A/N Ok, this is my first ever one-shot, and it'll take all of about 30seconds to read! lol

Seeing as it's so short, you'll have spare time to review eh? lol Please let me know what you think!


I watched as he met the mortal Riddle, at just one year old. He cheated me.

I was glad.

I watched as he risked himself, over and over, to save others from me.

I thought he feared me.

I watched, as time and time again he looked me in the face, and refused to give in.

I realised I was wrong.

I watched, as he walked towards me that fateful night, of his own accord.

He was not fearless, far from it, but he was master of that fear.

And I felt proud, though I had no right to be.

That night he looked me in the face, and accepted me.

I am immortal, ever-lasting, an innevitable occurance for everyone and everything. But he made me feel like a small child.

That night, he finally succumbed to me, at the hands of the mortal, Riddle.

He was given a choice.

He chose not to return.

He chose instead to embrace me, to leave behind all he had suffered through and worked for.

That night, Harry Potter died.

And I wept.
