"Please don't go." Was all she said, tears running down her face.
"I have to go Ginny. They need me." I explained. Not a very good explantion
but it was one nonetheless. Truth be, if I could stay I would have. I didnt
want to
leave her all alone.
"When will you be back?" she asked, her crying slowly died down and she
looked
at me like never before. it almost killed me to tell her that I dont know
when I will be back.
"I don't know." Her face fell and my heart shattered. I didnt want to go
hunt down the
remaining Death Eaters in Russia. What I wanted mostly to do was kill
Dumbledore
for tricking me into going. I know something is going to happen to me when
i get there.
Theres no doubt about it, questions is will I survive when so many of my
friends havent.
"No matter where life's journey takes us, we're all connected
by the same beautiful sky." I had no idea where that came from, but it
seemed to ease her
mind a bit and I was thankful for that.
"I love you." she whispered into my ear and then pressed her sweet sensual
lips against mine.
I broke the kiss, if I didnt, then I would never have left. I looked into
her soft brown eyes that held so much
emotion. More tears were on their way. i had to leave before the came, my
will power was all reading
draining. With one last look into her eyes, I whispered those words
everyone longs to hear and apperated
away.
~*~*~*10 yrs later~*~*~*
I sat down by the window, staring into the vast ever darkening sky. It had
been 10 years that my love left. There have been no owls in all this time.
All i do anymore is cry and wonder. The words he spoke to me before he left
still echo in my mind. Every year i sit by this window hoping and waiting
for anything that will tell me if he is ok or the news i dread to hear. The
one where strangers with no remorse, only with the madness they have at
deliviring such news with a false sadness to their voice. It's all the same
'I hate to inform you but so in so has died. we are sorry for your lose.'
I live in fear that that will soon
happen to me. God help the poor soul who does. I wonder if he is looking at
the sky tonight and thinking of
me or if he has forgotton me and the promise he made. My eyes wonder around
the living room. My daughter Lillian Emerald Potter is sound asleep on the
couch. He doesnt know, I didnt find out til a month after he left and by
that time I was a few months along. Its been rough but it will get worse
when she starts
asking the questions I dont know how to answer. My eyes go back to the sky,
once so dark but now there
was a spot of white that kept moving around. It took me a good 5 minutes to
realize it was a owl, not any owl
but his. I started crying, the tears just flowed down my face. I held the
letter in my hand for i dont know how
long. It wasn't until the owl started pecking me that i opened it. In a
simple messy scrawl that i never
dreamed of seeing again was written
No matter where life's journey takes us, we're all connected by the same
beautiful sky.
That was all that was written. I looked back into the night sky to find the
love of my life staring
right at me with a million emotions shining through his emerald eyes. I
cried even harder than before, if that
was possible. He stood there not knowing what to do next. Well now that he
was back in my life, there was
no way he was leaving again and for so long. I reached through the window
and hugged him. He was
startled at first but then wrapped his arms around me. He didn't speak a
word, neither did I. I pulled away and looked into his eyes. I stared into
them for what seemed hours when i remembered my, i mean our
daughter. I looked over on the couch where she was sleeping peacefully,
totally unaware that her father has
returned home. I turn back to face him, wanting to know if he followed my
gaze. The overwhelming sadness
in his eyes told me he did. Fearing he would think this child wasnt his I
decided to awake her. one look at
her and he would know.
"Lily, wake up. There's a surpirse vistor here." I spoke as loud as I could
without yelling. I saw her stir
debating wether or not to wake up.
"Who is it mum?" she mumbled rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Eyes that
have reminded me of him
and tourtured me to no end for the last ten years.
"You wouldn't belive me if I told you. Just wake up. Now!!" I was getting
impatient. If she didnt turn around
soon he might leave thinking I had found another. I turned around to see
nothin but confussion and
sadness overtake his eyes. Soon it turned to horror. I grabbed his hand. He
wasnt going to leave me again.
I refuse to let it happen. "Wait!" I demanded. It pained me to great
lengths to see him like this. I wanted to end it. End all of the pain he
has endured over the last ten years. Finally she made her way to the
window.
She was nine years old, tomorrow was her tenth birthday. Even being sleepy
didnt drown out her natural
happy bubbly far from shy personalilty.
"Hi. My name is Lily Potter. What's yours? Tomorrow is birthday, i am going
to be 10 and next yr when i turn 11 Mum says i can go to Hogwarts."
"I should have prepared him better for this. He looked at her in complete
shock. Happiness was in his eyes
before it got squashed out by sadness again. It hit me like a ton bricks.
How could I have forgotton. He was mad at himself for missing all those
years, all those important monuments in watching a child grow up. He
didnt have to say anything, I could see it in his eyes and sense it all
around him. Lily tugged at my shirt.
"Mum, is that man ok?" She looked up at me with pleading eyes. "Why does he
look like dad?"
"Because Lily dear, that is your dad." I looked between the two of them
praying that he wouldnt deny it.
Lily ran up to him and gave him a huge hug, what really got me was when he
hugged her back. Tears
soaking her nightgown
