Just The Girl
Preface: Strange
It was a strange day.
It was a strange day because, for the first time in a long time, the Great Hall was silent. A dead weight hung heavily over the students creating an unhealthy, stifling atmosphere.
It was also strange because four boys were seated silently at the Gryffindor table. Not talking, not making a mess, not looking around. The loudest was silent, the thoughtful one thoughtless, the inquisitive one blank and the obnoxious, argumentative one comforting the recipient of his obnoxious arguments.
Strange.
The Headmaster Albus Dumbledore stood and surveyed the faces of the students. He sighed heavily and began. "There is no way to sufficiently commemorate the precious life of one of our students. Helena Damask will not be forgotten by those who knew of her, and forever remembered by those who did. There will be a minutes' silence to remember one of our most respected and hard-working students. I hope you will use this minute to recall the time shared with Helena wisely. Thank you."
The bell sounded; its knell reverberating round the entire school signalling the silence that was to ensue. Everyone stood up or froze where they were. After a few seconds of expected stool scraping and fidgeting everything was still.
