Disclaimer: The Harry Potter world belongs to J K Rowling. I'm just a fan who likes to mess around with the characters.
A/N: Written for Pinky Green's Quotes/Sentences Challenge. My first fic so it's not the best.
She locks herself in her room, seals the door and windows with her tears, and all we hear is mad wild laughter echoing through the walls. It's been an age since we last saw her face, but the hours seep into days and the days seep into weeks and still the room remains barred. She has never been one to make weakness a spectacle.
Now it's Shrieks and Sobs and Yes My Lord No My Lord I Knew Not My Lord
A house elf is sent to check on her. The creature is big eyed and trembling and it drips saltwater onto the carpets as it begs Please Mistress Black Please Mistress Black but the magic that binds it is older and stronger and operates with a splash and crack.
Later, we find it hanging from the rafters, its neck smiling wetly and its clothes dyed red.
The day she returns to us, I am woken by a noise that shakes The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black to its foundations. I find her in the dust covered parlour, wand smoking and eyes blazing and a hole in the wall opposite. When I see what she has done I feel like the tapestry- empty and scarred and missing my middle part. She sweeps past me, black curls flying and pale skin mottled, while I touch the burn she has left. I feel like it is me that has been blasted, not the cloth.
Now it's Green Flashes and Ickle Baby Potter and Crucio Crucio Crucio
I know not to speak of her again. She has never been so betrayed, and the bitterness still clouds her mind. There are those hearts that mold back together no matter how shattered, the pieces slip into place as easily as if they had never been broken, and there are those hearts that never mend again once they are broke. Or if they do mend, they heal themselves in a crooked and lopsided way, as if sewn together by a careless craftsman.
Now it's We Have Not Seen Her and She is No Sister of Ours and I Will Never Forgive You
