WHEN TRAGEDY STRIKES, IT shakes the very foundation of your beliefs. especially when there's no answer or reason for why this happened. you just have to keep swimming, keep your head afloat, and find a reason to keep going on.
maybe we'll never put the pieces together on why this happened, there is no answer. when i look back on these events, i see it as the beginning of the end. the first domino in the the events that would follow for years to come. the first deep crack in harlow potters glass heart. no ones to blame, it's not like we knew what would've happened. it's not like we could've known that this was the beginning of the end.

"SOMEONE HELP ME!" cedric diggory yelled, running into the gryffindor common room. he was carrying harlow's seemingly lifeless body in his arms. a sense of deja vu filled his head, this shouldn't have happened. not again. not ever. "SOMEONE FUCKING HELP ME!"
draco malfoy sat up in his seat with a raised eyebrow. daphne and pansy turned their heads to cedric. daphne stood up and rushed over to cedric and harlow, desperately trying to find a pulse. pansy stood up, numb and unable to move. she let out a blood curdling scream that could probably be heard all the way in london. she covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
professor snape rushing in, "what is all this screaming-" he paused when he saw harlow, he walked over
to her, "no, no, no...not again.""help her, please." daphne pleaded.
"put her on the floor." professor snape instructed, "now!"
cedric nodded and placed her down carefully, professor snape checked her pulse. it was there, but barely. he picked her up, "someone get dumbledore, tell him to met me in the hospital wing."
daphne stared at harlow's body and nodded shakily before running off out of the room. professor snape picked her up, speed walking out of the common room.
cedric walked over to pansy, "pansy, can you get harry?"pansy stared at him blankly, her mouth still open, trying to formulate sentences. nothing came out. cedric grabbed her face with both hands and shook her, "pansy, i know you're scared but we need to get harry. can you do that for me? can you do that for me please?"
pansy shut her mouth and swallowed hard, nodding. tears still pooling out of her brown doe eyes.
"thank you." cedric told her, following after professor snape to the hospital wing. when he got there harlow was already placed on a cot.
madam pomfrey stood over harlow's body with scissors in hand. she moved harlow's hair out of the way and proceeded to cut through harlow's shirt, leaving her only in her black bra. she pulled out a defibrillator, one of the only muggle inventions that was easier and faster to use than magic. she instructed everyone to stay clear then shocked harlow. once, then twice. on the third time harlow coughed, opening her eyes slowly.
