Next chapter coming soon
Angelina ran into the great hall, she was starving, she felt like she hadn't eaten for a year, even though she was still a bit distraught about the fight she had had with oliver wood the other night it started of about quiditch and then got a bit more personal and they hadn't spoken since it was hard because they had been good friends for a long time but she tried to forget about it and she sat down and devoured her food.
"Careful there Angie, the bowl isn't eatable" Katie said with a smirk, the twins were quite impressed and erupted in laughter.
It was morning so the owls were arriving as per usual.
Angelina who didn't usually get mail saw her family's owl, blanc-voile, which meant white flight in French, flying towards her.
He landed on the table gracefully she took the letter from the bird and gave it some of her dry fruit.
"Well look whose miss popular." said Fred
"What does it say?" said Alicia
Angelina opened the letter and started to read
The letter read:
Dear Miss Johnson
It is my terrible duty to inform you that late yesterday on their way home from a very important meeting
Your parents were involved in a car crash unfortunately both of them passed after many attempts at resuscitations.
There are no words that can express how sorry I am.
Fremitus Koffler
Head of Muggle Reports
Angelina dropped the letter and started to breathe very vigorously. She felt like someone had taken her something from her.
Slowly tears fell from her eyes
She was gasping for breath it was like someone was holding her under water and ha no air left, and no matter how hard she try to fight the water was flowing into
She couldn't believe she would never see her parents again never hug her mother again never have a lecture from her father again.
She wouldn't spend another happy Christmas with them.
She closed her eyes took a deep breathe and ran, ran as fast as she could.
"Angelina!" Fred yelled
"No don't, don't, leave her Fred. Look at the letter." Alicia said as grabbed Fred's arm
It gave her a numb feeling, she felt that if she could run forever than reality couldn't catch her she was fast approaching the bridge she closed her eyes and sprinted
But someone stopped her some one grabbed her arm she looked up and collapsed to her knees crying she couldn't stop the tears kept coming out flow like a river.
"What's wrong Johnson has someone else told you your not the captain of the team?" said Wood
"Please W… ood not not now, I I really can't fight, I-I m-my parents their their dead" Angelina cried through her sobbed
Her makeup was everywhere now
She stayed there grabbing Oliver's leg for comfort her tears hitting his shoes
"Ow god Angel i'm so, god what happened?"
Angelina couldn't even respond she was crying so hard
Oliver reached down and grabbed Angelina at her arms and lifted her up so she could cry on his chest.
He held her for a moment forgetting about the fight they had had the other night.
"Come on" he said as he walked with her on his chest
Wood came to a bench "sit here I will be right back" he whispered into her ear
Oliver walked up to Professor McGongal who was having a conversation with a prefect
"Excuse me professor I need the password for Dumbledore's office" he interrupted
"Mr Wood if you would kindly wait I wi---"
"NO! I need it now" he cut in again
"And what reason would that be Mr Wood" she snapped back at him
He glanced over at Angelina and made sure that McGongal saw her to
"Oh I see, you were right to come and get it, the password is Demiguise" She said kindly
"Thankyou" he said
"Come on Angelina let's go." he said rasing her from the bench.
Knock Knock Knock
"Come in!" Dumbledores' low and bellowing voice said
Wood came through the door with Angelina still crying her heart out
"Oh whatever is wrong Miss Johnson" said Dumbledore concerned
"M my… my… pa…. "she couldn't even finish the sentence before bursting into tears again
"Miss Johnson follow me, wait there one second Mr Wood."
Angelina left Oliver and followed Dumbledore voluntarily
"Please sit here Miss Johnson." Said dumbledore.
He pointed to an oval shaped chair cushioned it was dark blue with blue satin curtains drawn back
Angelina sat down and instantly fell asleep
Dumbledore laid her down on her side and her body curled up.
He went back to Oliver
"It is easier for one to sort out their problems when asleep especially in times of great grief." He informed Oliver
"Yes well her parents they….they passed." Even Oliver had trouble getting it out,
"I know." Dumbledore said then seeing the surprised look on Oliver's face he continued "It is my school I know what is going on."
"Soo I guess I will go now." Wood said as got out of the chair, which he had made himself quite comfortable in.
"No no Mr Wood sit back down please." He said as he watched him sit slowly back down.
"Now you were the first person she opened up to she trust you and must stay with her." He stated standing up
"But I Don't know if you know but well, you see me and Johnson we aren't exactly on speaking terms at the moment maybe you should get one of her other friends like Spinnet or Bell or.."
Dumbledore soon interrupted after getting sick of the entertainment that Wood's mumbling had provided
"Mr Wood if I am not correct you just referred to yourself as one of Miss Johnson's, she came to you, she stopped at you. Now listen have you ever come across a portrait of a beautiful woman sleeping in a bed, she never wakes up but she moves in her sleep occasionally.
"Yes on the 4th floor, right?" he murmured
"You can take her there. There are two rooms and a common room you will stay there until it is otherwise said" Dumbledore instructed
"Oh ok" Wood said
Then there was a long, long awkward silence.
"Well what are you still doing here. Take Miss Johnson to her room, then you must get your belongings, oh and of course Miss Johnson's. Go on now."
Wood walked to the chair and picked Angelina and draped her over his shoulder.
He nodded to Dumbledore and started to leave.
"Oh and Mr Wood the password is recovery"
Wood looked back once then left.
