The Auror had finished for the weekend. It seemed like he'd spent forever crammed in his office, sorting out case files, signing them off, getting everything in chronological order. But once his clock struck 4:00, he stopped placing the files in the filing cabinet and put them on his desk. He knew he'd have to return to them on Monday, but at that moment in time he didn't care. Alls he wanted to do was to go home, and relax. Perhaps, he might have a few firewhiskeys, or even lie on the couch and listen to some music, but he'd decide when he got to his home. Loosening his tie, he grabbed his overcoat and held it in his hands, not bothering to put it on. He could see it was a nice spring day, and he left his small office, locking it, saying goodbye to anyone still left in the department. One thing that had constantly on his mind was his conversation with Hadan. He'd told her things about his life that he hadn't told anyone, but that wasn't the point. It re-opened the wound that Bella had left when they'd split up. He didn't know if she thought that Mike was 'the one', but Mike never doubted Bella was for him. No matter if they argued, or fought, that they'd be together no matter what. Obviously it wasn't the case, and Mike wasn't good enough for her. However, this shaped Mike's future in a way he never thought of. It added another motive for him to become an Auror. As he thought he was not good enough for Bella, he sought to prove himself wrong, and become the best that he could be. But after successfully becoming an Auror, it seemed the effort hadn't been worth it, nor paid off, as Bella had left, without even a goodbye.
After disapparating into Obsidian Harbour, he went for a walk. He didn't decide to walk for long, just for half an hour or so, take some time out and think. He sat on a bench, and closed his eyes, listening to his breathing for a couple of seconds, before letting his thoughts slide to Isabella. Sometimes, he'd remembered the good times they had together, but the majority of the time, his thoughts just seemed to be negative about Bella, even if there were so many more good memories than bad. He couldn't stop thinking about what if he'd done that differently, or said something else instead of what he said originally, treated her better than he did, spoil her, show her how much she meaned to him. Of course, many people would snigger and disregard their relationship as a little 'school fling', but it wasn't. Mike knew that it wasn't. He knew that it was much more than that, that they were much more than that. That he loved her, and that hopefully she loved him. But, it seemed it was not to be. That Thomas Smith, proved to be much more than the ex- Head Boy, that she desired him over the Gryffindor. That it seemed fit to betray Mike, pull his heart out, stamp on it, and put it back in place and then disappear from Mike's life forever, without a little goodbye.
However, the sad part was that Mike had to move on. Thinking all these, things and having no one to talk to. Okay, so I have Ben, but I wouldn't feel comfortable spilling out my heart to him. Despite our closeness, I don't think I could. he mused. It seemed that it was a vicious little circle, taking turns to blame himself and Isabella. Was he bitter about it? About everything? It certainly seemed so, but it didn't matter, because he'd never get to speak to Bella again, nor set his eyes upon her beautiful face. It tore at him, that this was the reality. But then his thoughts turned to Hadan. A thought was contagious, once it was there it spread, almost impossible to delete from memory, forget it was ever there, ever thought of. Hadan had been kind and caring to him, and she was quite attractive. There seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel, he thought. He would pick up that thought again tomorrow. As of right now, Mike was going to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink, to quench his thirst, to drown his sorrows, to forget.
