Everything was blurry around me. My vision got lost and my ears were ringing, not believing what just happened.

"What did you do?" I turned to ask Bellatrix, as I was watching my dad for the last time ever.

He smiled to me and left out a big breath, before his body flew away in the death chamber.

"No, no!!" I screamed falling on my knees and Draco sat next to me pulling me closer and whispering.

"He is gone" I chocked out multiple times and he was caressing my head.

"My dad, my dad is gone" I was sobbing and saw Bellatrix laughing evil and Harry started chasing her.

"Harry, no!" I screamed and grabbed my wand from the floor running behind them.

"Crucio!" I saw him hitting Bellatrix throwing her on the ground.

"Harry" I said and he turned at me, he was broken and pissed at the same time.

"Crucio!" he said and I felt a sharp pain in me, each one of my bones breaking while I was screaming for mercy.

"Harry Potter!" I heard Voldermort saying, he was standing behind Harry.

"Kill her, kill her. She deserves it!" he said but instead, Harry threw a spell on him and Bellatrix left running.

"Emily, leave" I felt someone shaking my arm and I saw Dumbledore watching at me strict.

I stood up still feeling dizzy and went to find Draco back at the Chamber of Death.

I got inside and they were all still fighting. When Draco noticed me he came towards me quickly.

"Woah, are you okay?" he asked and I shook my head.

"He said crucio" I explained and he rolled his eyes.

"That asshole, what is he doing?" he asked and I cleared my throat.

"Dumbledore is here, and they are all three fighting" I said and he pushed me down so a spell wouldn't hit me.

"We have to leave" he said and I nodded.

"Wait, I have to do something" I said and started walking towards Remus.

"Remus!" I yelled and he turned to look at me. I felt such a disappointment, when I saw his broken face.

"I am sorry, really sorry" I chocked out and he put his lips into a line nodding.

"Your dad wanted me to give you this" he took out of his pocket a folder giving it to me quickly.

"Expelliarmus!" I said missing him on purpose and started running away.

Draco took my hand and he moved his wand, making a loud crack on the air and we were at Hogsmeade.

"Are you okay?" he asked and I shook my head negative, holding the letter into my hand tight.

"Let's go to Hogwarts" I said and he nodded but I stood still, not moving.

I couldn't get that scene of my mind. My dad, turning into a shadow in front of me. It was all my fault, everything is my fault. And then, everything went black hearing someone calling my name far away.

"Shit, Emily wake up!" I yelled hitting her cheeks with my palm softly.

I sighed, lifting her up in my hands like a bride and rushed to my dorm room. When I got inside, thankfully it was empty and I went to my room softly placing her on the bed.

"Hey, Em! Wake up!" I yelled and she opened her eyes scared, looking around.

"It's okay, you passed out" I said pushing her shoulders down to lay again.

She frowned, but after a couple of minutes she rested her face closing her eyes.

"I killed my dad" she whispered and opened her eyes, tears were falling on her cheeks.

"No, baby it's not your fault. It wasn't you who did that" I placed her face in my hands, our foreheads were touching.

"But it's my fault" she chocked out sobbing and I laid on the bed next to her.

"If I wasn't a Death Eater, if I wasn't that thirsty for revenge, nothing of these would happen" she continued and she rested her head on my chest.

"Sleep, Emily. You will feel better" I whispered and she shook her head sliding closer to me.

I put my arm around her waist, sometimes on her hair, and she was crying on me for hours. Until she fell asleep, a long time after and I was staring at her making sure that I will be here awake next to her, when she will need me.

"Oi Draco! You have to listen what happened with Pansy!" I heard a voice saying and I opened my eyes.

"What?" I murmured tired rubbing my eyelids.

"Dude, you have been sleeping for like ten hours-" Zabini said and I searched the room around.

"Where is she? Emily?" I jumped out of bed asking nervous.

"Emily? Black?", he asked confused and I nodded aggressively, "She wasn't here when I came again two hours ago".

Shit, shit, shit. Where the hell did she go?

"Gotta go" I murmured quickly and went outside, going at the Gryffindor tower to find her.

I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with some cold air. I was feeling the night's wind hitting my face and my tears drying on my cheeks. I searched my pockets and took out the letter that Remus gave me hours ago, which was still unopened. I wasn't sure if reading that letter was a good idea, or I should just burn it because who knows how much it will destroy me. Is it possible though, something having the strength to hurt me more than now?

I couldn't resist it, and I was ready to find out. 

With shaking hands, standing o the edge of the building, I took the paper out scared not to tear it. It was written with black ink and I immediately recognized his handwriting.

Dear Emily, 

if you are reading this, that means I am not in this world anymore.
