Summary: Harry dies.

~~~~~~~~~~

When heroes die the whole world freezes for a second. It's like time wants to pay its respects for a moment.

When heroes die everyone is sad, even the bad guys are, at least a little bit. It's like something in their hearts know that something's wrong.

When heroes die there's always someone who closes their eyes; so they could rest in peace.

When heroes die everyone always say they've gone to a better place.

When heroes die...

Harry Potter's limp, lifeless body fell to the ground, landing on top of the fresh white snow. His green eyes were wide open, and completely empty. He laid in the snow, his dark hair was spread all around him, like some sort of a mane. His face was set in concentration, his hand still clutching his wand.

When Harry Potter died no one noticed. They were all too busy, fighting for their lives, and for the lives of million others.

Even Voldemort didn't notice, and he was the one that killed him. The curse was supposed to be for someone else, but he missed. He didn't have time to look where it hit.

When Harry Potter died nothing extraordinary happened. The earth didn't split in half, the sky didn't darken and began to rain, the bad guys didn't burst in flame. He just died, and that was it. Green light hit him straight in the chest, and he was alive no more.

When Harry Potter died no one was unusually sad. No one felt that something was suddenly missing.

When they found him they closed his beautiful emerald eyes. They said he fought well, he died in the battle. They said he was in a better place now, finally with his parents.

But it was all too late. When Harry Potter died the world kept its course, everyone kept fighting, and nothing happened at all.
