Herbology Professor
Touched our hearts and touched the stars, huh? Rooster must've actally been sober when he though of that. Donny gave a watery smile and waved goodbye to Lillian. It was exactly what Emily would have wanted. Without further ado, he wrote to Rooster.
Dear Rooster,
I trained my owl so it can send letters, it'll stick around and you can send a letter back. I'm at my job now, I walked to London and then practically back, but I wanted to thank you. First of all, for teaching me to hot-wire cars, I used it on the way back. Second, for teaching me to steal from burger joints, I did it once. Third, for not choosing a horrible saying to put on Emily's grave. Fourth, for buying her coffin since I know only you would since Billy has his own brat to worry about. Fifth, for forgiving me. I know what happened, the woman you talked to not too long ago was my boss. She's really kind-hearted and told me what had been written on Emily's grave. I know my girlfriend may have dropped by too since she said she met DaddyJ. Anyways...I'm sorry, Rooster. You have no idea how much I regret and I deserved that punch in the ribs. I should've protected her more, should've been there for her more. But I want you to know that the entire time she stayed with me I never dreamed of stealing her away from you, we never did more than a simple kiss goodnight. You're my best friend and you always have been, and so was she. Both of you have meant the world to me, and you still matter to me no matter where I am because as cheesy as it sounds, I think you know me as well as anyone else can. You and her helped me get through my parent's death, and now we both need to get through hers. I'll never forget her or you. On my holidays maybe I can visit or something? I'm not sure what else to really write about, just how sorry I am, thank you for all you've ever done for me and Emily. We both just need to move on, I suppose. I'm not sure how, really, I've never done it without you or her by my side before.
- Donny.
He sealed the envelope with magic and it did just as he had wanted it to. He didn't clean the book though. It still had some blood stains on the cover, but he knew they'd soaked through the cover and were in too deep to really be cleansed. He'd leave it there as a reminder. He wouldn't forget about her, but he would move on. He would get past this. He promised not to forget, so now he'd just use it to learn a lesson from it. To never stop caring or loving anyone, since they could be taken in an instant and no magic can fix that chance.

Donny sent Paravion off with the letter, told him to wait until Rooster replied, ate some more food until he felt comfortably full (though unfortunately still looked like a skeleton with skin), and lay back down to get some rest. He read a bit of his herbology book, but he had it all memorized so eventually he fell back into the pillows weak and tired from being so skinny, walking so long, recent events, and fell asleep.

Lillian knocked, heard the usual "Come on in." and strolled in carrying a plate piled high with delicious tarts and sandwiches, all somewhat fatty-ish stuff, to help Donavon gain weight. He was perfectly fine now, except for his corpse-like weight and appearance. At least he was clean and could breath easy now. Her worst fear was for his emotional feeling...he couldn't be as okay as he was letting on, he'd watched his best friend die in his arms a month ago, how could he possibly forget it? Once or twice when she came in with food, she knew he'd been thinking of Emily, because he looked about ready to cry and his fists were clenched. Whenever she saw him like this, she left the food by his bedside and just said 'Good morning', 'good afternoon', or 'goodnight,' depending on the time of day. She hated to think what he was going through, and couldn't imagine all the pain was quite gone. Still, she hoped he would be able to teach again soon, she hated watching him like this.

Head of Hufflepuff
Herbology Professor
Donavon thanked Lillian, but rather than just letting her go this time he said, "Lillian...uh...just wanted to let you know, perhaps tommorow I'll be able to return to teaching, or...or perhaps later today. I know I'm still fairly thin, but I think as long as I eat plenty of the food in the great hall and keep working out by working hard in herbology and planting, I'll be back to my normal self. So...thanks again." He beamed at her and she smiled back as she walked out saying; "That's wonderful! It's great to have you back."
He wasn't sure if he'd done the right thing or not, but he was going to get out of this mess somehow...Emily, Ayamae and Lillian were all supporting him, heck, Ayamae still even loved him after all this. He wasn't about to give up on his hopes now. From all that had happened, he'd just learned a lot more about how dreams are for when you sleep, and reality is what he needs to change...he sighed and took some dittany and dabbed it on his cuts that were almost healed, thought scarring. He had little deep cuts all over his body from the windshield, so he kept putting dittany on those. He flicked his wand lazily and the bottle was back in it's proper place. He could do magic fine now, like he always could before, now that he'd accepted it. Accepted everything. Just as he sank back down into the pillows, Paravion flew in. Carrying a letter. A reply. From Rooster Charlie...
Dear Donny,
Sorry it took me so darn long to write this letter, you know how cruddy I is at spelling...
And, indeed, some of the words were crossed out and the content looked like it was written by a messy 7-year old.
I got your letter and its amazing that you trained a bird to fly like that, really neat! Anyways, theres no need to thank me, I was an idiot and i'm sorry for all that happenened. I'm glad you used some of my knowdlege i teached you about cars and stealing, glad it came in to use. The trailer park is doing pretty well, your girlfriend came by. She gave money to Honeybee and Roxxie, theyre off trying to become actressess now and billy and his brat took over the bar but made it into more of a restaurent. Crystals the same, and i dunno if she told you, but yer girlyfriend actually carved an A into DaddyJ's hand, and cut off a couple of his fingurs, wich even that slippery basturd couldnt hide from the cops. I called the police on him because it was a fight since you mustve told her about Daddyj or something, with the whole knife thing. Honeybee and Roxxie told us later that it couldntah been about the car crash becuz they'd lied to her and told her you were fine. They didnt want to worry your girlfriend any further she looked mighty upset when she came here and saw your destroyed trailer, wich i kept here as a memory, bythe way, they couldnt' tell her the truth. Andways, yeah I called em. Called them on Daddyj and eventually they caught him and all. Serves him rite for what he did to Emily, hell he desrves much worse. We all miss her dearly, but we miss you to. Keep writin. Youll always be my best bud.
-Rooster Charlie

((Just figured you'd wanna know he found out.))
Donny wiped away a couple of tears of happiness away impatiently. He laughed a bit. Ayamae carved her initial into his hand and cut off some of his fingers? Well, as Rooster said, heck he deserved more than that. Donny smiled and waved his wand, about to say Expecto Patronum, but if she hadn't told him herself, then he'd bring it up when maybe the time was right to discuss it. She probably had a class now, he wouldn't bug her saying 'I know what you did to DaddyJs hand and it's perfect.' or something. Heck, what would he even say? Not to mention how grateful he was that she gave his friends HoneyBee and Roxxie money...He just continued to smile down at the letter before tucking it into his herbology book and sealing it in there, right behind the cover stained with Emily's and his blood. He wrote back quickly since the trailer was close and Paravion didn't seem to be tired at all. He wrote,
Dear Rooster Charlie and everyone else,
Thank you so much for that great news. DaddyJ deserved lots worse, but I'm glad he's at least locked away. I hope HoneyBee and Roxxie make it big, I owe Ayamae for giving them money. Well, I'm starting work back up again soon, so I should be earning some money and getting a new place. You can keep the smashed trailer there as a memory if you wanna, I think it's touching. Thank you Rooster, it means a lot. I know you're a bit...heck a lot of a drunk, you piss of the neighbors, but you'll always be my best friend too. I'll visit over holidays and all, I swear, I'll never forget the place that I grew up in, that I could first call home before where I am now. Emily asked me to do her the favor of never forgetting her, and I never will. So don't you guys ever forget me either, because I'll never stop remembering you.
-Donny
A tear slid down his cheek of sadness and longing and wonderful joy. He couldn't explain it. He wiped it away and handed the letter to Paravion who took off. He was going to start teaching again. He was going to reach the moon, going to get his goals, but he would never stop remembering what had got him here, what he'd been through. How could he forget, even if he wanted to? He smiled a bit and fell back into the pillows, daydreaming of the gang celebrating DaddyJ's arrest, Ayamae and him kissing by the Hogwarts lake, him teaching his class, but not Emily being alive. Dreams are for when you sleep, and if he wanted the gang celebrating, to be with Ayamae, to teach the class, he couldn't focus on what would never happen again.

Headmistress Lillian Van Nikolai
Lillian walked into the hospital wing after knocking and hearing 'come on in' again. She was glad to hear Donavon's voice sounding a bit cheerier, he'd looked pretty miserable lately. She walked in with the usual tray of food, it felt like she was feeding a dark void, no matter how much she gave him he just didn't appear to be gaining any weight. Maybe a few pounds? ut just not enough. True, the scars were even getting a bit fainter, though they were still visible because of his thin, transparent-ish skin.
"You sure you ready to teach today, Donavon?" She asked.
She wanted nothing more than to have him teach, smiling, out from the lonely hospital wing. After she'd recovered from being suicidal last year, she hated this place. It was lonely and bleak after a few days.

"I'm sure." He said firmly. If he was going to make his dream a reality, his dream and Emily's about a family, about Ayamae, about celebrating with Rooster...then he should start with his job. He grinned and took huge bites of the chicken, tearing meat off with his healed, white teeth. He ate quickly and slowly stood up. He fell back down the first time, his legs weak and shaking a bit, but he took a deep breath and kept going. He took his bloodstained book off the table and shoved it into his robe pocket along with his wand. You're better than you were traveling halfway across London. You'll be fine. Lillian had demanded that he was at least 120 pounds before teaching, so he at least was SOMEwhat healthy. He was supposed to be 160 normally, but he came here weighing about 80. He walked into the bathroom and stepped on the scale. 90. So he'd gained 10 pounds...well too bad. He wasn't staying in here forever. He walked out and saw Lillian's face, but didn't meet her eyes.
"I just look thin, but yeah, I'm 120 pounds, I'm fine." He smiled his weak smile and stumbled from the hospital wing.

Lillian smiled a bit of a watery smile as he left. Donavon Epithia was a terrible liar. People had called her brave for just withstanding Desdemona, for making through it and being where she was today, but she felt now that Donavon was a braver person than she'd ever seen as he stumbled through the doors. He'd helped her on her wheelchair, and now she wanted to give him a wheelchair so he wouldn't have to fall. But she knew he'd refuse. Just to see, she went into the bathroom and cast a quick spell at the scale to make it go slowly backwards to show what it had just shown. It went back to 90. That idiot. She blinked a few times to stop herself tearing up, feeling horrible that one of her Professors, her friends, had to have suffered.

Wolf stood outside the door of the nurses and he looked at the door. " Are you sure I think im fine Shade. " He crossed his arms looking down at the floor at his shadow.
His shadow rose up of the ground like a sithoulet of himself. " Get in there NOW, " as the shadow said it he turned into the outlining of Rose looking as if she was there but the colors of her were changed to pitch black. " You look like someone turned your face to a slab of rock and bashed it in with a sledgehammer then turned your face back to this. " The shadow disappeared.
Wolf sighed as he walked into the nurses. " Hello " He loosened his hood.

Lillian was checking the hospital wing and saw Wolf walk in. His face was like a rocky that had been broken. She shook her head sadly. First Professor Epithia, now this. At least this could be healed in a second though.
She sat him down onto one of the hospital beds and said, "Just stay still, kay?"
She grabbed some mousturizure extra-strength made from diluted botuber pus. She dabbed it on his skin and wated a minute. She then vanished it off with her wand and his face wasn't rocky anymore. She traced her wand along the edges of the deep cuts, and they were gone too.
"All better." She said proudly, it had not even taken two minutes.

He sighed, " I'm not trying to do anything bad or illegal I just want some hair dye, a pair of scissors, a jar, and some way to forget a few things. " He looked over at her suspicious face. " See nothing illegal, I just have stuff I want to get rid of and stuff I need to get. All I'm asking for is a little help. "

Well hair dye scissors and a jar." She conjured up the jar and handed it to him. "We usually just use the Severing Charm rather than scissors, the charms teacher can teach it to you, as well as color-changing charms for your hair. If you want to forget anything, you can use the memory medoifying charms obliviate. Teachers aren't permitted to use it on students, you'd need to learn it properly and use it yourself." ((He's being really informal for talking to the Headmistress...))
