The characters in this story belong to JKR. The story is mine.
If by chance I have a story similar to one you have written, I sincerely
apologize because I don't want to steal someone else's work. But you know
what they say, strange minds think alike.

A/N~ This is my first fanfic so please be gentle. I would really appreciate
reviews, and if it's awful blame Katie D. because she's the one who told me
to write one. Well here we go. Oh, and tissue alert.

She Cried

Sitting alone in her room she cried.
She cried for the lost lives.
She cried for the lost time.
She cried for the children not given a chance to live.
She cried for the people not given a chance to say goodbye.
She cried for her husband, killed defending her.
She cried for their friends, Aurors like herself.
She cried for Sirius and Remus who had fought valiantly and died bravely in
the battle against evil.
She cried for the innocent victims, killed for being at the wrong place at
the wrong time.
She cried for Diane who had lost her child.
She cried.
She cried for Harry, her son, who hadn't been given a chance to live.
She cried for her James, her husband, who had been taken from her, protecting
her.
She cried for the world, a dark and desolate place without hope, ruled by
evil.
And last, She cried for herself.
She cried because she was alone and frightened. Her whole life had been
taken away with two words "Avada Kedavra". She cried because she had failed
the world, a world that was doomed to evil without her son, the fated child,
to protect it.

She sat up as she heard the door open and watched Albus and Minerva step
through the door. The only friends she had left, that He hadn't taken from
her.

With them she saw a glimmer of light through the darkness.

She saw hope.

Then, suddenly, she knew.

She would have to face the evil one, the One Who Must Not Be Named, the one
who stole her life.

She would have to face Voldemort.

She saw a long road, and a hard fight to be won. In their memories she would
fight it, she would not give up, she would win.

She stopped crying,

And walked through the door to her future.

A/N~ if by any chance you couldn't tell, this is about Lily Potter. R&R!
