A/N: This is a little angsty fic, Harry is about to die, and before he
does, he tries to find an answer for the age old question, is there a god?
-
As I reflect
-
I can feel the life slowly leaving my body, and I know that soon I will lay forgotten in the ground, with all of the other victims. Alright, I will admit it, I will probably never be forgotten, I mean, come on, I am the boy who lived, a legend! But even legends will dissappear someday, thoguh it may take longer than the legacy of a 'normal' person
In a blur my life flashes before me, my parents death, my time at the Dursleys, when I first met Hagrid, I remember when I was sorted into Gryffindor, and befriended Ron and Hermione. I remember Mr. Weasly, and Ginny. I think about Sirius, and of Professore Lupin, two of my closest friends. My thoughts stray to Dumbledore, and my other professors.
Yet, as the last few days flash before me, I can't help but wonder, what now? I mean, I am leaving this world, but where will I go after I am gone? Perhaps only time will tell, perhaps.
Yet I still wonder, are the muggle beliefs correct? Is there such a place as "Heaven and Hell", or are they just a comfort to those who believe in them? Perhaps there is a Zeus, a Jesus Christ, a God.
Or is it all just an hoax, to make us push aside what we already know, that once we leave this world, we're just gone?
I am not sure I will find the answer.
Oh, yes, I was raised to be Catholic, a branch of Christianity, while I was with the Durselys, but once I entered the wizarding world, there was no use for such beliefs.
Or was there?
In the normal world, there was a mild chance of dying young. In the wizarding world, we faced death everyday…perhaps we needed these beliefs to keep us going.
I begin to lie down, and know I will be dead within a minute or so.
I feel my last ounce of life leave me, but before I am dead, I manage one last, dying word.
"Lord."
*************
Okay, yes that WAS kind odd…. But it is something I haven't seen in Harry Potter fanfiction yet. It is what I think wizards think about god……for all of you who wonder, I am Japanese non-denominal, which is yet another branch Christianity ^_^ Flames are accepted, and fed to the Japanese Sumo wrestlers, who need all the food they can get!
