Parvati sat in the common room, her legs tucked underneath her. She had her books in front of her on the table, but had taken a break from studying to thumb through an old magazine. Reading a section on a potion for split-ends, she grasped the ends of her own hair between her index and middle finger. Making a note to try the potion, she flipped the page with a yawn.

	Parvati frowned a bit. "He's upset you had to bring your parents back?" she asked without thinking, not really understanding. Then she wished she hadn't asked anything, unsure if Hermione still wanted to talk as she had closed her eyes and seemed to want to relax. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Hermione pinched the bridge of her nose. It wasn't that she minded talked to Parvati, in fact, she found it rather nice. But a tension headache had started and she knew she had to hit her pressure points before it got worse.

"He reckons it should've taken a week at the most, not three months." She shook her head and sighed. Again. "Sorry, I don't mean to--I'm sorry. How're you."

Parvati couldn't pretend to possibly know what it must have felt like for Hermione to have gone through everything she had gone through during the last year and then get her parents from Australia, so she didn't try.

"Well what's done is done, no?" she said. "No use crying over spilt milk." She shrugged as Hermione asked her how she was -- the truth was, the past year had been hard for her, too. "I'm getting by," she said, continuing with a sympathetic tone. "But I don't have anyone bugging me about it thankfully."

	Hermione gave Parvati a thankful look. She did appreciate her roommate's kindness, an occurrence that wasn't always a priority for the two girls. She realized that she knew little about what Parvati may have gone through in the past few months. "Did. Did you lose anyone?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Parvati immediately shook her head. "No, thankfully," she said quickly. "But all the same, it's weird, you know? Like Colin, he was only a year younger than us." She shrugged, looking down at her magazine absently. "I know it was our choice to come back but I guess I'm just realizing how strange it really is to be back here when the last time we were here, we were fighting, you know?"

	Nodding, Hermione looked at the fireplace. "Every corridor seems to have a memory, doesn't it? And it hurts to walk into that Great Hall." Then she groaned and covered her face, trying to will herself to not think about it and think of something else--to not imagine Remus or Tonks or Fred. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Parvati pursed her lips as Hermione groaned, aware there were a fair few people who had died that Hermione had been close to. "Well, at least now we'll get a proper send off, yeah?" she said. "Maybe a bit of closure, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)
