Hogwarts RPG Name: Margaret Jacqueline Atkinson Morris Fifth Year | Visit #9 Potter’s Princess A+ FangGirl Not even a whole hour had passed by before Melly was entering the nursery again. It looked like she had not even made it to the castle again, for the same bag was still on her shoulders as she passed by the other creatures and their caretakers, completely oblivious to them. She just didn't care what they might say as she ran by them or if they saw how there were trails of tears on her cheeks. She just wanted to go back to her little Rumple, forgive him and make him swear he'd never do such a thing happen. After all, it wasn't his fault. Not really. It was hers. She had been the one who had been careless and left him there on his own for so long, allowing him to learn that horrid language with the other jarveys. She couldn't really blame him. Besides, he was just a baby and he probably didn't know just how horrid the word he had spoken was. There was no sense in being hurt or mad at him.
For the first time, as she kneeled by him, she didn't bother to say 'hello'. Instead, she just opened the cage, took him into her hands and held him up until he was at her eye level. She didn't say anything, she didn't do anything. She just kept looking at him, eyes full of tears and lip trembling. But then he made a weird sound that, to Melly's ears, resembled a 'sorry'. It only took that for her to hug the jarvey, making sure she wouldn't squish it against her chest, while she sobbed soundlessly.
When the creature began to wriggle under her arms, she sniffed and carefully let it sit on her lap. "I'm sorry too, Rumple," She told him honestly as she wiped the tears away with the back of her sleeve. "I'm sorry I didn't come see you earlier, I really am," She told him. "But please, don't ever say that again, or any other horrible word like that, alright? Please? It's just so mean and evil to say those things," She teared up again. However, before the tears slipped, she shook her head a bit violently, telling herself not to cry. Rumple would get worried, after all, and there was no sense in making a baby worry. If she did it, she'd be even meaner than he had been when he had called her a mudblood.
"Hey, what do you say of me telling you a fairytale to make up for it?," She suggested with a weak smile. Once the jarvey nuzzled her hand, she let her smile broaden slightly. A story it was then.
At once, she took a book from her bag and started to read. This one was longer, but still, beautiful and she was sure that her little Rumple would love it. It was "Peter Pan" that she read, a much lighter story, which fitted the occasion, or so Melly believed.
Once she was done, the little girl pecked the jarvey's head. "I have to go again, it's getting late. I'll come back tomorrow, alright?," She promised, patting its head before putting it back inside the cage along with some fresh water and a whole lot of food. As she picked up her bag up, she noticed how Rumple was dugging into the pellet she had given him. She beamed as she began to walk away. The jarvey really wasn't that bad not at all.
"Bye." The word made her turn around with wide blue eyes and look at a bright eyed Rumple. Melly grinned again. No, the jarvey wasn't bad at all.
"Bye, Rumple. Sweet dreams"

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |
