Chapter Text
Prologue
Sunrise.
His kind was not allowed this simple pleasure, but he supposed he was lucky, that he was able to enjoy one sight, without being followed by an excruciating death.
He was sitting at the roof of Salvatore Boarding House, contemplating his life. He was sure he had done enough for being in the hell he was in. His brother, who gave himself up to the devil incarnate, to save his life and his brother's girl, who he was in love with. And the major fact, that the said girl loved his brother. He snorted. No, he was not going to go there.
He was Damon Salvatore and he never gave up without a good fight. He would bring his brother back, no matter what. He got up and went back to bed with Andie.
Sunrise.
Athena Lily Potter fell on her knees, at the sight in front of her. It was surreal to see Voldemort dead. Nothing but ashes. She couldn't believe that it was real.
One shivering second of silence and then she could hear cheering and applause behind her. It was boisterous, but she was not able to join them. She was happy, that the wizard that made her life miserable was dead, but she couldn't stop the tears and the sobs that followed.
She felt someone hug her, but this was not the person that she wanted, at the moment. No, that person was dead. He would never be there to melt all her worries down just by holding her hand or hugging her. No, he was dead. Her tears suddenly stopped and she couldn't help but feel numb, as she thought about all the people, who lost their lives.
Ron helped her to her feet and she stood beside her two best friends, staring ahead. She took one long look at Hogwarts and she knew that she wouldn't be back here, for a long time. And then, apparated.
