I look across the Great Hall, my eyes landing on Severus Snape. Three weeks ago, he called me a Mudblood, I lost a best friend. Three weeks on, and I'm still grieving.

I sigh and let my eyes drop to the green bracelet on my wrist. I think about the green scrunchie I used to tie my hair back today, the green socks I put on. It's become a habit of mine, wearing green. It's always subtle, but always there. It's my way of grieving. He lives with green, I wear it.

I lift my eyes again to the black-haired boy across the hall and I blink away the tears that threaten to fall. I haven't cried over him yet and I don't want to. Weakness. That's all tears are. I bite my lip as he looks my way, his black eyes connecting with my green ones. We stare at each other blankly, neither of us moving. He breaks it first and tears flood my emerald orbs again, which I wipe away angrily.

He doesn't notice the change of colour in my wardrobe. Then again, why would he? I'm just a pathetic Mudblood.

But I know to him, that I'm not. I never have been, nor am I one now. He had to make a decision, it's as simple as that. He chose Death Eaters over friendship. He chose wrong, but I can't change it.

You would hardly think that the boy who called me a Mudblood with such venom could be the same boy I met in the playground, the same boy I spent the last five years of my life laughing and having fun with, the same boy I saw as a brother. No. This boy is different, heartless, cruel. But not evil.

"Hey, Lils, how you holding up?" Alice asks.

During my reminiscing, a tear had unknowingly slipped down my cheek. I sniff and wipe it away. "Sooner or later, Alice, people have to grow up. I choose sooner."

Casting one last glance at Severus, I rise from the Gryffindor table and exit the hall.

"Sooner of later, people have to grow up." - Peter Pan.
