I'd heard I was 'burried' in a muggle cemetary.
I wanted to come and see my own grave.
Weird as that was.
I found it almost immediately.
Someone had left a bunch of roses on the slight mound of earth.
Someone else had torn up many of the roses and left them nearby.
I started laughing.
Ian.
He knew how much I hated them.
I stop laughing abruptly.
Ian had been here.
How long had he been here?
How much time had he spent here?
I felt guilt bubble up in my stomach.
I hated this.
Hated it so much.

"Pip, what are you doing out here?" I ask her softly from the gates on my way into the cemetary.

I turn around, quickly, then relax again, "Hey Zip."

I look down at her grave and the torn apart and burnt roses. "Er...sorry about that, Pip."

"Thought it was funny." I smile, walking over to him. "Only you would do that, Ian. Only you."

"Only me." I agree, smiling slightly.

"Why do you do that now?" I say curiously.
I hadn't been back long, but I'd noticed the way he never properly smiled anymore.
And how much colder he seemed to be now.
He'd always been a little distant...but...not like this.

"You-...you never smile properly anymore." I say after a moment, looking directly up to meet his eyes. "You hardly ever laugh. But you don't do any facial expressions. It's like there's no one at home anymore. You were always a little distant, Ian. But never this cold. This-...almost dead. What happened to you?"

"You know what happened to me, Pip." I say quietly. "And it just made me into what I am. I made me into what I am now. That's just how it is."

"It shouldn't be." I say sadly, taking his hand in mine, "I'm so sorry this happened to you Zip. It shouldn't be how it is."

"Well, it is. This is how it is. That's just that and there's really nothing anyone can do. This is who I am now." I shrug slightly.

"I miss the old you. I feel like I don't know you anymore." I say sadly. "Please tell me the old you's still there. Zip's still there, isn't he?"

"Sometimes." I say quietly, "Sometimes. Is the old you still there? I'm not the only one who's changed or been through a lot, Pip," I say sadly, pushing her fringe lightly off her forehead, tracing the large angry looking scar on her temple.

It takes a great amount of effort not to flinch with pain as he touches the scar.
It still hurt.
All of it still hurt.
But he couldn't know that.
"I'm fine, Zip. Don't fuss." I smile weakly.

"You know I will." I say, letting her hair fall back over the scar again. "That's a fresh one. Come clean."

"There's nothing to come clean about." I say stubbornly.

"I'm not stupid. Have they been in touch with you again? Erin?" I say, making her look at me. "Have they?"

"No." I lie, mumbling. "No they haven't."

"Erin," I take her face in my hands and make her look at me, "Have they been in touch with you again?"

I push him off and away slightly. "And what are you going to do about it? You couldn't do anything last time! They won, Ian! Why don't you just give up? Give up running, and give up hiding and just do what they want! How many more people are you going to let get hurt? They've got your parents, your adopted father, your brother, your friends, they nearly got me, and they killed your unborn child! How many more people are you going to let get hurt because of you?!"

"Don't say that!" I say, voice rising immediately, "I am not going to give up because I am not dying! I am not just going to lay down and die, alright? And I don't get people hurt! People get themselves hurt! And I did not get our child killed and never ever accuse me of that again!" I yell.

"I didn't accuse you of anything!" I say, equally loudly, "And don't yell at me, Ian! You know what? Maybe you were right when you said them killing our baby was a good thing! Look at us, we can't stay five minutes without arguing!"

"Yeah, it just happened." I growl, tears springing to my eyes, "And it was a good thing and you don't give a fuck about it, or me, and I don't give a fuck about you either!"

"Oh yeah, explain it to me," I shout, "Oh no, you can't. You can never explain anything because you don't talk about all that because it might put people in danger...well, oh wow, Ian, people are in danger right now. And it's already too late for some! You-...stupid motherfucking asshole-...!" I run out of things to say, just shoving him as hard as I could given how angry I was, so he stumbled back a pace.

I regain my balance, opening my mouth to speak but no words coming to mind, so I just shove her back.
