Finding Hope
Chapter 1
So many people are scared f death itself. Will it hurt? Well, it depends. For me, i was lucky. I got hit with the killing curse. I died in an instant, unlike Tina. Tina was stronger than i was. She always was, even in death she looked out for me. I will never see her beautiful smile, or talk about boys with her, or even the small stuff. Things i took for granted. We didn't make it when they asked the juniors to go home. We missed it by a second. It was so... I cant describe it. I was so scared.
I really don't like Peeves. He likes to walk through me even when i have reptetably asked him not to. It's weird though. At Hogwarts. Life does truly go on, for most. Some of them are stuck in the castle, but most got to go to the other life. To be free. I guess i shouldn't really complain. The teachers let us sit in with the students if we behave ourselves. For me that's easy. Even as a ghost people see through me. Which is ironic i know.
I walk the halls and remember what it was like, to be alive. It was simple. Tina and I went everywhere together. We had all the same classes. It was the perfect oppurtunity to socialise. Just not in Proffessor McGanogal's class. She could frighten even a lion truth be told. She was a woman made out of sterner stuff as my grandmother would say if she was alive and well, but she too went to the other side when i was only ten years old. I miss her, i miss Tina. And Ben and Sarah. Everybody. It's just me, the only one in our circle left. Really, for a place full of people, it should never make you feel this alone. Yet here i am. Forever now. The students are nice to me, Proffessor McGanogall tells them my name. Lucinda she says, Lucinda. I always say to them, my friends always call me Luce.
