Starlight

It was them or me. My friends or me. I choose me. I couldn't risk them. Please not them. That choice cost me my parents, though. I can never go back, I can never tell them what happened. I have to pretend, but that never lasts. They always find out. I don't think they'll ever forgive me. How could they, after I faked my own death to escape reality?

"I remember being so excited to go to Hogwarts and get sorted into either Gryffindor or Slytherin. I want that back.
I want my parents back.
4 years later, and I still carry the burden of being the reason that my parents are dead. 4 years later, and my uncle still sees his baby sister in me-his baby Gen.
I have to carry that with me.
My parents are dead because I was a coward. Because I was weak. "
