Just one drop,
That's all he asked for.
To feel the rain
Once more on his skin
And know that he
Was still alive.
Barty slipped his fingers
Through the metal bars
That covered the little window.
He couldn't reach the rain.
The hyena laughs
Of the mad and deranged
Never stop echoing
Around this god-forsaken place,
And the chill of the Dementors,
And the despair of the damned,
Hangs heavy in the air.
The cold stone wall is a comfort;
It reminds him he can still feel,
And as he lay his head against it,
He tried to remind himself why he was there:
To wait for his master to rise yet again.
But his master could not see
What Barty saw.
Barty saw the rain
Falling in sheets of brilliant silver.
Barty saw the ocean
Rising against the rock.
Barty saw no freedom
From his little cell in Azkaban.
And Barty saw no hope
Of touching the rain again.
Slender fingers strained
Against the heavy, restricting bars;
The moonlight teased
The pale and weakening skin,
And the fingers stretched farther
To try and grasp the rain.
Another cold chill
Rushes down Barty's spine
And the Dementor at his door
Steals his happiness again.
As he sinks to the floor,
The pale fingers retract.
He forgot why the rain had given him
Any brief delight.
It was only rain
And to try to touch it
Was a futile attempt.
A frail figure,
Whose life was almost gone,
Lay broken on the floor
Of his little cell in Azkaban.
His hands were dry and empty
Of the liquid hope falling outside.
His eyes were dull
And void of life.
The rain still hit
The stone outside,
But Barty was denied his wish
For Just One Drop.
That's all he asked for.
To feel the rain
Once more on his skin
And know that he
Was still alive.
Barty slipped his fingers
Through the metal bars
That covered the little window.
He couldn't reach the rain.
The hyena laughs
Of the mad and deranged
Never stop echoing
Around this god-forsaken place,
And the chill of the Dementors,
And the despair of the damned,
Hangs heavy in the air.

"HERMIONE!"
Hermione broke off from the kiss with Draco to stare into the horrified faces of her friends. She started blushing, her face heating up until she thought that it would fry right off her skull.
"Uh, hey, guys," she said in a total trying-to-be-casual voice. "What's up?"
Harry and Ron just stared at her in total shock. Ron's face was starting to resemble a beet, and Harry's face what getting as white as paper. His mouth was open, and Hermione had to stop herself from telling him to close it before a fly flew into it. The moment was just too tense for that sort of humor.
Draco was still standing behind her, a

Snape's Final Time With Lily
"Eight minutes," muttered Snape to himself. "I only have eight minutes to see her."
He was back in Spinner's End, in the grey gloom of the house where he grew up, five blocks away from where Lily Evans lived. But tomorrow, she would be Lily Potter.
Snape burst out of his house, running down the familiar streets of his childhood. They had not spoken to each other since they were both fifteen, but childhood instinct guided him to where Lily would be tonight. It was where she thirstily drank his knowledge of wands and dementors and wanted to learn more about her magical abilities. It was where they had spent long summer days together, leani

The 7th Years' Ball
*~*The 7th Years' Ball*~*
"Hermione, help!" a high strung female voice broke the silence that formerly reigned in the room. Hermione Granger, seventh year student and Head Girl at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, looked up from her Charms notes to see her good friend Ginny Weasley looking positively frantic.
"What is it, Gin? Did you forget about a Potions quiz again?"
"No, I- can we talk in private?" the younger girl's eyes were wild and wide.
"Just close the door," Hermione set her notes aside and made space next to her on the bed, "Now, what are you so upset about?"
"Well, you know how the End of Term Ball
