Harry's POV

My eyes slid shut of their own accord. Suddenly there was no point, no reason for anything. My heart felt as though it had been torn out of my chest and shredded.

Draco was dead. And it was all my fault.

"GET HIM!!" Screamed the voice of Professor McGonagall. But it didn't matter. Lucius had done what he came to do.

Kill his own son. Because he loved someone. Me.

It was all my fault.

"Harry-I-I'm so sorry."

Wait-that wasn't right. Draco was dead, so why was I hearing his voice?

I opened my eyes.

There stood Draco Malfoy, his grey eyes boring into mine.

"I-I didn't know Joshua would-" Draco started. He seemed unable to finish. "The teachers are after my father."

"I-what about Joshua?" I said, relief that Draco was alive and well and mine.

Draco closed his eyes and motioned behind him.

There lay Joshua, his eyes staring straight up.

I made my way toward him, unwilling to believe it.

His skin. It was still warm. But his eyes were glassed over and his body unnaturally pale. He wasn't moving. He wasn't breathing.

Joshua King was dead.
