.fabian prewett.

he goes down first. (he was never first- never)

.gideon prewett.

until that last curse hits him, he is invincible. (the heroes never died before the battle was won, after all)

.caradoc dearborn.

he isn't even fighting- just walking home from the pub one night. (there isn't a body to find after the werewolves are done with him)

.edgar bones.

bound to a chair in his youngest daughter's bedroom, edgar bones watches his family's annihilation and wishes he'd been less a hufflepuff. (right and wrong were clear, but not worth the price he paid)

.dorcas meadowes.

she spits on lord voldemort's robes before he kills her. (she never felt more confident than in the moment her life ended)

.benjy fenwick.

he says they'll have to tear him apart limb from limb before they get a damn thing out of him. (they did)

.marlene mckinnon.

the mark hanging over her parents house sends her over the edge and she takes out three of her family's murderers before they know what hits them. (she couldn't have survived alone)

.james potter.

oh god, they must have gotten peter. (his blind faith was always his greatest weakness)

.lily potter.

dying doesn't scare her. (leaving her little boy to a world without her to protect him? that fucking terrified her)

.peter pettigrew.

with a curse and a screamed lie, peter is gone. (he was dead, whether he knew it or not)

.sirius black.

fucking figures. (he knew he could never really escape his family)

.emmeline vance.

she's furious, and her attackers never forget the vicious way she fought. (she didn't come that far to be struck down by a curse from behind her, damn it)

.albus dumbledore.

and it all begins to fall into place. (he felt peaceful for the first time since he was nineteen)

.mad eye moody.

he doesn't see it coming. (damn the bastard who ruined his eye)

.wormtail.

his loyalty wavers and he knows this is better than he deserves. (he'd been dead for years, anyway)

.remus lupin.

he's finally got the will to live and it all slips away from him. (just his luck, really)

.nymphadora tonks.

she knows her son will understand. (she never would have been much of a mum, so maybe it's for the best)

.fred weasley.

the entire wall falls on him and realizes that the only thing more pathetic is getting killed by a curtain. (padfoot always was his idol)

.severus snape.

he wishes, in his last moment, that he was more of a slytherin. (but he left behind self preservation and can't make himself regret it)
