A/N: Hey there! Wow… I got like more than five reviews for my other chapters! I'm thankful that I received a reply from some of my readers! But I hoped that everyone who read my story actually reviewed. Anyway…
I'm sorry if I really took so long! I was confined in the hospital for at least five days and I was operated on! Aack! But at least now, I'm home and fine…

MY GUARDIAN ANGEL

CHAPTER FOUR: TEARS IN YOUR COMFORT
****
"Get lost, Granger."
Draco gave her a deadly glare and stood up. "I don't need your pity, or your friendship."
Hermione staggered and blinked in disbelief. "What? But—"
"You heard me, Granger. I don't need anything from a Mudblood." Draco grabbed his bag and prepared to leave. "Good day."
Hermione gaped at his retreating figure. Before he could leave the room, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. "Fine then," she snapped, "I guess I was stupid to actually offer you my friendship, Malfoy." With that, she slung her bag on her shoulder and strolled out of the other door.
Draco looked back, and realized that Hermione had already left. Somehow, a part of him suddenly felt vulnerable. Once again, he was alone. He wanted to catch up to Hermione and apologize and spill everything to her, because for a brief moment in his life, someone genuinely and truly cared for him.
However, the old Malfoy in him controlled his mind. He held his head up high, his confidence and pride getting the better of him.
"I don't need anyone." He muttered bitterly. He started walking to the other side of the hall, and before he could turn around the corner, he stopped and looked back.
"I don't need anyone in the world. Only me."

""Join us, boy… join us."
"Yes, Draco, do you want to be happy…?"
"Come with us and you will be happier than before…"
"NO!"
Draco backed away in fear. His parents were visiting him in his dream… not the girl… He looked at his parents… they were looming over him like ghosts… they were covered in blood and they had an insane and crazy look in their eyes…
"Please… leave me alone…" Draco moaned, walking backwards. "Please!"
"Come with us!"
"No… I'm… happy here… people care… for me here…"
"No they don't… we know that… you… know that."
"No… I'm happy…happy…"

Rain was pouring outside. The sky was dark gray and the wind was blowing harshly. It was a Saturday, and most of the students were inside their Common Rooms, in the library, or in the Great Hall eating. However, one student was an exception.
Draco stood on the shores of the lake, his head down. His hair was no longer slicked back finely; his bangs were covering his face and his hair was dripping wet. His clothes were soaked but he didn't seem to care. He looked at the lake, his face expressionless.
"This is the only way I can be happy…" he whispered softly to the wind. He looked back at the castle. "I'm alone in the world… alone…"
He bit his lip and turned to the now dangerous waters of the deep lake. "It's the only way…"
Draco took one step and felt the cold water. He shivered, but took one more step. "Goodbye…" he muttered. He smiled slightly and closed his eyes. He plunged into the water, not bothering to swim. Not less than ten minutes, he was unconscious.
However, before he fell into the darkness, he heard someone's voice.
"DRACO!!"
