Sometimes I go out by myself, and I look across the water.
Valerie Rigby was troubled. It was just after the Battle of Hogwarts. Just months before, Eleanor Rigby, her sister was getting married. Then came that terrible voice. The strong alpha male chimpanzee form of her Uncle Jerry's Patonus came and informed them of the war. But it brought visitors. Death Eaters killed her family. Her mum Susie, her dad Bill and she escaped.
Her tears fell into the harsh sea.
And I think of all the things, of what you're doing, and in my head a paint a picture.
Valerie set up her paints and sketchbook. She started painting. As she painted she remembered.
The Death Eaters burst through the stained-glass windows. Bellatrix stood over Eleanor and her husband-to-be Gary. "Crashed your little wedding have I?" she cackled. "Avada Kedavra!" she screeched. Valerie was hiding. "Come on, let's go." Lucius Malfoy said. So Valerie buried Eleanor Rigby and Gary Jones and she knew she would never forget them.
Since I've came home, well my body's been a mess. And I miss your ginger hair and the way you used to dress.
Valerie was a recovering anorexic. She couldn't keep food down as she watched her beautiful titian-haired sister, who was wearing the patchwork purple and teal dress she made, being murdered.
Valerie had also lost more than her beloved sister and her health. She lost her long-term partner, Bryan. He had left her, and was notorious for getting into jail.
Oh, won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me! Why don't you come on over,
She missed Bryan, even more so now she found out she was with child. Bryan's child. She felt like a fool.
Valerie.
Valerie.
Valerie.
Valerie.
How she hated that name!
Hope you didn't have to go to jail.
He could be in prison right now and she wouldn't know.
Put your house out up for sale.
Well, he didn't have a house, more of a two bedroomed flat. But she loved it.
Did you get a good lawyer?
Self explanatory really.
I hope you didn't catch a tan.
A tan would look good on him, he could pull it off.
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you.
BRYAN'S NOT GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you shopping anywhere?
Probably not. He hated shopping.
Change the colour of your hair?
HE COULDN'T DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She loved his thick, black hair.
Are you busy?
She needed some company. Her family was depressed and most of her friends were in hiding.
Did you have to pay that fine, you were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
Let's not talk about that. Let's just say it was a LOT of money.
Well since I came home, well my body's been a mess. And I miss your tender hair, and the way you liked to dress.
FLASHBACK!
It was bedtime to Ellie and Val.
"Ellie, I can't sleep. Can I sleep with you?"
"OK. But only this once. And no dribbling."
"Thank you Ellie."
And Val climbed into Ellie's bed; the last thing she could recall was her sister's hair smelling faintly of freshly picked apples.
Oh
won't you come on over, stop making a fool out
of me, oh why don't you come on over,
Valerie. Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Bryan used to say her name like that.
Well sometimes I go out by myself, and I look across the water.
Valerie shed a tear. It fell into a puddle she was coming to. She realised it had been raining, and that she had walked a mile, just thinking.
And I think of all the things what you're doing, and in my head I paint a picture.
Valerie walked into her house. She looked at the sketchbook she had been drawing on earlier. It showed the two people she cared most for; Bryan and Eleanor. She smiled. She could still remember them.
