Owen rubs his eyes after Minho told him of the defense against the dark arts class with that Moody guy showing off the imperious curses.
What the actual hell?
"That's...not right." Said Katniss.
"That's not right indeed. That's fuck up." Said Owen.
"What do you want to do?" Asked Minho.
"Just go after him, we'll look for Neville and talk to him." Said Owen.
"You can't." Said Minho.
"Why the bloody well not? We're not leaving him to all his lonesome to depress about it." Said Lucifer.
He agreed with that one with the Devil. Something he'd never thought he would say, not out loud anyway.
"Moody's talking to him." Said Minho.
"Ok. Four go with Katniss and get the kid. Minho, go and talk to Harry." Said Owen.
Not his day.
So soon enough Minho was back with Harry, and geez...the kid looked bad.
"Minho told us about Moody." He said.
"I'm fine." Said Harry
No, he isn't. And they all knew, Harry included, they all knew he was lying.
"I think that's a lie, Buddy." Said Owen gentle.
"I've always knew how they died, especially from last year after the dementors. But now I know what killed them. Nothing special." Said Harry.
Owen sighed, how the hell were they going to get through to him if he's so closed off? They'd better find a way to get through to him.
"I know it must be horrible finding out the way you did, trust me I do know. We all do, at one point or another. IT must had shaken you up. In fact, he shouldn't had allow to do that. Have you ever heard the saying, it's okay to not be okay? When I was in he hunger Games, I had to be strong for my sister, Prim, for my mom, for my best friend, Gale, for our mentor, Haymitch, for my husband, Peeta and for other people that I cared for. But it wasn't until after he war I could let out my sadness, my grief and pain out for the first time. It;s okay to let it out." Said Katniss.
Owen wasn't sure when the numb in his throat had came up but it did its job, Harry lowered his head and start to cry so he went over and held him closely.
"It's okay, Hare-Bear. Let it all out." Said Owen as he rub his back.
"Thank you." Said Harry after he had his cry.
"No probs. Like I said, you can come to us if something or somebody is bothering ya." Said Owen.
Owen then thought Harry was going to tell him something but thought better of it and left.
Damn. So they did the same as ever for the next few weeks, keep an eye on Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, Daphne Greenglass, her younger sister and Luna Lovegood.
