All The Things She Said
Chapter 2.
Freedom Comes At A Price
I'm in serious shit, I feel totally lost
Free. He was free.
Gregory Goyle was also very poor, forced to pay reparations for damages caused during the war. He was pretty sure he hadn't inflicted any damage at any point, he'd been at Hogwarts most of the time, but still he paid, because it meant he was free. He was an orphan; but no one saw it as such as he approached his nineteenth, he'd been an adult for two years now. And besides, his father had died because he deserved it, and his mother should have been strong enough to survive the grief. Gregorian Goyle had been given The Kiss a few weeks before his release. Gregory had no money to run Goyle Manor, even if he knew how to, and he was not sure entirely sure how he was to go about selling it either.
His freedom had come at a price. But at least he was free.
He was also a social pariah. He walked down wizarding streets, and the crowds would part, afraid of this burly character with hair that stuck up in all directions, never one to be tamed. Not only was he a former Death Eater, be he looked like a former Death Eater, which was the problem. No employment, and they all refused to give him a home.
He was free, but oh so completely lost.
He soon grew used to wandering the streets, mostly aimlessly, finding cover where he could and when could. He was used to the outdoors, a trait his father had passed down to him and he set up camp when night fell, and awoke the next day to continue his pleas for work, for a home, for food, for anything. Even a shred of kindness made his day.
The Muggles he had once taunted were the ones who looked upon him kindly. A small cafe near Diagon Alley, owned by an aging lady and cared for by her plump daughter would let him have free coffee refills every other day.
One day he was sat there, nursing his third coffee of the day, thumbing through an old copy of the Daily Prophet he had stumbled across.
It was then and there that he came across her name.
A/N: Here's another installment for you guys! Thanks for the reviews, do keep them coming, for they are much appreciated. If any of you have read Samson, you'll know that my chapters for this kind of fic will vary in length - don't worry, they won't all be this length! If you haven't read Samson, then I highly recommend it, because it's actually not that bad ;) Until next time.
