THE AFTERLIFE
Peter Pettigrew was knelt in front of Lily Potter his head hung
"Oh Peter" she said
"Oh … Peter" was all she could say her eyes brimming with tears
"I I'm s so s s s s so sor-"
"Ssssshhhhhhhhh"
She reached down with one hand and lifted his by now tear stained face to see hers
And for once he did not stutter
"thank-you."
