Dance of Crimson

Aquila Harriet Potter Black felt giving up. Sometimes, she wondered why she survived even. It was supposed to be improbable to survive the killing curse once but she did. It was impossible to survive the killing curse twice but she did. And now, she was fleeing for her life across the borders of Magic.

It had taken her months to prepare for her journey but she was finally done. After the fall of the Dark Lord, she had basked in a sense of accomplishment and happiness. She was free at last from the maniac that had been after her life for forever. Free from her responsibilities, her duties. And then Rita Seeker ruined it all.

All she wanted was a nice quiet life preferably in the countryside to waste the rest of her days away basking in the noon-day sun or stuffing her nose into worm-eaten books. Was that too much to ask for after all she had done for Wizarding Britain? Apparently, it was.

"Potter! Potter! POTTER!" It was all she heard this days. Hunt down this dark object, capture that criminal, marry a pureblood- Couldn't they see that she had already given them her entire childhood? Why did she have to give them even more of her life? She was tired of this. The paparazzi, the media, the fans, the Wizagemot.

Together with the help of Hermione-bless her for all her foresight- Ron-who helped her ever so reluctantly, he didn't want to loose another person he considered family- and Luna- What would she ever do without her- She had gotten everything all together. Books on every subject one could think of, potions and their ingredients, parts of all the different plants-magical and non-magical for with magic you didn't need the seeds, any part of the plant would do, rare objects that would help her in the future. The list went on.

Aquila clutched the raven pendant in her hand tightly. She breathed in deeply and said the word that would change the rest of her life forever. There would be no going back afterwards. It was a one-way trip.

"Activate."

The world spun out of control and blended into a multitude of diverse colours before the girl-who-lived was heaved out of the dimensional gap and lay sprawled on the rocky forest ground.

Somewhere, a bird chirped in the distance.

Sunlight streamed through the leaves and caressed the girls's soft crimson tresses.

"Ou-Ouch."Aquila rubbed her head gently as she blinked her eyes several times for her vision to clear before standing up slowly to stare at her surroundings taking in the untainted form of nature. Was she free at last?

She pinched herself to be sure before chuckling. She was free! FREE! No more irritating busybodies or infatuated fans to contend herself with. No more expectations or duties. No more people calling her the next Dark Lady rising or calling her to take on arms and fight the so-called prejudice by ousting the purebloods from the unfair hierarchy or ridding the world of mudbloods and muggleborns.
