Lament
of the Angels:
Albus
P.W.B. Dumbledore
Can you see me?
I'm watching you, just like I have done every moment since my death… watching and waiting, but for what, I do not know.
Do you know I'm here? Have you figured it out yet? Have you learned what is worse than death?
Do you understand that I am not truly gone? Do you realize you are not alone?
I do not believe you do.
You never understood what I meant when I told you death was but the next great adventure.
I remember how you acted in the cave; so strong, so brave. My heart was bursting with pride even as it withered, even as the poison raced through my blood. When we arrived at the school, I almost could not go through with the plan. I almost sacrificed everyone for you once again. Can you forgive me?
I am still here, still watching over you, still ready to intervene at a moment's notice; please know that. I know that someday you will join me here, and all at once, I wish for it to be soon and two hundred years from now.
Will you make it through this war whole?
Will you do what you have set out to do?
Will you survive your victory?
Do you even know how to live in peace?
I have always thought of you like a son. I always will.
…Do you love me, my son?
Review, as always, if you have something to say.
Cheers,
LIZ
