I had writer's block, started something new to try and fix it, and ended up with this. It's kind of short, but I like it. Let me know what you think.

I don't own Lily, James, Voldemort, Harry, or any other Harry Potter characters.


The Dagger

It seems like every time something horribly upsetting happens to me, a sharpened dagger is thrown into my heart. Each time, someone helps me remove it, and my heart heals. It is damaged, yes, but still it heals. I know that one day, it will all prove to be too much, and my bruised heart will be destroyed.

The day that I first felt the dagger to my heart came when I was sixteen. My best friend in the world called me a Mudblood, and after I was out of sight from everyone, I broke down crying in the Forbidden Forest until Mary McDonald brought me back up to the common room.

The next time I really felt the dagger was when I was seventeen. Petunia wrote me saying I was disinvited to her wedding and that she hated me. Again, I broke down crying in the Forbidden Forest, until Remus Lupin brought me inside.

When I was eighteen, James and I had our first fight as a couple. Night fell on me crying in the Forest when he found me. We made up, and together we went inside.

At nineteen, my parents were killed three days before I was going to be married in one of Voldemort's mass attacks on Muggles, and I wasn't able to invite them to my wedding. James held me as I broke down crying.

At twenty, I had Harry, and I heard the prophecy stating that Voldemort wanted to kill him. This time, the dagger was made of melted, red-hot steel and thrown into me with the force of a raging flood. James and I held Harry while we cried.

Now Voldemort has come, and I knew that James is dead and Harry is going next. I know that there is nothing I can do to change it. I feel the dagger crash all the way through my heart and rip it to pieces. And there is no one to help me to pull it out.

Everyone thinks that it was the Avada Kedavra that killed me. But I know for a fact that it was the dagger.


Like I said, short. But I hope you still liked it! Please review.
