"Godric, do you smell that?" Parvati wrinkled her nose in disgust as the stench of the harbour reached her nostrils. "It's smells like rotten fish! I guess they washed ashore somewhere around here, don't you think?"
She turned her head to look at her girlfriend, only to find that there was no longer anyone walking beside her.
"Lav?" She turned on her heels. A couple of meters behind her, Lavender was clutching her stomach, and throwing up above the sand.
"Lav, are you alright?" Parvati ran towards her. "What happened?"
Lavender gave a short, mirthless laugh. "It's nearly full moon."
Parvati looked at her, confused.
"If you thought the stench was bad, try experiencing it with enhanced senses," Lavender explained in between retches."It's taking my breath away, so foul."
"Come on, let's get you out of here."
With the support of her lover, Lavender managed to get as far away from the stench as possible. She knew halfway that Parvati couldn't smell it anymore, but to her, it was as present as it had been a couple of minutes ago. It was one of the things Parvati could never fully understand, and that made Lavender sad. But she knew Parvati was trying to understand, and that was more than she could have hoped for.
