Dying Is The Next Best Adventure

by doctorspockable

A series of drabbles based around characters' deaths. Not entirely sure what the ratings mean, but I've rated it K because I'm assuming it means the same as U in movie terms.

AN: Please review; I need to know if what I'm doing is any good!

6 - Lockhart

Lockhart always wondered why such a famous man as himself lived in a hospital; the Healers laughed amongst themselves and told him it was to keep him safe from the mob of fans outside. But try as he might, he just couldn't remember why he had been put in there in the first place... he'd regained a few of his memories, such as his name, but that one constantly evaded him. Every so often, he would get a letter from a one Gladys Gudgeon – another "fan", the Healers said – but as he never understood the concept, they left him alone with his thoughts as he pondered the contents of the letter. He never replied; he never knew what to put. One day, a bright red envelope came swooping into the ward with the rest of the mail: nobody noticed it went missing until he screamed, clutching at his chest as he cringed underneath his bed, having fallen off in shock. The Healer-in-Charge rushed over, but a minute later he was dead from a heart attack. "Such a Muggle cause of death," she tutted, leaving her deputy to contact the family.
