They were the best of friends.
From their first day in the Gryffindor dorms, they were inseparable. They had all the same interests, took all the same classes, read all the same Witch's Weekly articles.
They had gushed together when one had been asked to the Yule Ball—by a champion no less!—and cried together when the other's boyfriend broke her heart.
After that, they swore off boys. And, best friends that they were, they found the comfort and intimacy in each other's arms, in soft kisses and whispered words of affection.
And in the end, they fought together—side by side, just like always.
And when Parvati saw Lavender plummet over a railing, saw Fenrir Greyback jump on her best friend and snuff out what life might be left from her fall, she lost it. She went after the werewolf with everything she had.
She never stood a chance.
Years later, it was not the portraits of the Fat Lady or Greta Catchlove that Hogwarts students went to for gossip. Students sought out the two young, pretty ghosts wandering Gryffindor Tower, only ever found together with their fingers intwined, whispering secrets and gossip and sweet nothings to each other.
After all, they had promised each other. Best friends forever.
