There was something important I had to say.
It is cold now. I am cold now. I had fire coursing through my body once. I had it long ago, it always comes back tomorrow, never leaves me alone. The fire and pain and screaming that filled my body, that fill my body, that never leave me alone. That kiss me with their memory and slap me with their hatred.

The stone walls keep the cold in. Hell's supposed to be hot. Fire and burning and aching and agony forever like what came upon me as I fought. Never give up, can't let anyone hurt what is mine. Things that are mine are pulled away and made small and forgotten about.

Fire destroys but it also energizes. I knew this once. I knew that I was a wife and a mother and a soldier for Dumbledore. Dumbledore. Dum. Dum. Dum. Bell. Bells make such sweet sounds when they ring. Music. Neville said Mama for the first time, and it was music. It was. When was it? Yesterday I think. No. Long ago. Maybe tomorrow.
