I walked out of the large office with an attitude that was completely contradictory to the one in which I entered it with. Every fraction of my body that was filled with nerves before had converted into complete devastation as I slowly and tiredly walked back to my dorm. Within every step I took, I felt a deep guilt grow more intensely inside of me, echoing louder and louder down the corridors. A guilt that could only be one that I felt toward Newt.

It was no secret that Newt struggled to socially interact with those around him. So, as you can imagine, it took a long while for him to be able to open up to me. A year and a quarter, to be exact. And in that time, he was slowly lowering the border in which he carried so high on his shoulder. His border prevented him from being able to talk without a stutter, or maintain eye contact for a matter of minutes. Both of these were factors in which, overtime, he had grown out of whilst in the company of me. Therefore I knew for a fact that with my absence he'd raise his border once more, and that was the last thing I'd ever want. He'd come too far. He'd trusted me too much.

I reached my dorm and effortlessly fell onto my bedding, burying my face deep into the pillows. To my surprise, it didn't take too long to be taken by the hands of sleep and temporarily out of the world. Usually, I would manage to turn a thousand times and sigh constantly until I eventually properly fell to sleep. It's like I had a clock that'd only ever stop ticking when I'd completed a certain course that consisted of said turning and sighing. But that night was different. I didn't have the energy to fidget and instead slept as soon as my head hit the soft pillow. Still in my school robes, I lay on top of the sheets, letting slumber overcome me until I would wake the next morning.

The morning.

My eyes fluttered open and I rubbed them with my clammy hands. I run a finger through my messy (colour) hair and let out a slight groan as I stretched myself, arms flying above my head. Sighing, I accidentally slipped out of the bed and landed on the floor with a thud, probably alarming the students of the other rooms. Along with the student in my room, who I was completely unaware was there.

"Now that is a smooth awakening" The student chuckled

I jumped out of my skin as I quickly turned around and scattered onto my feet to see Newt ahead of me, propped up on an old chair with his arms folded. "Newt! Merlin's Beard, you scared me!"

"And you I. What with the falling onto the floor and everything..." He gave a slight laugh. One that I could not return, having known that I would probably never be able to see or hear his laugh again after today.

"When did you get here? Why are you here? What's going on?" I sat back onto the bed, covering myself and my robes under the quilt. Newt had never seen me in such a sleepy state, and so naturally I at least wanted to attempt to hide myself a little.

"Early. About 4am" He sheepishly admitted

I quickly read the contents of the clock hung on my wall "But it's 7am Now... you mean you've been here for three hours whilst I-"
