"I'm not sure how I can go on any longer Severus. I don't know how to just see you as a friend."
"You have to Y/N. There's no other option. No matter how badly we want it."

A story of how Sever...
I stayed in the hospital wing for the next few days. Pomfrey completely healed my knee so I don't need the cane anymore (thank god), and she fixed all my bruises. Basically fixed everything physically. I only wish she could fix me mentally too. One can only hope.
I woke up the last day in the hospital wing, and I am sort of nervous of leaving here. Even though I do know that I don't have to worry about Lockhart. Dumbledore came see me the second day to check up on me, and to inform me that Lockhart had been fired. As result of that, Severus will be taking his classes so nothing is overbearing me. I hated that, but at least I never had to deal with Lockhart again. I try not think about that day, as I have panic attacks when I do think about it. The main thing that's been on my mind is Severus, and what he told me.
The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt for being so mean to him. He probably had been pushing me away because he knew he wasn't being fully honest with me, and I guess that's a plus. But at the same time, why even play with my feelings like that. I just need to get out of this hospital wing and back to normalcy.
I got up and got changed, it was Friday afternoon, after supper and everyone was out of the halls. I got up and got dressed. So incredibly nice being able to walk properly. My hair was down and a little messy, and I wore a tan sweatshirt with a white skirts and my brown loafers.

As I finished changing and whatnot, I grabbed my wand and put it away. I went thank Madam Pomfrey with a hug and many many thanks, and I was off. I began walking through the halls, breathing in the air that filled the castle. It was still chilly outside so I could smell fire from a fireplace, parchment, and leather. It was my home, and I knew no matter what, nothing can keep me away from my home. I smiled a little at being free again, away from the hospital wing. I didn't have to worry about Lockhart popping up and confronting me. I only had to worry about Severus, but I didn't want those thoughts staying around too long.
When I made my way down to the dungeons, I turned the corner and looked at Severus's door and stood there for a split second, then proceeded to walk to my room. But where the closet door used to be, was completely gone. It was just a solid wall. Nothing more. Nothing less. I was sort of grateful for whoever did this, as I would've had to pass it everyday, multiple times, and would be reminded of that day constantly.
I made it inside my room and khaleesi came scream meowing at me as she missed me. "Hi my love. I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Let's get you fed more." I said while petting her and walking to her bowl, only to realize that it looked like she was just fed. She also had water. Her treat bag was moved slightly, like someone moved it.
Someone must've come taken care of Khaleesi while I was gone. Probably Minerva. I made a mental note to thank her next time I saw her. I wanted to get back to as normal of my regular schedule as possible, so I went turn on my record player, lit some candles, and began singing along to some songs. Pet khaleesi as I sang and she kept rubbing on my legs as I walked around. We truly do take it for granted that we walk normally. You don't realized how much you rely on your legs until you can't use one properly. I did this for about 2o minutes and I heard a knock on my door. I expected Minerva to come and check on me once I got back to my room, but when I opened the door, my eyes met a black silhouette.
