But what she does know, is that she will never give up. No matter what life throws at her. She will always keep climbing.

Prologue

I was silent as I walk up the steps and into the train that will take me to Hogwarts. A feeling of dread pools into my stomach as I drag my feet along the cold metal ground as I listen to happy chatter from the people around. Wishing that I could share in there happiness and laughter. Instead, though, I found myself drowning in my own pit of despair with nobody but myself at my side.

I kept my eyes on my feet as I shove myself through the crowd of people. Hoping, wishing, that today was just a nightmare. But it wasn't, the pain I felt when an elbow stabbed me in the side was like a scream in the face that today was real. A real nightmare that I didn't want to take part in. Another day without him by my side.

The impact of the elbow threw me off balance and caused me to crash into a door. A groan left my mouth as I crashed into the door. I lift a hand to rub a sore spot on the part of the head that hit the door. I lift my head up to see people passing by me. Completly ignoring the fact that I just got pushed into a door.

I let out a sigh, not having the energy to get angry. Instead, I look through the window on the door to see that the compartment that I got slammed into was empty. I slid the door open and walk in and close it. Relief filled me as I was glad that I was able to find an empty compartment as I wasn't in the mood to deal with people. It wasn't enough to make me smile though.

Upon entering the compartment, I moved directly towards the window seat. I lose the ever-growing frown when I see my mother through the window, holding an umbrella over her head to block any of the rain that was falling. Her eyes were scanning the windows before they fall onto me. She smiles at me as she waves with her free hand. The sad smile on her face made me force a weak smile on to my face as I wave back at her. I couldn't let her see how much I was hurting inside. It would kill her.

I look away after a few minutes and lay down so then I didn't have to force a smile anymore and she didn't have to see my frown and my tired eyes.

After another few minutes, the train starts to move. I continue to lay there and listen to the sound of the train moving and the sound of the rain hitting the window softly. I close my eyes as the sounds allude me to sleep.

Only to wake up to the sound of knocking and to the sound of the door sliding open which causes me to shot straight up.

I rub my eyes as a person leans into the empty compartment. I could hear her voice but couldn't make out what she was saying "Huh." I said when I didn't hear her talking anymore as I blink my eyes to get rid of the blurriness.

The second my vision cleared up, I see that a redhead girl was leaning into my compartment. She smiles warmly at me. I noticed the perfect badge that shined brightly on her school uniform. "We'll be arriving at Hogwarts soon so you may want to change into your uniform.

I nod silently so she knew I heard her. The redhead girl leaves the compartment and slides the door behind her. I listen to the sound of her footsteps growing further and further away.

I let out a sigh as I look towards the window to see the landscapes flash past me. I could see my reflection in the window which showed me my long brown hair that held no bounce to it and my bangs reached down to my dark blue eyes which no longer held the spark of joy it once did.

I looked different. I looked like a different person without him around. I was a different person without him. I had hope that he could one day come back to my side. But now, that can never happen. He was gone, permanently. Never coming back. I could no longer hope that he would come back.

I only close my eyes and shook my head at those thoughts. Forcing myself to tear my eyes away from the window so then I can get up and change into my uniform.

.o0o.

Loud chatter filled my ears as I push myself through the crowded hallway while passing a certain group of kids, I was close enough to hear what they were talking about as I pass by them.

"I can't believe you didn't know Daisy was a Gryffindor. I can't blame you though for not knowing that. She certainly doesn't act like a Gryffindor."

"No, I thought she was a Hufflepuff. She's so quiet. But then again, I heard that she comes across as rude all the time and is always avoiding people."

"That explains why she doesn't have any friends. What a loser." That comment was then followed by loud obnoxious laughter

I roll my eyes. Just because your quiet doesn't mean you don't belong in Gryffindor.

In the end, though, I couldn't help but agree with them.

I didn't belong in Gryffindor. I wasn't a risk-taker. I wasn't loud and I was anything but brave. He was all that through.

And they weren't wrong about hearing that I avoided people. I wasn't rude to people through, I was cold to them through. I spoke with no emotion in my voice to those around me, including to the professors which would always throw them off as I use to speak with a large amount of emotion but I stopped doing that a year ago. Only speaking to my mum, my grandmother, and him with emotion. There hasn't been one ounce of emotion in my voice since he left though. No real smiles since then. No laughs. No jokes. Nothing, not one ounce of joy,

I listen to the sound of happy chatter and the sound of feet hitting the ground along with my feet as I continue to walk to my destination with only myself and the book that I plan on reading as my company.

He was never coming back. I would never hear his laugh again. I would never see his smile again. Only in my memories could I hear his laughs. Only in pictures and memories could I see his smile and the sparkle of mischief and joy in his eyes. For death was permanent. Nothing could rewind it. Not even magic.

Every part of me wanted to stop walking. Every part of me wanted to lay down and close my eyes and never wake up. Without him, life seemed meaningless. But I couldn't through. He made me promise that I would never give up. That I would never stop walking when he wasn't here. I never broke a promise and I don't plan on breaking this one. I will keep walking, I will keep climbing until my last breath.
