"I want you to understand something, Harry...James loved Lily. He truly did love you and your mother. But what Astrid and James had was more than just love. It was all things above love. It was a sacrifice. It was putting each other first. It was more than just love for them. They were each other's motivation to keep going in life. Astrid kept James alive, even after she died. They were each other's reason to breathe." I do not own any of the ideas or characters from the Harry Potter franchise. All I own is Astrid Nova Black and her storyline. Trigger Warnings: may include scenes and descriptions of panic attacks, murders, and other sensitive topics.
