"Lumos," Harry whispered, but it did no good. The darkness surrounded him, preventing him from seeing two feet in front of his face despite his wand shining dimly in front of him.
The first thing he noticed when he woke up was how cold it was. The second was that he couldn't feel his body. And the third? He wasn't breathing.
Queenie's never been a delicate girl. She may flirt, and bat her eyes at all the boys, but she can be tough when she needs to be.
Dean refused to let Seamus throw his life away over something that should never have happened in the first place.
The worst thing, Harry decides, is not the memories, or the grief, or the guilt that threatens to tear him apart. It's the silence.

Growing up, Queenie had imagined all sorts of love stories for herself. One or two of them had even involved a dashing No-Maj sweeping her off her feet, laws be damned. Never would she have imagined falling in love with Jacob Kowalski, but it seemed as though they were meant to be.
If someone had asked Lily how she thought her seventh year was going to go, she would have told you that she'd be focusing on her N.E.W.Ts and her duties as Head Girl. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that she'd be out on a date with James Potter.
