“I could feel my insides sink. My knees too. So I sat on the ground, against the wall, letting it support me. I thought I knew what heartbreak felt like.

“I’m thinking,” he said, following the flick of my tongue over my bottom lip, “that I look at you and feel like I’m dying. Like I can’t breathe.

Harry spun around. There, his black robes rippling in a cold breeze, stood Severus Snape.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
