Harry sat by the window sill, crying. Tear stains streaked his pale cheeks. His emerald eyes were bloodshot. He was crying because of love.

Everything he did he did it with love.

Yet his ultimate downfall was love.

Severus stood in the shadows, heart twinging painfully with every whimper Harry made. Oh, how he longed to hold him and tell him everything would be alright when tomorrow came?

Before he knew it, he had lifted his hand, as if to wipe those tears away. He froze, before forcefully pulling his hand back. He sighed softly.

Unknown to him, Harry had heard that. He knew he was there, and his heart hurt even more. Severus still wouldn't love him openly, and for that, he cried once more.

When Severus turned to walk away, Harry was gone. The dark figure rushed to the open window and looked out. A pained shout came from him before he could help it. There Harry was, lying on the ground, seven floors down. He looked sad.

And to think it was all because of love.
