St Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injurys

"Was she beautiful?"

I flinch and narrow my eyes. "The most beautiful being in the Galaxy..." I mumble. My eyes trailing away remembering the beautiful girl.

"Tell me what she looked like."

I bark out a laugh. "Describe her? How can I tell you what she looked like when every time I think about the way her midnight hair fell, the way her deep blue eyes would light up... " I trail off. Stop it! I tell myself. She's gone... I look back at Iris. Ice in my eyes.

My gaze stares into his eyes, unwavering. My teeth gritted and my mind whirling. Dark, waving hair falls from my head and my eyes turn a strtling blue. I didn't know it, but I'd perfected it. The look was spot on.

When the girl turns herself into the near exact copy of Navy. Something brakes free and I growl. My irises grow bigger and I grab her by the shoulders. Cold anger pulsing through my veins. I slam her up against the wall and move my face very close to hers digging my fingers into her arm. "Change. Now" I growl at her. My whole body was tense.

I smile sadly. "But Strike..." I say, my voice gentle. "You said you loved me... I loved you, Strike. Don't leave me..."

I freeze a cold look of anger on my face. I do nothing I just stare at the girl with dark and unemotional eyes. The anger was gone replaced by nothingness. I hold her there entrapped in my arms nowhere to go.

I slowly melt back into myself. "I'm sure she loved you. But she's gone. You need o move on."

I let go of her and give her a disgusted look. "It doesn't matter if she loved me... there was never a chance of us happening" I scoff. "And I think I am pretty well aware of the fact that I should move on"

"Then what's stopping you?"

I don't even pause to think about it I knew exactly why I couldn't move on. "I simply can't. Just because you know something would be better doesn't mean you will be able to do it. It's like an addiction you know it is bad for you yet you can't stop... and like that addiction I cannot move on from her"

Instead of the sympathy he probably expected I got angry. "Oh for gods sake! She's just a girl! There's plenty of 'em! What makes her so special that she has you sulking like a baby?"

The sudden outburst makes me laugh I lean against the wall grinning like a fool. How could she be so similar to her? Out of pure habit I ruffle Iris' hair. "I have absolutely no idea!" It was true I never understood why Navy attracted me so much.

I jerk my head from his touch, scowling. "Well get an idea then! And when you know, tell me and I'll let you know how stupid you're being!"

This just makes me chuckle more. I place my arm around her shoulder and grin down at her. "Oh come now. Don't be nasty. Now didn't you want me to buy you some food?" I pull her along the corridors.

I look up at him, removing his arm from me. "Foods good."

I stop and laugh. Looking down at her I grin apologetically. "I don't know where to go...I'm new to London. The whole of England for that matter"

"Let's get out of here, there's cute little coffee shop round the corner, actually. Come on." I smile up at him encouragingly.

I shrug and let her lead the way since I had no idea where to go. "Sounds good"

-Bandages are wrapped around my face and I am forced to stay there to recover from my injuries... the gap between our power is still wide. But now I know his power a bit better. With each battle with him I'll get stronger and one day, Crouch shall die by my hand-

-amaya arrives with a raspy voice-

-Just rolls eyes and scoffs-

-I snarl like an animal at him- Who said I was finished? I still have to kill Crouch... that's all that matters, I only joined with you because it benefit me...
