He stood there and he stared and he clenched his fists so hard his nails dug into his palms. He had to come back here and he hated it. He hated walking the halls of the Hogwarts again after what he did. He hated cursing the Gryffindors that looked at him with disgust when all he wanted to do was bow his head in shame and weep.

He hated the fact that he couldn't stay away from the Astronomy Tower.

An every night, he would find himself unable to sleep and he would get up and slip his feet into his shoes and creep out of the dormitory and he would wander and he would always, always, always end up back there.

He looked over the edge where he had fallen and stood there with his feet dangling half-off and contemplated how easy it was to simply… jump.

…

If he timed it properly, he could land exactly how Dumbledore did.
