prompt: (setting) Abandoned hospital


Luna and Harry marched in silent through the corridors. Their steps echoed loudly through the empty building, but noone was there to actually hear them.

It took Harry a while to notice Luna was crying.

Silent tears flickered over her cheak.

Harry took her hand, just her hand.

She looked up.

'They closed shortly afterwards,' she whispered quietly. 'And then Saint Mungo's was built. But mum, they cured.. tried to cure her here.'

She looked around. 'It's not being used anymore, but I remember visiting her...'

And then, she broke down onto the floor, breaking into tears.

Harry suddenly understood what her mother had meant to her. People may call her Loony, but noone ever looked at the beautiful girl she was inside and the horrible things she had had to go through. Carefully, he stroked her hand, and put his arm around her, trying hardly not to cry himself.
