Eye of Newt

She’s a witch with the power to brew new life into being. A tiny eye of newt in her cauldron, created with desire and rapture, forged by love. So much love.

He’s a wizard with the power to destroy them by fear. It rises up and overwhelms, creating visions of a monster, just like him. So much fear.

They’re a couple with the power to make another being extraordinary. Or ordinary and average, creating pride and joy; forever their child. So many dreams.

This is who they are. This is the family they’re going to be. This is real magic.

Aw. :-)

I'm struck by the line "with the power to destroy them by fear" – that's what Remus is going to need to learn, isn't it? That it's not who he is that has the power to destroy them, but rather the destructive things he does when he gives in to fear.

This was intended to be a lot darker, but they have so much to contend with in Deathly Hallows I couldn't be that mean. But yes, once Remus gives into his fear, the consequences are far worse in ways he simply can't recognize.

Thank you for commenting! :)
