Chapter Six
The week passed and he became closer to her, always trying to find a time to talk to her. They would do their homework together and sometimes just stay up an extra hour just talking. For once in his very existence as he knew it he felt happy. He spent a good amount of time thinking of the time he spent with her, sometimes feeling himself falling into daydream over her, when she would be his. Each night he slept so peacefully that soon his appearance began to appear healthier, no more shadows following his eyes.
That Saturday the day seemed to go slowly. He spent his time in the library, reading, taking down notes as he completed his homework. He looked at his watch and it was three p.m. so he decided to head back to his room. He entered the common room with barely anyone in it and wondered where Erika might be. He smiled thinking about her. He began walking up the stairs; every few ones would start to creak at their old age. He opened the door and the room was somewhat dark. The curtains had been shut and only a few candles were really lit.
He noticed someone else in the room and when coming closer realized it was Lucius. He walked closer and then stopped in shock, Lucius was with someone, and not just someone, Erika. His heart dropped as he watched him passionately kiss her, his hands caressing her and groping her body under his. He wanted to scream at him for betraying him, scream at her how much she was hurting him, how he wanted her. He stood there, as he broke apart, as tears fell down. He walked to his bed and picked up the knife he kept under his bed and ran to a corner. He tore at the flesh letting his blood mix with the tears flowing down. He tore at his arms, on his chest, and then.at his throat. He felt his life throw dripping out of him. No more tears came out because he was dried out of them. His eyes began to close and he lost consciousness.
He woke in the hospital wing, it was dark around the room but candles were lit around it. Erika was sleeping in a chair next to his bed, Her hair covering her eyes and her face blotchy and pale. He sat up but pain brought him back down. She woke up and looked at him and smiled in relief. She ran over to his bed and hugged him but quickly saw he was in pain and let go.
"Severus, your awake! I've been so worried about you! Why did you do that?" She asked kissing his head and hugging him yet again. He almost forgot about the reason of why he did that and then froze.
"Why should it matter? You're too busy with Lucius. I told you he's not someone to associate yourself with but why should you listen to the outcast?" He said oh too coldly. She began crying. Her tears glistened and she began shaking, yet calmly she began speaking.
"I care about you..your..your not an outcast! You're my friend. Please don't be angry with me when I've done nothing...." She said pleading.
"Leave me alone." He said silently and coldly. She stood still for a moment and then left the room. He could hear her crying as she went out. His heart grew cold again with bitterness and disappointment.
He stayed in the hospital wing for a week. Lying still and emotionless on his cot. He closed the curtains all around where he was because he didn't want the light to be let in, he wanted to waste away. And on his last night in the hospital wing, he closed his eyes, and fell.
