My parents died in a car accident. I live in an orphanage in central London called Parker Manor. Don't ask why it's names after my family 'cos I have no idea but that's where I live" she explained.
She half-smiled very faintly as she took the tissues from Ginny. "Thank you" she murmered. She nodded. Deal"
Ok, the whole concept of people being proud of her was horrible. Nobody was ever proud of her. Mayber her parents were. They were looking down at her from above. But she had no parents on Earth to guide her at all. Instead she had an extremely strict mistress who was extremely mean to her and every other child that was living with her and never treated her like anyone else. Discriminated her. Segregated her. Everything to torture and destroy her. She wasn't a happy child anymore and Hogwart sort of felt like another orphanage at the start. Living in a dorm with 100s of other girls and going to classes with other students. But it was nicer now. "No Ginny. That's just a few of them. There's only a few who are proud of me and two of them are in heaven" she cried. She somehow managed a smile when Ginny hugged her. It was comforting. "He'd be proud of us for staying strong though" she said. Or at least they were trying to stay strong anyway. She looked at the message that was in the heart of tears and smiled. It must've been from her parents, and most likely Bradin too. It read 'We're all proud of you, Courtney. Stay strong. The three of us love you xxx'. It was sweet. She looked up at Ginny. "It's not me"
Ginny had started to comfort Courtney because she was just so sad at the moment and Ginny waited for an answer from her. "I'm so sorry to hear that", she said to her.
"The last name Parker is a very common last name. It's just named like that, maybe, because they decided to call it Parker Manor", she continued.
Ginny smiled at Courtney.
"It's alright, you needed them anyway", she repiled.
She didn't know that much about Courtney's past life and she could still find out loads more. Ginny didn't know what it was like to be an orphan but Courtney did know. She was only 11 years old and she could handle almost anything. "I know your parents would be very proud of new even if there dead", she told Courtney. Ginny kept on comforting Courtney. Hopefully she wouldn't cry that much anymore.
"He would, always", she added to her. The heart on the ground was something. It had to be Courtney, wasn't it?
"Who is it then?", she asked curiously.
