Unlikely People in Unlikely Places.
Who: Aurora Sinistra, Narcissa Malfoy.
What: A run in.
When: November 09, 1997
Where: A little known hallway in Hogwarts castle.
Status: Complete.
The last few days had not been easy ones since her fight with Severus, though they have been filled with so much introspection and honesty with herself that at least they have been productive. Aurora stood staring out the wide window overlooking the lake, hugging her arms around herself in the crisp November air. This had been one of her favorite spots since she was a student; a large hallway filled with enormous windows that criss crossed at intersections and gave a view of the entire grounds, from Hagrid's squat little hut, to the sparkling lake where the squid was hiding under the water, rarely to be seen this time of year, to the dark Forbidden Forest, where occasionally you could see the trees rustling where creatures scampered (and maybe crashed, by the looks of it) among them.
But however much she loved the spot, she couldn't escape the feeling of crushing loneliness that had been plaguing her for days. She was slowly coming to expect that this feeling would be a permanent one, at least in the near future. She sighed deeply, leaving a circle of fog against the glass, and pushed her hair out of her face. She knew she should have been up in her isolated tower, preparing for the next weeks worth of lessons, but she just couldn't get herself to move away from the sight of the setting sun still sparkling against the calm water of the lake.
