The rain had now hidden away the tears that were falling down her cheeks. The sound drowned away her small sobs. Sarah's thoughts rapped around the night she found out Fred was dead. She stood off the swing and made her way home.
"Hello Munchy, you hungry?" she looked over at the orange striped cat who looked a bit like Garfield lying in the corner. Munchy was Fred's gift to her the first year they got together. Sarah picked her up and brought her to the kitchen where the cat nip was. Munchy jumped out of her arms and made her way towards the cabinet and waited for Sarah to bring out the food. "You are a hungry little bugger now aren't you?" Sarah couldn't help but smile.
"Sarah!" Fred jumped and wrapped his arms around her waist, "I have something for you." He moved his hands up to her eyes, covering them. He guided her towards the door. "Are those meows?" she asked trying to pry off Fred's hands from her eyes. "Maybe" he said with a wide grin plastered on his face. He knew how much Sarah loved cats, his hands slowly lowering from her face. "Oh my gosh! Fred, you got me cat?" she said with joy while cuddling with the kitten Fred had gotten her. "I know how much you love cats so I thought, why not get you one?" She turned around and wrapped her arms around Fred's neck. "Thank you, Fred. You know, you really didn't need to." He wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered, "I know I didn't need to but.. I wanted to." Sarah smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek. "I love you, Fred Weasley. You know that right?" "I love you too, Sara Cain"
She was brought back to reality by the purrs and Munchy rubbing her fur against her foot. She realized she had been crying and wiped away the tears from her face before picking up Munchy to give her the cat nip she wanted. "Is that good?" she asked and the cat continued eating.
*thump thump* Sara stood up from where she had been crouching and made her way towards the door. As soon as she opened it, a look of shock plastered across her face.
"Hi.. umm.. how are you?" he said.
"I'm fine, I guess" she answered in a whisper," Come in"
The man at the door made his way towards the couch and Sara followed.
"Why are you here?" she asked still shocked.
"I—umm. I wanted to talk to you," He said, "about my last year at Hogwarts."
"Sara" he said not looking into her eyes," it's not working."
"What?" She said with tears threatening to burst out of her eyes. "We were doing just fine."
"No, we're not." He said as he brought his hands up to her face. "I'm miserable with you Sara. Don't you see that?" He looked away and called it off.
Sara was crushed and heartbroken—she ran up to Ravenclaw tower, tears running down her face and cried her pour little heart out once in her dorm. It was over the Christmas holidays and Sara's friends all went home. She was alone and hurt. The next few weeks, she refused to leave her dorm. Not even to eat.
"Sara, come out."
"I don't want to. I don't wanna see that bloody arse's face"
"You're gonna have to face it," she said. "Its been weeks since the last time you came out of the dorm. You're lucky classes haven't resumed or you're dead meat. I'm sure you're famished by now."
She was right, Sara thought to herself. All she's had since he called it off were crackers she had in her trunk and Merlin knows how long that's been in there.
"Fine," She agreed then both Sara and Iris Munch, her best friend since first year made their way to the great hall.
"What do you possibly wanna talk about from then?" she hissed
"I'm sorry, Sara." His voice breaking as he spoke. "I was a complete arse for believing the rumors."
"What rumors?"
"A few weeks prior to the day I broke up with you, I heard rumors about—about you and Flint."
"And you believed them?" Sarah looked at the man in front of her and their eyes met. She could see all the regret in his eyes and tears threatened to drop.
"Yes, I did." He said "I wish I hadn't and I wish I kept you. A few weeks after, Iris came up to me and told me the truth. That it was Flint who spread those rumors."
"Why didn't you come back for me?"
"Because you were so happy with Fred." He looked down at their feet before speaking again, "I wanted you back but after I hurt you but I—"
"I think you should leave now." Sarah cut him off. "I... I just can't deal with this right now."
He nodded sadly, gave her a hug and left.
"Munchy, what do you think he was trying to do?" the cat jumped on her lap and cuddled, "Sometimes I wish I was you. All I'd do is eat and sleep."
She chuckled and made her way to the loo. It's been a long day, she needed rest.
The next day, she woke up with a few letters left for her.
Sara,
I've missed you! Where in Merlin's name have you been hiding? I have so much to tell you. Draco and I have a baby! Her name is Samantha and I'd really love for you to be her godmother. Come by the house once in a while please? All of us really want to see you. I'm having a party at my house. Ron, Harry, Ginny and the rest of the gang will be there. I trust you will be too? Please! Owl means soon as you get this! I love you, hun!
Hermione
Sarah looked down at the letter and realized she's missed them terribly. She wrote back to Hermione saying she'll come to the party. The rest of the letters were bills so she set them on the table and made her way to the kitchen.
"I wanted you back"
His words played over and over again in her head. What did he want from me now? She thought. She shrugged and made herself some pancakes, set them on the table and enjoyed her breakfast while Munchy enjoyed her cat nip.
The day of Hermione & Draco's party had come and Sara took out her broom and made her way to the Malfoy's.
"Sara!" Hermione ran up to the door and gave her friend a big hug. "I'm so happy you came, love!"
"I've missed you guys terribly I couldn't pass up the chance to see you."
Sara went over to catch up with the others. Harry and Ginny had 3 kids. Ron had gotten a job. Luna and Neville got married in Vegas. George is doing fine with the shop even without his twin but his gags aren't as great as they were. He's missing his other half so no one blamed him.
More and more people arrived to welcome the baby Hermione and Draco were blessed with and the drinks had come.
Sara got herself a fire whiskey then made her way to the garden. She sat by the pond and her thoughts pondered over his words again.
"I want you back"
"Hi Sara," a voice said from behind her. "How have you been?"
"I'm fine, how are you?"
"I'm doing fine." He said. "Sara, can we please talk about it?"
"Fine," Sara turned around to face him.
"Can you forgive me?"
"I've forgiven you years ago, Oliver." Sara made her way towards the bench across the garden.
"So, where does this leave us?"
"Friends," She said bluntly. "This leaves us at friends."
"But do I have a chance of being with you again?" his soft amber eyes meeting her mysterious periwinkles ones as he looked up at her.
"I don't know." she said looking away.
"Umm, well. I hope I can see you more often." With that, he stood up and gave her a kiss on the cheek before walking away.
A/N: I'm a beginner at writing so please, I need reviews! Be honest about what you think? I've also already written Chapter 2 and 3 but I'll post it in a few days.
~~ Much Love.
