"Those we love don't go away they walk beside us everyday....unseen, unheard but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear."

It has been few weeks about the conversation we had with Vanessa about professor Lennox in great hall, she was creepy indeed, but Vanessa said to us to drop that topic, so we did, maybe she just went there to meet her guidance, it can be a BLOODY coincidence, but from that day Vanessa seems to zone out.
"Mr lupin?" A voice brought me back in reality and when i saw the owner of voice who called me i saw, professor longbottom standing infront me, i zone out in herbology class.
"Y-yeah professor longbottom?" I asked while standing up, dam how can i zone out too? Now I don't know why he called me?
"I asked what is the powerful herb that is used in potions?" Professor longbottom asked, I know this thanks god.
"Dittany sir," i replied
"Good, 5 points to Gryffindor, have a seat Mr lupin" Professor said and breathe in relief, and at that moment the bell rang, and everyone was packing up to go, it was the last lecture of the day, me and my friends were getting up and was about to leave when professor longbottom call me, "teddy, stay back for a while", i looked at my friends and told them to Leave. Without me.
I started to walk towards the table where professor longbottom were sitting, he gesture me to have a sit opposite to him, and i took my sit.
"Y-yes? Professor?" I was confused why professor made me stay back, was it because if i zoned, i look at professor longbottom and saw him watching me with sad eyes.
"You look so much like your father" he said, "well first of all I'm really happy and proud that you are sorted in gryffindor just like your father, and i wanted to give you this" He brought out a small box and side it to me.
"What's this?" I asked, curious what was inside that and why professor longbottom wad giving this to me.
"Open it and find it by yourself" i did as i was told, so I opened it and saw a locket of silver which look little old, and pick it up in my hand and opened it and there was some waves of blue and white,wait, it looks like a Pensieve, i looked at professor and gave a question look, who smiled at me.
"In my third year, your father were our defence against dark arts professor, so One night i was really upset cause it was my mum's birthday and also cause that day my potions Professor insulted me infront of whole class just because i couldn't completed a task, so i was roaming in corridor and he caught me and told me to follow him in his office, i was really scared for a moment i thought he will give me detention that night itself" He chuckled about it, "so he gave it to me, while passing the cup of hot choclate, and i was having the same question look as you, so i asked him why he was giving me a locket, but then he told me to open it and i saw a Pensieve, i was shock, cause Pensieve in such a small form, so he told me to use to store all good Memories that i had and that i will make in future, so whenever i get sad i can use it as to motivate me".
Professor longbottom stood up and walk and stood infront of me, " I'm giving this to you teddy, cause it's your father's locket, and also cause whenever you feel sad or low, Just open it and see the face of your love one and be happy"
"But i miss them professor, i wish they could be here" i said while holding my father's locket, "I'll store all the happy moments, but what about the happy moments i wanna share with my parents, they are not here to share"
"Hey teddy" professor longbottom knees infront of me, "the people we love, don't leave us, they walk with us everyday, they are here you see" He said while placing a hand on my chest and smiled at me and i smiled back.
"They will be proud of me right?" I asked while looking professor longbottom.
"Always" he replied, while hugging me.
Yes my parents never left me they are with me in my heart.
