Prompt 25 – Neutral
Pansy found herself in neutral.
She couldn't move forward and she certainly couldn't move back.
Even if there was something to move back too. Something had changed her.
She just wasn't sure what that something was.
It wasn't the night of the attack. She was sure of that though it had left its evidence brutally on her body.
She was pretty sure it wasn't the day of the next attack. Though it was only a matter of time before that one would change her body too.
Something else had changed. Something deep with in.
She just wasn't sure what it is.
But she had a sinking suspicion it had to do with the red head lying unconscious in the infirmary in front of her. Because she vaguely remember the horror as the bludger hit him. She remembered a little more the emptiness that washed over her as she saw him fell. Then the panic. Then more panic.
She had never felt more fear in her life as she did in that moment.
Something had changed her.
She knew she couldn't move back.
And she had a sneaky suspicion that she couldn't move forward – without him at least.
So she sits by his bed under the watchful eye of her former friend silently urging him to wake up.
So she can move forward and stop being stuck in neutral.
