I didn't mean to hurt her.

It just slipped out.

In the midst of an intense conversation, many things could go wrong.

Words that weren't meant to be said, feelings that never should've been released.

A slip of the tongue could have a devastating effect on a friendship.

And that, it did.

I will never forget the words I said. I know, deep down in my core, that she won't either.

It doesn't matter.

Nothing will change what happened.

What was said, was said.

And I'll never get her back.

She was my world.

My life.

My everything.

And I threw it all away.

One word can change every single part of your life, if misspoken.

Mudblood.

It taunts me.

I can hear the whispered taunts.

You fool.She will never love you.Never.It tears me apart, to know what could've been.

If only.

Okay, so this is my first Harry Potter fic, and one-shot, at that.Fun fact, this was semi-based on a fight I got into with a friend.Anyways, it's late, I'm tired, and I needed to clear my thoughts, so I wrote this.Enjoy!-Ember
