Hey Guys! I really wanted to write something, and this kept coming back to me. So here it is!

The Bravery of a Gryffindor
I stood in front of the window, watching the rain pour outside of the castle. I could see no way out anymore. This was my only option.
I looked up to the Astronomy Tower, the tallest tower of Hogwarts. Lightening flashed across the sky, nearly striking the tower. I shuddered involuntarily, and turned around. The Girls Dormitory was quiet, and the large room no longer looked inviting. I walked to the staircase, realizing, if this went the way I hoped, that I would never see the room again.
Tears welled in my eyes, but I told myself that I couldn't cry. I had to be strong in my last moments. I composed myself on the way down the Girls' Staircase, hoping desperately no one would still be in the Common Room. I peeked around the corner, reminding myself of the little girl I was playing Hide-And-Seek with my muggle friends when I was five years old. I wondered what happened to her.
No one was in the Common Room. I wasn't surprised. It was late.
Again, the realization hit me. I would never see another Gryffindor, including myself. My Gryffindor pride was fading with each step I took. Soon, the Gryffindor girl would use the last of her bravery to plunge herself off of the highest tower.
. . .
The walk seemed to go by quickly, as if time was ticking away. I smiled sadly: I guess it was. The tower ground was slick from the rain that continued to fall. I was glad it was raining. It made me feel like the sky was crying over the loss that was about to endure.
I walked to the edge, preparing to fall, and staring over the edge. It was a long fall. I leaned forward, but voices stopped me. Ron's. Harry's. Calling me back. But I couldn't.
I leaned over the edge again, farther this time….and fell.
Leave a review to let me know what you thought! Thanks!
