Chapter 5: Harry's point of view.

I finished Draco's note with a tear in my eye.

This was killing me; literally. Nobody but Draco knew why I wanted to end it.

Nobody but Draco knew I wanted to end it, period.

At 6pm I placed the notes on each of their pillows; I let Hedwig take Draco's to his dorm.

I climbed the stairs at 6:30pm. I had to plan this carefully; people would make up silly stories as to why I died and I needed some truth in them.

I climbed onto the ledge and stared out at the vast amount of greenery below me. The forbidden forest looked even spookier at night and it gave me shivers.

I cast a protection spell around me. Any intruders wouldn't be able to get through it.

Tears rolled down my face as I stepped closer to my death.

The door opened and closed. I wondered who it was.

A few seconds later, the same thing happened.

"Harry! Stop!"

My heart stopped. All I needed to move away from the ledge was that sweet voice. It couldn't pull me away now, I'd come so far.

I stepped even closer. I could hear sobs from Ginny.

"Harry! What the fuck do you think you're playing at? Don't even joke about this!"

Ron had obviously read my note and gotten angry. I muffled a sob as I felt the semi circle of protection expand and saw a flash of blue light erupt around me.

I had hoped that Quidditch would last longer; I had jinxed a few of the brooms to make sure.

The door opened again and my heart burst.

"You promised!" This voice was more recognisable to me than my own broomstick.

He'd arrived.

"Look Harry, if you jump, I'm coming after you. Because I seriously can't live without you. In fact, if you're suicidal, I can't live with you. I'm gonna jump, right now, with you." I squeezed my eyes shut. It wasn't a fact that I'd promised; I changed my mind. So much had happened since then... this was the only way out.

Ginny sobbed again and I heard faint footsteps pad over to my left. He wasn't kidding.

"You have a chance to stop me, Harry. Just say the words and I'll stay alive." My voice was trapped in my throat and I refused to turn.

"Don't make me do this; you know how much I hate heights!" I did, he wouldn't take Astronomy or Divination because of it. He could never look out the window from Gryffindor Tower.

I muffled another sob.

"Bye Harry, see you whenever."

I snapped; Draco wasn't one to say and not do... I turned and fled from the window. I heard the loud squeak from Ron and a loud sob from Harry.

"No!" I screamed, throwing myself at Draco and pulling him back from the edge.

"Don't... please!" I said, sobbing.

"I wasn't going to jump you idiot! Why would I jump when I'm scared of heights?" Draco was laughing and trying to push me backwards. I knew he'd do this! Why did I snap!

I realised something; I wasn't alone.

And I don't think I'll ever be.

Ginny fled the room; I knew she must be hurt.

I'd deal with it later; I needed to talk to Ron and Hermione about a certain lover I'd been hiding from them for 2 years.
