"It's not me that I think you'd hurt. Someone else would be hexed to oblivion though," Penny said, trying to keep her calm now as well. They'd already been through the not-trusting each other bit and that wasn't what Penny was going off about at all. She trusted Isaac now - a lot more than she did anyone else, given Thatcher - but she didn't trust how he'd react if she told him what had happened. People did stupid things when it came to love and Penny was afraid that he'd turn into one of those stupid people.

"What are you talking about? I do trust you; more than you'd ever care to notice anyways! And since when aren't we friends?" Penny really wanted to slap Isaac right about now and tell him to get a grip. He was being completely irrational and talking out of his ass, making assumptions that weren't true and only getting her angrier and angrier.

Penny did want to be with Isaac. Eventually. Now just wasn't the time and the worst part about it all is that Penny didn't even want to explain why it wasn't the right time to poor Isaac but she was going to anyways. "No," Penny said, having a face-palm moment, "I do want you. But you don't see that, do you? All you see is someone who rejected you because they don't want you to become a rebound guy; because they just had their heart ripped out of them by the father of their child, thrown on the ground, and stomped on a time or twenty; because they care about you more than you will ever realize and don't want you to see them when they look like utter crap and just need time to recover from their last relationship."

Sighing, Penny started pacing and running her fingers through her hair, "But you don't see any of that, do you?" Oh yes, Penny had just attempted to rip Isaac a new one. She didn't want to be the bad guy here but he was blowing things out of proportion and taking his frustrations out right here and now. Penny couldn't have that, of course. She was curious though, to see how Isaac would react to what she'd just said.

"Who? Daniel?" Isaac was now becoming confused if she really knew him at all. "Why would I of all people go and do that? Sure I think he may be a sodding git and may deserve it for not trying to help you with Treasa, but that's between you and him. Are you trying to give yourself an excuse now?"

That had to be it. None of what she was saying was making any sense. She should have known him better than that. Isaac was not the bad guy.

"Until now apparently! I was always there for you. Always when you needed me, and even when you didn't. But it seems you think I'm someone I'm not. I'm not a bloody Death Eater Penny! I'M A MUGGLEBORN FOR MERLIN'S SAKE!" He was not yelling. His tone had become louder.. but he was so not yelling right now.

Now this conversation from both side was not making any sense but the only thing that was clear was that he had hurt Penny. That was something that he had not wanted to do at all. Now Isaac felt like a complete arse. He took a moment to recover from his bizzare emotional state and then locked eyes with her once more.

"I'm sorry," he uttered solemnly. He wanted to each out to her in apology and sympathy, but then assumed she would not accept his gesture. Isaac had no idea what else to say in response to her. Now it was just awkward. He stared at her in displeasure with himself, then turned for the door and leaving quickly.
