The Quiet Commonroom

[Xaver]

Xaver, seeing the look on her face as the way he felt, gently grasped her hand.

The procession was quick, not simple at all, but shortened respectfully. Xaver listened, but didn't hear much. He mostly was staring at the newly upturned earth.
Afterward, as the other started leaving, he hadn't moved. What next?

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny kept hold of his hand.
"Come on." She suggested softly. She didn't know where he'd want to go, but she knew it wasn't good for him to stand here like this.

[Xaver]

Xaver looked at her, and nodded. He glanced at the spot Kylie lay, then back at Ginny, kissing her gently on the lips.
"Wherever you want to go," he said quietly.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny had no idea were to go, she she just started walking. It wasn't long till she felt compleatly lost, but she didn't care.

[Xaver]

Xaver followed her, not caring where they were going, or particularly worried if she knew, or didn't, either. He glanced at their linked hands, and that was comfort enough to let his mind slip peacefully.

[Ginny Weasly]

After several minutes, Ginny sat down in the high grasses. She pulled Xaver down as well, knowing that he wouldn't be bothered if no one could see him.

[Xaver]

Xaver hadn't been paying attention, and when she pulled him down, he was surprised, and though his instinct tried to save him, he managed to fall flat onto his back. He looked at her with a sort of bemused interest, simply tucking his arms under his head.

[Ginny Weasly]

She looked at him, worried, but not since he had falllen down. She pulled her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around them and outting her chin onto of them.

[Xaver]

Xaver stared up at the sky for a moment, then turned his head, and looked at Ginny. Really looked at her, his expression blank, but soft. Then, without words, he reached out and took her hand, bringing it to his lips, and gently kissing the top of it.
"Thank you for being here today." he said lowly, his voice quiet, and a little hoarse.

[Ginny Weasly]

"Don't thank me." She said, softly. She looked down at the grass, then at the horizon.

"I had to. I couldn't have stayed away. Even if you had wanted me to."

[Xaver]

"I will, anyway," he said softly, stubbornly.
He sat up, next to her, still holding her hand, watching her still.
"And I would never, not want you around," he said. "I couldn't."

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny was silent for a few moments before she turned and looked at him. She didn't say anything, but it was obviouse she wasn't even sure what she was thinking. Her face showed no emotion, but her eyes were utter chaos. She didn't say anything, but simply watched him watch her.

[Xaver]

Xaver, finding in her eyes, some of the same emotions he felt ravaging through him, offered a grief-wracked, but very gentle, loving, very small smile. Then, he looked foreword, across the little patch of earth, and down the slope of what lead into one of the valleys, bending one knee up and resting an elbow on it, staring foreword. He felt as if he should have so many more emotions, but he just couldn't figure them out. He didn't know what to think. What to feel. How he was expected to. Or how in hell, he was going to get over something he didn't understand ever happening in the first place.

[Ginny Weasly]

"I know it sounds wierd...but I can't...I hate death. I always have. I hate the thought of it, I hate causing it. I hate that even more then...I just hate death. It takes away anyone. It dosn't care if you loved that person, hated them, or didn't even know them. It dosn't care how rich that person was, or how many friends or family. Because stupid people....death is and object of humans. Stupid people..." She was grasping for words, flushing slightly, mad at herself because she couldn't express every emotion.

[Xaver]

Xaver looked at her as she spoke, drinking in her words, listening to her, watching her. She was in a way sambling, but not to him. She made sense. He knew where she was coming from.
Xaver swallowed.
He simply nodded to her, listening, but unsure of what to say.
