Hermione called, but he didn’t answer. A trail of blood led from his desk into his bedroom. Alarmed, she found Severus holding a towel to his hand.

Hermione sat beside him. “We’ve done that a lot, haven’t we?” she whispered. “Lots of little cuts.”
“Why are we hurting ourselves?” he rasped.
Hermione sighed, and leaned on his shoulder. He leaned back. “I suppose we do it before the other has a chance to cut first.”
“I don’t want to bleed anymore.”
“Me neither.”
