Moria was now being dragged through the hallway of the Cavendish residence by Sylvia as they finished apparating. She felt slightly dizzy, though she wasn't sure if was because that was her first time apparating or because of Bryn's death. From what the newspaper had said her parents, and her younger brother had been subjected to the Killing Curse and were spared of the pain.

Bryn hadn't been so lucky.

From what the newspaper had said it was like an animal had torn apart her room. She had been subjected to the Cruciatus Curse before finally being killed. From what the reporter had said it looked as though a wolf had torn open her throat.

"The irony…" she thought vaguely to herself, thinking about Remus and how he must have been feeling. And at this moment she was just hoping Remus had either not found out, or was with his friends. Even if he had never admitted it, everyone knew that Bryn and Remus cared about each other. Maybe something more…but now…things would never happen like that.

She swallowed as she followed Sylvia into a large home; a mansion compared to her living status, and then trailed the woman up yet another staircase. She stopped at a dark mahogany door, looking distraught, almost hesitant. Moria calmly placed her hand on her shoulder giving her the notion that it was alright…she could go in herself. Looking relieved, the older woman nodded and then briskly walked away. Moria stood there for a couple of seconds…seemed like minutes…staring at the large door. Should she really go in?

She and Chelsea had never gotten along. To her, Chelsea was a self-centered, egotistical girl who cared more about her appearance than her friends. And Chelsea probably thought that Moria was much too boyish. But...Finally she gathered up her courage and pushed the door open. Her eyes widened at the sight of the room.

Glass bottles, picture frames, and pillows were strewn all over the floor. Several of the pictures in the frames had been torn in half. And on the bed curled up in a ball lay Chelsea who was completely still.

"This was all in one DAY?" Moria thought in shock as she tiptoed around the pieces of glass, avoiding the mess of debris towards the bed. The form on the mattress shifted.

"Bryn?" a small feeble voice called out, hopeful that it would be the blonde. Moria swallowed, her heart breaking at how weak Chelsea's voice was.

"It's Moria, Chelsea." She replied and the form stilled.

"Go away. I want Bryn."

"Bryn isn't coming." Moria responded.

"Yes she is."

"Bryn is dead, Chelsea. She's not coming back." Moria implored and with that, Chelsea sat up. She looked so different in comparison to the last time Moria had seen her. Then Chelsea seemed to be a self-sufficient, bratty, and annoying, newly-graduated from Hogwarts witch. Now her hair was wild, her eyes swollen and red, dark bags under her eyes, looking enraged. And also…so…so desperate.

"That's a lie! She wouldn't die like that! She wouldn't!"

"She didn't have a choice in that matter! She's dead!" Moria replied and Chelsea began wailing.

"NO! YOU'RE LYING! SHE CAN'T BE GONE! SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTOOD ME AT SCHOOL! SHE WOULDN'T HAVE DIED LIKE THAT!" Chelsea screeched before breaking out in sobs. Moria looked at her in shock.

"Bryn wouldn't want you to be like this…she wouldn't."

"How would you know?! You only chatted with her!"

"I chatted with her long enough to know she wouldn't want this!"

"She was my best friend! My only friend! I'd sooner die than not be with her!" she began to screech and before Moria knew it she had slapped Chelsea across the face. The older girl looked stunned, pressing her hand to her now red cheek. Moria was the one who now looked incensed.

"Don't you DARE say that! She would NEVER want you to die to be with her! If she cared about you, she would never forgive you if you killed yourself just to be by her side again! You say you were her best friend, THEN PROVE IT!" She hissed out. Chelsea looked at her stunned.

"I know what it's like to lose someone you cherish! Bloody hell, I watched my parents die in a car accident when I was five! But I'm living! Living for them, so the life that they raised and loved can continue living! Bryn was there when you needed her! Don't let those times that you shared with her go to waste!" She continued to rant, finally stopping. Chelsea was silent for several minutes just staring at Moria, before she began sobbing and then with sudden strength grabbed Moria's shirt and dragged Moria to her, crying into her shirt.

Moria stared at the shaking form before gently wrapping her arms around Chelsea and closed her eyes. Trying to heal the broken girl next to her.


"Promise me you'll write." Chelsea said as they walked towards King's Cross, grasping Moria's hand tightly in hers. Moria looked up at Chelsea and sighed.

"I promise Chelsea." She responded. "Promise me you'll be good. Don't do anything drastic." Chelsea nodded, if albeit hesitantly.

"I won't…promise." Chelsea said and then glanced at the entrance to the station.

"You don't have to come in. I'll write to you soon okay?" Moria compromised and with that Chelsea nodded before hugging her quickly and hurrying away. Moria sighed, scratching the back of her head before entering King's Cross.

"Moria!" she heard someone call and turned to see Lily and Alice. Moria smiled and then walked up to the two.

"How was your summer?" Lily asked. Moria sighed.

"It was good…though I spent most of it at Chelsea's house trying to get her to at least get to some degree of normalcy." Moria replied and Lily nodded silently. Alice shifted.

"It's hard to think about…her." Alice finally said. Moria nodded, swallowing roughly.

"We'll find who did this. But now in other news...So…I heard that you are Head Girl. Way to go Lily." She smirked as Lily blushed.

"Shut up Mori." She said her face turning red. "Well look at the time I have to go meet up with the other Head's." she exclaimed and took off before either of the girls could say anything else.

"She's embarrassed." Alice stated.

"Totally." Moria replied with a chuckle. Alice grinned as she saw Frank and then waved farewell to Moria before going to her husband's side. Moria smiled then sighed and began to drag her trunk to where she was. She grunted as she ran into someone.

"Sorry. I guess I wasn't-!" she began to say but then stopped when she saw it was Dane. She stopped and began to go around him.

"Watch yourself." He growled out and shoved her slightly before walking away. She began to fall but was quickly yanked back up by the elbow. She looked up to see Sirius, though his gaze was not even remotely towards her.

"You alright?" he asked quietly as he helped her right herself, glancing angrily in Chamberlain's direction.

"Yeah I'm fine." She said calmly. "Leave him alone. He obviously is just looking for attention." She said as Sirius picked up her trunk.

"Doesn't mean I'm too happy about it." He murmured. She offered a slight chuckle before looking at him.

"How's Remus?"

"He's fine."

"You know what I meant." Moria compromised, looking at her boyfriend. Sirius sighed and scratched the back of his head.

"About Bryn? He's handling it…okay…I would say. He's trying to act like her death is just like a death of a friend."

"He's a terrible actor when it comes to emotions." She commented and he nodded in agreement.

"He turned down the duty of Head Boy." He finally said and she balked, looking at him in shock.

"Really?"

"He didn't feel up for the job."

"Then who…" she began to ask but trailed when she realized that Sirius was now grinning and James was nowhere to be seen. "No…James? Really?!"

"Yup."

"You do realize that Lily is the Head Girl right?"

"I noticed."

"She'll kill him."

"Relax. If I'm not mistaken, I've been noticing Lily glance at James once or twice. I say she's starting to fancy him." He stated and she glared at him.

"Well even if she does, he'll probably tear that out of her."

"I also informed him to ease up on asking her out. Might impress her." He continued and she smiled.

"How kind of you." She joked then looked at the train. "Looks like it's time to go. Ready?" she asked looking at him. He smiled and nodded.

"Our last adventure at Hogwarts. Let's get going." He said softly and they both entered the train.
the last year of Hogwarts!

I'm so happy to see Lily starts to like James.

All story about Bryn is so sad but well written
