I own nothing.
A girl's heart
It was finally over. Lord Voldemort was dead. There would be peace finally. People would be able to come out more often. Rhea grinned as she thought of finding her cousin Austin and celebrating with him. But where was h? He was supposed to meet her in the Ravenclaw common room. Not that there was much left of the castle. But towers were some of the few places that were standing unharmed. Rhea grew tensed at five minutes passed. There weren't many present in the common room; most of the people were in the Great Hall. Maybe Austin too was there...
Rhea hurriedly left the common room and ran down the spiral staircase, almost tripping once. She stumbled in the Great Hall, not stopping to control her ragged breathing but trying to find Austin among the crowd. She pushed and ran around the wizards and whites who were far from complaining. But she couldn't find Austin. Where was he? What if he...
No, Rhea couldn't let her thought wander there. She needed to find him. She was starting to imagine her Aunt's face, full of sadness. No, no, no!
She started to yell his name. An unknown person nearby stopped her.
"What's the matter young lady? Are you looking for someone?" The man asked kindly.
"Yes, my cousin, Austin. He was supposed to meet me in the Ravenclaw Tower but," Rhea realized that there were tears on her face. Angrily, she brushed them away.
"There were some others who were found d-" the man started.
"He- is-not-dead," she yelled and went out to check.
She was once again stopped.
"Rhea, what's the matter?" said a boy with dark hair. His right eye was swollen, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, but he seemed pleased with himself.
"Sam, I... Austin, he was supposed to meet me in the common room," said Rhea breathlessly.
"Rhea, calm down Okay? Take a deep breath." Sam put his hands on her shoulders, "Where did you see him last?"
"I don't know he was fighting some Death Eater outside. If anything happens to him..." she trailed off.
"We will find him. I'll help you out. Relax." Said Sam reassuringly, "C'mon, let's go."
Both of them ran outside, but that night Rhea didn't only find Austin, she found someone special too.
