A/N: Written for the Minor Character Boot Camp Challenge. Ariana Dumbledore.


Helpless

she's barefoot in the woods,
walking gingerly to avoid the brambles.
staring at the treacherous ground
is practical, necessary
but it doesn't allow much time
to stare at the sun.
She was just exploring but now
the wildflowers are blooming
forming a feast of color
She can't find her brothers anywhere.
She is lost.
