summary; george didn’t expect to meet the ghost of a hufflepuff descendant when he went for a walk one night, and he certainly didn’t expect to learn a truly tragic life story of someone long forgotten, either
“cigarette daydreams. you were only seventeen.”
Some nights would find George walking along the side of the Forbidden Forest, the sun long set and the shining moon out to play. As much as he loved hanging out with his twin brother, he enjoyed the peaceful nights that he could occasionally seize, and he enjoyed the feeling of the night breeze brushing his cheeks. But it wasn’t a normal midnight walk for him, as he soon learned; in hindsight it was obvious before it even came to be.
The absence of the sounds he would normally hear, like the nocturnal birds chirping, and the rabbits rustling in the bushes. No, the atmosphere was silent, but it didn’t quite touch the concept of eeriness. There was something human- or at least human-like- present, and for some reason he could sense it.
