There isn't much worth fighting for

I can not move on

I saw you and I shut the door

But you still say I'm wrong

I never want you to leave my sight

No matter how much you say

It'll be alright

I've found my way

And I'm holding tight to you

I fell forward into a steep hill, I looked around. I thought it was night until I saw a little bit of sun. it was a vast forest with hefty branches covering the sky. Light only crept through small cracks, of the smaller branches. It made me nervous, I could barely see my path but I kept moving. I kept jumping at the slightest rustling of leaves, I could feel that something or someone was nearby.

In a flash of light something jumped forward and I fell backwards as my panic heightened, I heard more as if the were flying and landed right in front of me. I looked up slowly to see a man in deep purple robes with a large "H" embroidered into the middle of his robe. He looked at me grimly while I looked around at people all wearing deep red robes all with solemn faces.

"Stand, Mr. Potter." the man in purple robes voice boomed. I was a little shaken on how he knew my name but I didn't question him as I hastily stood.

"My name is Budhmir Raman the head chief of the Council of the Afterlife. Mr. Potter is required to be present at the assembly of the dead tomorrow at the 12th hour. He will be escorted out of the forest of light by mister William Kennis " that Buhdmir guy said. I almost snorted at the name of this forest but stunned that I was dead. I felt myself, I felt alive but I really didn't understand. Suddenly everybody disappeared leaving only one man. A tall, thin man with deep red robes frayed a little at the edges. His hair was blonde, a bit messy. His solemn expression turned into that of smile.

"Your Harry Potter aren't you? Merlin, the CoA is going to go berserk with you here. I don't think you were supposed to die yet. Well no matter lets get you out of this forest, it gives me the creeps." he said cheerily, I tried to smile but I was still shaken up, I numbly followed him through the forest, while listening to him chatter.

"I think you have a few relatives here, yes, your mum and dad. I don't know if they'll be too happy of you being here. But look at the Bright side at least your not alone." said William.

I felt my first real smile come, my parents, I'm going to see my parents, it quickly faded. What were they going to say I didn't expect to die. Oh Merlin! What is Sirius going to say if that was Sirius in my dreams I think, no I know he's going to be ticked. I spent the rest of the journey trying to think of ways to calm Sirius but secretly happy that I was going to see him again. William just kept on talking about people who were dead. He acted as if he's never talked to anybody in his life. He was a little too cheery for my liking. I wanted to punch him in the mouth to see if he would mind but I don't think that would work.

"Ah we're finally here. You know what? Just between you and me we could've flown here but I thought a brisk walk would set our spirits high." he said smiling. I could feel my self getting angry but just looked away.

"Well have a good look around, beautiful isn't it, I believe your parents are just over that hill yonder, I could walk you there if you wa-" I interrupted him

"No, no, I think I can find my way. Thank you mister William." I said quickly.

"Just call me Will" he said smiling broadly while shaking my hand and then he flew up so fast it looked like he disappeared. Everything was beautiful just like he said, plants I've never seen, the buildings were like palaces but gave off a cheery, homey disposition. The air was the freshest I've ever breathed. It was like drinking water out of nowhere. The sun gave the perfect amount of heat, I could tell why everyone liked being dead. I couldn't understand why there were even ghosts in the world at all. Before I knew it I was climbing the hill and when I was at the top I saw it. The house was beautiful, flowers surrounded the four story building, fountains shot out of a magnificent lake, the fountains shot out colored water. The water sparkled in the sun like gold. Hills upon hills were scattered across the terrain. I almost couldn't breathe at such a sight. Then I saw her, my mum she looked young, and happy sitting in some flowers reading a book. The birds seemed to be singing of her beauty as they gathered up in the tree above.

I walked off the hill and approached her timidly. When I stood right before her I couldn't think of what to say. Thoughts like, "Would she like me?" "Would she recognize me?" "Would she be angry or happy?" shot across my mind.

"Mum?" I quietly whispered. She looked up and her eyes widened, she threw her book aside and gave me a bone crushing hug.

"Harry! My baby, my little boy!" she screamed. She just kept on kissing me on the head. I couldn't breathe but I was to happy to even thinking about that. She just kept on saying little things about my appearance and how proud she was of me.

"Lils are you alright? And who's that?" said a man behind me. I turned around and the man stared at me, it was my dad.

"Harry!" he yelled as he hugged me and my mum. I didn't think I could feel any happier. They just held me for a few minutes that I wanted it to last forever. I didn't think anything could dampen my mood until.

"Prongs? Lils? What's wrong? Who's that?" said an all to familiar voice. They looked up to him smiling I slowly turned around trying to smile.

"Harry?" he ran and hugged me but then looked at me worry etched all over his face.

"Harry please tell me it was something else please tell me that you didn't die from that- that veil!" he said pleading. I wanted to say no but couldn't I couldn't look him into the eye. I know I would disappoint him, I almost regretted coming here. He sighed an exasperated sigh.

"I knew it. I knew you weren't going to listen to me. Now what are we going to do!" he said while kicking a rock.

"Padfoot calm down, I'm sure Harry has a perfectly good explanation why he walked through that thing you came through." my dad said slowly while looking at me. My mom was still holding me tight as if I were to disappear. Guilt started over taking my body. All three of them looked at me expectantly, but Sirius had doubt written within his eyes. I tried to come with an excuse or maybe a white lie. But I couldn't I'm such a horrible liar.

"I- I err. I just wanted to see Sirius. I thought he was stuck inside the veil. I was so alone." I said the last thing under a whisper. My mums grip tightened as she comforted me with soft words.

Sirius ran his hands through his hair and my dad started pacing.

"He didn't do it, he didn't fulfill his destiny. What is the CoA going to say. Merlin this is a mess." my dad said mumbling to himself.

" I think he'll have to go back somehow." Sirius said looking at James. I got out of my moms grip.

"GO BACK! AFTER ALL I'VE GONE THROUGH I HAVE TO GO BACK! I CAN'T! I JUST CAN'T!" I roared with a incredulous look on my face.

"You shouldn't have gone through the veil in the first place. I told you not to go. You were not supposed to! Do you think that the world is all fun and games! Well its not, you got a destiny that you need to fulfill it! It's up to you and only you!" Sirius roared back.

"I don't care! I don't bloody care!" I yelled

" Padfoot, Harry calm down. First of all we don't even know how to bring him back, its been ages since they sent someone back to life, its near impossible." my dad said calmly, I felt a surge of relief.

Sirius flopped down on the ground, ran his hand through his hair once again. Suddenly I felt a wave of exhaustion, it must've been from the outburst. I swayed, I was getting a bit dizzy, I sat down on the ground and closed my eyes briefly, I could feel my scar ache. You would've thought that it would stop in the afterlife.

"Honey are you okay?" I heard my mum say.

"Hmm? Yeah just a little exhausted." I said tiredly.

"Exhausted?" my dad said confused, I didn't really understand why he was so confused. I looked around everyone else had worry in there face, even Sirius's anger disappeared as he looked me over with concern.

"What? What's wrong?" I said looking around. I could feel my energy diminishing. Suddenly my dad came up to me and pinched me on the arm.

"OW! What did you do that for" I said disbelievingly, everyone gasped, I got if possible even more confused.

"You can feel pain?" my mum said with uncertainty.

"Uh. Yeah. I can even fill the ache in this bloody scar." I said looking around suspiciously. "Can't you guys?"

"No we're dead, and you're supposed to be dead to or you wouldn't be here." my dad said. I groaned.

"Why can't I be normal!" I said. Everybody laugh a bit, but they seemed more worried.

"When are you supposed to go before the CoA?" my mum said.

"Oh! Um…. tomorrow at noon." I said distractedly. I was getting very tired.

"Here why don't you get some rest, we have a lot of beds inside even if there really isn't any use for them. It might be a little difficult since it never gets dark here" my dad semi-cheerily. I gave a weak smile while my mum helped me up, and led me inside. I was to tired to take in my surroundings, I had a lot on my mind. I was entirely confused. Tomorrow was that CoA thingy, maybe they'll have answers. M scar was prickling even more I rubbed it subconsciously, I could feel my mum trying to comfort me, while Sirius and my dad talked together quietly behind me. I could only catch a few words but I caught enough to know what they were talking to me.

Finally we reached out destination, it was a beautiful bedroom with a large window, it had a window seat, where books rested. The bed was huge, I couldn't understand why anyone would want a bed so big, it was at least 6 times bigger than me.

"Here, sweetie, just lay down. Once your rested we can talk." she said softly. Sirius and my dad were still rambling quietly but they stopped for a few seconds and nodded and went back to what they were doing. My mum conjured some water and gave some to me. I could feel my tiredness getting the better of me, even if my brain was asking questions a mile a minute. The last thing I saw was my mum smiling, it was a dream come true and I slowly drifted off.
