Green is the Colour...
Chapter 1
Regret
Liquid fire from the burning gash in his neck coursed through his veins, and he felt his lifeblood thickly flowing out onto the floor of the filthy shack where he had very nearly met his death once before.
Suddenly two vivid green orbs were staring down at him, and he drew in a rasping, gurgling breath of surprise. The boy. Her boy. Harry. Lily's boy, with Lily's eyes.
He must know. The boy must know, he thought, and concentrated his remaining energy on forcing the memories to flow out of himself. Memories of those emerald eyes, the way in which he had first encountered them, flowed out of him and he saw the boy understood what they were.
His hands scrabbled across the boy's shirtfront, gripping tightly, and he pulled him close.
"Take...it...Take...it
He could feel his lifeblood flowing out and away faster than he could push the memories from him, and a deep sense of sorrow flooded through him along with the encroaching darkness.
On the heels of that, panic and fear, and he struggled to hold on just a few more moments.
The boy must know!
He must!
"Look...at...me..."
Darkness began to swirl faster, and he knew it was too late. He looked once again to those green eyes, and with his last, silently beseeched the boy to somehow understand.
His hand slipped from the boy's shirt, thudding bonelessly to the floor. The darkness won the battle, carried him away, and with him, he took the memory of those luminous emerald eyes, and all his regret.
