A Feather Quill And A Thin Line.

The Dark Lord. A Dark Puddle. (Chapter 8)

I look at them as they asked if I wanted to go for a walk.. should I.. take that dream as a warning?.. I shake my head no and Harry looked at me worried "come on Y/N. We want to help you feel better leaving the school would be a good change in scenery." I grab my notebook and write. 'As long as you guys don't let me out of your sight' they were a bit confused as to why I wanted them to keep an eye on me but had agreed to anyway.. I got on some thick clothing and a few more layers of clothes then I usually would in this weather.. I stay next to them as we head out into the snow for a walk..

We had walked a little ways away and we finally decided to turn back. As we started to head back to hogwarts the snow started to pick up.. It started to get colder.. what was small snowflakes dancing in the air was now big snowflakes at war with eachother.. I close my eyes for a second and open them again to see my friends have vanished in the snow fall.. I hold onto my wand and quietly cast 'protego' to protect me from any spells that could come at me.. I keep going straight. Hoping if I keep heading this way I'll find Hogwarts.. I see a figure up a head and I cautiously move foward gripping my wand under my long sleeve.. It was him.. the same one from my dream. I didnt hesitate to start running. The now blizzard covering me and the air in snow as the wind blew some snow from the ground back into the air for another ride. Spells flew at me as I ran. My heart beating in my chest so hard it felt like it was in my throat. There. In the thick snow I can still see the shadowy silhouette of the school.. I run as fast as my legs could take me. Till something wrapped around my legs making me fall to the ground. I pull out my wand turning around quickly.. it was just a vine. I look around and a see no one behind me.. I try to catch my breath as I untangled the vine from my legs.. was I just hallucinating?.. was that real? Where did they go? I get up out of the snow and I make my way inside shivering from being out in the cold.. my friends were walking through the hall and they saw me.. the quickly came over. "Y/N? Where have you been?" Aske Hermione. They all didn't expect an answer as they helped me to my dorm.. when I got there I took my notebook and wrote down 'where have I been?? You guys left me outside in the snow.' They looked at me confused till Ron spoke up "Y/N we didnt go anywhere today. We didnt even see you till now.." now it was my turn to be confused.. then who the hell were I walking with? Was this just a sick joke? It's the end of the day as I walk back to the last class that I missed. Potions.. I walk into the class and I see snape grading papers. "Why. Were you absent from my class miss L/N." I close the door behind me. "I was out for a walk when the snow got worse.. I didnt mean to be caught out like that." He doesnt look up as he dips the tip of his grey feather quill into the black ink. He 'hms' as a response. Obviously not caring that I could have died in the blizzard if I didnt find my way back. "Im.. sorry I missed your class.. sir.. it wont happen again." I look down. Why does he shut me out. I just want to get closer to him but it hurts every time he pushes me away. I grab my make up work and head I head out the door. I hold the papers close as I get to my room as fast as I could.. I didnt want to be alone but I couldn't ask him if i could stay he'd just ask why.. I cant tell him why.. I put my papers down. I finished my work a while later.. I couldnt take the silence of the night.. I grip my arms.. I grip onto them tight making the cuts open and cry their tears of blood.. dripping down onto the floor. Not noticing some drop onto the pages of my work..

The next day I gave snape my work before class he takes it without a word. He didnt need to tell me that he wanted me to go sit down at my desk. I slump into the chair and put my stuff down. My head hurt and my body ached. Before I came I had added to my secret carvings of sorrow.. some of them still bleeding as I worried a bit but I didn't show that I was destrot. "Miss/Mister/Mx L/N.." he pulled me out of my thoughts as he motions me over. I didnt want to get up for the fear of fainting but I listen as I make my way over.. then I see it.. the blood on my paper. "Is this.. your blood." I open my mouth to tell a fib but before I could I felt my vision going in and out of being blurry and not as I stumble back a bit "I.." I wasnt able to finish my sentence. I see him rush to me as I black out... Drifting off into the darkness.. Is this it.. Is this how I die.. I.. dont want to die. Please.. I.. I want to live.. I start getting colder.. and colder..

This couldn't be how I die.. please..
