Chapter 1: Deces D'un Ami (Death of a Friend)
Tears stung my eyes as I looked at my surroundings. Why had it come to this? I struggled to get up, trying my best not to wince. It hurt, everything hurt. The person that I trusted the most had caused this. All of this.
"Amaya?" a voice called out, disrupting the still silence. I looked to my right and gasped in horror. Lying there was Harry Potter, the savior of the Wizarding World, broken like a doll. Injuries marred his face. Ignoring my many injuries, I crawled over to him.
"Harry, are you okay?" I asked. It was a stupid question, I knew that. Sadly, expressing my concern was the only thing I could do. Guilt flooded my very being. It was my fault. This catastrophe could've been avoided. I should have done something. But what could I have done really? She was my best friend. I wanted to keep believing in her.
"Oh my dear friend, are you okay? I didn't hurt you so bad did I?" her words were sickly sweet. Every bone in my body was sore and defeated. I just couldn't stand the sight of her any longer. The one that I cared for, and loved. How can it end like this? I looked down at the boy who lived, that boy who was so strong. Now, so fragile and decrepit. The boy whom I love, I may never see him again.
"How could you? Why? After all we been through, this is how you want to end it?"
"Please, you were nothing but a figure filled with envy. You never really cared about me. You just didn't want me to hurt your precious Harry Potter," she spoke the name with great distaste.
"You know that's not true! We were like sisters! I cared for you and you know it!" My screams filled with ire. I lost her, the Veena that I was once fond of. This pain of losing someone isn't a new feeling. Tears dripped down my face when I realized that I'll never see the old her again. Veena, then Harry. Just like when I lost the one who taught me, the one who taught Veena and I everything we knew. We loved her so, just like a mother…Sypes Lamara.
"She's gone, it's done. We lost her!"
"What are we going to do? How can they just come and kill her like this? How did she know they were going to come? Why did she give us this letter? I am not going to go to some stupid school and have them teach us. I will only listen to Lamara and no one else!" By this point tears have found their way flowing down my face.
"We have no choice Amaya. We must do as she wished."
"I don't understand. This isn't happening! This isn't real!" As I looked up beyond the rain, they had come back! The death eaters! Their going to take Veena with them! No! I won't let that happen! No!
"Amaya, are you okay?" I heard a soft familiar voice from above me. It was all a dream – a nightmare! Every night I would have the same exact stargaze. I will never be able to forget that night. I looked up and there was Veena. My dear friend that I can't live without.
"Hey Veena, I'm fine. Just had a weird dream that's all."
"You have one every night! You should probably get that checked out." I laughed at the stupidity of her.
"You're unbelievable." I got up and looked out the window. Fields, fields, and nothing but fields. We're going to Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
