Written for Arithmancy Assignment 8.
AN: The age of consent is 16 in the England I just want clarify that for anyone who isn't from the England.
Pairing Lavender/Moody.
She was sixteen and still innocent from the full horrors of the world, but he wasn't a teenage boy or innocent from the terrors of the world.
Was attracted he to her because she hadn't seen the horrors yet? and because she wasn't scarred or broken yet?.
The answer was yes.
Was what he was doing with her wrong?
The answer, he wasn't sure anymore.
She came to him and kept coming back to him.
He didn't know why she kept coming, it wasn't like his youth or beauty to offer her.
He can see the reality of the things to come chipping away at the innocence she has and it makes him want to weep.
But what can he do, it isn't like he can stop the world turning into chaos.
If he could, he would but not just for her for himself and for everyone else.
He couldn't stop it in the past, present or the things that were coming in the future.
He feels like he has failed her somehow by not being able to shield her from the horrors of the world.
She's crying and he can't offer her any real comfort because he he needs someone to comfort him.
Albus was dead, she had seen his body and the Dark Mark in the sky; the one place in the world that was supposed to be safe was Hogwarts and even that had been snatched away from her.
He knows whatever they have was going to end soon, he couldn't afford to have something he cherished to be used against him.
They'd be no more his sneaking to see him during her Hogsmeade outings. They'd be no more seeing her at all.
She keeps sending him letters, word after word filled with confusion at the sudden cut off all contact.
He wants to answer, he really does, but he can't take the risk of her being used against him.
He also knows that any day he could be killed and it'd be easier for her if they were no longer close.
This he tells himself everyday because he has to so he doesn't cave and contact her.
