Warning: Mentions of incest.
I was merely a distraction, the one she came crying to when her boyfriend abandoned her for his brother, time after time.
I held her as she cried in my arms, wishing we could be so much more than friends, if only she could let Ron go.
But, inevitably she would return and get her heart broken once more. It is a vicious cycle, to be repeated throughout time.
I cannot say anything about my love for her, for fear that it would upset her even more, and who would help her then?
Perhaps, one day, my Gryffindor courage will return, so I can confess my love for her.
For now, I imagine that Padma is Lavender. Maybe, one day, it will be Lavender, not just my imagination.
