There is bloody poetry scratched on your arms, and you're held screaming underwater as the shadows wind through your ribs and choke you. Why can't you go back to how things were? Weren't you happier then? But you're left, lost, in vast nothingness, searching for mythical happiness that you're not sure ever existed. / In which Cho Chang has depression/
All you want to do is to stop feeling like you're drowning -drowning in blood, water, words, stares, yourself- but there are shadows that pry your eyes open at night and a group of sort-of-friends more broken than you are who can only try to fix you.

And can she avoid being driven insane by the annoying but sadly attractive Severus Snape?
The best way to win someone back is by putting on a red, sexy dress. But sometimes, even that's not going to work.
They are two broken souls that somehow, have made each other whole together. Both penniless, friendless, alone. He has her, and she him, and that is all they ever wanted. * A One-Shot Collection of the Love Variety :) DRASTORIA, PANPHE
