RP: A Hidden Fear
Date: 24 June 2006 Characters: Damian Montague, mentions of Cass Vasiey Location: the Shack Private/Public: Private Rating: PG Warnings: none Summary: While Verity is at tea, Montague visits Cass in what he hopes isn't for the last time.
He made sure his trek was slow, even if Terence and Pansy lived so close, he didn't want Verity to turn around and see him going anywhere else, he wanted to make sure she saw him going to their mate's house, make sure she was in Pansy's before he moved away, towards the Shack instead.
His step however, hardly picked up on his way there. A part of him was un-anxious to see his cousin; lying on his death bed, when they'd been younger he'd hardly seen him, but quite quickly as he'd gotten to know the younger boy once they were in Hogwarts.... Well he was a much better cousin then the ones his Aunt Olivia'd produced. He was a Quidditch confidant and a good friend, family till the end.
The fact that they'd chosen opposites sides in the war hadn't changed that, at least not for him, even though he made it a point to make sure that Cass never found out his alliances. They were not chosen for him, anyway.
When he'd asked for his room then stood outside his door, Montague almost turned around. He wasn't used to seeing any of his friends hurt more then particularly fond of both- this was well- much worse.
His hand was on the door, poised to open it, and then couldn't seem to do it. He looked at the door for a moment longer, he'd come back later, he told himself, he'd come back with something next time. He told himself all the way out of the Shack, promising himself even though in the back of his head he knew he was to much a bloody pans to do so. Death was one of the few things that scared him, not his own, but those of friends and family...
