A/N: Hi Guys, this is a series of drabbles (because I love them) about the last thoughts going through the heads of each of the HP characters who died. Inspiration for this fic goes to Shadowed Shinobi, whose fic "Things Unsaid" gave me this idea. Thanks very much to them.
Each are exactly 100 words, not including the song lyrics or the characters name.
Song: It's A Man's Man's Man's World, James Brown
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
The Grey Lady
"I won't go back with you."
Those fateful, fateful words.
I gazed into the Baron's slate-grey eyes, and waited for the barrage of fury-tinted words, that I was sure was coming. I braced myself. Steadied my hands.
But there was nothing.
Only the bruised, cracked, deformed, ego of a man with a broken heart.
I raised a my fingers gently to his face, a feather light touch. Cupped his cheek.
"I'm so sorry."
He jerked away from me, then, a flash of silver. A clumsy step.
This is a man's world. They have the power. There's nothing I could do.
