Death Becomes Him

Lonely nights

Simon POV

The cold wind creeped throughout the common room forcing me to huddle into my blanket even more and shuffle closer to the fireplace.
I was alone, well I wasn't expecting the common room to be busy at this time of night.
Definitely wasn't expecting anyone to be sitting with me even if it was day.
It was better at night because of that reason there was a reason to be alone, I didn't mind it after time I guess.
Hogwarts is a magical place but it doesn't magically make everyone friendly or not assholes I mean I came into here thinking I was going to be a powerful wizards with friends galore but now I see myself alone here barley passing classes with just my shadow to talk too.
Maybe it would have been different if he was here...
Maybe he could've changed my whole world.
Nico Di Angelo still hasn't returned to school.

Nico POV
I snuck out the gates of the underworld and headed straight to the river
It was particularly cold in the underworld tonight so I wrapped myself in my old tattered Slytherin scarf
Sure I hated the people..but I do miss Simon.
And that why I'm here at the river throwing my coin and asking for iris the rainbow goddess to show me
"Simon"
And I see through the ripples and waves a faint figure of a boy I used to know, now older and sadder.
His bright ginger hair now limply falling at his shoulders, his usually wide smile curled into a frown
His rosy cheeks now as white as paper.
The innocent sparkle gone from his eyes
" oh Simon "
It breaks my heart to see him like this, every time I look he gets wore and worse
More alone in that big old castle.
But I feel hopeful this time looking into the waves
" I'm coming, Im coming Simon" my attempt at comforting the image of Simon becoming more louder throughout the underworld
" I'm coming ".
I am coming Simon, I lay down next to the riverbed and look further into river and feel my eyes getting heavier.

Simon POV
"I'm coming, I'm coming Simon "
The faint echoes of a mans voice filled the common room resulting in me jumping to air
I whisper out the voice " who's there "
" I'm coming "
Who's coming ?...
Nico? My hearts flutters with the thought of Nico returning to Hogwarts
"Nico..if that's you..I hope you do come "
The creek at the stairs makes me jolt around and I find a first year looking right at me
" are you talking to yourself ?"
I feel myself burning red
" well I'm not talking to you midget "
And to that the boy scrambles back upstairs.
I look back into the fire watching the flames dancing
I can't help but laugh at myself for thinking I heard Nico.
