- I'm so sorry for you, Miss Rhodes.- Professor Snape didn't seem moved at all. He looked at me the same way he always did. There was no emotion in his eyes. It didn't help. I still couldn't come to terms with it.
Why did my brother have to die. Why couldn't it have been me?
I left Professor Snape's office in tears and headed towards my dorm. I hid my face with my hands because I didn't want anyone to see me crying.
- Oh, who do we have here? Rhodes. What's going on that makes you sob like that, hmm? Did you fail the test? - the blond-haired boy laughed, and with him his friends. Instantly all eyes moved away from me. I didn't want to be here. I didn't feel like arguing with Malfoy again so I quickened my pace and ran into the Slytherin common room.
- Vivien? What happened? - My friend Lara ran into the room after me.
- My brother, he... He's dead - I barely managed to draw in a breath.
- Oh God, Viv, I'm so sorry. Don't worry, everything will be fine, the girl comforted me. But how is this going to work out? Lucas was my best friend and brother. I always knew I could trust him and complain. But now I won't be able to do it anymore.
- He was sick and I wasn't with him. I will now blame myself for this for the rest of my life! - I screamed and fell onto the bed.
- Vivien, it's not your fault! You know how he insisted you stay at Hogwarts and study, right? - Lara hugged me - Are you going to dinner? Can I bring you something? - she asked after a moment of silence.
- No, thank you, I'm not hungry - I replied and looked at the clock - but you have to eat, so run, because dinner will be over soon - I forced a smile so that the girl could go eat. I loved spending time with her but now I wanted to be alone.
- Okay - she sighed - if you need anything, feel free - she patted me on the shoulder and left the dormitory.

When everyone was at dinner, I climbed the astronomical tower. I often sat here because no one bothered me. I looked at the big moon and thought about what my life would be like now. At that moment I felt like I would never be happy again.
I sat there for two hours and then decided I was tired and needed to take a nap.
I returned to the dormitory, changed into pajamas and lay on the bed, trying to fall asleep, but it was difficult because I kept remembering the memories of my brother.
