Character Albus Dumbledore
Prompt: (location) Headteacher's Office.
He sits in his office, his usually twinkling eyes are dull and full of regret. He had promised Lily that he would keep her family safe and he had failed.
She was dead, James was dead and the only reason Harry lived was because of her it had nothing to do with him.
He had promised Severus that he would keep Lily safe and Severus would never forgive him for failing to do so. Albus would never be able to forgive himself either, but that won't matter to Severus all he will see his own pain and grief.
He wonders not for the first time in his life if the killing curse hurts or if it is completely painless.
He hopes for Lily and James, everyone else whose ever had the misfortune of having it used on them that it is painless.
