NARRATOR'S POV

June 28, 1997 (Saturday night)

A couple of weeks of planning to break into school was set in motion at night. Thanks to secret passages, they were able to sneak. Carefully, they go through the hidden areas with quiet steps and their old uniforms on. Together they step into a staircase that leads to Dumbledore's office.  The Griffin stairwell showcase an empty office, they would have to come back again. Going back to leave, they can hear a party in the Slytherin common room. 

Carson: "Wait I want to-"

Grayson: "No way" 

Carson:" Look I'll keep my head down, I just need to make sure they are okay and I want to check my room" 

Grayson:" Your room, is empty they clear it out" 

Carson:" I have a hidden compartment, please it's really important" 

Grayson:" If you get caught, everything will be for nothing" 

Carson:" I know but-" 

Grayson: "Okay, I'll wait for you. Fifteen minutes"

Thanks to the dark corners, Carson was able to stay out of sight. She was able to see mostly everyone except one. 

She heads upstairs, her room is empty. Nothing of her belongs, an empty bed with white sheets, an empty closet, and an empty desk. 

Taking out her wand, she mutters a spell to open a floor panel. And there it was. A small box, filled with pictures. Picture of her friends and one picture of her mother that Sirius gave her. Overwhelmed by emotions, she didn't even hear Enzo in the bathroom (every dorm room has its own bathroom). Opening the door, he stubs on the floor. Her eyes and facial expressions are like deer in headlights. Good thing, that Enzo was drunk and high. She sat still waiting for him to leave, hoping that there was a chance that he wouldn't see her. Getting up from the floor a couple of inches away from her, he lifts up his head. Together they make direct eye contact. He's afraid to blink, as he believes if he does, she will disappear. A minute has passed, neither of them daring to speak or move up until Enzo finally gets up. His hands gently touch her cheek.

Enzo silently tears up " You feel so real" 

He then moves his hand to hug her. " Did I drink myself to death? I am dead too? " 

Carson shakes her head, whispering a no 

Enzo  tightens the hug " Please don't leave me again" 

Carson sobs as the tears stream down her face, together their shirts are filled with their sorrow droplets. 

She drops her head down due to feelings of guilt " Sorry, I'm so sorry." 

With his hand lightly touching her chin, he raises her head. 

Now in clear view, he wipes her tears away from her face to admire her "Take me back to that night we met... Why did you leave? I could have helped you, not even a goodbye" 

"It was for the better, one day you will understand." 

Before he can retorts, he quickly runs back to the restroom

That was her cue to leave 

Coming back to the restroom, she's gone 

He blacks out in the empty bed

His friends return him back to their dorm as it has become a common thing to do
