Moony
I was running… My heart was pounding in my chest and cold water was dripping from my body. I found a door at the end of the corridor and hastily opened it. I ran inside then quickly closed the door and sank to the floor.
I leaned up against the door and caught my breath, huffing and gasping. I thought about what I was running from….. or for. Was I running for life? Or was I running from a fight in which I would survive, or protect the ones I loved…. There were hardly any. Nymphadora, she was dead, as well as the marauders.
A silent tear ran down my cheek. To think about what we were was almost unbearable… I scrunched up my eyes then looked around.
Cobwebs were hanging in the corners and the floor was covered in a layer of dust. I could see where the water hit the floor, it was darker and shining. In the water, I saw a mirror. It was cracked and old. There were words carved in the frame. I looked up to see it thoroughly.
I could not make them out from where I was standing. So, I got up and slowly walked forward. The water was dripping from my coat and making splatter marks on the floor. I speed up, for I could see my reflection and a vague memory.
When I got closer, I looked in it. I saw the marauders, smiling. Everyone except for Peter was there. James and Sirius were clasping my shoulders, smiling. I whipped around to look about the room. No one was there. Then I just gazed at the mirror. Lily then appeared next to James. Her eyes shining like everyone else's.
A few tears ran down my cheeks, then more, and yet more again. I was silently sobbing on the floor. I looked up again, and my eyes beheld Nymphadora, my beautiful Nymphadora. She crouched down and hugged me in the mirror. In life, I felt cold and alone. But in heart, I was warm and alive.
I stood up, determined. I took one last fleeting glance at my best friend's sad faces before I raced out of the room.
How I missed them. But, I will fight in this battle for them. I will fight in this battle to protect my remaining loved ones. I will fight for the light, for the sake of light, friends, and family. I will survive, I will endure. Even if I die, I made my imprint on the world by the love I gave.
