"No! No!" Yelled out Harry the seconds the girl's body collapsed to the floor. He ran towards her without a beat, he dropped onto his knees pulling her closer to his chest. He fixed her hair and brought her cheeks closer to his.

"No. No. No" he rocked her back and forth slowly as he let out silent cries. "My lord!" Screamed Bellatrix. "You did this!" She yelled out as she faced the boy.
"You will pay for this!"
"Stop. Don't. Leave him alone!" Yelled out Narcissa coming in front of Lestrange. "You dare stop me?!"

"Enough! The boy has suffered enough! She's dead. The lord is not." Said Narcissa, tears in her eyes. Bellatrix turned her gaze back and forth between the boy and the woman.

She turned her back on them and tried to wake up the Lord once again, Cissa let out a huge sigh turned her attention to the boy, and walked over.

Regulus stared astonished, he stood in the same not moving an inch. He didn't know what to think in that instant, it wasn't supposed to be this way, he looked down at his shoes and back to Potter.

"Harry.." Cissa crouched down to the boy gently placing her hand over his shoulder. "Don't" he shook off her arm.
He gently pecked her lips, kissing every corner of her face as well, he wanted to hold her for as long as he could.

"I didn't know. How could I be so stupid? I should've seen the signs, it was right in front of me" he whispered. " The way she wouldn't eat and I begged her to, her cold hands, her pale hands, she was skinnier but yet I believed it was because of stress." He let out a laugh.

"Stress. Huh? This wasn't supposed to happen. We were supposed to grow old together. Have kids and grandkids. We would live far away from here in peace. Now that's all gone." He turned to face the now silent weeping woman.

"I can't live without her" he broke down once again. "She's everything to me and now she's gone just like that and yet he still lives" he turned around to face Voldemort who now seemed to wake up from his unconsciousness.

"He's alive." Narcissa swung her head in rapid motion towards the boy. "She couldn't let him burn in the fire, although I can't say the same thing" he carefully stood up picking the girl's bridal style.

"What? What has happened?" Asked the Lord now standing up. "Th-e the girl?" He asked he was frightened by his thinking he hoped everything was all a dream. A dream where the boy was long gone and the girl forever lived by his side.

"She's dead" answered Regulus no expression whatsoever, he didn't know what to think. Just like what Harry once said, this was not supposed to happen. "We must show our faces. There's no hiding what has happened here" said Voldemort as he took a step closer to the boy.

"She is long gone. She will never walk on this earth again, I've failed you." Said Voldemort turning around to face his followers who all gazed down at the ground. "Now you must be more fearful of those who don't follow you or me. We must take everything back now"

"Let him go." He turned to Hagrid, no word whatsoever able to explain what he was feeling right now. He grew goosebumps over his gigantic body, a look of death smeared across his face.

What he had just witnessed right now would forever scar his life, he would never be the same person ever again. He slowly stood up, the ropes around his hands unwrapping themself and falling to the ground. He was free to go home, he had learned a lesson but yet he didn't know where to go.

He was lost, and maybe forever will be. He looked at Harry and hugged the boy once he was within reach. "I'm so sorry kid. Really- I'm so sorry. She was a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart, she will always be here" he apologized.
