I sat in a train compartment by myself, staring out of the window at the pouring rain. I thought about the events that happened yesterday evening, which resulted in the death of an innocent girl. There's this one question that has been bothering me for the entire night, and still is now.

I found out that when fighting Victoria, everytime she cast a curse, her eyes change from brown to ice-blue, and I noticed that her hair had a tint of red. Does that mean Victoria is possessed too? If yes, then by who?

Could it be someone related to her?

Someone dead that loves her?

Someone out for my blood?

And another wierd thing is the words I heard before I blacked out, 'You know you can never beat me in a Wizard Duel, Sairose Ayase.'

Could that be the person that was possessing Victoria?

Before I could delve on that more, my compartment slid open. I jumped, expecting Draco or my friends, but instead I found a boy I only saw in the halls. He was pretty cute, with russet brown hair and sparkling blue eyes.

"E- Excuse me?" He asked shyly.

"Yes, what is it, and who are you?" I asked him tartly.

"My name is Akiah Eglette, and I'm wondering if you've seen my sister Victoria Eglette?"

My heart hammered wildly. This is the brother of Victoria. The brother of the girl I killed.

"Er- sorry, no." I lied quickly.

He nodded sadly. "She didn't come home from Diagon Alley last night. My mum and dad think that she's been kidnapped. I don't think so, though. I think she probably went to her friend's house, and I would find her on the platform the next day. I was wrong though. This is the last compartment."

I couldn't help but feel pity for this boy. He's brave, going around the train asking six and seventh year kids. Little did he know, he is talking to the very murderer of his sister at the very moment.

I opened my mouth to reply before the compartment slid open again, and another girl came in.

"Akiah! There you are! Have you found her yet?"

"No, Tori."

The girl's eyes clouded.

"If you see our sister, let us know, alright?" She asked sadly.

All I could do was to nod with a lump in my throat as they walked away.

Remorse. Guilt. Pity. I felt all of those at once as I heard the wails of Victoria Eglette. She could be here right now, talking to them happily. Instead, she is in Heaven. All because of me. It should have been me. It should have been me that was killed. I don't deserve Draco Malfoy's love. I don't deserve friends.

"You're right, you don't." Mum hissed.

If I was a dog, my ears would have been pinned against my head.

Shut up, mum!

"Oh, is dear little Shade pissed?"

"Did she like what I did to that mudblood?"

"Does she like little Akiah?"

"What will he do when he finds out she was the one who killed poor little Victoria Eglette?"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" I thundered.

The entire Great Hall froze. Glances and whispers were thrown in my direction.

"Oh, throwing a tantrum now are we?"

"What are you, three?"

"SHUT UP, JUST SHUT THE F*CK UP, MUM! I WASN'T THE ONE WHO KILLED VICTORIA EGLETTE, YOU WERE!"

Silence. The entire Great Hall is now staring at me in horror. Then, "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, MONSTER!" The person beside my shouted as she moved to the other side.

"W- Wait, I can explain," I said weakly.

The Great Hall roared with anger.

"It was her!

"She's been betraying us all this time!"

"SHE KILLED MY SISTER!" Akiah screamed angrily, tears splashing out of his eyes.

I didn't even dare to look Draco in the eye as I rushed out of the Great Hall. There was only one thing left to do, kill myself.

I ran up the stairs to the Astronomy Tower, skidding to a breathless halt at the top. I stared at the morning sunrise one last time, tears falling down.

"Goodbye, Draco, you'll find someone that actually deserve you. I love you, and I always will. Lori, take over as the queen of the Thunderstorms. Continue pranking, never let Fred and George win. Last of all, goodbye world." With that last sentence, I jumped.

For a second I felt as if I was weightless. Then, I hung suspended in midair. I was pulled back over the railing by a pair of muscular arms. Muscular arms that belonged to none other than Draco Malfoy.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING, POTTER?!" He screamed, tears leaking out.

I looked back at him with equally tearful eyes before murmuring, "Killing myself."

I never seen Draco so angry. "AND WHY THE HELL ARE YOU KILLING YOURSELF?!" He screeched.

"You heard them. I killed Victoria. I killed someone, Draco."

"YOU WERE POSSESSED!" He shouted, waving his arms wildly.

"YOU WERE POSSESSED BY YOUR CRAZY MOTHER WHO KILLED VICTORIA! YOU WEREN'T THE ONE WHO KILLED VICTORIA!"

"BUT iT WAS DONE BY MY OWN WAND!" I screamed back.

"WELL DUH, SHE WAS TAKING OVER YOUR BODY, SHE BECAME YOU TEMPORARILY! JESUS POTTER, I THOUGHT YOU WERE SMARTER THAN THAT!"

"I SHOULD HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER MYSELF!"

"WHAT ARE YOU, FIFTY?! NO, YOU'RE TWELVE! SHE IS A THIRTY-SEVEN YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH MAGICAL POWERS A HUNDRED TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN YOURS! OF COURSE YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR BODY!"

I froze, before breaking down into sobs. "I- I know, I was just so horrified at what I have done."

Draco's eyes softened. "I know, love. That's why I am here right now, to make sure you won't go through this alone. Cause I'm going to stand by you, no matter what."
