I walk into the Daily Prophet, my hands trembling slightly on the piece of paper I was holding.
It had been exactly a year since Kia had died.
I wanted to publish something in her name.
"Excuse me," I say quietly to a lady at the desk. "My name's Michael Watkins, I sent an owl about publishing something in the obituaries page."

I walk into resubsribe to the Daily Prophet. I notice Hannah and some other kid that doesn't seem that comfortable. "Hey Hannah," I smile,"Hello, I don't believe I've seen you around. I'm Andromeda Bl-Piece. Nice to meet you."

"Hello." I smile awkwardly at the two girls. "Yeah, I'm new. I'm Michael, but it's Mika to most people."

"Wow, Mika is a pretty nickname. Well very nice to meet you!"I grin.

"Thanks, you too. Yeah, my sister called me Mika." I smile weakly. "Always. Never Michael with her, so it just kind of stuck with everyone else I guess. Do you shorten Andromeda to anything?"

"Really, I have two other sisters. They suck."I laugh."Yeah, call me Andy. At least that's what everyone else does." I smile,"So where is your sister now? Does she go to Hogwarts?"

"No, she doesn't." I say quietly, "She's dead."

"That's okay." I smile painfully. "It's been a while now. Exactly a year. That's why I'm here." I hold up the paper. "For the obituary page. Still haven't got revenge, yet."

"Ah, i'm sorry, were you really close?"

"Yeah, we were." I smile slightly. "Non-identical twins, when our parents died, it was just us. So, yeah, we were very close. We used to play music together all the time, I know it doesn't seem like a big thing, maybe. But she was the only one I'd play for and she'd sing along..." I trail off, uncomfortable aware that I'd never really told anyone that before.

"what do you mean revenge?" i'm confused,"I'm really sorry to hear that though.''

"Revenge. On her murderer." I say simply.

I hesitate, then decide it won't do much harm. "Greyback. Fenrir Greyback."

"Yeah, he's a monster." I agree with Hannah then say to Andy. "It's just a little, you know, obituary type thing." I shrug slightly. "I'm not much of a writer with words, only music, so it's just to say I miss her, and it's been a year now."

"They do, probably anyway. I wouldn't know for sure. But, I wasn't exactly a good brother when she was still around, so you never know until they're gone, or you're gone. Wow, that's pretty morbid. Sorry, I don't mean to be."

'Well i am for one absolutly sure my brother doesnt care and im positive you were a better brother than mine is"

Post by Michael Watkins on Apr 27, 2007 21:24:37 GMT
I smile slightly. "Maybe. I can't really say because I don't know your brother and you can't really say because I am no longer a brother. No responsibility for me anymore I guess."
