Written for the Drabble Collection & Pairing Diversity Challenge :)

Prompt: Purple

Pairing: Eleanor/Justin

Note: Eleanor is Hufflepuff who was sorted in the Goblet of Fire; this drabble takes place in the trio's seventh year and shows what the younger students went through, in the year of hell with the Carrows.


She stood at the edge of the tower, ready to let herself fly (or die, depending on the way you look at it) in her ugly purple dress.

Justin caught her waist from behind, holding her close. "I'm not ready to let go of you just yet," he whispered in her ear softly.

"But I don't want to live!" She nearly cried with exhaustion.

"You have to live El; you have to."
