Snowy Day

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny dropped to her own knees, giving Lavender a very tight hug.
"Lavender, what's going on?"

[_Lavender_]

Lavender toyed with a limp strand of dry grass, slightly comforted by Ginny's hug.

"I'm so lost... Ginny, I don't know what to do..."

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny sat on her heels.
"Nobody said you had to do anything." She said slowly, though she knew what Lavender ment.

"I can't decide anything for you, I don't know the whole story, and I respect you way to much to tear it from your mind. Even if I did know whats going on, I couldn't garuntee much help. Because I can't decide for you, in fact, the most I could do is suggest you take some rest. Lock yourself in a room or something and sleep, decide what you want to do."

[_Lavender_]

What did she want to do? What did she need to do? What could she do?
Lavender was lost. It was horrible to have your entire roots upturned. It had all been a lie. All that she had thought so deeply about, believed in, trusted in - it was all a lie. Lavender, whom had always bordered delicately on the possibility of never knowing of actual trust, or true feeling.
It had all been a lie..
How was one supposed to react to that? How was one supposed to just go along, with the knowledge, that even though she may have been pretending all her years... that the entire time of her knowledge, she had been related to none she knew of – she had been alone, always. She had cared and held so dearly to something, that was not hers to keep.
She had no parents, she had no family. There was no one, there had never been anyone, for her...

Lavender bowed her head deeply, and bit the inside of her bottom lip until it bled profusely – but she did not allow herself to cry. She restricted it.
Someone had once said, the more you know, the less you know. How true.

How things would change, and how they would stay the same. There was so much for Lavender to learn, yet so much she would reach in vain for..

[LavyBrown]

"Lavender...." Lavy said in a quiet voice.

[_Lavender_]

Lavenders green eyes rose as if upon command, blank, spiritless, hopeless, beaten, but not broken. Not yet. She watched Lavy with motionless eyes, which simply listened, took in, and saw what it was, Lavender could see.
She replied not, merely met eyes with her..

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny bit her lip, and clasped her hands. She watched Lavender, closely. Otherwise, she didn't move. She just wanted to make sure Lavender was ok.

[_Lavender_]

Lavenders eyes suddenly shut, as she bowed over, her hands encasing her head, pressure upon her temples, as a moan of utter pain escaped her lips. Her thoughts each rang with an awful jagged, spreading pain, which radiated throughout her being. Lavender mewed softly, and began to jerk violently, falling, to lay limp upon her side, unconscious, her being lifeless and pale and horribly beaten, though not physically so..

[Ginny Weasly]

"Lavander!" Ginny yelled. In a split second of fear, for Lavender was a good friend, she felt her own heart stop. She then knelt over Lavender's body. Her instincs told her nothing except sever shock had done this, but she still was afraid. She bit her lip again and raised Lavender's body with telekiniesis.

[LavyBrown]

Lavy took a step back as Ginny raised Lavender. "Do you think we can help her?" she asked in a worried voice.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny opeaned her mouth, but couldn't speak. Instead, she shrugged. She closed her eyes for a second, then opened them.
"I'm taking her to my Offices." She said, in a slightly shaky voice. Lavender's collapse had scared her.

[LavyBrown]

Lavy nodded. "Can I come?"

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny was tempted to say no, but she shrugged.
"Sure. But if her body lets her powers lose, your out of there. Understand?"

[LavyBrown]

Lavy nodded again. "I promise I wouldn't fight you on this one."

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny nodded, taking a deep breath. Then she began to carefully navigate Lavender's body through the trees.
