"Are you sure that he's fine?" Shiva asked as Ginny led her outside.
"He said he is," Ginny smiled as Shiva's concern was obviously more than concern of a friend.
"Ginny, there's a difference between saying he's fine and knowing he's fine," Shiva sighed as she looked back. "I saw scars that were indescribable."
"How did you see them, hmm?" Ginny's smile was mischievous. "Don't tell me you went ahead of Hermione."
"I did not!" Shiva flustered as she looked at the red-haired witch in astonishment. Ginny laughed as she pulled the blue-haired maiden towards the courtyard.
"What's the matter if you like him?" Hermione asked as she walked up to them. She had overheard their conversation and decided to join in.
Shiva held her necklace and sighed.

"Are you sure?" Harry asked as he saw Leon stand up.
"I only had a relapse. Do not worry." Leon took a deep breath and smiled. He closed his eyes and held his necklace close to him. To Harry, it was like he takes some kind of energy from it. Harry wondered about it for some time but hadn't had the chance to ask. Now's a good time for anything.
"Leon, where did you get that necklace?" Harry had hoped that he would answer but he wouldn't be disappointed if he didn't. Leon looked at him with sad eyes and walked towards the window.
"You trusted me so I have to trust you," Leon said. "Better come in here Ronald Weasley. You won't hear a thing out there once I start." Harry looked at the door puzzled but when he saw a red head appear, he smiled.
"Sorry," Ron sheepishly said as he entered and closed the door. Suddenly, Ron felt a wave pass through. Like an invisible barrier blocked the passage out.
"Sound proof." Leon explained. "What I am about to tell you does not leave this room." Even though he didn't see them, he felt them nod.
"Very well. This necklace belongs to my fiancé."
** ** **
"You are engaged?" Ginny stood there shocked. Earlier she had asked about Shiva's necklace.
"Were," she said. "I had lost him."
"How?" Hermione asked softly.
"We were separated in a skirmish. Next thing I knew I was encased in ice," Shiva sat by the fountain, trying to steady herself.
"You still love him?" Ginny asked. Shiva sadly smiled at her friend.
** **
"I still love her, that I could not contest," Leon was now pacing his office. Harry and Ron were eating a sandwich provided by their host. "I loved her to the point that I made myself insane."
"Regrets," Harry said softly as he remembered the professor's words.
"Aye, regrets. I have a lot of them."
** ** **
"What kind of regrets?" Ginny asked.
"I have regretted to tell him that I loved him," Shiva sighed. "I deeply do love him."
"But how can you be engaged when you haven't even told him that you love him?" Hermione asked, puzzled by the girls revelation.
"He was a knight, I was a lord's daughter. We were betrothed since birth by our parents."
"How did you come to love him?" Ginny asked.
"I didn't know he was my betrothed when I met him," Shiva smiled. "He was so gallant. He was also a pain in the butt."
"How so?" Hermione asked, genuinely interested.
"He was always patronizing me. Thinking I can't do half he can or something. To tell you the truth, I forgot what we were fighting about in the first place." Shiva sighed. A tear came down from her eye and ran down her cheek.
"I'm sorry if I brought up the subject," Ginny said softly.
*** *** ***
"It's alright," Leon said as he cleared his eyes. "I just wished that I could have another chance."
"Don't we all," Ron said. "But you look kind of wretched."
"Do I?" Leon asked.
"Yes. Like you're confused or something," Harry said as he noticed the professor's expressions.
"I am deeply confused," Leon sighed.
*** ***
"Why are you confused?" Ginny asked as Shiva looked up to the sky.
"Because I can experience love again," Shiva said as she sadly looked the two witches.
"Isn't that good?" Hermione asked, confused why the girl would think that way.
"Normally yes," Shiva sighed. "But..."
*** *** ***
"Wouldn't that desecrate my memory and vow to Lana?" Leon said as a slight blush crept into his face.
"Lana?" Harry asked. But then soon he realized that was his fiancé's name.
"She would want you to be happy," Ron said. Harry looked at his friend, surprised that he was capable of saying such things.
*** *** ***
"Lian always goes to great measures to make me happy," Shiva looked at the girls as if pleading. "But I feel that I have betrayed him."
"How?" Ginny asked, the suspense was killing her and Hermione.
"Because I love someone more that I had loved him."
*** ***
"What?" Harry shouted. Leon sighed and buried hid head in his hands.
"You heard me."
*** *** ***
"But how?" Ginny asked. "You just met the person."
"The first time I touched him, I felt that I am one with him," Shiva looked up to the heavens, seeing if his fiancé was listening.
*** ***
"Then tell her how you feel," Harry encouraged his teacher. Leon grasped his necklace and closed his eyes.
*** *** ***
"I'm not ready," Shiva said as she opened her eyes and let go of her necklace.
"You'd better be or he'll slip pass away from you," Ginny sighed and placed a comforting hand over her shoulder.
*** ***
"Regrets, Professor," Harry said as he removed his hand on Leon's shoulder.
"I know," he said as he looked out the window. Looking out he saw a distinctive blue-haired girl by the fountain. He smiled and gave a small wave, which she returned.
Sighing, both grabbed their own necklaces and closed their eyes.
