The nightmares.
They never warn of you of the nightmares.
How while you've mentally left a battle field, theres still one in your mind.
Theres always one inside your mind.
They come like clockwork, a relentless tide that pulls me back into that moment, over and over again.
It starts with the familiar sounds, the chaos of curses slinging through the air, the crack of spells colliding, and the screams that I'll never be able to unhear.
I can almost feel the cold stone beneath my feet as I sprinted through the smoke and madness, gripping my wand tighter in my palm.
But it always ends in the same heart-stopping instant.
The gathering crowd, the whispers of disbelief, the way silence fell like a suffocating blanket.
Then, the sight of him.
Fred.
Freddy.
Forever smiling.
Lying there, not as I remembered him, how I wish I could remember him... but cold, lifeless, an absence where his vibrancy used to shine.
