[evandar]

Title: Nightingale
Author: Evandar
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Angst
Pairings: Parvati/Lavender
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and am making no profit from this story.
Summary: Seventh year, with added Death Eaters. Lavender finds her calling.
Author's Notes: Written for the prompt Pisces on femslash100's Astrology Challenge. My table can be found here. According to Astrology.com, Pisceans are selfless, spiritual and very focused on their inner journey.



Their dorm is empty without Granger and they take advantage of it eagerly on their first night, desperate and tender all at once.

They take advantage of it constantly afterwards, tending to injured students with spells hastily copied out of library books, while keeping their heads down during the day. They meekly follow the Carrows’ orders until they go too far and they have to hide in the Room of Requirement with the others, but there’s bravery in what they do. They maintain their freedom to learn what they can; snippets of stolen knowledge.

Lavender wants to be a Healer. She has a talent for it, and a bedside manner that can make anyone smile. “I can do it,” she says, holding Parvati close. “I know I can do it.”

“You’ll be wonderful,” Parvati tells her before they’re shushed. Lights out. Curfew.

Lavender will never become a healer. Werewolves can’t.

Wow, that last paragraph hit me like a punch to the gut. As achingly lovely as always. And congratulations on finishing your table!
