Character Pyramid Challenge: Level One: Filius Flitwick, bridge
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Filius walked about his quarters, his shoulders slumped and his eyes downcast. These were dark times where tongues were held and heads were turned from the occurrences that were happening within and without the castle.
He pinched the bridge of his nose before a glint of gold caught his eye. "Filius Flitwick: Champion Duellist 1945", one of many trophies, medals and awards put on display in his trophy cabinet. These he had obtained in his younger years, when he was a professional duellist, when he was unafraid to take a stand against an opponent.
But that was a long time ago and he had aged, his bones had become brittle, he had shrunk, being even shorter than he used to be, and his reflexes had slowed. He was no condition to fight any longer, he was unable to take a stand.
He continued to his bedroom, trying to ignore the question which came to mind: But if he didn't, who would?
