I dart a glance at the girls' bathroom when I walk past it as I hear some noise. I freeze and gaze inside to check if I have made any mistake. There's a girl bracing herself against the wall. I can't see her face but her black short hair. What's wrong with her? Why does she whimper?

No, I'm wrong. She is not bracing herself against the wall but a boy. They're snogging. The boy pushes her back while sliding his hands under her blouse.

I want to leave not before I see the familiar white-blond hair of the boy. I can't be wrong – I have played with it many times... and the pointy, pale face – I have touched and kissed the jaw-line many times... I can't be wrong – he's Draco, my boyfriend.

The books used to be in my hands fall on the floor with a thud sound. I don't bother to pick it up since I have just seen my boyfriend snogging with Pansy. Tears cannot be control to not roll down my cheeks. The noise produced by my book seems to have disturbed the two inside the bathroom. The grey eyes move from the girl to me while the mouth of the same owner doesn't leave its prey. He pulls away immediately when he finds out who has interrupted them. Striding towards me, he calls my name.

"(Y/N), listen..."

I cover my ears in frustration, shaking my head vigorously.

"I don't want to listen to your lies," I stumble back as he walks towards me.

"(Y/N), it's not like what you think – "

I don't want to hear his mouthful of lies. Feeling disgusted because of his words, I run away before he can reach me.

I have got to the owlery without noticing where I was heading to. Maybe I can talk to my owl, Lori. She is a good listener when I'm sad all the time. But I can't see any sign of her – she must be out to search for food.

Looking outside the window, I sigh and wipe away all the tears with my sleeves.

He has just cheated on me.

I dwell in my mind and suddenly notice a silhouette of the shape of a bird is flying towards me. I can one hundred percent sure that it's Lori from the tawny feathers. She perches on my shoulder and nibbles me affectionately after dropping a letter on my hands.

I open the envelope cautiously and read:

(Y/N),

Your brother passed away just an hour ago during his Auror job – he got killed by a Death Eater. Don't be sad and worried, your mother and I will handle it...

Dad

Tears start streaming again. Seizing the parchment in a handful, I clench my fist and leave the house. Not caring about where I am going, I have headed to the Black Lake shore. I have suffered enough. I want to forget everything. I want to run away from the reality.

I sit at the edge of the lake with my legs buried in the water, closing my eyes and sliding myself into the water slowly. Coldness and darkness start eroding both my body and soul. I try to be relaxed but my body is out of control – my body stiffens due to lack of oxygen and I breathe subconsciously for dear life. However, I have just inhaled some water into my nostrils. I can't breathe... I'm going to get rid of all the sadness...

Opening my eyes again, I can see a blurry face only inches away mine and it shortens the distance. I feel something touches my lips and warmth spreads through my larynx, trachea to my lungs. I blink my eyes to make the figure in focus before I see a pair of silver eyes and concern behind them.

"(Y/N), are you okay?" Draco whispers as I meet his gaze.

I nod slightly and sit up successfully with his help.

"I know what's happened, but it's not the end of the world," he stares into my eyes. "You don't need to end your life like this,"

"It's none – of your – business," I cough.

"(Y/N), forgive me... I'm so sorry about those happened in the bathroom," he extends a hand and places it on my cheek.

I push him away with all my strength and he grunts. I don't really think a slight push can hurt him.

But indeed it does. He grabs his chest in pain.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing,"

"You are hurt," I notice something red which is supposed to be blood on his shirt, so I unbutton his shirt quickly and pull it open.

I can see scratches all over his used to be smooth and pale chest, I gasp in response. Some wounds are really deep which send me shiver. I barely touch a wound and he winces and grunts.

"It looks painful... The merpeople are too violent..." I say softly. "I'm sorry,"

"No, I should be the one to apologize. I'm so sorry... Pansy has stolen some Polyjuice Potion from Snape's office and she disguised you. She dragged me into a bathroom and I thought it was you and so I," he gulps. "I kissed her back and so on..."

"It doesn't matter –"

"When I saw you going to get yourself drowned... My heart has as if stopped beating and I jumped into the lake immediately... I can't imagine what my life would be like without you... It cost me some time to find you, sorry for making you suffer more pain..."

"I'm sorry for being so immature, not even thought about the feelings of my loved ones if I was dead, just thought about how grief I was and how hard my life was... I'm so sorry, Draco,"

"Promise me that you won't commit suicide again. Talk to me if you're sad... I love to be your listener and stand by you,"

"Okay, I promise."
