Company

It was a particularly chilly day in late September and Harry decided to go to the library instead of staying with Ron and Hermione in the warm and cosy Common Room.

On route to his destination, he heard a few muffled and quite painful sobs coming from a deserted classroom.

Even though he knew he would be intruding on their privacy, Harry poked his head around the corner, and found a quite distraught Susan Bones. He had of course heard the awful news about the murder of her aunt, Madam Bones, at the hands of Lord Voldemort. Even thought he himself had lost his parents at his hands, he couldn't begin to imagine the pain she must be experiencing. Susan had had fifteen years with her aunt, fifteen years of memories, and that was something that Harry didn't have.

Just as Harry was about to leave the doorway, Susan lifted her head and whispered, "You don't have to leave Harry. In fact, I'd quite like some company."

The pair sat in a comfortable silence, steadily edging closer towards each other until Susan was in Harry's arms.

"Don't allow them to get inside your head. Be thankful for the time you had together, and the wonderful times you had. Some people aren't so lucky as to have those," Harry whispered into her hair.

Harry blinked back a tear as he thought about all the potential that had been robbed from him; first when Lord Voldemort murdered his parents, and second when Bellatrix Lestrange had murdered his Godfather, Sirius Black.

Feeling his body begin to shake, Susan turned in Harry's arms and took his head in both her hands and swiped away his tears.

Their eyes locked, and both of them felt their heart rates increase significantly as they closed the small gap between them and allowed their lips to touch.
