Pt. 6

One time in the Slytherin common room I asked Peeves why he and the other ghosts could see me, but not anyone living. He laughed then remarked it was because they were still grieving my death and then flicked my nose, hard. I guess that's probably why I can see Granger on her knees looking down at her lifeless body.

The knife from the box did damage. She tried slitting her wrists, you could tell by the slashes among her arms. Then, becoming impatient, just went for the heart. Blood squirted down to her toes and the rest of her body before she fell. There was still spilling down her side but not much. The only thing that seemed normal was her eyes, filled with a hope for happiness.

My breathing got heavier the more I looked at her, soft noises came from my lungs alerting her that I was there. She let out a short gasp as she turned her entire body to me.

"M-M-M-Malfoy?" the name stumbled out of her mouth. She surveyed me with her blood shot eyes like I was a hallucination. "Is it really you?"

I sighed with a nod. A big smile came across her face as she embraced me with a warm-hearted hug.

"Back off Granger," I pushed her away harshly, immediately feeling bad for it. I mean, this is Granger, I'm supposed to hate her but I can't. Not anymore. "I'm sorry," I apologized and returned the hug. It was the strangest thing I had ever done and I've done some weird things.

"No, I'm the one that should be sorry. We were never the best of friends," Hermoine let out once our close time was over. "Why'd you do it?" she referred, no doubt, to my suicide.

"I should be asking you the same thing," I pointed to the gash in the middle of her chest.

Nervously, Hermoine felt the area with her hand before glancing down. Tears hailed like a thunderstorm as she explained everything. The teasing, Harry, Ron's crush on her, her small crush on me, me dying, Pansy being pregnant with my child and self hatred because her life sucked.

I sat there listening intently to her go on. Moisture filled my eyes but I quickly batted them away before she could notice. The air filled with silence as she turned to me.

"Why'd you do it?"
