Someone was in the room with me, breathing, close to my face. I opened my eyes slowly, and held back the scream that was on the very tip of my tongue, to see a pair of eyes looking into mine. I hit out at him, and he fell off the bed.

"Oof," he groaned as he landed on the floor with a resounding crash. "Well, that's a pleasant way to greet me in the morning, isn't it?"

"Not really," I answered, "but I don't like being woken up, in ways such as that."

He stood up once more, and sat on the bed, beside where I was lying.

"I'm sorry," and before I knew it, he leaned into kiss me, as I fended him off, my eyebrows raised high, looking extremely scary as a mixture with my statically energised hair, that was sticking up in several million directions.

"What do you want, Fred?"

"I want you," I slapped him playfully on the arm, as he grinned cheekily, "No, sorry, OUCH! That hurt. Mum told me to come and bring you some breakfast, as we've already eaten, and also asked me to give you this."

He handed me an envelope, and then tried to kiss me, as I pushed him away, intrigued at whom the letter was from.

"Fine then," he snapped, and went to stand by the window, and look onto the street far below, whilst I read the letter.

I did not recognise the writing on the envelope, and so tore it open, immediately recognising the handwriting on the inside. It was from Seiji. I looked at Fred, "Where did you get this?"

"Mum gave it to me. I think she said Dumbledore had asked her to pass it onto you."

"WHAT?"

"What is it?"

"Umm…nothing. Don't worry 'bout it."

He turned back to the window, whilst I proceeded to read:

Dear Kara

I know that you will be upset when you hear about what is going to happen to me, but know that it is me who is more broken and more alive from this moment.

Forget about me for the time being. You have your life, full as I know it already is and I have nothing from this moment on but memories that I will play over and over in my mind. Please carry on with you life and forget about mine.

You know I have never been good at writing long soppy letters and I don't have very much time until they take me away but I promise you two things. One is that I will see you again, maybe in years to come and the other is that I will never stop loving you.

Love Seiji Furu-Yama (Your Ben)

PS. umm... tell Draco that I'll miss him to the next time you see him, please!

PPS. You should tell Draco that I love him too, but of course he is more of a friend...

PPPS. I'm digging my own grave now aren't I..?

PPPPS. Hmm that's a lot of Ps but anyway, I love you

I finished reading it, and a sob escaped from my lips, causing Fred to walk over to me, and sit down beside me once more.

"Are you ok?" he asked me.

I looked up at him, with my large smokey eyes, and tears trickled down my cheeks. He lifted up a hand, and brushed them away.

"Don't cry. It's alright. I'm here, you're gonna be alright."

I cried even harder at that thought, and relaxed my hands, as he pulled me into a deep embrace. The letter slid from my hand, and to the floor, floating and landing face down, as I let myself be hugged, and then hugged him back, crying all the time, for myself, and for my friends.

I spoke quietly, in an undertone, "I love you too, Ben."
