Title: Ten Years

Author: Duh, me! Night Essence

Rating: PG

Summary: Pansy visits the graveyard.


She was scared. It was the first time in a long time, that she had been truly and absolutely afraid. Pansy Parkinson was not a woman known for being afraid or for being anything other than cheery. But today was the exception. On this day every year, Pansy took off from work and stayed home. Usually she would stay in bed and cry until she had no tears left, but today she felt the need to venture to the graveyard. Standing quietly a few feet from Theodore, Pansy looked at the headstone. The brown haired girl let tears trail down her cheeks as she remembered. Her friends had asked her to come and help pick out a headstone for her best friend. But she refused, how could she not, no one wants to bury their best friend. Her tears were ones of guilt, she should have been here, she was her best friend after all. It was the reason she was afraid.

She knew coming here would make it all real, and she would have to come to terms with the fact that her best friend died in a war, neither of them wanted to get involved in. Unfortunately they had got involved, and now one of them was dead. Tears continued to slip out of sad caramel eyes. Today was different than all the other days Pansy took off from work, because today the tears wouldn't stop. Today was the first time in ten years that Pansy had been afraid, and as she stood here the fear lessened and overwhelming despair took over. They girl fell to her knees and sobbed. She didn't feel Theodore's arms wrap around her, offering her comfort he himself could not find. Together the two cried at their loss, and hoped they would not live long enough to make it to the next ten year mark. Because ten years is too long to be without a loved one.


Okay this one was longer, but it was because I couldn't get into Pansy's head, which is weird because I'm writing this I should be able to. Anyway review please.
