Warning: Suicide scene (In Draco's POV)

----------------------------

Draco

I played with the knife in my hands, watching as it glided gracefully over my thumb, watching as a thin trail of red seeped out after it. Would it not be funny if Draco Malfoy, the great, rich and wonderful pureblooded wizard, killed himself with muggle means? I chuckled dryly to myself, ignoring the stinging in my finger. Now if I could only have enough courage to follow through with it. But, bloody Slytherin that I was, I could not seem to do it.

I flung the bloodied knife away from me in anger, choking down tears of desperation.  I couldn't do it. I couldn't not do it.

The door opened and someone stepped in, narrowly avoiding the flying knife.

Blaise looked at me, shock written all over his face.

"What?" I drawled lazily. "Too chicken to face a bloody knife?"

Blaise ran over to me and shook my shoulders, hard. "Damn, Draco, what the hell were you thinking!?"

"That hurts, mate. Let me go." I said, feeling a bit light-headed. "I'm tired." 

Too tired to live. I thought inwardly. Too tired to try fixing things when all I know how to do anymore is destroying. Too tired to attend any more darned funerals of people I killed, knowing that it was my fault. My fault. My fault.

I heard Blaise shouting at me distantly from somewhere above me. "Draco! Come on, mate, I'm losing you! Episkey! Tergeo! Damn it, Draco!" He shook me harder, but I could barely hear him now. "I'm taking you to St. Mungo's." 

I tried to tell him it was fine. I was fine. It was only a scratch. But my tongue had somehow lost its power of speech. I looked down, confused.

And I belatedly realized that I had slit my own wrist accidentally. That, and that I was sitting in a pool of my own blood.

And then everything disappeared. Peace. I thought. Peace at last.

Harry

I hurried off, praying that Ginny wouldn't see the unwilling blush creeping up my cheeks.

To be honest, I had liked Ginny for a long time. She was the smartest, strongest, bravest and most beautiful girl I had ever met. But I knew she would never like me. She had dated a lot of boys before, and what could I offer her that they couldn't?

I may be the Boy Who Lived, and I may have lots of fangirls, but every time one of them flirted with me, I could not bring myself to flirt back, or even to enjoy it. Because none of them were Ginny.

I know, I sound like the most terrible lovesick puppy the world has ever seen, but what can I say? Unrequited love hurts.

Ginny caught up to me. "Hey, where do you reckon Hermione will be?"

I immediately felt guilty for completely forgetting about our mission to find one of our best friends.

"She's probably in her room." I said uncomfortably.

"Hm..." Ginny mumbled noncommittally.

Suddenly, she grabbed onto my arm.  My heart skipped a beat.

"Gin?" I asked, my voice hoarse.

"Ssh... Did you hear that?"

"What?" I said.

"She's in the living room."

Ginny let go of me and walked off. My heart stuttered again.

Boy, I had it bad.

Ginny

Why was Harry being so weird around me? Arghh...Boys are so confusing.

I was on the verge of tearing my hair out, really.

That was until I heard something from the living room.

I walked in.

And found Hermione sitting on the sofa, her brown eyes staring straight at me.
