Sorry for the short chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
She cries, she pounds on the door, but I don't open it. She's no concern of mine anymore, I only care about people I love, and she messed that up. Who cares if she cares now? It's too late, she broke my heart, I can't love her.
"Draco!" she cries it out, her voice shaking. She bangs on the door again, more feebly. I don't care. She can freeze to death for all I care. She'd deserve it.
I walk away from the door, grab a mug of fire whiskey, and lie down on the couch. But I can still hear her banging. Her crying. Her desperation for me to forgive her. But I won't, she deserves the pain, the cold, the guilt, and more. I drink deeply.
It's still there, the thundering noises, the banging. I feel the room shaking. I drink the rest of the mug, refill, then drink the next one too. The incessant banging doesn't stop, it grows louder, cascading off the walls, her agonizing screams ripping at me, making me scream too, cry for her pain, want to help her. No one is coming, why is no one coming? Her screams should be waking the building. And they grow. Louder. Louder. Louder. I have to stop this, I have to open the door. I will.
But when I make the decision, the noise stops. And the only sound I hear is my heavy breathing, and the clock ticking. Wait...the clock is wrong! It was only 8! It can't be 1, it can't...
I run to the door, shaking as I rush to unlock it, dropping the key, then finally the locks are undone, and all I have to do is reach the knob. My shaking hand goes forward...but I can't. It's wrong. She's wrong. I'm right. She deserves this.
I drop my hand, and start to turn, then I hear the thud. The thud of something falling, in the cold, dark night. I spin around and fling open the door, and there she is, pale as snow, her hair splayed around her, her fingernails bloody from clawing at the door. I grab her wrist, and desperately check for her pulse. Please God, let her be alive. Don't take the girl I love.
CLIFFHANGER! If you give me the name of the author I was mimicking in the middle part...badly...I'll put your name/ a name of your choice in the next chapter :) Review!
