Chapter Title: Slipping Away

Author: Elli Cole

Summary of Chapter: I have a dark secret that nobody knows…

I knew then that it was impossible for us to be together.

But the forbidden always bore fruit of earned hard labor. I knew then and now that I was crazy for believing what I did. She a lone mudblood of inferiority whilst I, being a pureblooded, was superior above all others was a complete bull.

I knew then that I was slipping away.

A few more gasps and a few more deep breaths, it will be all over.

She knew then that I was slipping away.

She held my hand and held me close, just as I took two of my last breaths.

One, I told her I loved her.

My heart thumped faster, every second drifted away from my grasp.

I croaked out my last words as I reached my second breath.

"I know you love me too, but please tell my father I've known all along…" I faintly murmured to her ears, her tears soaking my robes. "He knew I always loved a muggle-born."

I slipped away.

I knew then what she knew now.

End Note: Just a short installment for Lacerate. It has been awhile but I hope people would still like to read and anticipate for my works.
