Banging head and dizziness took over Ara state her new found memories bring along a painful tug on her soul.

She has a family... People she cared for. looking around she knew
Where She is.
It's the hospital wing . She's still at Hogwarts 
"How are you feeling" the kind voice of pomerfy asked while fussing about her old trouble maker .
"Poppy what a beautiful surprise" Ara spoke softly.
"Oh dear . I guess you have some memories back then?"
"Yeah" attempting to get up poppy rushed to her side"where do you think you are going young lady?!"smiling at the old habit she informed" a short walk we are after curfew so it shouldn't be a problem right?"
With that she exit the hospital wing and walked towards the vast grounds of Hogwarts.

Astronomy tower was his favorite place .no one goes there mainly because of the many stairs. So it became barty's sorrows cave .and tonight like many other nights he cried his heart out. Stabbing pain of being not enough... Of being a nuisance ...of being unloved.... Of being lonely.
Why couldn't his father love him? Why did his mother leave him? He wished everyday that he could be with her , but he was too much of a coward to take his own life . Sobbing he was sinking  .In his mind he felt worthless and numb . He wanted out desperately but no can help not now .

Ara pov

Walking around Hogwarts my memories became more and more clear .... But what happened to me ? Why didn't I have memories?

A soft sound of crying pulled me to the astronomy tower.
Stepping near I saw a boy and he's having what looks like a panic attack.
Stepping closer I pulled him to my embrace placing his hand over my heart.as softly as I could I tried to pull him out of his head "it's okay love... It's okay breathe with me  …in …out…" i breathed dramatically hopefully he'd follow my lead.

End of Ara pov

Barty's POV

I can't breathe…

my heart is pounding in my head …

Suddenly I was in a warm embrace . With a soft voice talking to me . Glancing up with my hazy vision I saw
a beautiful lady. Am I in heaven? cause am sure that's an angel.
"In…out…" the angel whispered again
Following her lead she continued "tell me 3 things you can see" looking around i muttered with my labored breath "you…my hands…the...moon"
"Good job love, now 3 things you can hear", trying to concentrate "wind…owls hooting … my heart beats"
Humming she praised again "good boy...now 3 things you can touch "
"The cold floor... Your robes and ... Your hair " patting my hair softly"want some chocolate? It always makes me feel better?" She asked lovingly handing out a chocolate frog. Nibbling on it . Realizing am on her lap I crashed to the floor heat radiating from my face.

End POV

Seeing him flustered Ara laughed softly then asked "what's your name?"
Barty being his sassy self answer"why want to buy me a drink? " coming to his senses he rushed out an apology "i am so .... sorry…" . But before he could embarrass himself further Ara flickered his forehead "sassy much...hah" feeling at ease now he mumbled something but Ara ears didn't quite hear it . " come on again?"
He ,more clearly this time, stated "barty crouch Jr" fiddling with his fingers he looked up expecting her to ask him for a favor , but what he saw was more of a shock . Wide eyes and opened mouth she shouted "THAT BASTARD HAVE A KID ..." Confused by her reaction he questioned " you didn't know?" Ara realized her mistake and masked it by a lie "ah ... I was traveling for a long time so ... You know" not convinced enough barty decided not to pry about it "yeah"he dragged out "Merlin... who's your mother?", barty didn't know why he was answering her questions but he felt it in his core that he can trust her"Dua Travers" the name rang a bell in Ara's mind "Dua as in the Ravenclaw?" Feeling excited that the angel woman know his mother he nodded "she could do better… what house are you then ? You don't hit me as puff and definitely not a lion"feeling
Offended barty glared at the woman
"Why do you think am not a Gryffindor Nor a Hufflepuff?"
"I don't think you're reckless enough for a Gryffindor and not kind enough for a Puff "shrugging Ara  answered
"Are you either?" She questioned again."nope"popping the p he said "take a guess" he raised an eyebrow
Grinning Ara took her shot "definitely a peacock... Ravenclaw". "Hey"not taking it to heart he cackled "not wrong though"

"I always end up with a crying Ravenclaw here "she laughed
"You attended Hogwarts?"he quizzed
"Yep...that was long ago....you know I met my best friend here.....he was from a long line of Slytherins .they weren't fond of the idea so they ghosted him ... parents always have expectations and kids are to live up to it" side by side they enjoyed each other comfort"did you?"
He asked ."don't know? I have lost  my memories long ago."
What about you? going to live up to his expectations?"a sad look flashed in his eyes then it Blanked "you can trust me...I can help you"he scoffed "no one can help me "determined to help the boy ara pressed the matter"try me "
Sensing her sencirity  he unloaded his burdens about everything and every thought he had. she was angry ,sad but definitely furious with that bastard
How could he torture a magical kid ?but also use the unforgivable curses
She's definitely getting him out of this hellhole ."wait for my letter am getting you out of this place you call home soon" not believing he would have a way out he nodded solemnly but still he want to trust her to get him out.
After all his father isn't anyone.his father is the minster.
