RP: Misperceptions and Truth
Date: 25 June 2006 Characters: Millicent Bulstrode, Justin Finch-Fletchley Location: Their home, Hogsmeade Private/Public: Private Rating: TBA Warnings: TBA Summary: Justin tries to help lead Millicent out of her depression. Turns out the truth is far more complicated than he'd imagined.
The house was completely still and quiet when Justin entered that evening. It was becoming almost normal, a fact which he hated and felt helpless as to how it was supposed to be fixed. It had been months since they'd lost the baby, and he'd tried to give Millicent time to work through her grief. It had hit her hard, and he didn't want to push her into thinking she had to be the same person she'd been before.
Now he was wondering if that had been the best idea. Millicent didn't seem to be dealing with it at all.She slept all the time, it was almost like she'd disconnected completely. Ella had been sent to stay with Pansy, and he'd hoped that would help to snap her out of it, but it hadn't. And now there didn't seem to be any end in sight.
Justin was scared, and he wanted his family back. He wanted Ella and Millicent back, and he couldn't take another day pretending like this was just going to come to a head on it's own. It wasn't, and he needed to find a way to make Millicent see that she had too much going for her just to give up.
Walking back to their bedroom, he leaned over and shook her awake. "Millicent? Sorry to wake you, but we need to talk." He said it quietly, gently. There was no easy way to have this conversation, but it needed to be done.
