Eris easily leaned into her brother’s embrace. These were almost always enough to lift her mood even a little bit. But all it did right now was remind her of what she was being ripped away from. Leaving the Zabini house wasn’t what she was afraid of - it was leaving him. “You can’t protect me from this one Tay” she said quietly. She knew her brother would move mountains for her if he could, but this wasn’t a situation she could see getting out of. She wrapped an arm around him, burying her face in his shoulder.
Not usually one to rile up easily, Dante felt anger bubbling up when she said he couldn’t protect her from this. Not at her, of course not, but at their parents for always finding ways to ruin her life. He had long since stopped caring about what they did to him but he couldn’t stand when they did even the smallest thing to hurt his twin. He just held her tightly as she buried her face in his shoulder, brainstorming in his head. “You’re not marrying him,” he said firmly; he’d figure something out. Even his parents could be bargained with if you had the right offer.
