Saying Goodbye (Wolfgang/open)

Angel paced back and forth in the garden, trying not to cry. Wolfgang had applied for the Quadwizard Tournament and was chosen to be a champion. She had begged him to stay, to not take part in the competition that had killed so many. She had a very bad feeling about this, a very bad one indeed. The champions and Cici were going to leave early the next morning, and so Angel had made Wolfgang promise they would camp out in the garden together, since she was unable to escort him to France, she had too many ties at Hogwarts. Angel threw herself onto a bench, trying her best not to cry.

Wolfgang walked out to the garden, knowing he had a lot of explaining to do to his girlfriend. Poor Angie, she was so distraught with worry. He would be all right. Sure, he was scared out of his mind, but he would be able to handle it, he would be competing against fifteen-year-olds after all. "Hey Angie." Wolfgang said, sitting on the bench beside her and placing an arm around her shoulders. He observed the tears gathering in Angel's eyes, and frowned. "There, there, Angie, it's all right. Don't cry sweetheart." he whispered, gently stroking her cheek.

Wolfgang ought to know better than that by now. This gesture only made her want to bawl like a baby, not make her want to stop producing tears. A few leaked out from the corners of her eyes. Her vision was hazy. "Don't go, please don't." Angel said, although she knew resistance was futile.

Wolfgang kissed Angel's forehead, and brushed her beautiful red hair away from her face. He gingerly wiped the tears away from her cheeks, then held her chin in his cupped hands, forcing her to look into his eyes. "I'll be alright. I have to go, and I wish I could take you with me. I'm a big boy, I can take care of myself." Wolfgang said softly.

Angel gave a watery chuckle. "Oh please, if it weren't for me you would never change your socks and you know it!" she cried. Without waiting for a response she threw her arms around him, allowing herself to fill her nostrils with the scent that lingered around her lover. It smelled of deodorant and soap.
