Chapter 14: Melody Unfolded
I awoke with blood and tears strained down my face. I was in a quiet room alone. Or I thought I was. I glanced across it, and there was Hermione. She was sleeping, her soft breathing giving the room a perfect mood. I looked out the window to the grassy fields below. I could see the large lake I had once swam in, the forest I had once explored, the campus I had once loved. My old home.
There was a knock on the door, but my voice was too dry to speak, so I waited for them to come in. The door creaked open, and there was Ron and the children. He had a worried look on his face, and he opened the door wider for the kids to come in. They rushed to my bed, and then Hermione. Ron stepped over to me, and wiped some blood off of my face. I wrapped my arms around his waist, and leaned my head against his tall body.
"It's okay Parvati, everything's okay…" he whispered.
"Nothing will ever be okay," I said monotone, letting go of his body and looking out the window.
"But Voldemort is gone now, and he won't ever bother you again," Ron said, with a manner of hope in his voice. "Hermione dragged you out of the forest and to Hogwarts. She told us everything that she knew."
I looked to Hermione. She seemed so peaceful. Will and Fay had left, gone down to Dumbledore's office. I looked back into Ron's eyes and with a flicker of love, I spoke.
"Take care of yourself Ron."
"I will Parvati."
And with that he left.
I gazed out the window into the tall weeds of where I had once roamed with my friends and my family. I looked into the Quidditch field, where I had admired Harry as he played. I looked into the shiny waters, as my song unfolded. And as I lay there, silently, with the world to myself, my dreams solace once again, and a part of me already dead, I breathed my last breath as my waltz of regret began to play.
The End.
