Am I Ready?

Chapter 2- The Dursley's

Harry has always been my anchor, my son. The one who when things get tough, I turn to for hope.

He reflects why I am who I am. He has the spirit of all of my students. He gives me a reason to survive.

I have a few choices for the future. I could die now, I could live my life in sorrow, I could party for a little bit before I die, or I can help save the world before I die.

Looking at the young boy who has seen so much pain, I know which I will choose.
