Remus's POV
I frowned and stared up at the sky. It was dark and cloudy; I could hear thunder rumbling in the distance. The wind was chilling to the bone, and I wrapped my coat around me tighter. I turned as I hear footsteps approaching.
Nymphadora was frowning. Even though she wasn't bundled up as usual, she didn't look cold. Her eyes had shadows underneath them, and her hair was thick and dirty blonde. Her eyes were gray, a dark gray so chilling, that it reminded the person that she was a qualified Auror.
My heart was breaking, but I had to do this. The pain I had felt when I lost Sirius was too much. It was as bad as James's death. They were my first friends and my only friends really. Yet they were gone. And now all I have are Harry and Nymphadora. Harry will be safe at school, under Dumbledore's watchful and cautious eye. But Nymphadora was a risk-taker and would run out straight in battle. She could get hurt. If she had died during the battle . . . I quickly stopped thinking about that. I cared too much for Nymphadora. If I had to watch her die, like I watched Sirius, I would die. I can't lose anyone else.
"I got your owl," she said, "What's up?"
"I needed to talk to you. In private."
"Okay. What about?"
"Us."
Nymphadora frowned. "Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, there is. We had fun this year, but know it's time to stop."
"Wait, what?" Nymphadora took a step closer. "I know it was fun, but wasn't it important to you?"
"Not really," I lied. I almost gave up when I saw Nymphadora's look of pain on her face. Then, her face returned to an icy glare.
"Okay, then. I see. After all, we need to be mature about it." She shot back, as it started to rain
"Yes, which is why we shouldn't speak to each other anymore." I said quickly, before I could stop myself. Nymphadora got really mad. I felt really bad, but if I still see her during meetings, I'll want to keep seeing her.
"What?! Okay, that is stupid! We can still hang out. But of course, you're too awkward to make that work!"
"It won't work anyway! I don't even know how we got us to work!" I lowered my voice. "We're just too different."
Nymphadora opened her mouth and then closed it. She took a deep breath. "Fine, since we obviously can't be around each other, this must be for the better." She turned to leave. The rain was pouring now. "Oh and I hope you're happy now, Remus." She walked away and disappeared into the darkness. As the rain poured around me, it blocked out everything, including the sound of my breaking heart.
