One Day

He was young, very young.
He was thin and stormy and grey and livid and alive.
Except in here. Except in that hollow place, on the slight left of his chest.
He was great and tall without being tall. He was wise and impetuous and brave and such a sinner.
He had beautiful eyes and quick, steady fingers.
He touched his mother's piano when nobody was home and dreamed about the shackles in the basement below him.
He had seen the Thestrals in his last year at school.

She was plump, and fairly young, and rather pretty, if you caught her at the right time. Of course, it was always when people found her with the pig snout and pink hair and violet siren eyes that she was most attractive. It was a part of her charm.
People found her generally amusing and sometimes a pest, and she always smiled so that you couldn't get angry with her.
She was very clumsy and belonged to a family that didn't like her - no, they didn't like her at all, and the very last person she had left just up and died.
She never let it show, how much it bothered her that her family killed each other - not just once, or twice, but all the time. Her aunt had killed her uncle the same way she'd killed her mother. It was all a very complicated process but the end result was the same.
Her family made her wear black. Again.
-
One day the doors of his mansion were busted open.
-
One day she'd had enough.
-
One day he whipped out his wand and said a curse that couldn't be taken back.
-
One day she swore that she wouldn't let it happen again.
-
One day he tore down the walls of his mansion in his rage.
-
One day she avenged her mother's death.
-
One day he went after the woman who had killed his beloved aunt, the aunt who had always given him rock candy.
-
One day, she stormed into a meeting full of Death Eaters.
-
One day, he proved himself for the Death Eaters.
-
One day, Tonks was in a battle where she didn't lose her dignity, only her life.
-
One day, Draco killed his cousin.
