[HC. Room] Guilty

[Henry Boggleworth]

"Don't lie to me! Forgive yourself!" he said his voice low, "why do you feel guilty?" he moaned "there's no need, we all do bad things, I should know, yet I'm not consumed by Guilt, and I can forgive myself."
He drew Grace close to him "things have only altered not necessarily changed for the worse."
He hugged Grace close, "smile like you mean it," he whispered "and I shall be cured of all my hurts and worries, have you not seen my haggard face, the stresses I have undergone, I had no one, nobody at all, at least you had your friends and whoever the person is, who you...you...kissed," the word kissed rasped out
"come out of your own self pity," he kissed Grace, then something happened he had not expected, his soul was owned by Grace and he would do anything to help her, this love was all consuming and all the magic he had inside of him, welled up and a tiny part of his soul, ventured where is should not, it combined with Grace's...

[Prof Grace Marks]

Grace breathed in deeply. A huge weight seemed to have lifted of her chest as she was in Bog's arms. All was right with the world. Nothing could come between them. Never again would she let anything make her so sad and reduce her to a quivering, sobbing, self-pitiful wreck. She had forgiven herself and now breathed easierly, it no longer came in wrenching gasps, she breathed in the familiar smell of Bog that made her soul sore.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth smiled warmly, well that was wierd he thought, but now Grace is back to normal. He beamed with happiness and hugged Grace close "nothing will ever come between us" he laughed.

[Prof Grace Marks]

Grace hugged Bog tight, "nothing!" she echoed. She smiled, radiating happiness and love. She could stay in his arms for all eternity but her memory pulled at her. Staying in Bog's loving embrace, Grace asked, "what did you find out? About your past?"

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth laughed gruffly "if only we could stay in each other's arms eh? Well not a lot really I was too busy fleeing from Vandesar to worry about such a little thing, but suffice to say that it is cleared, and I shall now leave it forgotten, the past is the past and I have learnt from those mistakes."

[Prof Grace Marks]

Grace didn't press the issue. Pasts are meant to be forgotten but also learned from, she thought. She smiled as she lay in Bog's arms, nothing would be better.

[Girty Hubbles]

Girty slowly walked into the common room she was wet...very wet. She was shivering due tot he coldness and walked in. When she looked around a small smile filled her face. She saw Grace and Bog, and they were happy together.
"Hello all" She said with a croaky voice. She manged a small smile before heading toward the fire. The warmth hit her straight away and she blinked slowly deep into the fire.
"Nice to see you again Bog by the way" she sighed but she did not move her gaze it remained on the fire and the thoughts in her head.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth smiled broadly as Girty entered and he exclaimed cheerfully
"It's wonderful to see you Girt, though you are looking rather wet and bedraggled, not that I can comment with the state I'm in!" he chuckled
"Where's the big smile Girt? What's the problem? I seem to be the problem solver today so spit it out,"

[Girty Hubbles]

Girty turned around slowly and looked up at Bog she tried a fake smile but it failed mid way through. Her eyes started to sting she pulled out her glasses and put them on, only then did she remember the huge crack down the lenses.
Girty let out a huge sigh and stood up.
"Nothing is wrong Bog...but if Thom comes by asking for me tell him you have not seen me." She smiled weekly again and walked toward the dorm stairs mumbling to herself.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth bounded to his feet and raced over to Girty before she could escape up the stairwell,
"you won't get away so easily, no smile, no hug, what on earth is wrong, what's that nutter done now?" he joked meaning Thom.
""you can't run away from your problems," he said seriosuly wanting Girty to open up.

[Girty Hubbles]

Girty turned around to look at Bog. It was nice he cared but at the moment she felt embarrassed more then anything, and she wanted to do nothing but sit in silence.
"He has done nothing." She sighed and moved back over toward the sofas. Maybe being with her friends would help.
"Nothing." Out of everything that was spinning around in her head that was the only thing that she could say.

[Henry Boggleworth]

"Out with it you silly fool, get it off your conciense and you never know, we may even be able to help, it must be something to do with Thom otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned him, so just spit it out and feel better for it," he advised. He patted the sofa next to him,
"don't suppose you've any marshmellows have you?" he asked feeling a little hungry
"the fire's just right to toast some, whilst we chat,"

[Girty Hubbles]

Girty looked at the floor and then at her two friends. She manged a small smile and sat down next to Bog. She blinked slowly and looked straight forward.
"I have been an idiot. I total idiot." she looked at Bog and smiled "And no i have no Marshmallows we ate them all last term." she gave a small laugh.
"I have been such a fool. A childish fool"

[Henry Boggleworth]

"Pah you a fool, I think not, you can't have been as foolish as me, just tell me what the problem is. Shame about the marshmellows though," he said sadly,
"Spit it out," he ordered smiling kindly at Girty.

[Girty Hubbles]

Girty looked up at Bog. She could feel the water building up in them as well as embarrassment increasing.
"I erm.. well i.." She rubbed her neck and looked away. "I sort of had a crush on Thom and well erm... i sort of came out and erm...he has and well I'm" She could not find the words only the start to sentences just seemed to flow out and not their ends.
