__________
They were always unsettlingly bright, his eyes. Too blue, too cheerful for one of his age, his burdens. Now he slumped against the wall. His body was broken beyond repair; a child--one of his own--was sent to break its soul on him. The stars in his eyes were fading, and for the first time I heard him plead with me.
I am weaker than anyone knows, but I can follow orders, and I can kill.
"Avada Kedavra!"
And up--he soared into the night sky.
No one will say that I sent a new constellation into its place. Of this, at least, I am glad.
