Submission for:
The 5 Drabbles Competition: Bill Weasley/Bellatrix Lestrange. Prompt: Graduation
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Bill sat among his small class of twelve as their instructor read their names out loud before presenting each of them with their badge. He waited through his colleagues' names until Mr Franklin finally said, "William Weasley."
His chest swelled with pride as he accepted his badge amidst the loud cheers from his brothers. He was now an official Curse Breaker.
He waved to his brothers before spotting a woman standing near the back. Those heavy-lidded eyes, that wild dark hair. She had shown. After spitting those hurtful words in his face, after vowing to never trouble herself with his well-being again, she had shown to see him on his day.
When the ceremony was over, Bill stepped off the stage and walked past his family to where he had seen her, but she was no longer there. Had it been a vision, a trick of the light?
"Bill, what are you looking for?" Charlie asked as he came to stand beside him.
Bill crouched, his eyes narrowing on two indentations in the grass, evidence that someone had been standing here for a while. She was here, but why had she come?
He stood and muttered, "Thought I saw something."
