Well... here's chapter 26! Hope you like:)
Chapter 26: You Love Everybody's Fool
As one of Harry's tears fell onto Cecily's cheek, she stirred and opened her eyes; which were now the normal dark brown.
"Harry? What happened? And why are you crying?" Cecily said, still struggling to stay awake under the pain of a sudden headache.
Cecily reached up with her remaining strength and wiped the tear from Harry's cheek.
"You love me, right?" Harry asked.
"Why of course I do," Cecily smiled.
Harry pulled Cecily closer to him and hugged her embracively.
Cecily winced in pain from the sudden movement, but she soon got over it.
"It's over," Harry said, "It's finally over."
The next few days felt a little awkward between everybody.
Between people watching her every move and Molly's funeral two days away, Cecily was beginning to feel like a captive in depression.
She had no one to turn to. Not even Harry understood the way she felt now.
Cecily was in the best bedroom, thinking of what to do with her prison-gated life.
Without the mask,
Where will you hide?
Can't find yourself
Lost in your lie
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
Never was and never will be,
You're not real and you
Can't save me
And somehow now you're
Everybody's fool
There was a soft knock on the door.
"It's open," Cecily said.
The door slowly opened as the familiar figure of Hermione walked in.
"Dinner's ready, Cil'," she told Cecily.
"I'm not hungry," Cecily replied, almost immediately.
Hermione sighed and took a seat on the bed next to Cecily.
"You haven't left this room all day, let alone ate…" Hermione said.
Cecily didn't respond.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" Hermione asked.
"I just feel like the whole Voldemort thing has had its effects on me again," Cecily answered.
"Go on…," Hermione told.
"Like in our 5th year, remember that?" Cecily asked.
Hermione nodded. She remembered everything. Cecily's depression, her illness… everything.
"I'm feeling everything that he's felt," Cecily began, "betrayal, depression…"
Hermione and Cecily exchanged a look.
"Just shut up and hug me," Hermione said, pulling Cecily into a tight, friendly hug.
"It's not gonna happen again, okay?" Hermione assured.
Cecily nodded.
"Everything's gonna be fine," Hermione added.
They let go and sighed.
"Well, come eat dinner when you're ready… okay?" Hermione told, her voice sounding sisterly; like the way she talked in her school days.
Cecily nodded. "Thanks," she said.
Hermione then left the room, slightly disappointed, but not completely.
