SHARP GLORY.

nice

AND MIA POTTER .   miss euphemia royer .   beautiful intelligent french pureblood angel .   the best lady in the whole wizarding world .   marrying into the potter family instantly gained her some notoriety and eyes were always on her,   and she owned it !!   her mental and physical health were never the steadiest things on the planet and she suffered with both sorts of illnesses until the day she died,   but she always always always had a smile on her face .    always knew just how to light up a room or command your attention with a story or joke .   tender regardless of everything thrown her way .   was literally !!!   bombarded with reporters following her sisters’ death who attempted to implicate her and fleamont for having some sort of hand in it !!!   while her sister and husband were these voices increasing in volume in support of muggleborns,  mia was the one looking out for all of their families !!!   constantly on the defense and fending off accusations and !!!!  whew !!

ok but more on the whole ‘glory’ thing .  consider :  the wizarding world rejoicing in the night that voldemort died, and their death and the gravity of it all getting lost in the midst of that relief. the entire wizarding world can breathe again and the people james and lily were get muddled by all these contrasting stories when the people that actually knew them are dead. like there’s no one to speak on their behalf and while what they did for harry is HUGE and they were willing to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of the wizarding world, in that single moment it was all for harry -- like you can’t tell me that in that moment they knew the repercussions their choices that night would have, because they were so focused on protecting each other!!! they didn’t die to get their names in the history books or a statue in their honor, they didn’t ASK to be idealized or enshrined, they were literally just these barely-adults trying to save their family
