She was standing amidst the rubble that was once her school.
Once upon a time it had been a strong structure.
Now it was a pile of dust, rocks, and…death.
Oh Albus! She thought, what do I do?
Her greatest love had been dead for over a year now but she still missed him dearly.
Flashback
She was at the top of the astronomy tower.
It was cold. She was fighting Bellatrix Lestrange and Albus was fighting the dark lord-Voldemort.
They were fighting under the Dark Mark for Potters godfather – Sirius Black – had been felled by another death eater that Potter had not hesitated to kill afterwards. Severus had drugged the grief-driven boy and taken him to his own office to have a lie down.
She screeched in pain as Lestranges cruciatis curse flowed openly through her veins and engulfed her.
"Minerva!" Albus screamed, forgetting all about the dark lord for a second to long.
Tom Riddle's killing curse had hit him head on in the chest and he had flown back. Off the astronomy tower and into gaping darkness.
The two most evil life forms in all galactic universes fled, leaving her to succumb to death.
End Flashback
None other than our very own Percy Weasly had felled Potter a week later.
Then Molly Weasly had tried to kill herself not wanting to believe it. Ginny had called upon a certain Neville Longbottom to comfort herself.
Granger and Weasly had not given in. They had remained with the order.
Last night the school in which Albus had bestowed his trust to her had been brought to the ground.
Suddenly she screamed in frustration and fell to her knees, only to jump up in disgust as she had landed on the newly dead Dennis Creevy.
Then she saw something that made her heart stop. Albus's tomb. With a lightning bolt crack running up the top.
She moved over to the memorial gravely, fearing what was inside. Slowly she pushed the lid back.
Albus was now pale as snow. A look of final peace on his face.
Suddenly, she knew what she must do.
She would avenge him. He deserved it. To her, nothing was more fitting.
"You will be avenged Albus, rest well." She whispered into the dawn.
She drew herself up to her full height. "I, Minerva Athena Mcgonnagle
swear to bring revenge down on he who felled the greatest sorcerer of all time Albus Percival Wolfrick Brian Dumbledore."
She began to move towards the gate.
Before dis-apparaing into Ebony nothingness she whispered "You can run, but you can't hide. Tom Marvolo Riddle, from this second on, you are a dead man."
