Friendship: Lavender/Parvati

Parvati Patil, age 23, was to be wed on the following Friday to come. Her wedding planner was doing a remarkable job so far to deal with Parvati and her orders. The wedding was to go perfectly without a hitch.

"Miss Patil, have you decided what you want your wedding palette, your wedding color, to be?" asked Ms. Coral, the wedding planner.

Parvati smiled a smile that didn't truly reach her eyes as she recalled an earlier memory.

The Great Battle of Hogwarts had finally come to an end. Throughout the entire Great Hall, wails and cries could be heard as the living mourned for the dead.

Parvati Patil, being one of them, mourned for the loss of her best friend. Parvati cried as she saw Lavender's body being taken away. In her years of Hogwarts, she formed a deep bond between the other Gryffindor girl and herself. Lavender Brown was not only her best friend but her sister as well. She remembered the times where the two would stay up late to talk about anything, she remembered the times where Lavender lend her a shoulder to cry on, and she remembered the times when they were happy.

Parvati and Lavender were almost inseparable wherever they went. She knew some people didn't like Lavender for how they thought she acted but that was just because they didn't know her well. Lavender was an honest girl she didn't try to hide the truth but she wasn't uncaring she was just brutally honest as harsh as the truth sounded. She was loyal to those who cared for her, and she was brave when she needed to be brave. She was determined and devoted, Lavender had her insecurities as well, what girl didn't?

It was the way that Lavender picked herself up from every malicious comment thrown her way that Parvati admired. Lavender was her friend in which she could confide in, in which she could tell her everything or anything on her mind but she no longer would be able to. Seeing Lavender still on the ground was a heart-wrenching sight to bear.

She didn't only lose a friend that day, no she lost more than that, she lost a sister. Realization hit Parvati hard. She didn't have Lavender to laugh and giggle with, she didn't have Lavender to rant to, and she didn't have Lavender to truly be free around.

Lavender, who represented love, devotion, grace, elegance, and caution, would no longer breathe another breath. She would no longer be with Parvati and she would no longer be alive. Parvati cried and cried for weeks to come with those thoughts running through her head. She cried when the memorial was being held, and it was then then that she realized another thing. Lavender would always live on in her heart

As Parvati returned to the present she gave her planner a sad smile she responded,

"Lavender."

"Oh, what a nice choice, did you know Lavender represents a promise of a new adventure?" Ms. Coral asked delighted.

"Yes, I know," Parvati softly said as she fondly stared out the window into the gardens.

Lavender Brown had given her a new adventure when they befriended each other in their First Year so it was only fitting that now Lavender gave her a new adventure as she got married. She knew if Lavender were to still be alive that she would be without a doubt her best bridesmaid so for Parvati in way this was a tribute to her dear beloved friend.

"Miss Patil, Am I correct to assume that Lavender means something important to you?" Ms. Coral asked out of curiosity for her client didn't seem to be aware that tears were softly falling on her face.

Parvati breathed a big breath of fresh air coming from the gardens and she turned her face to respond, "Yes, it does."

Lavender was very special to her and will always be as long as she lived in Parvati's

Heart.
