This is my attempt at a collection of one shots. Hope you enjoy them, and if you have a specific request for a pairing, PM me, or leave it in a review, okay? There will be three shorts posted at once, so enjoy these ones before I write some more at late, ungodly hours of the night. Also, these stories are inspired by prompts from Hogwarts Online (even if they are old) and songs. So if you have a song request, tell me that too! Thanks :)

So there they lay amongst the smouldering ashes of what once was. And they are reduced to the black flakes of what could have been and what wasn't and what will never, ever be. Because no one can pick up the pieces of scorn and burn and what happened here.
But the powdery blackness is also tomorrow and yesterday and today. It was what was and what is and what they did, because sometimes that's all that really matters.
So from the remains of their ashes rises a little piece of them with a scar on his skin, a testament for the future; a choice, an answer, a burning flame of their bright white love.
Hope rises from the ashes, spreading its soft green wings in the blink of an eye and the innocent cry of a child who will have nothing and everything all at once.
That is the curse of hope; to always be tainted with ash.
