Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter or anybody in this story other than Casper and her adoptive parents
The pain was like nothing I'd ever felt. It was everywhere all at once and I couldn't stop it.
"You'll never be rid of me you little bitch." Bens face came into view, a manic grin on his face. "You have no protection left." I looked around and surrounding me was dead bodies. My mum and dad were at the beginning, followed by the baby brother I never knew. Next was Julia, her kind eyes staring at nothing. I looked next and let out a sob. Albus Dumbledore was hanging, broken, his half-moon spectacles hanging off his face.
"Wh..wheres Professor McGonagall?" I asked tears running down my face. He just grinned and pointed to the floor where a bloody, cut up Minerva McGonagall lay.
"Oh my god...oh my god." I sobbed, my voice barely a whisper.
"I'm going to kill you now." Ben told be grabbing my hair and pulling me closer. "I'm going to kill you slowly, and painfully." He stabbed me. I felt the knife pierce my skin everywhere he could reach.
"HELP! HELP ANYONE!" I screamed as he cut open my stomach slowly.
"No one can hear you." He whispered and I screamed louder as he poured his beer all over me. I sobbed harder and harder as I heard the voices.
"Casper! Casper!" The voices screamed and I sobbed harder as the pain became better, and the voices got louder.
"Casper! Oh my god!"
I opened my eyes and Ben was gone and I was in my room, Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall standing over me. The sight of them alive was to much and I curled up in a ball sobbing my heart up.
"Albus shes bleeding do something!" McGonagall screamed one hand on my head. I looked down and sure enough there was a red stain around my shirt. Without warning I leaned over the side of the bed and started coughing up blood. Dumbledore was pacing with his wand in hand muttering spells. I started shaking and my crying slowed as my vision got black around the edges like it had for so many years.
"My….w...wr...burning-" But I was cut short when another spurt of blood came up. I tried to push up my sleeve but I couldn't seem to do it while I was shaking.
"Minerva her wrist!" Dumbledore yelled coming over in two long strides and pulling up the sleeve of my shirt. My mark was glowing again except this time it didn't hurt. It warmed me up and covered my skin in a sort of blanket. I continued coughing weakly but nothing came up. I closed my eyes softly, the darkness beckoning me ever closer to its depths.
"ALBUS SHE WON'T WAKE UP!" I heard a woman scream and shake me but that was so far away. "SHES DEAD, ALBUS! Oh my god she's dead!" I heard the woman start to cry but I was too far into the darkness to come back. I felt myself lose control ever so slowly of reality. Just then there was a bright white light and I could see again. I looked over to see Dumbledore and McGonagall locked in an embrace their foreheads pressed together.
"Its okay I know I know it's okay." He consoled her, a single tear running down his face.
"I...I told her she would be okay. Albus I promised." She whispered shaking uncontrollably tears running down her face much faster than the single tear on his face.
"I know there was nothing you could do." He answered pulling her into a tight hug, her sobs muffled by his shoulder. I walked over to them, meaning to put a hand on McGonagall's shoulder but watching it go through her.
"She can't be gone she can't just be gone Albus." She sobbed, trying in vain to make this just a bad joke.
"They can't see you." A voice said from behind me and I spun around.
"Mum?" I asked weakly, not believing my eyes.
"It's me Casper." She answered tears in her eyes and I ran up to her. Her arms wrapped around me in a hug and I smiled despite the tears running down my face. "Your father wanted to be here but he couldn't, he says he love you though."
"Where is here? Am I dead?" I asked looking over at my body, its eyes open, lifeless. It was unsettling.
"Thats up to you Cas." She answered looking at me sadly. I looked at her then back at McGonagall who was now shooting random objects around the room finally giving up, sliding against the wall her sobbing ringing in my ears.
"It would be so much easier to die." I admitted looking up at my mum, "I could see you dad all the time and the baby too." At this she looked a little confused but I continued, "But I have so much left to do here too."
"I know baby I know." She whispered stroking my hair.
"Then you know what I'm going to do?" I asked her taking one last look at McGonagall.
"I love you so much, both your father and I do don't forget that." She told me as I slowly disappeared.
