[Prologue]

✭

When Lily Potter saw her greatest enemy fall, defeated, she felt her heart beating with happiness. People ran to her, she recognized Ron's similar red hair to hers, Hermione's bushy hair and their voices. She couldn't help but smile victoriously as many people hugged her or clapped or ruffled her already very messy hair.

But her emerald-green eyes were searching for only one person in the crowd and as minutes passed she began to worry.

She didn't even realize that Bill and Charlie Weasley walked into the Great Hall carrying a corpse.

As Lily got closer, her eyes grew wide, her mouth fell open, but she couldn't scream, nor say anything.

She felt Hermione hugging her from behind, sobbing in her hair, but Lily's tears didn't fall even if they weren't that far from covering her pale cheeks.

Mrs. Weasley rushed to her boys and a silent scream left her mouth before she began crying.

William Weasley was dead. Will, the love of her life was lifeless in the arms of his brothers.

Lily felt Ron run past her, as his twin he would be the most affected one, but Lily felt even more heartbroken than ever; too many people died on her.

She couldn't bring herself to say comforting words to Mrs. Weasley or Ron, she knew she would cry, even harder than them.

'Lils,' Hermione muttered behind her and she turned around, collapsing in the arms of her best friend.

'No, no, this can't be happening,' her voice came weak and the tears finally fell, warm against Lily's skin.

'I'm sorry,' the bushy haired girl managed to say between Lily's sobs, but couldn't meet her eyes; she almost knew how her best friend felt.

The whole Great Hall was silent, some mourning the ones the've lost, some feeling Lily's pain. A pair of grey-eyes watched the redhead crying; Draco felt only pity and regret for her in that moment, nothing else mattered.

And as they all stood there, hearing McGonagall's speech, Lily thought she would never be whole again.
