Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

After thinking quite a bit, and listening to last night's radio one more time, Isabel finally had an idea about what to do to annoy Umbridge for what she did to Johnny and Peter.

Smirking a lot, Isabel sat on her bed with her laptop and Photoshop up and running.

The door was open.

"They love you," Peter said. "They're doing what they think is best."

"Rationally I know that. But that doesn't stop me from wanting to be there," Isabel replied. "I mean, anything could happen to them. And I'm not sure I'd ever know."

"I'd be going insane," Peter admitted. He reached for her hand. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I've thought about it. I figured coming back here to the asylum was my best way of coping. It's also my best way of finding a way back to them that doesn't require their help. It just might take a while."

She laced her fingers through his and squeezed. "This works. And I might require the occasional poke if I start to brood too much."

"That I can do," Peter said. "Anytime you need anything - friend, shoulder to cry on, whatever - you know where to find me."

"Thank you," Isabel said quietly, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'm pretty sure I'm going to take you up on that offer."

"You'd better," Peter said. He bumped her shoulder with his. "Because I'll track you down if I have to."

"That sounds like it could be fun," she smiled.

It was hard to ignore the voice in brain that said she shouldn't be feeling happy while Max and Michael were in danger, but for the moment, Isabel managed to tune it out.
