My many friends gathered around, fear in their eyes yet ready for battle. There was Harry and Ron who have been through many trials through the years. Ginny, Luna, and Neville joined in years later when the threats started to escalate. Astoria joined in when Daphne and I started dating, which ended up with the younger sister growing close to Ginny. Both of them were holding each other to console one another. It would have been adorable if it wasn’t for the weight of the situation. Lavender was someone I was still wary about, but the fact that she was here with Ron said a lot about her character. Even if she was odd yesterday about finding out I wasn’t human. Blaise and Tracy I had originally felt like they were here for Daphne, but considering their unwavering loyalty and their attempts to integrate with everyone, I knew my friends were slowly growing on them. It made me wonder how much Daphne had left out when we spoke during our time apart.
