The feelings of loneliness that the rain gave off feel over my body in a welcomed sense. The feelings combined with the complete exhaustion and pain that were both mental and physical drained away all of the energy I had. I concentrated on the pitter-patter sounds of the rain and drained out everything else from my mind and thoughts. I closed my mind and thought only about the pitter-patter and the stories that each drop of water could tell me of falling. I thought of their feeling of joy for the fall and feeling of freedom. Then their feeling of hate for the landing and being joined with others thus leading to being trapped and having no freedom.
I was so absorbed with the pitter-patter of my thoughts that I did not notice the sound of footsteps and the approach of a person. I opened my eyes when the sensation of someone moving my hair away from my face became apparent in my mind. My eyes flew open to see a big and willowy hand that looked strong, soft, elegant, manly, and pale in front of my face. I pushed myself up onto my butt using all of my will power. I than looked up through my hair to see Professor Snape sitting directly in front of me. The hand that I had noticed before moved my hair away from my face again as Professor Snape let his eyes roam my face.
The hand tucked the hair behind my ear and moved back to my face. The fingers moved in a light spidery touch over the skin of my face. My body froze under his touch. I could feel emotions playing across my face and through my eyes. I quickly threw all of my emotions and thoughts into a steal cell within my mind. My eyes watched his as the emotions flashed through his eyes. Pity became the most evident emotion. Alarm flashed through me and I ran. I ran away as quickly as I could and didn't even think about stopping. I could hear Professor Snape running behind me and calling for me to stop. Something fell from my pocket onto the ground and I ran faster. I could hear Professor Snape gaining on me.
I turned into maybe the third hallway and suddenly realized where I was. I ran to a certain tapestry and then through it. I came into one of the old Gryfindor sitting rooms that hadn't been used for a long time. This is one of the rooms that I had found out about through my library. This room would only let Gryffindors into it. Anyone else who tried to get into this room would come out in the entrance hall of the school.
I quickly ran through the sitting room and through the wall behind the fire. I came straight through the wall and into a deserted but clean hallway on the 3rd floor. I than quickly made my way to a painting of a werewolf at the end of the hallway and said the password to the painting.
"Full moon." I said in the werewolf language.
The painting opened and then closed behind me as I ran through the opening. I came into a room of tapestries and doorways. I ran towards the tapestry at the back of the room to the very left. The tapestry was a picture of a crescent moon above a mountain. I ran through the picture and came out on the 7th floor. I quickly ran for the picture that led to my rooms and got in as quickly as I could.
