Spitfire

She'd achieved what had once been nothing short of an impossibility. N u m b n e s s without the influence of a l c o h o l.

A blanket of snow coated the courtyard, and her boots trudged through mush on her way to the nearest bench. One muttered incantation later and she had seated herself against the now balmy surface, knees pulled up to her chest and eyes scouring the area with mild interest. There didn't appear to be anyone else around. The memorial had started a few minutes ago and, naturally, most were in attendance. ... But she couldn't do it. She couldn't go.

She'd dressed up, written a few words for the occasion, walked towards the damn entrance -- but she couldn't do it. She couldn't wholly accept the new state of things -- the progressive worsening of everything they knew. The knowledge that there was no stopping the impending storm. She couldn't yet resign herself to such a truth.

It was the real reason he'd been killed, had it not? The one no professor would concede to? The one their faltering expressions would betray nonetheless? Bertram Aubrey had met his end because of a willingness to fight -- and for the supposed filth inhabiting his veins. Mary pressed her forehead against her arm.

 You say that because of who you are. How could a t h i e f ever understand?

She'd talked to him before, once or twice in the library. No friendship of any sort had been formed ( too much c o n t r a s t there), nothing but an exchange of understanding looks as a pair of Slytherins has traipsed by them, spewing slurs and insults. Then the eye contact had been broken, the brief connection shattered, and they had both gone about their day. She hadn't known Bertram Aubrey. Not really. That shared moment of understanding hadn't acted as the basis for anything of consequence.

But she knew he hadn't deserved this. Nor had the girl at the Christmas feast. Or the man at the Ministry.
