A Friend In Need

@Harlan Montgomery
The Small Hall had become a regular haunt for Harvey. But why? It was merely a space between the grounds and the Great Hall. Sure, it had a magnificent fireplace and a beautiful chandelier. Along its walls were portraits of witches and wizards that had held great importance to their world, but there was no real space to commune. That did make it a rather convenient spot for Harvey and Harlan to meet up on occasion. They could talk in private while the rest of the staff and student passed them on by and that was valuable in a school that had very little privacy. As they planned their way to the top, having few prying ears was certainly beneficial and now that Harvey's second year was underway he looked forward to more regular meetings.
However, today Harvey had not scurried up from the Slytherin dungeons for plots and schemes, no, an owl received the previous day had come with a pleading request from his Gryffindor friend. His mind raced on why Harlan would need his attention so urgently. It was usually Harvey that was eager to share news or ask for advice on this problem or that. The older boy had become quite the role model, so it was odd for the role to switch. Regardless, Harlan had asked and now here Harvey was as he awaited his mentor.

| —— |  you better run, got the wand, already won. the parasite under your skin, the predator hiding within. ━━ summary, this thread is happening on SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2025, in the AFTERNOON with @HARVEY BARROWS / wc: 231. Harlan hadn't been sleeping through the night and the deep, dark circles around his eyes had made anyone who spent a second looking at the fourth year evident of that. It'd been a couple months of Harlan attempting to learn more, understand, and identify what the hell spell had possessed him at this wedding, but he couldn't to come up empty handed. He really didn't want to reach out for help, but Harlan knew he could ask his goblin friend and that Harvey wouldn't judge him for not being the typical, pristine flirt that Harlan often exuded as a shield. Robes slightly distraught, the Gryffindor turned the corner and his visage would scare any first year looking at him thinking he was a ghost. " Good, you came. " The boy was quick to cut right to the chase, especially now that they were in person and the owls between them couldn't be tracked or monitored. " Harvey, I have something crazy to share with you. With an exhaled breath, Harlan's face had looked weary and tired as though he had been thoroughly defeated and exhausted by what he was about to admit. " I think i'm possessed. " It had only happened that once, but his minds had been playing cruel tricks on him otherwise with how much an errant thought would turn into immense worry that Harlan was losing his mind to an intruder.
