"Aunt..."  Draco caught sight of Bellatrix's pale, bloody, body.

He slipped off his gloves, his lips parted, and his eyes sprinkled with tears.

He held her body, bursting into tears. "My..aunt...aunt.."

A sense of shock intoxicated his body.

These were the only words he could utter.

                                   ---------

Draco had wept so much, I had begun to wonder how many tears it'd take till he'd start shedding blood.

My poor darling had wasted so many tears until he had begun gasping for breath.

The weirdest part was I couldn't find myself comforting him. I couldn't.

The tones of guilt placed on my shoulder were blocking me from doing so. I knelt by him, by Bellatrix's coffin, placing a hand on his shoulder as he silently cried.

I felt a nauseous but familiar knot in my stomach and rushed to the nearest bathroom.

I viewed myself over and over again in the bathroom mirror. No puking, no vomiting, no nothing?

A strike of pain punched my stomach, and my head spun. Was I falling ill?

"Ah, Emerlyn." Pansy entered the bathroom in a black dress.

I motioned myself to face her.

"Isn't it a pity, Bellatrix's dead?" Pansy inquired, fixing herself beside me.

I stayed silent--rather my agitated stomach had silenced me.

"Your nose is bleeding, by the way." She commented and I faced myself again in the mirror.

She was correct. I was.
  
                             ----------
40 MINUTES LATER.

No matter how much water I used, this blood wouldn't stop.

I wasn't already how much blood I had lost by simply bleeding out my nose. I needed Serena to fix this.

                             ---------

"You're saying, you've felt nauseous then experienced an abnormal stomach ache, and then bled through your nose?" Serena questioned baffled.

"Yes! Do you have a solution?"

My nose bleeding had managed to come to an end. I was afraid it was only temporary.

"I'm afraid not...perhaps you might need a doctor.."

"What if they figure out..no.." I came to a pause. "What if I have a broken bone?"

"If you did, it would've been quite obvious..."

She was right. I was lying to myself.

"Is Mattheo back in town...?"

"Yes..I'll let him know soon.."

Serena's face lit up, she brought herself closer. "You don't know how long I've been waiting!"

"What?"

"I know it sounds strange but when Mattheo left, I don't remember a lot...just that before he left..he told me..he'd come back...I want to tell him everything...about my passion for potions...everything Emerlyn.."

"I see.."

"I and Mattheo have always connected on a deeper level. He was the one who taught me the basis of a potion..."
