Even though she'd only been gone a week Fandom time, Isabel was cleaning her room like it really had been left closed up for six months. Reorganizing drawers and closets, scouring the bathroom, dusting every available surface, meant she didn't have to think about last night's conversation, or the worried voicemails and emails from her parents she's avoiding answering. It meant she could pretend she wasn't woken up by nightmares this morning.

The door was open, the radio was blaring the Rolling Stones, and Isabel was on her hands and knees in the bathroom, attacking the grout with a toothbrush.

Isabel remembered what Cedric had told her about his trip home and nodded. "How do you deal with it?"

"Most of the time, it's a matter of getting up and touching things around my room to convince myself that I'm not back there, that I'm not facing a Dementor," he said quietly. "The dreams still come, no matter how long ago it happened."

"That's what I've been doing. It helps some but its hard. There's stuff that happened...it makes it hard to tell the difference, even when I'm awake." She shrugged, "I can only hope it'll get better at some point."

He nodded. "I'm sorry you had to go through whatever you did, Isabel. I really am. You know I'm here if you need me."

Isabel signed and leaned against his shoulder. "I know. And I appreciate it. So much. It helps a lot."

"Whenever you're ready," he said. "I'll be here to listen. Or tell you stories. Or bring you cookies. Or give you a ride on the broomstick."

"Do I have to pick one? Or is there an all of the above option?" she asked, hoping to make him smile.

"I can listen and tell you stories while baking cookies on my broomstick," he offered.

"You are a very talented multi-tasker," Isabel grinned. "You only forgot one thing though."

"Did I?" He mentally went through the list, counting things off on his hand.

"Yup," she said seriously. "Doesn't the magic wand have to be in there somewhere?"

He laughed and said, "Oh, of course. The magic wand will be traveling everywhere I go, spreading joy and happiness."

"Which you've done today," Isabel said, giving him a quick hug. "Thank you."

"I'm glad to have helped," he said, reaching over to give a one armed hug. "Whenever you need it."
