Chapter one

He was looking outside the window as the rain drops were falling faster and faster. The sky was darkening, but not just because of the storm. No. The world was changing and he knew that the moment for the final battle was getting closer everyday. He wanted all of this to end. He closed his eyes and let his head fall into his hands. He could see her tears streaming down her face as if it was yesterday. He had to do it. He kept telling himself that in hope that it will become easier, but the fact that she will never know his sacrifice or any of that was slowly killing him day by day. He had to find something to do so as to stop thinking about her. It was not safe for any of them. A sudden knock on his door made him wake up from his short reverie.

"Come in". His voice sounded harsh and even he could see that it was no longer the voice of a boy.

The silhouette of a woman appeared in front of his eyes. Her eyes were calm and comforting. She kneeled in front of him and took his hands into her own slowly rubbing them.

"You look tired."

He turned away from her. He could not stand seeing her worring about him.

"Do you want me to…"

"No. I just…I want to get some sleep." He didn`t want to sound so harsh but it was, just like she said, really tired. All that practice has dried even the last drop of energy out of him.

"I see. I think it is indeed better for you to get some rest. The Dark Lord will want to see you again tomorrow."

"I know."

She got up on her feet and headed for the door.

"Don't shut me out, Draco. Don't do this to yourself."

She looked one last time at his handsome profile. He was no longer a boy. He was becoming a man sooner than he should have. She had to do everything she could to stay close to him. He needed her. She needed him.

She was running as if it was no tomorrow. She had seen them going deep into the woods. It was her last chance and she would not give up on him. No matter what he was saying she knew they will succeed. The cold of the night was piercing through her skin. She was getting tired and out of breath, but just when she thought she couldn't go on for long she saw him. His tall figure was standing in front of him. She stopped and felt like fainting. He always gave her this feeling. This was it. This was the moment she had been waiting for. She had so many things she wanted to tell him but the moment she opened her mouth she started choking. She felt down onto the frozen ground grasping for air. Her eyes were looking out for him but he was nowhere to be seen. He had disapperead, leaving her alone…yet again.
