There were times when everything was too much for you. When the pressure was too strong and expectation too high and the only thing you could do about it was to cry. And so you did. You slowly started to break after your DADA class, and it only went downhill since then, up until you ended up in Lily Evan's bedroom, flush against her chest as you cried. Her arms wrapped around you and caressing your hair "Shh.. it's okay" She whispered.. and you believed her. Melting further into her embrace.
