Helga Hufflepuff- My Revenge

Chapter 6

"I can't Rowena. I can't forget! They took away all I had in the world! My father, my mother! I can't forget!" Helga raged at her friend.

"I know what you feel! They took away everything I had as well! And I also had a little brother. He got hanged! I know what you..." Rowena answer desperately.

"YOU DON'T KNOW! You've got you're father." spit out Helga. She had never been as angry as this.

"My father is not part of my family." said Rowena coldly. 

"WHATEVER! It doesn't matter if he's you're family or not! We are finished! We're lost! What can we do, two eleven year old girls? And that stupid declaration you made: 'we're going to start a war and save the wizarding world'. LIES! We're only 11 and we're going to start a war, save the wizarding world?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!!!" Helga screamed.

She caught the flicker of deep hurt in Rowena's eyes, before Rowena hissed in a frosty voice: 

"You're right, it was stupid. I should of said: 'I am going to start a war and I will save the wizarding world.' Since you aren't going to come."

Something clawed at Helga's heart, the same sensation she had felt when her mother died.

"I'm sorry. I... I shouldn't of been angry, I just... I just can't handle everything right now."

Rowena turned to her, and Helga could see that her friend forgave her.

"Listen Helga. The only thing that we have left is each other. We can do this if we stick together. Ok?"

"Ok." Helga answered in a faint voice.

When they had discovered the corpse of her mother, two guards had sprinted into the room. Rowena had raised her bow and arrow quickly, and had shot the two guards several times to make sure they were dead.

They had run to the entrance, to find a dozen guards outside, swords pointed at them. Rowena had asked Helga to concentrate hard on the spell she wanted to make, and with their efforts combined, they had paralyzed all the men. Then, upon leaving, Rowena had de-paralyzed the guard's ears and made sure he heard her saying: 'We're going to start and war. No one will be able to stop us. We will save the wizarding world.' Then they had run off, Helga shocked and silent. Next, she had exploded in cold fury not only at her innocent friend, but the whole world, even the trees swinging in the wind. 

Helga told Rowena that she was tired and they decided to camp there, making a simple shelter that perhaps lacked the capacity to rule out mosquitoes. 

In the morning, they were both itching like mad, circles under her eyes. They trudged around the forest, groggy and scared, aware that they were completely lost.

"Rowena?"

"Yeah?"

"I want revenge."

Rowena smiled. 

"I never thought you would be the revenge type but sure, i'm with you. Make sure I'm with you."

"You'll always be with me. We're friends right?"

"Yeah, best friends."
