Hufflepuff Common room

I walk over to him, "Do you wish to talk about it? I'll help make things easier."

"Matthew, you know when I said that I did something terribly wrong? I made it worse." He shook his head. "If you want you can sit down and I'll tell you. It's kind of a long story, but I'll try and give you the short-and-sweet version."

"Very well." I take a seat and ready myself like I have whenever I was asked to work in the confessionals.

"I'm listening."

"I killed someone. I didn't even know him and I killed him," he whispered.

I nod my head and speak non-judgmentally, "Please continue."

"A few months ago I got my girlfriend pregnant. Her parents pretty much chased me out of America so I came here. I was happy that she was pregnant at first, but it became clear, I wasn't going to be able to go anywhere near her or my home while she was in that state. I did the only think I thought would fix it." He lowered his head, looking at the letter in his hand. "I made her get an abortion."

He laughed humourlessly. "I know it sounds silly when I say it, but I feel horrible. I've never felt so guilty in my life. She left me just after she got the abortion. Not only had I lost my child, but I lost the girl of my dreams. All in one selfish sentence." His face twisted with pain and self-hatred.

I give him a brotherly hug, "You have my sincerest of condolences..."

He shook his head in disgust. "What kind of a father kills his child?" He lifted the letter. "I can't go back home. My parents, my ex-girlfriend's parents, and my ex don't ever want to see my face again. I mean, even though I grew up in a non-Christian household my parents still have morals."

"Morality is a difficult path to walk. It's why many find the darkness an easier path to walk."

"But for what happened, the Lord forgives you and your remorse shows that deep down you are still a good man. But a victim in an unfortunate series of events."

"I am sorry it happened though. I can't imagine your guilt. But I thank you for trust me with it and this does not change how I see you."

"If the Lord loves as the Bible says He does, then I am a truly lucky man. I don't deserve His love." He paused, took a deep breath and smiled. "But I shall move on from here. What's done is done. I can't go back into the past and redo everything."

"You know there is only one unforgivable sin, denying God's love."

"But still, you are forgiven, and I wish your ex and you the best."

"There is a reason for this all and that reason will make itself known in due time. Thank you for listening to me Matthew. I appreciate it." He stood and stifled a yawn. "I should head off to bed now. Goodnight Matthew, I'll keep you in my prayers."

Ooc Sorry, but I gtg.

"And I shall keep your ex and you in mine."

OOC Night!

-He ran into the Common Room, and went up to his dorm. Clothes were scattered everywhere. He rummaged through his trunk and brought out Casey's wand. He stuffed it in his ocket and ran back down the stairs to the Forest.-

After tickling the fruit bowl and passing through the barrel I push through the wooden door and emerge into the chambers of the Huffepuff common room, passing through I avoid any contact and make my way to my dorms to deposit my stack of books, once I pass in I collapse onto my yellow duvet bed and curl up in a ball as I attempt to sleep, at the same time my head and brain remain active as I hope for some human interaction.

Lewis entered the common room in his usual fashion: dragging his feet across the floor, barely holding his head above his shoulders, with his arms weighing each side of his body down. He turned around to his guide.

"Thank you for your help Mr. Strayer." He again offered his hand to the helpful student.

I shake his hand, "No problem at all, buddy!"

As far as he knew, Lewis was alone. He chose what he deciphered was an unclaimed bed, and began unpacking his belongings. He slowly folded every piece of clothing onto the bed, before placing the empty suitcase in the space underneath his bed. As usual, he was bored.

What can I do? He wondered as he lay himself out on the bed, not bothering about his clothes.

I'm walking up to the boys dorm to put my bible back in the bag when I notice a new man here, "Hello friend!"

Lewis almost jumped out of his skin; he hadn't noticed the boy there. He managed to appear calm nonetheless.

"Oh, hello. Sorry, I didn't see you there." His words seem to slowly crawl out of his mouth. Lewis drew his satchel closer to him in order to protect it from this possible threat. "I'm Lewis" He extended his arm for the third time today "What's your name?"

-LAUGHS-
