Oh Hold: Merope (a Harry Potter fanfic)

Chapter 5

A/N I can't dedicate chapters on my phone, but this chapter is unofficially dedicated to @GracieBugs. Go check out her AWESOME Maze Runner fanfic!! It's called "The One Named Minho and it's really good. Alright, on with the show...

She looked shocked for a moment before mastering her expression and looking at me once again impassively. "Are you sure?" She asks gently, "We could help you." I want to be tempeted by this offer but I have already decided against taking their help.

"No." I said, as firmly as I dared. The woman in front nodded her head, and I could tell that against her better judgment, she would obey my wish, and for that I respected her.

They began to walk out of the woods, and I followed close behind. I could hear the woman in the front and Bob talking about Morfin, but I didn't care to eavesdrop.

There was a time when, dispite her cruel nature, I would have at least cared what happened to him, but not anymore. When he told father about Tom, it was as if some sort of bond was severed between us. Before that I had still refrained from hating him because he was my brother, my family, my kin. But now I realize that that should not have mattered for anything. It certainly does not now.

So, instead of listening to Ministry officials discuss my brother's fate, I occupy my mind with thoughts of where I should go. I have never left Little Hangelton before, but it occurs to me that I could go anywhere.

Soon enough, I settle on one location. I have always wanted to go there, this place I have only heard about, only dreamed about, but it always seemed so wonderful in my head. I realize that I could not go anywhere else. I certainly can't stay in the tiny house I've spent the last sixteen years being terrorized in. There was no getting around it for me; I would go to London.

A/N this is just a filler I know it sucks and it's tiny. Sorry!! But trust me, I'm in the midst of planning something really big for this story, so just hang in there.
