Final Destination
Harry Potter, General/"Parody" (K+)
Every day of my life has led me to here. I wonder if there was any other option.
I'm a Doctor Who fan, honestly.
When I was younger, it was the only thing Dudley and I both agreed to keep secret from his parents (since there is no way that Vernon Dursley would allow something as "unnatural" as Doctor Who in his house). We'd watch the reruns on the television quietly late at night.
The Doctor was who Dudley and I bonded over. Beyond that, we had nothing in common.
"Time is not a straight line. It's more this ball of timey wimey stuff."
I like to think that that's true. Wizards wouldn't think much of the Doctor's wisdom since the Doctor isn't a wizard. But what if he's right and time is just a tangle of what can be taken apart and put back together. What if time is full of so many possibilities that we cannot possibly know the outcome of any timeline?
But as I stand here, watching the halves of the Elder Wand fall into the lake with Ron and Hermione beside me, was my destiny set in stone?
Did it have to be me who killed Voldemort? No.
Did Voldemort even have to come into existence? No.
Did my parents have to die? No.
All our decisions make up what happen to us in the future.
Merope Gaunt wed and divorced Tom Riddle Sr. Tom Riddle Jr. was born. Voldemort came into existence. He killed my parents. He chose me, tried to kill me, and I became his executioner.
But I wonder how things had happened if they were different.
What would have happened if Merope didn't wed Riddle, would her child still have been psychopathic?
I guess we'll never know beyond our own strand in time's mass of timey wimey stuff.
