After dinner Severus made his way out of the Great Hall, down the front steps of the castle, and off toward the lake. The events of the past week were playing over and over in Severus' head along with his greatest mistake that took place the previous year. He threw a few stones into the lake and watched the ripples until they dissipated then slowly meandered back in the direction of the castle. There was a flat boulder just off to the side of the steps with a few trees spaced around it. Severus slumped down under the shade of the trees, his palms resting on the cool stone.

I've lost my best friend, all because of this pureblood bollocks. Because I let it get to me and then I lashed out at the one person I loved. She hates me, and I've tried all I can to remedy the situation. Potter doesn't deserve her, that git.

This brings Severus' thoughts full circle to the incident from the incident the previous year and the downward spiral starts again until Severus hears someone walking toward the castle.
