AN: Well, it's been a while…

Prompt: Breathe Again

It hurt. It hurt so badly. Scorpius and I had broken up, so he wasn't near me anymore. And it hurt. When we broke up…I discovered that I couldn't breathe. All the months that he wasn't there for, I couldn't breathe.

The…he came back. And now I can breathe again. But this breathing…it's weird, foreign, strange, in essence, not the same. Maybe it's not always like in the movies. Maybe…we can't get back together and expect everything to be fine. Why? I don't know, but I do know this: I can breathe again, but I'll sacrifice it for what I feel is right. Because that is what a Gryffindor does, and I am a Gryffindor, through and through.

But it doesn't seem right…to break up with someone because breathing again doesn't feel the same. I was deprived. And now I'm not. It's as simple as that. Maybe I should rethink things. But Gryffindors don't rethink. I can do it. I can do it…
