I stood there transfixed, trying to reconstruct what had just happened.

Harper had been here to see if I was alright.

I'd given her a hard time, as usual.

She was never at a loss for words, had often told me what she thought, but never like that.

I had never seen such anger in her eyes and it was really scary.

I didn't know that she suffered so much but I had never thought about it.

I never thought about other people's feelings anyway.

She had been right, I hadn't talked to anyone about it. But she wasn't right about everything, I didn't want to kill myself, not anymore.

I had written the reason for that on a note that was safely stored in my potions book. No one was supposed to know it, especially not her.

And I also tried to suppress it as best I could.


I picked up the silver necklace from the cold floor and let it slip through my fingers.

I touched the pendant with my fingers and as expected, nothing happened.

It was her pendant, and it only worked on her.

"Fuck!", I groaned out loud.

I had really tried to be nice to her but as expected I had failed, again.

I clenched my hand into a fist but quickly opened it again.

Luckily nothing had happened, the necklace was intact.

I destroy everything that comes close to me and Harper is far too close.
