You're weird but I like you!

I'm Dorothea. My friends call me Dot. If anyone other than my brother calls me Dottie, I will kill them.

Dot wanted so hard to stay strong for Flick. He was her brother and she didn’t want to leave him all alone in the midst of war. But she also wanted more than anything to sleep. To sleep forever would be glorious, especially if it would take the pain away. As the medics set to work reversing the curse to fix the cuts, she took hold of Flick’s hand, squeezing it it gently. She needed to reassure him that everything would be alright, but she didn’t want to lie to him again. Dot had done more than enough lying in the past few years, and she knew that she would never have the chance to make things right.

When the medics had done all that they could for her, she tried to sit up, but couldn’t find the strength. Some of her wounds had been too deep and the internal bleeding was beyond anyone’s help  “No matter what happens, Flick, I just want you to know that I love you.” She said before her eyes closed once again.  After a while, her body went limp against the bed as the life drained from her. The bright light came back to her, and this time she stood in the darkness for a long time before eventually walking into the light, no longer a burden to anyone.

Dot had absolutely no idea where in the castle they were, but she thought that they must be somewhere near the dungeons because of the drop in temperature. She was probably one hundred percent wrong because she couldn’t comprehend much. She closed her eyes, just wanting the pain to disappear. “Why is it so cold?” She mumbled. Flick was one of the only people that had ever truly cared about her so she was trying hard to hold on for him. “Why is there blood and why wont you let me sleep?”

Dot was in darkness for a while until suddenly it was broken by a piercing white light. It was like the light at the end of a very long, very dark tunnel and she had a sudden urge to walk towards it. Despite how bright it was, it was so pretty and she was sure that dark was bad and light was good. That was just how the world worked. Everybody knew that. Dot was almost at the light when something pulled her back through the darkness. The only thing that she could hear was Flick’s voice and she knew that she had to hold on for just a little longer so that she could say goodbye to him. 

She whimpered slightly as pain flooded her body. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up at Flick for a moment. She wanted to reach out to him, but she could concentrate on nothing but the pain. And the blood. Why was there so much blood? She tried to focus, but nothing was clear and nothing made sense.

Flick felt the helping hands, looking up quickly, and only relaxing when he recognized who it was. “Thanks Dot. I’m just trying to get…over there. Trap should go off…on the vamps.” Getting his breath back was a slower process than he’d like, but he had to tell her what was going on. “You ok? You hurt at all?” That was the next biggest concern. If he had to, he had to make sure that she got through this all right. They were just starting to be siblings again, he had to make sure that they had time to fix it. 

[teeny-tiny-dot]

“I’m fine. Just a few little grazes and a lot of emotional trauma.” Dot had just finished helping Flick up when she heard someone shouting a curse. She hadn’t heard their exact words, but the flash of white light that was aimed at Flick couldn’t be a good thing under these circumstances. Without thinking, she threw herself in front of her brother, getting hit full on by the curse. It was only as she faded out of consciousness before hitting the floor with a sudden thud that she realised what had been uttered. The sectumsempra curse had caused deep wounds on her chest, face and arms and it wasn’t long before her white blouse turned red with blood. For now she was alive, but until the cuts were examined, and if she didn’t get medical attention quickly enough, nobody could say whether or not she would even make it through the next hour. At least losing consciousness meant that she wasn’t in pain.

Well, the plan had gone to hell. Flick had figured that something like that would happen, but that didn’t make it any better. He’d tried to keep track of Nala and Jim, but he’d lost sight of both of them quickly in the chaos that came in the attack. The whole room was full of smoke, some of which was his fault. It gave their side some cover, and since they knew the school better, that had to be good right? Merlin he hoped so. 

Looking around, he saw that one of his traps hadn’t been set off yet. Looking at who was around, he calculated that it could take out two of the vampires currently battling a couple students, but it shouldn’t hit them. Done. Ducking under a loose spell, he started racing across the rubble, trying to get to the trigger. As he got close, he tripped on a stone that he didn’t see, hitting the ground hard enough to knock the wind out of himself. God he hoped he didn’t die this way. He had to at least help those students first. With that thought in mind, he started to struggle to his feet.

[teeny-tiny-dot]

Dot had been lucky so far. She was small enough to be able to dodge falling debris easily and squeeze through the gaps left by the large chunks of ceiling that were now on the floor. Plus her size was meant that she could move quickly. She had found it easier to dodge spells and avoid them rather than trying to counter them or attack first. She had just rounded the corner when she saw someone trip. Moving closer, she realised that it was Flick and rushed to help him up. She needed to be sure that it he was going to be alright.

*Slight Flashback* Dot and Flick

[flicktheinventor]

“I can’t leave Dot. I have to help. I know I’m not good for that much, but I might be able to do some real good. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get somewhere safe.”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

“If you’re staying then I’m staying. I will not leave you here to fight without me.” 

[teeny-tiny-dot]

*Slight Flashback* Dot and Flick

[flicktheinventor]

“I know. Even I can tell that things are going to get a lot worse soon. Actually, maybe you should go home? You could, um, tell our parents what’s going on and maybe we could get help that way.”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

“I’m not leaving this castle without you, Flick.”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

*Slight Flashback* Dot and Flick

[flicktheinventor]

“I, um, I finished most of my inventions and the rest I have stored. I’m just working on things for annoying the teachers or Rattigan at this point. I have to do something useful for once.”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

“I honestly never meant for anyone to get hurt. You have to believe me. But that’s not why I’m here. Everything is weird and scary.” 

[teeny-tiny-dot]

*Slight Flashback* Dot and Flick

[flicktheinventor]

Flick looked up from where he was working in surprise at the voice. “Well, you can get in now right?”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

“I can. Thank you for taking down the barrier.”

“Obviously” he says, pulling her gently into a hug.

[teeny-tiny-dot]

“I’ll miss you.”

[i-will-just-keep-swimming-deact]

“It’s awful quiet around here,” Dory mumbled to herself as she looked around, worried she might have missed something important. “Was there something going on today?”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

“Some people died, if you count that as something going on.” Dot shrugged.

[singsweetnightingale-sing]

Are you okay?

[singsweetnightingale-sing]

“Hating you?” she asked, her brow creasing in confusion. “May I ask why you think he hates you?”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

“Because I did something unforgivable a long time ago and he still hasn’t forgiven me.”

[gentleman-blood-addict]

-sitting outside the raven claw tower with his bags-

[gentleman-blood-addict]

“I’m sorry…I guess I should be more surprised by all this…but I’m not”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

“You have to promise that you’ll stay in touch.”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

“It’s alright mister snugglepants, everything is going to be okay.”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

*Slight Flashback* Dot and Flick

-walks into Flick’s workshop nervously.- “I’m glad you’re here but I’m scared.”

[teeny-tiny-dot]

Dot, I don't know what to do. I'm out of the hospital wing so I guess I'm not that hard to find, but I might be back there soon. I don't know. Most of my friends got kicked out of school because of flight club and I have to do something. Take care of yourself though. I might get into a lot of trouble so it's probably better not to be around me until school ends. I don't know. I don't know anything anymore. ~Flick

Dot read over the letter and made sure that nobody was about to witness her actions before throwing it into the burning fire. It was only when it was burnt beyond recognition that she penned her reply.
