Prologue
Life is all about the moments. Or that's what she was thinking right now, in this moment.
Sometimes life can change in a flash. Sometimes life will feel like it's slow. Sometimes moments take your breath away. Sometimes there are bad moments that you will remember for the rest of your life. Point of her thoughts, life was all about the moments. In this moment of her life, she was happy. Or can someone truly feel happy? She didn't act like she knew everything there is to know about life but she liked to reason why she was currently wondering if someone is allowed to be truly happy is because of the situation she was currently in. How did she get herself in this situation? For falling in love? For being happy? For trying to keep her head down and mind her own business? She couldn't decide which one it was. Whatever the answer was, she was still in this situation.
The person who got her into this situation asked her, "Would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for the ones you love?" She pondered the question. She didn't want to answer unless she had the correct one. So she was currently wondering what her answer would be. When did sacrifices have to become so difficult? When you're a baby, everything is easy. You sacrifice a pacifier (or binky), a bottle, a "blanky" and a diaper. When you're hungry, you cry. When you have a soiled diaper, or when you're sleepy, or when you're thirsty, you cry. When you grow older, everything changes. When you're going through a problem, how do you ask for help? You can't just cry and expect people to cater to your every need. And what if you do ask for help and people turn you away. They reject your need for help. What then? Yes, when did life get so difficult?Sacrifices also become more difficult. You sacrifice your happiness for someone else that needs more happiness than you. Whichever situation you find yourself in, the sacrifices are harder to choose.
After really thinking about the question, her answer would be yes. Yes, she would sacrifice herself for the ones she loved. The answer would always be yes. Her answer was going to hurt the people she loves, but if they really knew the question she was asked, they would never understand until they themselves were put in a situation like this. It's funny how life works. One person is given a difficult question and they give an answer, but the people they love will not like that answer. Then the people they love will be put in a situation like this and they give the same answer, but people will still not like it. She felt like laughing humourlessly at everything right now. That wouldn't solve anything though.
How is she supposed to get out of this situation? How can she walk away without a scratch? She couldn't. She had to sacrifice herself so the people she loved will be safe. That's the only thing she could hope for right now, their safety. As she stretched out her arms to wait for the inevitable, she was thinking about her life and the things she managed to accomplish. Like a closer bond with her parent's (even though teens are supposed to loathe their parents), making amends to the mistakes she made with her brother, having best friends for life, graduating from high school (or close to graduating), having a career goal set in mind and having the best family a person could ask for, the Weasley's, Potter's, Lovegood's, Longbottom's and various others that she couldn't think of quick enough.
What is considered living a fulfilled life? What if someone were to be a doctor? Is that considered a fulfilled life? Having no time for anyone or anything in college because they are too busy studying. Even after college, having no time for anyone or anything because they are so busy working. Are the accomplishments considered living a fulfilled life? Or the moments? Who decides? In the end, it's the person who's wondering about it that decides. No one else can decide what a fulfilled life is except they themselves. So, yes, she felt like she lived a fulfilled life. So far.
She wished she could have lived a longer life; to have kids and grandchildren, watch them grow; grow old with someone she loves; she didn't expect to change the world, but she hoped to make a small difference; and have a career as a powerful, yet helpful woman. She couldn't have those wishes right now though. It wasn't what the fates decided for her. Why did fate have to deal such cruel hands to people? She wouldn't want that kind of job, having to make difficult decisions. Fate wasn't a job to someone though.
The last two things that she would remember before darkness engulfed her would be a flash of green light and the two most dangerous words in the Wizarding World: Avada Kedavra.
Next time on His Gryffindor Minx: it's back to school for all the 7th years. some of which include Albus, Azalea, Scorpius, Rose, Kianna, Mimi and many others. what will their last year in school have in store for them? will they get through the school year unscathed? we'll have to wait and see. stay tuned because this year will be a roller coaster ride for them.
O.o
