Spring rainIt was when the spring rain came. I had known about it for a while already, but hadn’t wanted to admit it to myself. It was hard to say what the last nail to the coffin was. Maybe the endless fights, or the way Potter finally smiled to her? It didn’t really matter. Except to me.
I thought about it a lot. Was it my fault? Even though Draco and Pansy told me all the time that love isn’t something you can control. Maybe I should have let her decorate with blue, though I have always hated that colour. Maybe I should have learned how to drink stronger coffee, because that was the way she wanted it. Or maybe I just should have been better. Happier. More worthy of her.
So it was then that she came to me and said she didn’t love me anymore. That she had someone else. Someone better, happier and more worthy of her. If this is what love is like, I don’t want to fall for anyone anymore. It hurts too much.
There are just a few positive things about it. I’ve noticed that blue is now my favourite colour, how good very strong coffee is and how perfect my time with her really was. If I close my eyes, I can almost smell her strawberry hair, feel the touch of her ivory skin and remember the ringing tone of her laugh.
But I hate spring rain. And I always will.

It was almost a year later when I saw her again. Her hair was still as red as ever and her eyes the same shade of brown. Very warm, but not hazel. When I realized it was her, I tried to turn away. She was faster.
- Hey! Blaise, over here!
I turned around to face her.
- Hi, I murmured.
- Long time, no see.
- Yeah, I confirmed.
- You look great! That hairstyle really dresses you!
- Thanks.
I didn’t mention that my hair was long because I spent all my time in my apartment. I was sure that I would start to mildew sooner or later.
- So, how are you?
- Fine, fine, nothing special going on right now. And you?
I tried to be polite and not to think about how I missed her at the same time. It was hard.
- Well, Harry and I got engaged.
Shock punched through me and I gasped.
- Uh oh…
It was all I managed to get out.
- Yeah, I know. Pretty big step, but I’m ready to take it with him, she smiled.
- You said ‘no’ to me, you said it was too much for you.
- It was. At the time.
- What happened?
- Time happened. I woke up one morning and I just knew.
- Knew what?
- What I was never sure of with you.
***
A couple of months later, when the first lilacs were just about to bloom, the postman handed me an envelope. Their wedding would be on July 16th, two months from that day. The small glimpse of hope disappeared.
Outside, it started to rain again.
