A/N: Well it has been a long while people! I am very sorry for not posting for I don't even know how long. Kind of went off for a bit and now I'm back! Whknows was for how long this time. So I wrote a thingy and I hope you enjoy.

Note: This will ultimatel turn into a series of one shots I don't know how lowil that will take and how many chapters but keep your eyes open.

Summary: The Day They Died. Character deaths from HP. Because in the end even imaginary characters die imaginary deaths and we cry real tears.

The day Albus Dumbledore died many people fell.

Because he was Albus freaking Dumbledore, the leader, the hero the stuff of legend, who's name will be never be forgotten but who will never be remembered, well not really. So idolised, so worshipped by so many that he edged on divine.

But Albus Dumbledore would never admit to being even close to godliness, he counted his flaws on his fingers and toes ever since he was a little boy, but never told a soul about how scared he had been about the world. And so the world saw him as the mask he has created.

Because no one ever bothered to look beyond the first layer..

What people often seemed to forget was that he was human (kind of) too, and sometimes, for just a moment or two, Albus seemed to forget that too. But he wasn't invincible because the one thing that humans seem to do best, is die.

The people saw their great leader (literally) fall from grace (or from a building) and with his fall they would fall themselves, and see the downfall of their children reflected in those empty glassy eyes. So many tears would fall from so many downcast faces, from so many people who actually didn't even know the man at all but knew enough to know it was all over.

If only people could hope as much as they hated, and have faith as much as they cried..

But he was their messiah. He was supposed to save them, but he didn't. So then they realised that he couldn't be a god, because everyone knows that gravity doesn't work on gods and in that moment all hope stripped away and left them all naked, shivering, vulnerable. Albus Dumbledore had taken an imperfect world and made them think that everything was fine.

But it wasn't fine anymore.

Was it ever? Really? If you answered yes then you are right.

And when they saw his cold pale body the people fell to their knees and fell to the ground and just fell. Tears fell from eyes, and things fell from hands, and hearts just plummeted in chests when the news was heard. And people felt lost.

The one thing that didn't fall was the war.

And it was the one thing that they thought should have.

But come on people, when is life ever fair? Did Albus tell you it was? Because he was a lying liar and I'm sorry for ruining it..

So they were left all alone, the soldiers without a leader, without instruction, without orders, just fighters fighting for good. But now they didn't know what good was. And in the end they did fall... And fell hard..

Because the thing about falling is that it's so close to flying you some times can't tell the difference until its too late... Whoops!

The night of the fall was a night that no one would ever forget. Many fell crying, some fell laughing and others fell to never rise again. And others... others fell so much that they started to fly and they never really stopped, so they were trapped, somewhere between living and dying, between the sky and the ground, between falling and landing and one of these was Harry Potter, who ended up more alone then anyone after Dumbledore's time.

So if you were to ask Albus he would tell you that he didn't fall.. He soared... He just happened to soar rather rapidly towards the ground for some unknown reason. But then again he never seemed to need any reason to do anything and Dumbledore was one of those people who's reality blurred between a nightmare and a reality too awful to face.

But we know that Albus Dumbledore is a deluded old genius who had lost the plot as soon as he had gotten it and had too much faith put into him by too many people.

And in the end, he didn't fly, he fell.
