Missing Someone...
After what seemed like an hour everybody were called into the Hogwarts Castle again and the celebrations started off. Students and Teachers were dancing on the floor; food was being served on the other corner. All the ex Hogwartites were busy meeting their people and enjoying the re-union. Sara on the other hand was sitting in the Great Hall seeing her friends dance and talk. She smiled and talked to anybody and everybody who came to her. After sometime she couldn’t stay, she got up and walked out of the Hall towards the empty courtyard. She walked silently through the corridors in deep thought and didn’t realize that Dean was right behind her. She stopped and leaned against the huge windows of the courtyard which opened towards the fountain in center.
“hey you alright?” he asked
Turning Sara saw Dean and smiled a bit
“yeah, I am. You?” “oh, I am fine. Very well, thank you” he said slightly startled why he would be fine he thought
“missing him?” he asked slowly after few minutes and she just nodded. They stood in silence for quite sometime then she turned to him and spoke
“hey, did you ever feel during the war time that you haven’t told a proper good bye to your dear ones?” she asked
“uh? Uh…yeah, you know Seamus, my friend” he said waving his hand towards the great Hall and she nodded
“we are the best buddies, you know just like Harry and Ron” he said
She nodded.
“I am a muggle. I think so, my family background is a bit complicated and so I had to run away from Hogwarts last year” he said
“during that time I had this incomplete feeling, you know, ‘cause I never got to bid my friend good bye. yeah I had that feeling. But then during the war I was back and I was the most happiest then, didn’t worry what might happen that night, ‘cause I got to see my friend again. Then I did have this incomplete feeling vanishing inside from me” he said and looking away at the clear night sky
“why do you ask?” he asked her back. She shook her head and looked at her hands
“Nothing, just. I was thinking you know how to get over this incomplete feeling. So I thought I should ask you. I wasn’t expecting that you will have the answer but just thought of asking” she said and shrugged. He looked at her and then nodded and looked at the snowflakes falling. He held out his hands to touch them and said
“Sara, I guess anybody and everybody must have had the feeling, because it was a war. A war whose outcome no one knew. So everybody must have had the feeling, I am sure” he said looking at the snow
“so you too didn’t get the chance to speak to your friend before he died?” he asked and she shook her head
“No” was a soft answer
“and I think I will have to live with that incomplete feeling life long” she said looking up at him.
“don’t worry you will find a way out, you are a strong girl” he said and put his arm around her and gave a small arm hug. She nodded and felt great full to Dean as he seemed to turn out to be a good friend. But what was in her mind was slightly different. Yes she didn’t get a chance to talk to her friend for the last time but there also was another person whom she couldn’t get to talk to before she left. That person was someone much closer to her in some ways, much more special.
have a nice day...:-)
