Once, they had been inseparable.

It was Hogwarts - a safe haven, a sanctuary. It was a place for students seeking to learn. No Death Eater had a place there.

He was alone. Two were dead, one had killed them. He was all that was left.

With a family the size of theirs, and that said family's history, what were the odds that they'd ever have a normal wedding?

Because in the end, it was he who had control over her.

In one day, all the worst things that he could imagine happened. It was not a nightmare.

They had destroyed her. They had taken the sweet sugar from her memory, allowing death to steal the spice, to steal everything she had that had made her Lily.

Because that was all he was, and no one seemed to care enough to acknowledge it.

But was he, really? Was he really ever hers?

Because when it comes down to it, you should chose what's right.

She was his reason for fighting. He would protect her legacy with his final breath.
