Liam wasn’t really sure why he had accepted his assignment – he hadn’t been back to Hogwarts or the nearby village of Hogsmeade since he himself had been a riley Gryffindor. He had been a good student in the long run but he also hadn’t been a stranger to trouble. Really? How could he resist making trouble for the teachers every once in a while? Life at Hogwarts would of probably been dull without it. Though allot had changed since he had roamed these halls – for Liam and the Wizarding World in general. When he had first come to school it had been right after Harry Potter had conquered over Lord Voldemort and it had taken a few months for him to realize what had really happened.
And that if it hadn’t, life at Hogwarts could have been allot different for him then it was…
But he had been lucky to be able to go to Hogwarts during the time of peace, to grow up without having to look over his shoulder every five minutes. Just now? It was not the same. Attacks where happening everywhere, people were dying. When he thought about it that was probably why he had jumped at the opportunity to help watch over Hogsmeade and Hogwarts – because he wanted to feel truly useful after working with the Order since Danielle’s death and he couldn’t handle that there was an attack so close to the school. He had stopped by the three broom sticks a few hours before to see the damages from the attack and it was not pretty – but he knew with a little elbow grease and magic that they should be able to get it rebuilt soon enough.
However he was now taking the time to visit the castle, he knew it was bound to bring up some painfully happy memories of a time where everything seemed so simple. Just he knew that he couldn’t hide from it – hiding from his pain would be cowardly and if Danielle was alive she would tell him to suck it up and be the Gryffindor she knew he was. Just if she was here he wouldn’t feel like someone had ripped out his chest would he? The pain had numbed slightly the past few months yes – especially when he immersed himself in his work but it was still there, waiting to rear its ugly head.
He walked through the large doors and let out a sigh as he looked up at the grand staircase, no matter how many conflicting emotions this castle held for him – walking through those doors still felt like he was coming home again just as much as it did whenever he went to visit his parents’ old pub. He walked into the entrance hall, putting his hands in the pockets of his jeans where he could feel his fingers brushing against the sleek wood of his wand. It always made him feel content to know that it was close by even in the safe walls of Hogwarts – Maybe being a Hit Wizard had made him jumpy over the years. He took a deep breath and actually smiled weakly to himself.” It is good to be back..” He mumbled to himself since it seemed the entrance hall was basically deserted, he wasn’t surprised – at this time most kids where at lunch.
