A very short woman stood next to the window in the northern-facing wall of her small apartment. Outside, the wind was howling and rain was pouring down in sheets. It was the kind of rain that looked as if it would never stop. But that was nothing compared to the amount of tears streaming down the woman's face.

She glanced down once again at the paper in her hands. "The Daily Prophet" it had, written on the front in large letters, and beneath that a moving picture of the boy she had always secretly loved.

She read the title again and wept even harder. "The Boy Who Lived and Committed Suicide".

The woman did not even want to read the article following the title, but forced herself to. Her eyes, blurred by her tears, swept the paper quickly and took in the article.

Harry Potter- The Boy who Lived and Commited Suicide

At eight-thirty on Tuesday evening, Ginny Weasley pushed open the door to a dungeon in Hogwarts castle and found the dead body of Harry Potter, commonly known as "the Boy who Lived".

Harry Potter survived a curse from You-Know-Who at a very young age, and was left with a scar- the only mark of his ordeal with the most feared wizard in the wizarding world. Over the years, Potter has survived many more encounters with He Who Must Not Be Named, even witnessing his re-birth. But recent pressures of growing up have seemed all too much for Harry, as he was found with his wrists sliced and a dagger in his chest.

Sources at Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic are sure that Potter did indeed commit suicide and the world will not be at all affected by his foolishness.

"If Harry was feeling stress, he should have come to Dumbledore, his Head of House or any of the teachers," Cornelius Fudge said, when earlier interviewed. "Even though he somehow stopped You-Know-Who from murdering him at an early age, this is a terrible example of dealing with strain for his younger peers. And nobody needs to worry about Harry's death; You-Know-Who is dead, or as good as dead. We have captured all Death Eaters. Wizards can sleep peacefully at night knowing that they are well protected."

Looks like Dumbledore's favourite boy has indeed given up on life, after being so heroic for all his life. However, we can all pray for his soul to be reunited with his dead godfather, Sirius Black, and of course his parents, Lily and James Potter, in Heaven.

"Harry," the woman whispered, her frail figure shaking in the cold draft let in from the crack in the window. "Harry Potter... please no..."

She could remember it, as if it were yesterday...

Flashback - Seventeen years earlier....................................

"Amelia..."

"Yes, Lily?"

"Oh Amelia, we've made a terrible mistake-"

"What, Lily?"

"I can't tell you, Amelia, but just promise me one thing."

"Anything Lily- But-"

"Amelia... no matter what happens... promise you'll always look after Harry."

"What...?"

"Please, Amelia, promise me."

There was a short pause. Then, a much younger and less troubled Amelia had replied,

"I promise Lily. I promise that I will always look after Harry."

End flashback

The woman saw could see Lily's troubled face and her pleading eyes right then. She looked at Harry's face on the front of the newspaper, and felt her heart break. She collapsed onto her tiny, dirty couch, covered her face with her hands, and cried her heart out.

It felt like she would never stop. Just like the rain.
