Aravis had just finished closing up a box when she heard her mother calling for her. She had been so busy, she had hardly even noticed that the door had creeked open or that there was a conversation going on downstairs. Had she noted that, Aravis would have pulled herself up off the floor. Not that she was really in any condition to be on the floor, but she figured that if nobody, not even Will knew, then she was probably at the point where she could still do so. She was a Healer. She should know that.

The young woman quickly descended the creaking stairs to find her mother speaking with Persephone in front of the door. She wondered what the American was doing so far from Hogsmeade. "Persephone, is everything okay?" she asked, noticing that Persephone didn't seem herself.

Following her mother and friend into the sitting room, Aravis braced herself for the worst. She just didn't expect to hear the worst. Especially not in her condition."What?! How?! When?!" she exclaimed, fighting back tears. Surely Persephone had to be joking, but the expression on her face was too serious for this to be a joke. This wasn't a joke. Will was dead. Her husband was dead. Her father was dead. Her father-in-law was dead. Every man she had ever loved was dead.

Aravis flopped onto the arm of the chair she was sitting in and let the tears run freely down her face. Her heart felt beyond broken, it felt ripped out of her chest. Her heart felt as though it was with Will, wherever his cold, dead body was. "How am I supposed to raise a child without him? It isn't fair!" she yelled in between sobs.

Gryffindors were supposed to be brave, but it was so hard to be brave when your heart was broken.
