Power the Dark Lord Knew Not (Prompt: Cold)
I had written this for hpgw100 Just thought I'd post it here until to give everyone (who hasn't read it yet, that is) something to read until the challenge is over. The recognizable pharases I borrowed from Rowling because she said them best.

The cold utterly chilled him. Harry fell to his knees, gasping, fighting the memories flooding his mind's eye.
Fred on the floor, smiling face frozen. Hedwig, still as a stuffed toy. Colin, tiny in death. Remus, Tonks, their orphaned child. Dobby's glassy-eyed stare as he whispered Harry's name. Green light barely missing Ginny.
“Ginny.”
He could see her smile, her twinkling eyes. Could smell her flowery scent, feel her satiny skin. He could still taste her kisses. Her full laughter rang in his ears. It infused him with warmth, strength, love.
“EXPECTO PATRONUM!”
