Never Is Our Always

Duelling Club 2

(Minnie pov)

News was flooding fast through the Great hall, Colin Creevy, a Gryffindor student with a huge camera who follows Harry everywhere has been petrified.

"I should go and see Harry," I mumbled to myself as I rose from my seat and walked away from the table. It didn't even come into mind to collect my things as I left.

-

I went into the hospital wing and saw Harry, his arm was okay again and he was dressed in his school robes.

"Oh! Minnie, hey," Harry smiles as I walked up to him, "how are you?"

"Worried about the little Seeker," I told him and he laughs as I sat down on his bed.

"Well, my bones have grown back," he told me as he shows me his arm.

"Good, now let's get you some breakfast," I say to him, "real breakfast."

-

As we walked into the great hall together my whole body froze as people gathered around Marcus who stood on top of a table... reading my diary out loud.

"Dear diary, please help me, it's like the walls are caving in, sometimes I feel like giving up, but I just can't, I can't quit even if I really want to!" He reads and my face was turning scarlet as fresh tears fall down my face.

"Cut it out, Flint!" Someone shouts angrily, but he ignores them.

"I was laying down on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing, I'm always overwhelmed and insecure; I wish someone could give me something, something I could take to ease my mind slowly... they all keep telling me that it gets better, but does it ever?"

The Slytherins were laughing hysterically as I watched on in horror while he kept reading.

"Help me, it's like the walls of this place are caving in... you know? Sometimes I feel like giving up, no medicine is strong enough, I wish someone could help me. I just feel like giving up but I can't..."

Harry looks at me as I covered my mouth as a sob was muffled, then they all turned around and stare at me as he said the words: "I wish I could kill myself."

"Let's get you out of here," Harry whispers to me and then he takes my wrist softly as I went to turn with him.

"Nice poetry, Greenwood!" Higgs shouts and they laughed, I stopped straight away and then turned my head; Marcus looked right at me in horror as he hops off the table and walked towards me.

"Minnie," he said and I stepped backwards as he walks forward. "Minnie-"

"Get away from me!" I yelled, hot tears pouring from my eyes.

I quickly snatched the diary and then saw my bag, so I grabbed it and ran away as more laughs echoed through the hall.

-

I ran into the girls bathroom as I cried, why would he do that? Why... why?

"I can't trust anyone!" I screamed as I threw my diary-

SMASH!

I stare for a moment at the broken mirror before I collapsed on to the ground as I loudly sob.

"Who's in here?" Myrtle asks angrily, she floated around before seeing me curled up on the tiled floor loudly sobbing in my hands.

"Oh... Minnie," she softened her tone as Myrtle comes down and sits beside me as she hovers her hand above me, pretending to soothe me with her ghostly hand.
