I stare at my desk, forehead pressed against the palms of my hands as my fingers entangle themselves in my black hair. Dumbledore had just informed me that my world had ended. Not exactly, but his words set off this accusation in my mind.
Lily Potter, dead.
Anger boils up inside of me as I remember Dumbledore mentioning the survival of the baby. Voldemort had failed his task, disappeared, and broke his promise all in one night. I hate him.
He killed the one thing that means everything to me, the one person I love. He ripped her away from me. Then again, she was never mine to begin with.
A tear escapes my left eye and drips onto the dark wood. It's ignored. Another falls, and another. I don't try to stop them.
My heart aches as I realise I won't ever see her red hair or green eyes again. Well, perhaps I will, but never on her. I will never hear her laugh or see her smile.
Death cannot stop true love, it can only delay it for a little while.
But it wasn't true love. It was unrequited, one-sided, unreturned. Yet my heart continues to yearn for her, as it has done for the past decade. I will see Lily one day, and with that thought, I wipe the tears from my face, as classes start soon.
"Death cannot stop true love, it can only delay it for a little while." - The Princess Bride.
A/N: The ending was naff, I know... I wrote several different endings to this, each as bad as each other. I chose this one.
