Author: gelsey
Wizard/Witch: Fred Weasley/Angelina Johnson
Rating/Warnings: PG-13/R for character death
Prompt: #36- Firebolt
Angelina could feel Gwenog Jones’ gaze upon her as she ran onto the pitch, flinging herself onto her Firebolt with graceful abandon as she propelled herself skyward.
She didn’t care what her captain thought right now. She needed the oblivion of the sky, the cold hug of the clouds.
Her lungs pumped and gasped, but somehow the altitude helped. Up here, as she zoomed around at reckless speed, the pain was less sharp, less dizzying, less intense.
Yet it still crippled her.
Fred was dead.
And no matter how fast she raced, she couldn’t outrun the knowledge or the pain.
