Last Breath
Why have you all come?
Have you come to see me?
Did you come to see the defeat of your dreaded Lord Voldemort?
There he is. Over there. I did kill him in the end. But he hit me too. And, oh, it hurts so much…
Do I know you? Do you know me? I'm your Great Saviour.
Have you come to see your Great Saviour die?
Why are you crying? Don't cry. I don't want you to cry for me, people I don't know.
Don't worry. The pain is fading now. And, I find that I do know you after all. And you know me.
All of you kneeling around me…watching me so….sadly.
Don't be sad. The pain's gone now. Won't you help me up? The pain's gone and I think I'm fine again.
Please smile. Don't cry again. Please don't. I meant for it to stop, not get worse.
Look at you all, Hermione, Ron, Remus…even the twins and Ginny…you're all here. For me. That makes me very happy.
Am I dreaming? I must be because I can see Cedric, just behind you … and … and … Sirius! Sirius as well! Have you come to see me too? It must be my lucky day…
Hey…hey, where did you go? Where are you? I can't see you anymore! Not Ron or Hermione…not even Sirius! Where are you? Please don't go away! Don't leave me alone…
Oh wait, I can hear you…you're calling me! I can hear you call my name!
Harry…Harry, come back…don't leave…But I'm not going anywhere, am I?
Everything's going quiet now…I can barely hear you…
Harry…I'm so tired…
Harry…Maybe I'll rest for a while…just a little bit…
Goodbye, Harry.
I can feel a breeze. And there's a smell of…flowers…sweet flowers…
Where am I?
Are my eyes open? Let me see…
I can see again! Only…only everyone's gone…where are they? Are they hiding?
What is this place? There are so many flowers…
I can stand again…and walk…and run! I can run…
And my voice…oh, it feels so good to be able to shout again…uh oh.
I think I disturbed someone. I think I'm in someone's garden and I just disturbed them by yelling too loud. Oops.
I can hear the door open. Should I run for it? What if they catch me anyway? And there's nowhere to hide…
I think the garden gate just opened…too late…I'm caught.
Maybe if I apologise they'll—oh my God.
Oh my God.
This…this isn't happening…that's not her…it can't be…but….she looks so much like….
Am I in heaven at last?
She's coming closer…she's smiling at me…and holding out her arms…
And I'm running and all of a sudden…I'm there…I'm hugging the one person I longed for most in this world…or that one, technically…
And all the while, I can't stop my tears falling and I can feel hers as well…
"Mum…"
So please tell me if you liked it…and for those of you who read 'Better Times', I'm thinking of doing a kinda sorta sequel…what do you think?
