WHO: Arianna & Albus Dumbledore
WHAT: His Arrival
WHEN: 23 February, afternoon
WHERE: The bridge
RATING/STATUS: medium low/ongoing
For a week, Arianna had gone about her business--her classes, the work in the greenhouse, visiting with her friends--with a smile on her face. She was happy, truly and completely, and it had been some time since she felt this way. She knew she should be over the moon, as they say, because she had time with her mother, but she often felt like she was not enough. Her mother lined for her husband and sons. She forgot that she was not so very alone in the village, and that made Arianna feel--not unwanted, but inadequate.
She missed her brothers, even Albus. Aberforth had been her rock and constant friend. They had been close, and she missed him dearly every day, and she wished he would return. She missed Albus, too. She had given him a bit of peace when he was here, but he had been old, and she knew their conversation was forgotten when he left.
Her sadness and guilt over what befell her family because of her was never far from her mind, but she had much to be glad about. She had amazing friends who helped her grow and heal. There was a young man she wished to kiss. She embraced her emotions rather than run from them, and they were heady and wonderful. They brought a tune to her heart, and she hummed as she walked towards the lake. She was one her way back to the castle, and the day, though crisp, was fair. When she arrived, there was a young man standing with his back to her. He felt familiar, but she did not know why. "Hello? Are you just arriving?"
