New Friends Old Memories (Anne and Humprey)

[Anne Jones]

Anne sat staring at the tree. She didn't like it. It lead to the place though so many bad things had happened. She sighed and looked away. She didn't want to see it reminded her of her newly remembered past

Anne wanted to talk to Humphrey, he had said that if she even needed to talk, she could talk to him. She wanted. She sighed and waited for him to meet her. She wanted to talk about everything. She had done and lost. She wanted to have someone to help and support her.

[Humphrey Williams]

"Hello Anne, what is up? You made it sound like there was some serious stuff on your mind. What do you want to tell me?" Humphrey said in a friendly tone as he walked up to her, grinning. Then he saw her face, and his expression instantly darkened.

"What is going on? Are you okay?" he asked her, immediately switching from friendly to serious. He would be here for her, he had said he would be. Humphrey hated to see girls so sad, and guys too. Helping people, well that was why he wanted to become an Auror in the first place. Wrapping her in a warm, friendly embrace he whispered, "I'm here. I won't let you go get all sad on me. I am here to cheer you up, talk it out. Whatever you need, Anne."

Anne smiled slightly trying to brighten her own dark mood. She could tell now that she had everything back why she had done many things. She knew a lot more than she once did. She knew who really cared and who needed her help.

"Hello." She said softly and politely. She looked up at him as she was sitting while him standing. She was a bit shocked that he hugged her. She hugged him back never the less enjoying the small comfort that it brought.

"I got my memory back." She started staring at her shoes. She liked them they were bright pink converse. "I remember everything." She stated. "You see Humphrey, the thing about being a seer is you see what's going to happen, and when you find out about it you always imagine it in your head." She said still not looking at him.

"I remembered that my parents, they were killed, murdered both of them. " She said thickly trying to swallow but finding her throat dry. "Have you even seen something, something bad and know there is nothing you can do to help. No matter how much you want to." She asked finally looking up her eyes slightly tear filled.

He saw her try and plaster a smile on her face. "You don't have to do that, ya know. I can tell the difference between a real smile, and a fake one. Just be real with me, Anne." Then, she opened up, and he just listened. Trying to hear her out.

"That is great, Anne. Nice shoes by the way." he said, trying to cheer her up a bit. "Okay, yea, that makes sense. So, what did you see Anne?" he asked her softly. He stopped hugging her, but moved to put his hand on her shoulder. It was more comfortable for him, and he lightly pulled her head into his chest. She would hopefully feel free to cry into him.

"Mine were killed, not murdered thankfully. But, I remember their dead bodies, it was horrible..." Humphrey admitted to her. "That just happened to me Anne. I watched my uncle go through a fight with cancer, all I could do was hope, pray, and try to keep his spirits up. None of that helped. I understand Anne." he pulled her head onto his shoulder. "It'll be okay, Anne. Just cry it out."

Anne felt her self start to tear up again listening to him. She looked down and rested her head. "I almost wish I didn't. So much horror and pain." She said looking at her arm. She didn't often have time to talk openly, not worrying about anything else but her self. The only other time she tried she was interrupted by her best friend's girlfriend.

" I never knew how much after everything I've seen, the vision of my pregnant mother would be forever glued in my head. Who does that?" She asked aloud. "Who tortures and kills a pregnant woman?" She asked letting tears slip down her face. She didn't however notice that at the falling of her tears the wounds opened up. She knew it might happen. It had before when ever she cried for her mother. When the tears were shed in both anger and sadness they opened.

"I've always been a loner. I pull away from people to protect them. It doesn't matter. Tessa still got hurt and Parker." She said shaking her head. "No matter how hard I try to save them they still end up hurt." She said crying more still.

"I wish I was never a witch." She muttered. None of this would have happened if she was a muggle. She would be in school and see her mother and father. She wouldn't have to see them die every night in her dreams.

"I know what you mean. Sometimes, I wish my memory was worse, because I recall almost everything. Not everything, but since about 4 onward I have a pretty good memory. Just so you know, I won't ever ignore you. No matter what you've done, or seen." he said, tilting her chin up so she was looking at him in the eyes.

"Shh, shh, it is okay Anne. Only despicable monsters do that. None of this is your fault, and none of it you could have stopped. I know, it makes you angry, sad, frustrated with the unfairness of life. The best people always get hit the hardest it seems like." Humphrey explained, and started wiping away her tears.

"Anne! None of that is your fault, listen to me. You can't blame yourself for what other people do. If you could have prevented it, you would have. Don't blame yourself, for any of it." Humphrey told her. "You are a fantastic person, I can tell."

"Hey, you are a skilled witch. Maybe one day, you will be able to see that one day too. Who knows, maybe one of these days, your visions will allow you to save hundreds of lives. Prevent a tragedy from occurring. Anne, don't ever be ashamed of who you are, or wish you weren't what you are. You are a special girl, beautiful, smart, funny, and yea you have issues. So do I, who cares?" he asked her. "I know I don't." Humphrey said, holding her tighter to his chest. He moved his right hand in soft, soothing circles, at least that was the intent.
