$ Thank yous:

Megmul2000: Sorry!!!!

Simsgirl: Just try it!!!

Xxginnyxx: I know they are young, as I have told countless people, but Lilac and Harry have both been through a lot (much later in the story we see just how much) and are considerably mature for their age. Any who, I'm 12 and I've been depressed but I'm not saying anything about kissing because my monkey business is no ones business.

Athenakitty: Yes, yes, can't say yet, I'm still deciding technically.

$ Chapter 23: Identites revealed.

"Hello Lilac" He said glumly.

"Hello Harry." Lilac whispered embarrassed that the person she knew she had hurt so much had just saved her.

There was a long, uncomfortable silence as Harry flew slowly down to the ground, still holding onto Lilac in one arm and his broom with the other.

"What are you doing out here?" He asked eventually as they just about reached the ground.

"None of your business!" She snapped coldly at him like he had insulted her.

He landed on the ground and she got off, she started to walk off when he spoke calmly.

"I just asked because you looked like something was wrong. I still care you know."

"Well, don't! I'm fine!" She said and stomped off.

"How are ever going to even be able to talk to him again now?" A voice in he head asked. "GO APOLIGIZE NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!" it screamed and she ignored it.

Next thing she knew he was flying next to her. "I don't know why you hate me." He said and she started to run but he then flew in front of her and she stopped.

"What did I do, beside love you?" He asked quietly and she could see the hurt in his eyes.

"Just leave me alone!" She said and he moved out her way.

"You're letting me go?" She asked him and he nodded slowly.

"Yeah, I can't keep you here forever, if you want to leave, then go." He sighed and she walked past him, but looking into his eyes, she didn't see the anger and hatred she expected.

Instead she saw hurt and pain. She still walked off but stopped by the end of the pitch and turned around when she heard a click, she gasped as she saw Harry withdraw the knife from his pocket again and then slash his wrist.

Blood splattering onto the grass around him. She ran back and saw him take another hack, this time at his palm.

He had started to rise on his broom but now; he just sat there, watching the blood ooze from his hand. He looked up and saw her. He then bit his lip, rolled up his sleeve and then took a huge swipe at him upper arm.

She got near his broom, tears in eyes. "What, have you come here to watch, or just because you feel sorry for me?" He said and took an additional swipe, by know, his robes being red, the grass being red and his broom covered in blood.

"Don't do this Harry, please don't!" She begged, the tears running down her cheeks.

"Give me reasons why I shouldn't do it!" He called.

"Because you are going to get older, have a job, a family, a wife, kids, all of that!"

"I actually thought that would happen a month ago, now I don't really care!"

"Because, because............. I love you." She called and he laughed, not his usual laugh but a cruel, cold laugh.

"Yeah right! To think I believed that!" He called back and the blood loss must have got to him because he fell off his broom and hit the ground with a thump.

Lilac ran up to him and fell onto her knees by his side.

"Come on Harry, please wake up!" She thought and then it hit her.

"This is my fault, if I hadn't dumped him, he wouldn't be here!" She thought and she leant down to the still unconscious Harry, closed her eyes and kissed his cold lips softly.

She opened her eyes again and got the fright of her life.

Harry had woken up and was staring straight back at her, with his lips still on hers.
