Lavender sighed in your direction, "Parvati...we can't tell my folks...most families might be ok with homosexuals but they just aren't."You feel your heart break inside your chest,you came out to your parents who accepted and supported you and you just wanted Lav to finally be yours. "I can't be with you if its just in a broom cupboard Lav. I love you so much it hurts but I won't be your toy..." You turn away before she sees your tears."Pav,please...I love you too much to give up." Her voice breaks into a sob as you leave the room without another word.
Lavender lies on the floor clutching your arm like it anchors her to the very earth,blood pouring out of her throat.
She tries to speak but an awful gurgle came out instead,breaking your thoughts.
"Lav,shh...I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner,i'm sorry I left you...I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough." You hug her tight as sobs wrack your body,the light leaving her eyes. Your scream of pure agony making people look in sympathy. It hadn't been a secret that you loved each other,suddenly a pair of arms wrap around you and a hand strokes your hair softly as Dean tries to comfort you.
You don't remember much of the next few hours. You register Seamus sobbing with you over the death of his closest friend. You register Dean holding both of you and coaxing you to the common room. You remember laying down on the couch and then darkness.
All you could think of was that you failed Lavender, you looked for her but it was too late Greyback had almost gotten you to but you fought hard with Dean and Seamus at your side...but she was already dying.
