Clambering up on to the stone ledge in the Owlery, I leant back against the wall, pulling my hair back into a ponytail, looking out onto the grounds as raindrops fell down from the sky.
It seemed almost cliche' to me though, I felt like doing nothing else then breaking down and crying and it was raining. The sky's crying.
I laugh hollowly, pulling my knees up to my chest. It had been two days since the twins were born, two days since Aaron had died. Two days without being able to bring Alex home.
It's not fair, I think bitterly, I had already lost two babies before, and now just when I had gotten so close...I couldn't even bring Alex home yet.
I shake my head, wiping my eyes. I wasn't about to cry. Not now.
I glance up hearing a crack of thunder. I tug idly at my jacket listening to the thunder echo across the ground, trying to clear my head.

As I was walking along the grounds of my old school I had a small smile on my face.
I was finally back at Hogwarts.
But something had changed. It seemed darker, more sad. Maybe it was just because of the dark skies above me.
As I was walking up towards the owlery rain started to fall down.
No big deal...Just rain.
When I heard a loud crack of thunder I decided it best be that I go up inside quicker. Once inside I shake my hair around, seeing as I was soaked.
I bite the inside of my lip, and look around. I saw a girl. She looked sad. I just looked at her for a few moments, not sure of what to say.

I glance up, realising their was someone else there with me.
I wipe my eyes, now I had even more reason not to cry.
I brush my hair back out of my face, looking him over. He was soaked.
"Guess you got caught in the rain, huh?"

"A bit." I say with a small smile. I run my hand through my wet hair and look out. "Gonna be stuck here for a while." He said with a soft chuckle.

"Hmm." I say, trying to smile but not quite acomplishing it."Didn't know it was suppose to rain today," I mumble, looking back out at the grounds, watching the raindrops fall from the sky.

I nod, and watch her for a few moments. I walk over and stand next to her looking out at the rain with her. "You okay?" I finally ask, not sure if it was a good idea.

I drop my gaze for a moment, before looking back out atthe grounds."No," I mumble,"Not really. Not sure you want to hear my sorry story."

I bit through the inside of my lip slightly, and nod my head. "Never know. I might be able to help."

I shrug, then hold out my hand. Maybe I wouldn't feel so bad if I knew a bit more about him."Maddie."

"Didn't know you could change the spelling of your name," I laugh weakly,"Thought you were kind of stuck with it."

"Yeah I know." I smile. "But I'm trying to see how long I can get away with it." I chuckle softly. "As you can probably tell I'm a bit weird. You can still make your get away."

I laugh and look down for a moment. "Okay then. More power to him." I chuckle. "I'm happy with being a guy, so I don't know what else to say about that."

"We think he's just kidding," I grin weakly,"Least we hope so." I glance back out the window then back at him,"If you graduated what are you doing back here?"

"One can hope." I chuckle. "This girl that used to live with me and my mates is going through a rough time. Thought I'd come and help her out a bit." He shrugs lightly.

I nod weakly,"Yeah. Had a total of seventeen, now we're at eleven." I mumble, a lump rising in my throat at the thought.

I nod and stand there for a moment. "I know you're probably tired of hearing it, but I'm sorry." say looking over at her. "They'll never leave you. Know that." I mutter.

Then why does it feel like I'm all alone?
I shake the thought from my head, glancing momentarily back out the window,"Yeah. I know."
