A/N: Set during "Prisoner of Azkaban" when it was mentioned that Oliver Wood was trying to drown himself... I know it says it happened in the showers, but I took Writer's Liberty and made it a tub of some kind... And I hate drabbles .

Drowning

Being fully underwater was an interesting sensation.

[We lost.]

Cold as it was, it didn't feel wet when that was all that there was to feel.

[I can't believe we lost...]

Oliver felt damp. Damp and cold, being fully underwater felt exactly what he imagined that death would feel like.

[God, why? This is all my fault. But it can't be, if the dementors hadn't have showed up...]

He struggled towards the surface as his lungs started to explode and blood flowed from his nose, making his underwater vision scope into a blur of red slosh.

[We still have a chance. If Ravenclaw loses to Slytherin and---]

He broke the surface, gasping and sputtering.

[It's still a long shot]

Bits of salty water dropped down the sides of his face and he started to dress.

[But I guess it's better than nothing...]

With the tiniest slice of hope, Oliver headed to see what he could do about a means of supper for himself.
