((Open, but Avalee requested?))
Arianna stared at the grave, her face emotionless. It was her best escape. She couldn't believe it, not one word of it. He hadn't died in a bar fight and he wasn't lying in the ground beneath her feet. It was all a dream. No, it was a nightmare and she would wake up any minute now. She closed her eyes and counted slowly to three, willing herself to wake up. But when she opened her eyes she saw the same name engraved on the stone. Axel Hampton.
Then she took off her sunglasses, her eerie green eyes, shining down on the grave. "You said you wanted to see my eyes." She murmured softly. "I just came back to late." Blinking almost erratically, Arianna stood. She had come back to Hogwarts, drawn by something strange that she didn't yet understand to find this? It was all wrong. He had been too alive the last time she saw him. His hair had looked too vibrant, and his voice had been too clear, kind and gentle for a dead man. The last time she saw him he had been alive.
She laughed aloud. She laughed maniacally. She laughed to cover up the fact that right now she was ripping apart inside. Axel had been the closest she had come to a friend here and now he was gone. She had even hoped she would be able to be more than a friend to him, but she was wrong again. She had heard the rumors in the bars about the heartbroken girl he had left behind. Arianna's heart went out to that girl. She must be experiencing more pain that Ari could possibly imagine. To have the one you loved, ripped away from you...
After spending a few more moments looking at the grave, Arianna stood, her resolve firm. She was going to find the girl. She was going to go and find the girl who she now admired for the strength she must have for carrying on after something like this. What was her name? Ah... yes, Avalee was her name.
Arianna looked out into the sea of headstones, seeing the occasional mourner. Having no idea where to look, she settled down next to the grave and closed her eyes, leaving her sunglasses by her side. Waiting here would be her best bet. She had to come here eventually right? "Good night... Good night forever." She said softly to the ground, her last good-byes for Axel spoken to a stone. A tear finally dropped to the ground as Ari tried to fall asleep, waiting for someone who may or may not come.
