A Worthy Wish
Prologue
The group of teens in Gryffindor tower all looked at each other. They knew that this was probably the last time in a long while that they all looked at each other like this, with this much understanding, with this much care and friendship.
All they could hope for was that their lives played out as the book prophesised and that the eleven-year-old boy whom they all placed their hopes in would live and walk as their living legacy. They didn't know what would happen once they placed the book back in the centre of the table, but they were pretty sure that it would disappear along with all their memories of it.
Lily turned to James with a painful expression but nodded once as to encourage him and convey in the simple nod that she appreciated what he was about to do, that she accepted it. She understood that if she let him do this that she would be married to him even though all she now wanted was friendship, that they would both leave behind a mistreated orphan, but she had to let him. They had to allow the future to unfold itself, to let it move itself in its own posture, to let her live the amount of happiness she deserved, not any more or any less.
Sirius turned to Marlene before giving her proper kiss, which Marlene returned passionately. They both broke it quickly as though they didn't want their feelings to grow too fast. Even though their relationship wasn't guaranteed by the book, they still hoped that each of them would come into realisation.
Remus was silent and weary eyed. No one noticed that he was upset as his eyes were too concealed. He was happy for his friends of course but he still felt like fate had deprived him of something great.
Just as James placed the book at the centre of the table with one hand on Lily's a blinding red light flashed through the room.
