I remember the last train ride I took back from Hogwarts. I remember being in the car, listening to the clack, clack, clack of the train on the rails. I remember watching the rain sheet down on the windows. I remember the horrid numbness that had no room for tears yet.

I remember my friends descending on me to ‘cheer me up’.

I remember screaming at them to leave me alone before threatening to hex them all to hell and back again. I remember leaning my head on the icy glass, wishing that I could be as cold as you.
