Title: Ten Years

Author: Duh, me! Night Essence

Rating: PG

Summary: Justin visits the graveyard.


Justin Finch-Fletchley is your average wizard. At age eleven he received an acceptance letter from Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and, was sorted into Hufflepuff. He finished his schooling with decent grades and began to work at the Ministry as a desk clerk. Exactly ten years ago he helped out in the Great War. He along with several others were honored as war heros.Justin laughed a cold, harsh laugh and looked at the grave in front of him. He was celebrated as a hero, but the only reason he was alive was because the person in front of him died. Someone had sacrificed their life for him, and he didn't even know the person. Unlike everyone else currently in the graveyard mourning their loved ones, Justin was mourning the loss of a man he never knew, and now would never know. He was just a kid caught up in a war he wasn't ready for. He was scared out of his mind, so when that green light was sent his way he was too afraid to move. And then the blonde haired, green-eyed man pushed him out of the way and took the curse himself. Everyday Justin thanks God or the gods or whoever is listening that he's alive, but he also curses them for not leaving him to die, because Justin is filled with guilt. That man saved his life, but Justin hasn't done anything worth that sacrifice, he hasn't bettered himself in anyway. And the guilt wears on his conscience. The man died for someone who wasn't worth saving. Fletchley's guilt has kept him away for ten years, but he's here now and he hopes that's enough, because he's just your average wizard.


Whoa. How was that? I kinda liked it, but I think Harry and Theodore will always be my favorite chapters. I kinda changed this one around, so let me know if you liked it. Oh, and remember that the next chapter will be my last. Thanks for all the reviews. Please Review.
