A flash of white.
Isn't it supposed to be green?
A squawk, then silence.
I open my eyes.
Hedwig.
I watch her breast fall one last time.
Then she's gone.
And I'm alone again.
My head is lowered but I stand.
Slowly, my eyes raise to meet his.
I hear myself speak, but I cannot understand the words.
He laughs. He points his wand at me and speaks the words that spit green light.
It comes at me again.
So slow. I can see it.
And I smile.
Promises to keep.
