The Worst Thing
Title: The Worst Thing
House: Gryffindor
Rating: PG
Challenge: The Ten Commandments
Word Count: 100
Characters/Pairings: HP, SS
Author's Notes: This is my first-ever piece of fanfiction, so I appreciate any comments.
While everyone celebrates Voldemort's defeat, Harry Potter stands hunched over Dumbledore's pensieve, bitter tears poisoning the swirling silver mist of memory. His trembling, white fist still grasps the tiny glass phial an owl had delivered as Harry finished washing away the last traces of blood.
If a curse strong enough to fit his crime existed, he would cast it upon himself. But there is none and didn't he himself destroy the last dementor after watching it silence Snape's seemingly inexplicable laughter?
Harry had always thought the worst thing anyone could be was a murderer. He knows now he was mistaken.
