(...I had to find you, To Tell you I need you...)
I wheeled around, looking for her. She was standing under one of the stands, trying to keep dry, though her hair was plastered to her face, and she looked as though she were covered in mud.
"What're you doing out here?" She shouted over the howling wind, and I ran for cover, straight towards her as another jolt of lightning landed closer than I had expected. She'd never liked lightning.
"Looking for you!" I said, as though it was the simplest thing in the world. "What're you doing out here?"
"Flying." She lifted her right hand, showed me the broom she was holding, "And soaking myself. What does it look like?"
"Looks like you're trying to freeze yourself to death." She let out a giggle, but stifled it immediately.
"You've found me, what do you want?"
"Come inside, katie-"
"I'm not done. I like the rain." A burst of thunder and she screamed and ducked, "More than I like thunder." I laughed loudly and she whimpered again. "Prick."
"Too right." A burst of lightning and thunder, and she screamed and cowered.
"My mum used to hold onto me when a storm hit." She said as she regained her composure, "she said there was nothing to be scared of, that someone would always keep me safe."
We stood together in silence for five long minutes, then, as another bolt of lightning hit the stand above us, and she screamed again, I swept her into my arms, and whispered, without thinking, that she was safe with me.
"I'm sorry, Katie." I found the words falling from my lips as she buried her head into my chest, trying to pretend we were alone, and in the castle, and she wasn't afraid, wasn't crying. "I'm so, so sorry."

A/N: OK, finally acknowledging this as a story arc. There are several in the fic, broken up, as they were with "Swing, Swing," but... this one had to go together... : ) there are two more of this arc, but this is DEFINITELY my favourite of the four.
Review,
Thanks
