Old School Week Longing

[Thomas Parish]

Hogwarts always loomed in the distance, almost beckoning Tom to come and explore it anytime he caught a glimpse of it. With the holidays, the castle would be empty, and though he wanted to go there while it was full of students, going when no one was around to catch him and tell the Ministry would have been his best chance. The teenager floated by the rooftops to get the best view, imagining what life would have been like, had he still been alive when the school opened.​

 

[Catherine Barrington]

Catherine had been drifting through the village, keeping herself close to invisible as she passed people wandering the streets. She was, for once, not in the mood to talk to the witches and wizards that visited the village. Today, she didn't think she could bear the fear she still sometimes caused when she spoke to living humans. She was in a melancholy mood. She floated up to the rooftops, remembering that Thomas sometimes did that. She found him there, and approached him. "Hello." She said quietly.
