He didn't expect her to even notice him looking at her. He had wondered if Minniehad visited him in the hospital wing. From what he'd heard of the last two weeks, one person out of commission from classes was the least of anyone's problems. Still, it was a bit depressing to think that none of his friends cared to send a card. He couldn't fault them for being busy, it still stung regardless of the reasoning. Reed tried to be sensible but not knowing anything really made things all the more frustrating. At some point he either went from curious to furious to pouty in a matter of minutes.... not that he himself noticed.
He was lost in thought that only the sudden commotion of Vex trying to help Minnie dislodge the fruit from her lungs, actually made him notice that there was actually going on. He stopped himself from going over to help her since it felt strange to speak to her after all the thoughts going about in his mind, even if the awkwardness was really just self-imposed. He actually physically battled with himself to a point where he actually did fall out of his seat. His housemates just looked at him when he fell and laughed. Bloody arses.
"That was the warning." he responded to the embarrassed girl trying to mentally create a whole in the floor to a muggle fairy-tale land. Maybe if she tried hard enough, the castle would actually do it. Though, not even he had that type of magic.... And he was supposed to be part of fairy-tales. Vex looked up again and sagged with a weight of someone who did not just want to see an enormous disappointment. Reed had just fallen from his own seat with his house then proceeding to laugh at his pain. "You two are obviously made for each other..."
"Bugger off!" he replied to the people making jokes at his misery. Normally he didn't mind but to be honest he wasn't in a mood to be the butt of any joke. He was both seriously worried and hurt. Some other people stopped to see why someone at Gryffindor sounded so angry. He stormed out but not before getting a nod from Vex that Minnie would be fine... because he probably stood there staring long enough for the Fey to know what was going on inside his muddled head.
"Perhaps now would be a good time to speak with him. He seems to require comfort and understanding." Vex said as he plucked the small girl from her place on the floor and forced her to stand, pushing her towards the doors where Pucey had stormed through.
Reed did not go very far. He'd stopped a few meters from the Great Hall. All the adrenaline rushed out of him and he sagged against a wall. He felt like he didn't have any real friends at all. Sure, his housemates were good people but he wasn't even sure if they were really there for him. He'd always felt a tiny bit left out of the loop. The irony was there but he didn't want to think about it. The rational part of his mind knew he was over-reacting but that part was very far in the back at the moment. He'd feel bad later, at the moment he just wanted to curl up. Maybe it was because he felt so lost or perhaps because he felt useless but whatever it was, it was making him even more depressed than he reasonablly should have been.
