I rushed away from Dumbledore's office, my mind focused on just putting as much distance between the two of us as possible. I wasn't going to become violent, I couldn't, because I know that's what he wants.

I was so wrapped in my own head I almost missed Pansy and Theo rushing past me heading in the direction I had just come from. But I was to upset to worry about them right now.

My mind was all over the place, he ruined so many lives and for what? What was his goal?! Why did our lives have so little value to him? Why did we have to make the sacrifices?! Why did suddenly feel the need to tell me now?

They trusted him! Everyone trusted him, and he didn't care. He didn't even regret it.

I look down at my hand to see I was still holding his wand and I scoffed throwing it to the ground before I went to find Snape. I need to talk to him.

"Severus...you here?Sev?" I whispered walking into his office to find it empty an I just leaned against the closed door trying so hard to keep it together. He didn't deserve to make me cry, he didn't deserve that kind of satisfaction. None of them did. Not Dumbledore, not Madame B., not Dreykov, not Pierce, no The Red Room, or even HYDRA.

"He ruined my life, and he's not even sorry. What did I ever do for so many people to ruin me so bad?! Huh? What did I do?" I cried not being able to hold it in as my whole body shook and I slid to the floor hugging my knees to my chest fully allowing myself to break down.

Before I could stop myself I just let out all of my emotions while sitting in the dark, dessert office, hidden from the world. For the first time in my life I finally stopped compartmentalizing and just allowed myself to scream.

Several Hours Later( July 1st, 2017)

I let out a pained groan as I sat up and look around to see I'd cried myself to sleep. I held my hand to the side of my head as I slowly got up to my feet and blinked a few times.

I looked at the clock on the wall to see it was nearing 11am an I sighed, Dumbledore's secrets would be out by now an I still haven't gotten a chance to talk to Snape about it.  I decided to just go to my dorm and make sure all my things since it would be time to go home soon and I knew I wouldn't want to talk to anyone not after the horrible night I've had.

With my hand on the doorknob I wiped away any stray tears before forcing a practiced smile on my face. I can do this, I'm just gonna go straight to my dorm and not say anything to anyone.

"Words can't describe my shock, or anyone's I'm sure. I'm a unimaginable turn of events, the secrets of Dumbledore are being revealed before our eyes." I heard a daily prophet reporter named Mr. Amorim's voice ringing out from the TV as soon as I stepped foot in the common room.

I look around to see Harry leaning against Draco with tears in his eyes, as Hermione, Ginny, Luna, and Daphne held each other while staring at the TV. Blaise sat in the corner with Neville, Seamus, and Dean, Katie sat on the floor glaring daggers at the TV screen and lastly Ron. He was nervously pacing in front of the stairs while biting his thumb.

"Effy!" Ginny gasped being the first person to notice my presence and everyone turned to me. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing sound came out as Ron quickly walked over as pulled me into a hug.

The emotion in the room was overwhelming as I glanced over at the TV to see the story headline:

Albus Dumbledore sends confession before death; Severus Snape on the run for murder
