Welcome to another edition of I don't know what am I doing.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.

Thunder echoed throughout the open field as lightning danced in the dark clouds. The icy rain soaked all that it touched. Blasting winds whipped and lashed at all that dared to stand in its way. Yet even in such terrible weather, an aging man walked through it. His clothes completely soaked, his white hair plastered to his head. His glasses were covered with so many water droplets that he couldn't even see out of it. Yet, the man let none of this stops him, he simply shuffled through the open field with a small smile on his face. The white mansion from where he came from fell away into the distance.

Soon enough a tree line broke past the horizon. Moving his pace up to a speed walk, the man-made his way to a worn path. Approaching the path, the elder made a beeline for a tall pine tree. Putting his hands on the trunk, his fingers traced the carving he made decades ago.

HP + DG

Forever

Surrounding the words was a heart with an arrow piercing through it.

"To be young again, eh Daph?" the man said given a broken chuckle.

Tears weld up in his emerald eyes as he turned away from the carving. As Harry looked onto the muddy path a smile formed on his face and his eyes became glossy. To the sound of rain hitting the leaves above, Harry made his way down the path. The sound of rain was replaced with laughter as memories filled his vision. His four children were running through the mud. Lillian, his youngest daughter, when she was four dancing in puddles. Noah and Pyxis, his twin sons, wrestling in the mud when they were six. Irene, his firstborn, when she was eight holding up a small toad to Lillian.

Beside him was the love of his life, Daphne Potter nee Greengrass. She was wearing a red overcoat and her blonde hair glistened from the rays of sunlight that snuck past the canopy. To Harry, she was the most beautiful woman that he had ever met. Even when she wore a frown of disapproval from watching their twins take a mud bath. Harry could see her eyes shining with happiness as she scolded the boys.

The memory faded away as Harry came to a stop at the entrance to a clearing. The bright fond smile was replaced with one that spoke of loss and sorrow. His eyes dulled to a dark forest green as they scanned the clearing.

Before him, there was a large willow tree that overlooked a small creek. The rain had stopped, and the few sun rays caused the droplets on the tree to glisten. Harry walked towards the willow tree, parting the leaves to get inside. Tears were running down his face as he touched one of the low hanging branches. His eyes never leaving the tall and proud headstone amongst the roots of the willow. Carved from the whitest marble Harry could get, it read.

Daphne Isabella Potter

Death is not end, but the beginning of a new adventure

June 1980 – October 2190

Harry sat crossed leg as he stared at the headstone. Slowly, Harry reached out and touched the headstone, his vision was filled with the image of him cupping Daphne's face. Not the young daphne from his earlier memory, but an older wiser Daphne, who had pure white hair and many wrinkles. Her eyes still shone a bright sapphire blue, and to Harry, she was still the most beautiful person he had ever met. Her eyes closed for the last time as she whispered her last words to Harry.

"I love you, my brazen seeker."

"And I love you, my golden snitch." Harry choked out as the memory faded away.

Harry sat there, silent, eyes clenched shut. The sounds of the gurgling creek and the gentle drops of the dew filled the area. Slowly, Harry opened his eyes a smile adorning his wrinkled old face.

"Do you remember how we first met?" Harry asked as his voice cracked.

Harry could almost hear her snarky response.

"How could I forget? You saved me from freezing. My hero."

Letting out a soft chuckle, Harry let himself become lost in the memory.

This is the first chapter of one-shot that got way too long. So here is the prologue, maybe by next week I have the next part ready to share. I hope you all enjoy and have a great day.

PK out!
