I didn't realize I would ever need that crazy girl with the radish earrings.
"You know if you continue to sit there the Nargles might get you." A soft voice like a bell told me.
Truthly...I had completely forgotten about her until I saw her standing over me once again...
Just like when we were six...Her in that tree way above me. Her body trying to catch up with her mind which was completely in the skies.
Me still on the ground looking up at her with completely and utter confusion.
"Well...I don't care if the Nargles get me. After all I did. I deserve to have a punishment...and Nargles whatever they are will be fine." My voice thick with lack of sleep, nightmares keeping me away. My eyes puffy from crying too much.
We were both eleven now. Her hair still that blonde color; long and slightly wavey. And me, my hair still bright red like a muggle stop sign.
Her face so cheerful. My face full of grief no eleven-year-old's face should hold.
Her smile turning into a thoughtful look as she slid down the wall to be level with me. She seemed to be around the same height as me, so she sat up a little straighter and brought her hand to my head, gently placing it on her shoulder. The gesture seeming to come from someone older than eleven.
I remember asking her what Nargles were that day and many days after that.
We sat there together, in silence, she never answering my Nargle question...She never asking anything.
Not about the Chamber. Not why I was crying. And yet an hour seemed to past when I began talking a little about my first year.
It was the end of the year now, but I told her about my family and how I had been lonely without them when they were in school,and lonely when they had left me alone in school.
When I got to the Chamber parts, she surprised me by talking insteadook of telling her.
Instead she told me about creatures. Ones I had never heard of. Of course, she didn't mention Nargles.
I asked her why she didn't mention Nargles...
"It's for a selfish reason," She answered simply.
"What?" For even though I had just met her again after five almost six years and still did not know her name, she seemed entirely unselfish...innocent.
"If you don't answer a question a person wants to know, they'll ask again and again, until you finally answer." She answered simply as if that answer wasn't too mature for an eleven-year-old.
"Okay." I said simply. My eyes feeling much better. My voice sounding more chipper to my own ears.
"You could use your name to make me continue talking to you." I said simply.
"I don't know your name either so that's fair. With you not knowing about Nargles you'll definetly wonder, after all there very interesting creatures." She said with a smile.
I found myself returning her smiles and many more for days and years to come.
She helped me through many years with her comments and smiles...Just like next year,as well.
"Would you like to go get soem pudding from the kitchens?" She asked.
I told her I would Love some.
And with my hand in hers she pulled me into skipping down the hallway with her.
Her leading the way to the kitchens...and towards pudding.
