I was sitting in the Three Broomsticks the night she came in. I didn't know that she would be coming. Or how she would impact my life. All I knew was that my brother was dead, and that I would never be George again. Would never be the same old me.
I heard someone jangle the bell on the front door from my table in one of the side rooms, and heard a sweet voice greet Madam Rosmerta, but I didn't thinking anything of it.
I heard the quietest of footsteps stop in the doorway.
I heard her sweet, loud voice, even when quiet; greet a passing friend that I couldn't care less about.
I had lost my best friend, and they all hadn't.
"Can I sit down?" she was standing beside me, now. Gesturing at the vacant seat next to me. I couldn't appreciate it then, but if I had known what the future would bring I would have thought her the beautiful. It had been the hottest of summer days, but she was the only one not sweating. Besides me, who had been inside all day from the heat. And from people.
I grunted and she took the seat without pausing for me to change my mind.
"Are you doing okay?" she looked me straight in the eyes; nobody had done that in a long while. She had black eyes. Just a hint of brown. But mostly black. That was what I had felt like for the longest time. She reflected everything I felt.
I shrugged and looked down into my cup of fire whisky. Why was she here? Didn't she know I didn't feel like talking t anyone? Didn't she see that I was no one to talk to? I was a nothing. A blah, to be more precise. But she kept going.
"Look, I'm here if you ever want to talk. About anything'' and she took my hand and pressed a piece of paper into it. I heard her chair squeak and her receding steps and waited for them to fade away totally before opening the rolled up parchment.
Call me:
753-256
(send an owl if you don't know how to use the phelytone)
Love,
Angelina.
And so my life began again.
