Stopping Harriate

Harriate was very upset of the death of Barty Crouch Jr. She was going to commit suicide...... Teddy was talking to her trying to talk her out of it.

"Its not the end,Its hard to move on,but you got to. There is people who care about you." He was standing by her

'I don't care. They can all go and jump off a cliff and die slow painfull and agonising deaths.' Harriate said voice and face emotionless. She flexed her left hand.

"No,you dont want that. Your just in shock,but if you just think...There is more people than Barty. I know you guys were close but still,a lot of people lose loved ones. That doesnt mean they have to kill themselves."

'Seeing as Barty is the ONLY person i ever loved it seems like a flipping good idea right now. At least then i can be with him.' She said her thoughts swirled around barty but still no sign of emotion was on her face. She unconciously flicked her tongue out the side of her mouth like Barty left hand flexing again.

"Yes,I know. But that still doesnt mean you have to kill yourself. Just think about the future,it will all get better soon."

'I don't want to think about the future, alone, without Barty. Ever. I don't want it.' Harriate's eyes glazed over memorys off everything that had happened with barty running before her eyes.

Teddy put his arm around her shoulder "There are people who like you,and care about you. And if this is how you feel,think of how they are going to feel if you kill yourself. You wont be stopping the pain you will just spread it."

'I won't feel it.There stupid to care about a pathetic orphan. They'll forget me soon enough.' She said in the same voice not moving a muscle.

Teddy shook his head "You dont realize how stupid your acting. Do you think Barty would want you to kill yourself?"

'Well i'm not going to find out what Barty would have wanted because just when i think i got him back he's gone for good. So what if im acting stupid i am stupid.'

"Look Harriate,I know you feel horrible but its not the end of the world. Your acting very childish,just think." He sighed and turned around and started walking back.

'I am thinking. I'm thinking how Barty is gone for good.' Harriate sat down on the ground overlooking the lake knowing all she had to do was jump in and there was no turning back. Can't save yourself if you can't swim.

Teddy stopped walking and turned around and looked at her. "Yea,so is a lot of other people,but their loved ones usually move on...not acting like this."

'And they tend to of had familys as well. but when you've been alone all your life and your first friend, the first person to ever show you kindness is now dead i imagine you'd feel a bit worse than the average person. It was Barty who talked me into coming to hogwarts in the first place. Barty who helped me get used to the wizarding world and barty who saved my life not two days ago and i couldn't be there to help him when he needed it.' harriate said and finaly her voice cracked in anger and it became harder for her to speak the more she went on.

'Yes,Like Ive said it is really hard,You just have to move on. Meet someone new...Even if you dont want to. Dont have to be acting pathetic and childish." he turned back around and started walking. He didnt know Harriate that well,but still cared for her,and was getting agitated by the way she was acting.

Harriate ignored him as she felt the hot tear slide down her cold cheek and land on the floor. He was gone. Really gone. The one person she would do anything for, who she thought would always be there was gone.

Pandora was walking around when she saw Harriate. She walked toward her. She wanted to check on her see how she was.

"Harriate" , she said as she got close?

Harriate hurridly wiped the tears from her face and tried to make it as emotionless as possible.
'yes professor?' She asked tonelessly not turning around.

She put her hand on Harriates shoulder.

"You wanna walk with me and have a talk?"

Harriate shrugged standing up and kept her head bowed so Pandora wouldn't see the signs of tears on her face.
