Monster

by LOTRRanger

He said he was a monster. I told him he was ridiculous. He said he was dangerous. So I told him he was an idiot. He said I was right. Now a series of drabbles.

3. Yours To Hold

Ramblings With Ranger: I do not own Harry Potter or Skillet. This is from Charity's POV, before Monster. This is based of the Skillet song Yours To Hold.

Yours To Hold

I watched him walk through the crowded hallways of Hogwarts, sometimes without his friends. He would laugh. He would snort. He would grin. He would frown. He would roll his eyes. He would joke with his friends. But he wasn't here. He was somewhere, far away, here in body only.

I wanted to talk to him, to laugh with him, to be his friend. But I'm not a brave Gryffindor, I'm just a first year Ravenclaw who hides behind her books. He doesn't even know my name. But I know his. Remus John Lupin, first year Gryffindor.

Someday he'll know that I was always there for him, even if in spirit only.

I watched him stand there alone in the shadows, waiting for his friends. That's where he stands when he's alone. He likes the shadows. He's shy, like me.

He was hurting, I knew he was. I didn't know why. I wanted to help him, however I could. I wanted to give him a big hug and tell him that everything would be alright. But I don't.

Someday he'll know that I will always be there for him.

I'm waiting for the right day. I'm waiting 'till I catch his eye. Then I'll let him know.

I caught his eye.

So I gave him a hug and he blushed.

I smiled and he blushed harder.

"You looked like you needed a hug." I told him simply. He needs to stop blushing.

But I have a study partner now.
