A/N Last chapter of psiscm!

The farewell she never had. Damn these titles.

Dear Ginny,

Things are getting worse. It isn't as I had expected. All they focus on is the Dark Arts. Not extremely inviting. How's it going over there? I bet it's absolutely wonderful.

You know how I told you before I had made heaps of friends and knew practically everyone, I've figured out everyone's a pure-blood. I feel I shouldn't be here, because you know I'm a half-blood.

I'm scared if Karkaroff finds out..something might happen. Maybe you were right Gin. For now, I'm keeping it a secret. I miss you terrible Gin, I really miss Hogwarts and you and everyone's company. I wish I was there.

I wanted to ask if I could shorten my stay, but then I figured he'd ask why, and I didn't want to sound rude or ungrateful, and say Durmstrang made me feel uncomfortable.

Don't worry about me, Gin. Take care of yourself.

I'll be fine.

Love you lots and lots and lots,

Tal.

As Ginny finished, she looked up to Dumbledore, dreading the worst.

"The owl almost didn't make it."

"What do you mean Professor?" She was trying to sound as strong as she could. But her voice still wavered. His eyes had lost their usual sparkle.

"I'm sorry Miss Weasley."

Ginny dropped to the floor on her knees. She clutched the letter tightly.

"No."

"Karkaroff found out, Miss Weasley."

"This isn't true."

"I assure you he is going to Azkaban."

"What sort of a sick twisted joke is this?!" She yelled.

She ran out of his office and down the stairs, tears making their way down her face. She ran straight into Draco.

"Whoa, what the hell?"

"It was like she knew she was going to die."

"Slow down a bit, you're losing me."

"She's dead, Draco. Talisha died." She sobbed, sinking into his arms.

"Oh My god."

She pushed herself off and ran to her dormitory.

"Ginny!" Draco called after her. But made no attempt to chase her.

He knew she needed time.

"It was like she knew she was going to die."

Ginny finished throwing up, and flushed the toilet. She felt so sick. She still thought Talisha was playing tricks on her. But no. She was gone. Dead. No more.

She stuck her head in the toilet bowl once more.

A few weeks later....

"How's it all going?"

"It's been alright."

They stayed silent for a few minutes. (A/N sorry to interrupt, but I think it's like a Ginny/Draco tradition in this fic, staying silent. hehe. sorry.)

"You wanna go out sometime?"

"I can't go out with you Draco."

"Why? You don't like me? I'd find that hard to believe."

"You don't get it, do you?"

"Explain, and I'll tell you whether I get it."

"I've liked you from, like, I don't know."

"So, what's the problem?"

"Draco I'm afraid now every time I look at you I'm not going to see you. I'm going to see the guy Tal liked. I'm going to see Tal. That way I'll never get over it. I'd go crazy. She was my best friend Draco."

"I see. I guess..."

"I've really wanted to go out with you. But we can't change anything. It's done."

"This whole system is fucked."

Ginny nodded. "It is."

They both stood up. Draco kissed Ginny softly on the cheek.

"You're a great chick Ginny. Don't mess with your style. Good luck."

With that he walked back into the castle.

"Thanks," she whispered, as she stared out towards the lake.

Give me a reason to believe you're gone

I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong

Moonlight on the soft brown earth

It leads me to where you lay

They took you away from me but now

I'm taking you home...

"Even In Death" - Evanescence

FIN.

A/N: I've had this chapter for a g e s. I wasn't bothered uploading it and stuff. I look back on this story, and I realise how much I've changed. If I'd written this story now, it would be so much different. But I'm going to keep it as the original, and someday, like today, I'll look back on it again, and think of my humble roots as a fanfiction writer. But, it's time to move onto bigger, and better things. My latest works are all original fiction. Thank you all for reviewing, or/and reading. You have meant so much to me.

Hey, maybe someday I'll write another fanfic.

I will waste your time no further. I would name all the people I would like to thank, but there really are too many.

Give one last review, and I'll burst into tears forever.

Or, close to it.
