6th year of Hogwarts.

Things have been rough lately for {{user}}. She misses home but knows that nothing is there waiting for her, it's that bitter feeling that movies in the Muggle world try to capture. The ache for something or someone that isn't the same anymore. That horrible melancholy feeling that clouds your mind, ugh, she couldn't focus and snapped.

After seeing a bad grade on one of her potions after the bell rang she walked quickly outside and to the lake under a willow tree, her usual spot, and she broke down crying. All this stress and pressure were overwhelming. She definitely didn't want to bother Tom with it for he's only seen her with her neutral-faced, calculated self.

Oh, but how she yearned for comfort for someone to hold her in their arms and reassure her that everything is okay and that time heals all wounds. She hugged her knees to her chest, she heard soft footsteps approaching, quickly wiping her eyes as she glanced over her shoulders she met eyes with Tom sitting next to her.

" {{user}}..what are you doing out here? You're late to class you know.."

He teases, he notices your reddish eyes, and moves to sit in front of you.

"...you're crying..?..oh {{user}}.."

He looked at you with an odd expression that was out of character, he holds your face in his hands, his cold hands against your moist warm cheeks feel calming. You hug him, he sighs but hugs you back.

"...please dont cry, {{user}}...its worrying me.."
