shining bright

he has been swimming almost his whole life, the water makes him feel grounded, at peace. he used to go to the black lake some nights, just floating, staring at the sky -the stars- and the feeling of water made him feel at ease. there wasn't the usual loud and mean thoughts in his head, just the sound of water and the coldness turning into warmth.

when he told kreacher to go, he went to the water, and for a moment it was quiet, familiar, just like the nights at the black lake.

then the first inferi came, and then the second, third, fourth.

he was a good swimmer, but when you are being dragged down there's nothing you can do.
