Vince's POV

My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
This fire rising through my being
Burning I'm not used to seeing you
I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

Nearly falling asleep to the hypnotic sounds of Flyleaf, I tried to read a cheesy romance novel. Thankfully, I was out of Muggle History. Checking the clock on the wall told me that I had like, 5 minutes 'til lunch.

I stood up, stuffing whatever homework I had back into my bag, and walked aimlessly around the rows of books until the bell rang. Being first out of the room had its advantages. I gotto see all of the flaws in the school.

And they wondered why evil could get into the castle so easily. Also, I could see all of the prefects either fighting, or making out.Ugh... The mob of students filed into the halls as I made my way to lunch. Everyone else was doing the same.

I saw Draco's blonde hair ahead of me, so I pushed the First and Second years out of the way. I subtly smacked his ass, which made him jerk his head back to look at me. Draco smirked and slowed down enough so I could walk next to him.

My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place
The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you

"Hey. How was class?" He gave me a look. Grinning, I found his hand and held it as we walked to lunch. When we got there, everyone from the Gryffindor table was surrounding Harry. Probably congradulating him for winning the Quidditch game again. Sighing, I pushed Draco down onto the long bench and sat next to him.

I pushed my plate away from me and put my head on the I opened my eyes, no light shined through my hair. Holy frig, it's getting long. I felt Draco poke my shoulder.

"You didn't eat breakfast, you have to eat now. I'm not having an anerexic lover." I glared at him.

I'm alive, I'm alive
And so I cry
The light is white
And I see you
Take my hand
I give it to you
Now you own me
All I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you
I believe

"I'm not hungry." Suddenly angry, I got up and walked out of the Gret Hall. When he didn't follow, I ran down the stairs to Snape's classroom. It was as if something was pulling me to the room. The door opened easily for me. What I saw left me shocked and speechless. Oh...God.

Draco's POV

A frantic knocking on the dormroom's door had me and Collin jerking up in bed. I jumped up and opened the door, and was dragged out into the hall by Snape.

"Malfoy, Richards is in the hospital wing, he tried to kill himself. He's in a self-induced coma." My heart skipped a beat, and panic set in. Without concious thought, I pulled on jeans and one of Vince's shirts. All I could think about was getting to the hospital wing, and to Vince.

A nurse came out, holding a tray. She told me I could go in, but only for a little while. I pushed my way past her and rushed into the room. I skidded to a halt when I saw Vince on the hospital cot. Oh my God...

He was covered up to his chest, his arms on top of the blankets. His skin had a blue-ish tint to it that scared me. Vince's beautiful black hair was stuck to his face, and it looked wet. I moved his hair over out of his eyes. What had he done?

"How did it happen?" I asked. The nurse looked at me quickly before answering.

"Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger were there. He tried to drown himself in the Black Lake. The three found a trail of his books and papers and his bag." My heart thudded loudly. He tried to kill himself. The nurse glancedbehind me. I looked up and saw Snape looming over me. For some reason, there was a look of guilt in his eyes.

"The only way to bring Richards out of the coma is to go into his mind and try to convince him to come back. He has made a bond with you, so he will let you in." I glanced at Vince.

"Okay..I'll do it. Uh.. but how?" Snape pulled out a small bottle out of his robes. Random much.

"Drink this, then grab onto Richards' hands. I did what I was told, and Snape raised his wand. He muttered a spell I had neverheard before. I felt dizzy, and leaned against the wall. Snape closed the white curtain and walked away, leaving me alone with Vince.
My eyes felt heavy, so I gave them a break, feeling my body fall into a deep darkness.
