Ravenclaw Girls' Sixth Year Dormitory
Lisa collapses onto her bed, drawing her knees up to her chest and hooking her arms around them. She wipes her eyes, embarassed at her own stupid behavior. Terry doesn't mean any harm; why does she panic like that, when he's just trying to be friendly? She fishes in her satchel for Ernie's handkerchief, drying her eyes with it. She looks at it fondly afterward, running her thumb over the letters "E.M." boldly monogrammed in navy thread.
It's funny how Ravenclaw Tower used to seem the safest place in Hogwarts. Now it's the only place where I feel completely alone. She smiles softly, thinking of when she left Ernie in the corridor, their hands knit together until the last possible moment, when she finally had to say 'good night'.
When there's a knock at the door, she tucks the handkerchief away, and looks up.
