Chapter thirty-four: Ghost of Winston

It was Barry's first night back in the dorm and he was yet again having trouble sleeping, he finally sat up in annoyance that he wasn't going to fall asleep. He looked around,

"Andrew...?"

No sign of Andrew, no doubt he was still playing exploding snap with Andy. Barry put his glasses so he could get a better look around. Andrew's bags were still left unpacked, but it would be kind of pointless since they were leaving to go home soon anyway.

"Don...?"

Don was also absent from his bed, obviously gone for a walk with Jub. Barry thought about going down to the common room to go see if Andy could go up to see if Lemo was awake, but then he decided it was probably not a good idea. Lemo was still morning the death of Winston and had become quite moody, so she wasn't the greatest - Barry froze as he felt a cold sensation come over his legs,

"Holy shit I'm paralysed!" Barry shouted. Movement came from Thomas's bed and Seamus poked his head out,

"Barry, are you really paralysed or just having a really weird declaration moment?"

Barry stared at him in shock,

"Seamus, is Thomas in there!"

Seamus frowned,

"What are you on about? I'm just in my bed, sleeping!"

"Seamus! That's Thomas's bed!"

Seamus continued to frown,

"Shut up Barry." He then put his head back behind the drapes of his bed.

"Why does everyone say that!" Barry cried in frustration, but he always knew there was something too friendly about Seamus and Thomas though...Barry tried to go back to what he was thinking about previously, when he felt the cold feeling going further up his legs. Barry whimpered and pulled back the covers to find-

"Winston? What are you doing here?"

Winston looked up at Barry,

"Oh, like I can really answer-Hey! Check it out I can answer you!"

Barry stared in shock for the second time in five minutes,

"W-Winston! Your supposed to be dead!"

"No shit, I am dead! That's why I can talk to you!"

"Oh..."

"Yea. Now, I want you to go see mum-"

"Lemo?"

Winston sighed impatiently,

"Obviously, now I want you to go see her and tell her I'm fine with be dead. I can go where ever I want without her having to worry. I can't be eaten by Mrs. Norris, infact I can scare the shit out of the bitch-" Winston said gleefully.

"Wow, you have as bad as language as Lemo..." Barry commented.

"Hey, I spent three quarters of my life with her. What can I say? It's contagious! Now, what else did I want you to do for me..."

"Wait a second! Why don't you go see Lemo?"

"Me! See her! Barry, Barry, she was my mother and I respected her...But the girl drove me nuts! INSANE! The constant squeezing and cuddling and baby talk. Bloody hell, the girl has serious issues! I never got a moment of peace, even when I got put in the hospital wing, she still wouldn't leave me alone! God, I can't go see her, she'll somehow get me inclosed and-"

"Winston, your a ghost, there's no way you can be inclosed."

"There isn't?"

"You just drift through stuff..."

"Oh! I do, don't I? Oh, well see you then. And yes I know you hated me, so if it makes you feel better...The feeling was mutal..."

Barry rolled his eyes,

"Bye Winston."

"Good night, nice haunting ya," then Winston vanished.

Within moments, Gryffindor tower echoed with the excited scream of Lemo,

"WINSTON! MY BABY! YOU TALK! YOUR AREN'T GONE FOREVER! COME HERE BABY!"

Had to give Lemo some closure... lol Please read 'n' review, as you lovely guys always do...
