The Light Brings Truth Brings Joy [HIATUS]

A Tear Is The Start

Saturday

I let out an akward laugh "What are you two talking about?" I say trying to hide the fact that we were even though it was probably no use anyway. "C'mon Harry we're best friends just tell me if it's true or not" Ron says with a sad smile. "I-i um" I stutter nervously. "Harry, c'mon I wanna know" Ron says his voice starting to change into a more demanding one.

He's pressuring me too much. I'm trying so hard to answer him but I can't. He keeps trying to push the answer out of me and I'm trying to keep the tears from flowing. I was doing fine until Ron opened his mouth again.

"Why can't you just tell me? You're acting like such a baby" That was the sentence that broke me. I couldn't hold in the tears any longer. He pushed me into little space even with me trying so hard not to. I started crying. Little me decided to try and cover it up the best I could. "I-I'm a big boy...B-big boys don't c-cry" I mumble as quietly as I can while the tears stream down my face. Hermione hugged me and tried to calm me down keeping me close to her. Hermione glared daggers at Ron to which Ron just looked at her confused and guilty. She turns back to me with a smile "Hey, hey, look Auntie 'Mione is here it's okay" She says quietly struggling to calm me down.

Other people don't seem to be noticing me crying. Except for the pair of eyes staring at me from the opposite of the table; Neville. He looks up towards the Slytherin table and points towards me. His face shows plead as he does so. He then looks back at me and I notice the blush that was once spread across his face has since disappeared. Before I knew it Neville has walked from the other side of the table over to me. What could he be doing?

"Hey, Hermione. I...think I might be able to help" Neville says looking towards me. "Okay...sure" She says with curiosity on her face. He turns towards me. "Hey there bud. It's okay. Just tell me what's wrong" He says his voice full of empathy. "R-Ron mean I-I want my d-daddy" I sob softly "Okay well Ron will apologize and we can get you to daddy soon" He says looking at Ron with glare in his eye. "I w-want daddy now..." I begin to cry more getting a bit louder. "Hey, Shhh it's all okay daddy will take care of you soon enough. Remember, he loves you very much and wants you to be happy so try and calm down, bud, alright?" Neville says in a sugar sweet tone.

He must've been through this before. That's probably why he knows a bit about what to do. Although, I dont think it's helping all that much. I still want my daddy to help calm me down. He makes me feel so safe when I'm in his arms.

I quiet down a bit but tears still stream down my face leaving shiny traces of them on my cheeks.
"W-want daddy..." I say quietly. Neville looks at me sadly "Okay, bud, I'll go get daddy for you" He says getting up and walking towards the Slytherin table.

"Blimey, mate..." Ron says staring with wide eyes. "Ronald" Hermione says sternly. "What? I'm just confused as to what just happened is all" Ron says rolling his eyes. "Hmf. Fine. I'll tell you later" She's says and Ron gives a sly smirk "If-" She starts which wipes the smirk off of Ron's face "It's okay with Harry" She says "Bloody 'ell"
