RP: In Avalon
When: April 22nd, 2004
Who: Lavender Brown, Gabi Delacour
Where: Avalon Clinic
Private/Public: Private
Rating: All Ages
Summary: Gabi and Lavender meet at the Clinic.

For a place that housed some of the dirty little secrets of the wizarding world, the Avalon Clinic's gardens were wonderfully peaceful. Lavender was always partial to gardens, which probably wasn't surprising considering that her father was a herbologist. Playing in the gardens at home and being surrounded by nature had really just been a part of her growing up.

This was her second day at the clinic and she was already feeling a little restless from mind Healers prodding at her thoughts in their inquisitive sort of way. Later she was scheduled to talk to another Healer, to discuss her diet and physical health.

Now, though, she had a little time to herself and could wander the grounds. Everything was beautifully spring-like and Lavender couldn't do much to fight the urge to take off her shoes as she made her way across the lawn towards one of the ponds.

She was sitting in the garden outside the clinic, her knees pulled close to her as she drank in the spring sun and looked out over the pond. She liked this place, this spot in the gardens, even if she hated being at the clinic.

Between Fleur and Bill and Molly she hadn't been able to argue against it. Especially with the promise of a job when she left here.

Still she hated talking about Rabastan and what had happened with him, and even worse talking about everything that had happened before she was taken. Or trying. So far she'd refused to. She couldn't bring herself to face that. It was better forgotten.

Burying her face in her knees, she closed her eyes, wishing she could will everything away. Go back in time until she was ten years old and could still hide in her father's arms. He always looked so disappointed when he looked at her now. That hurt more than most other things. Even more than being stuck here.

She sighed and let the sun shine on her face again, turning when she heard a sound behind her. 'Hey,' she said to the woman, not sure what else to say. She wondered why she was here.

	"Oh, hello." Wrapped up in her thoughts - or perhaps a deliberate lack of thoughts - Lavender hadn't even noticed the younger witch until she was standing rather close. "Sorry. I didn't see you there." She moved a little further away, dropping her shoes on the grass before she sat down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

'That's okay,' Gabi answered, not sure what to say, but still curious about the other woman. She bit her lip, looking out over the pond again.

'It's a pretty pond,' she said hesitantly, not sure if she should speak or be quiet. She guessed the other witch wouldn't have sat down if she didn't want to talk though, so she kept on, mostly because she hadn't really spoken to anyone who wasn't family or a healer in quite some time. 'Have you been here long?'

	Lavender glanced over. "Yeah," she agreed, peering into the depths of the water. "I think there's fish in there somewhere." She had memories of that, she was sure. She tucked her hair behind her ear. "Um, no, not really. I only arrived yesterday. What about you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Gabi looked out over the water, sometimes thinking she had a memory of another lake. Deep, with fish and creatures. Then again she knew it was preposterous, everyone had told her so. She'd been put to sleep before they took her down into the depths of the waters.

'About a week,' she answered the question. She frowned a bit as she did, not pleased with staying here at all. She bit her lip, not sure what to say next. 'Don't know how long they want me to stay, though,' she finally added. 'Do you know?'

Looking at the witch, Lavender took a guess that she wasn't here entirely voluntarily. That was hardly surprising - Lavender could quite clearly remember her first stay here, how at first she'd still been denying that she needed any help at all, despite turning up intoxicated to Tallulah's fourth birthday party intoxicated.

"How long I'm staying? I don't know yet. Hopefully just a couple of weeks," she admitted. "Could be longer. I'm trying to stay open-minded at the moment."

	Gabi glanced at the woman out of the corner of her eye. 'You're here by choice?' she asked, wondering why anyone would be. 'Why?' She clamped her hand over her mouth. 'Sorry,' she said biting her lip. 'I didn't mean to pry.' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"She's doing alright. And she's seven... she'll bounce back, I think. I hope so, anyway." Lavender raised her eyebrows. She hadn't really expected that question. "I, um... After the war I didn't cope very well. I was hurt in the battle. Attacked." She closed her eyes for a moment. "I didn't like what I'd become, so I drank to numb things, I suppose."
