Alone

Pain.

Terrible, horrible, wonderful pain.

That's the only thing I can feel. Damn that Bellatrix! Damn me! If I hadn't been so confident, I could've evaded that spell.

I think I can hear something. Screaming. A man-child's voice, screaming. James? Harry? Is that you? Why are you shouting my name?

I see nothing, everything. A million shards of light and darkness. Blinding me, opening my eyes.

What's going on?

Am...am I dead? No way! I can't be! I just can't! It's impossible!

If I die, I won't see them anymore! Tonks's sweet face, Arthur's happiness, Molly's mothering, the twins's mischief...Ginny's kindness, Hermione's cleverness, Ron's grin...

Remus...

Harry...

Remus, Harry, please help me! Get me out of here! I don't care how, just do it! Please! I'm...I'm...

I'm...

I am...

...alone...
