WARNINGS: ANGST
Song: Skinny Love- Birdy
'That's the funny thing about destiny, it happens whether you planned it or not'
"Just how it brought us together, love" Harry spoke peacefully, our legs entangled as he played with my hair,our faces merely inches apart. He stared at me with such love that I almost thought it would last forever.
Almost
Cedric's death affected all of Hogwarts, but it hurt me a significantly larger amount. He was my best friend, the only one I could confide in, the one I went to for everything. Despite me being 2 years younger we were practically inseparable.I fell into a depression and cut myself off. Many fellow classmates had pity when they saw the lonely girl walking by herself, silently observing and many tried to reach out to the empty mess. However, Harry didn't seem to follow by shortly breaking up with her at the start of fifth year.
He said I was becoming too distant. He didn't need to lie.
I knew he was pining for Cho. It hurt. it hurt even more knowing he would just leave so willingly in my time of need, leaving me to drop even deeper into the dark, swirling abyss of my mind.I was in a D.A meeting. And, per usual, Harry ignored me, not even acknowledging my successful patronus form, a lynx. The meeting had finished and I was just about to exit when I realised I had left my potions book it the room. As I walked back in. My blood ran cold.
Harry and Cho.
Kissing.
It broke my heart seeing them together. Knowing how badly our breakup affected me and yet it looked like he didn't even give a shit about our relationship. "But that's just it," I thought sourly," he's bloody Harry Potter, the chose one, complete and utter masterpiece to the girls. I was so naïve, thinking he could even care about what we were." But it still pained me, seeing them like this. I began to feel a lump form in my throat and I could feel tears brimming in my eyes, threatening to spill over the cold, stone floor.
Without even retrieving my book, I ran out of the room, down to my common room. I began to bawl my eyes out, sobbing into the late hours of the night. I cried till there were no tears left. I made my way up to the astronomy tower, the only place I could ever clear my thoughts and feel truly at home. My nose inhaled the fresh of the air as I sighed, what happened to me? I used to be known as the most bubbly, pure-hearted girl in our year. Now, I can barely smile at someone passing by.The teachers, apart from Snape, all give me pitying looks at least once in their classes.
It's funny how things change, Isn't it? I gave a pained laugh.
Suddenly the hatch opened, revealing a certain blonde Ravenclaw. "Luna?" I asked sobbing,trying to cover my eyes, red and puffy. She looked at me with a look of sadness. " Come On, I know you better than this. What's wrong?" That's the moment I completely lost it. I became I broken mess. Shaking and sobbing. Luna slowly approached me and took me in her arms, giving me a feeling of protection. I told her everything, Cedric being my best friend, how Harry had left when I needed him most and how only hours before, I'd caught him and Cho kissing. She looked at me with a wistful gaze.
" I can sense you don't like the pitying looks they give you, I can see you're slowly breaking inside Y/N and I want to help. I may be no Cedric but I hope you can confide in me."
I hugged her, this was the first real friend
I've had since Cedric and only proper conversation apart from the 'are you ok?'s' in the corridors or the 'how you holding up?' It Was actually quite refreshing really and for the first time in a year, I felt hope.(2 YEARS LATER)
Dumbledore has been killed, Hogwarts is no longer safe,I am on the run. Ever since I casted a curse at Bellatrix, the new ministry has ranked me as wanted. I occasionally can be found graffiti from On death eaters houses, writing things like ' PUREBLOODED SCUM ARE THE REAL MUD BLOODED!' or ' ALL HAIL THE FUCKING NO NOSED SAVIOUR!'
Sometimes even forming mini attack's on ministry officials coming to harm muggleborns. Of course, like the previous ministry, successful attack's are being covered up as they try to find me. They'll never be able to catch me. Just they stop me.
I camp off in the woods, practically hunting like and animal, casting protections around a small camp I've created. I keep a radio with me, updating with Potterwatch every evening just to know there's some hope left in this cruel society.HARRY'S POV
(3 MONTHS AFTER THE BATTLE OF HOGWARTS)
I walked into the dark, wading through the long grass. I sat on a Creaky wooden bench, grabbing my wand from my pocket, muttering an incantation.
" Expecto Patronum."
A silver animal shot out the end of my wand, running around my head, leaving a trail of white behind it.A lynx
Just like yours used to be
I smiled weakly, recalling the sweet memories.
See,when me, Hermione and Ron went looking for the horcruxes, I came across you're graffiti more than once, smiling. I knew it was you writing all of this, you were so witty, that's why I loved you and before I even knew it, I was falling back in love with you, regretting ever leaving you.
I drifted out of my thoughts Once the creature disappeared into the air. I Got up and began to walk to the familiar location, hanging my head low.
When I rescued Luna, I told her how hopelessly in love with you I was again. "You really hurt her you know, leaving when she needed you most. When she saw you and Cho kissing, she was so heartbroken. I could see how broken she was inside just by staring into her wistful (E/C) eyes ." Hearing how much I hurt you broke me and I promised myself when this was all over, I would confess my love to you and maybe even propose.
But that's the thing.
You'd fought courageously in the battle. You, the woman I'd fallen hopelessly in love with, just by looking at your face and the scars visible in your eyes, I could tell you were no longer a child anymore. You fought Death Eaters off Colin, who'd snuck back into the castle to fight. You'd fought so valiantly. That's when Bellatrix spotted you, the girl who'd cursed her merely a year before, the one who'd graffiti on the walls, the one staged ministry attacks.
I ran..
I ran to you.
.
I almost made it.
.
But it was too late.
"Avada Kedavra."
"NO!!" I screamed.
The curse had gotten you in a matter of seconds, you're once beautiful, life filled eyes turned grey and lifeless.A peaceful expression left in your face.I weeped over your body. Why does the universe hate me! I just figured out I loved you! The war around me no longer mattered, only the fact that I had lost you, before I told you I loved you.
"Harry!" Hermione yelled. That snapped me back to reality. Bell attic sat laughing at the dead corpse in front of her.
" This is for (Y/N) you bitch! Cruci-!"
Ron yelled at me to stop.
" Is this what (Y/N) would've wanted?"
That's when I vowed to myself. I would win this war, for you.Now I lie in front of a cold, grey slab of stone.
'Here lies Y/N L/N,
A friend of many,
A sister to three,
A daughter to two,
A fighter for the whole wizard community,
A lover to one.
A soul remembered for eternity.I stare at your grave, empty. I'm empty. I still don't want to believe it. How could that be you're destiny?
But that's just it, I laughed bitterly.
'That's the funny thing about destiny,it happens whether you planned it or not.'tl
