" Oh, just play already, I want to watch! Her head was beginning to hurt. "Let's play!"

At Maddie's response to his suggestion about Tanner, Thomas looked at her oddly. She seemed to be even brighter and more bubbly about halfway through what she had said, which struck him as a little odd. Still, he didn't think anything much of it.

As they got ready to start the game, she looked like something was really bothering her. The way she had shut her eyes and taken a deep breath, like she was focusing really hard on something. "Maddie, is everything okay?" he asked her, sounding concerned. "Are you feeling alright?" She had suggested they start playing, but he wanted to make sure she was alright first.

She nodded slowly, "Yeah.." she had a discerning sound in her voice, which made her less than convincing. Oh you aren't fine, and you know it.. You have a six year old in your head you weirdo... Lynie was making all the jokes she could to throw Madalyn off balance. Maddie exhaled and shook her head, "Y-Yeah.." She wanted to be okay and she wanted to believe herself in what she was telling him, but it just wasn't true. In fact, she hadn't heard from Lynie in a while, why would she suddenly pop up now. Maddie had been thinking about it for a brief moment, of course her thoughts are never to herself, I'm here because I can be. *giggle*

Maddie looked up and Thomas, and she knew she could say anything to him. "I.." You think anyone believes I'm still in your head? Lynie was being devious. She was preventing Maddie from saying anything with a full thought process. Maddie's words were becoming strung out, and she was about to lose control of herself. This is how it would always happen. Lynie would come in and break her down so she could take over. "Just.. give me a few seconds..." she spoke, looking back up to Thomas. A few seconds will help you, how? I'm still going to be here..
