Hearts Fail
WHEN PEOPLE DIE they leave traces behind. Small, frail, and almost insignificant when looked at but even so they still have the strong urge to live - to survive. Very few wizards and witches liked to call these unnoticed ideals as hearts. They live inside each of us. Unseen to many but breaking to most. Many yearn for this connection to their lost loved ones. Some even go deranged with hearts made of sorrow.
That’s the funny idea of a heart, it has emotion, and emotion can make you go to drastic measures just to keep your own heart safe, risking another heart's freedom in the process. Never taking a second to guess, is this right? Am I really right when everyone else knows I’m wrong? Am I doing the right thing? For myself? Or for others around me? Most aren’t that selfless. People are made selfish by nature after all. Many lead a life of selfish ordeals, never second guessing themselves, never thinking - Are they ok? Sadly, the muggle mind doesn’t work that way and neither does the mind of a witch or wizard. We only care about ourselves.
Not all of us are like this, however, not all of us take without giving in return. Some select few with hearts take a step back, think, and understand. This is not the time to be selfish. You can’t possibly be selfish in a time where someone else’s weakening heart is at risk. You have to take the first step though.
Luckily for us, this story follows this small spark of desperation to make the right choice for another. Though this story does not follow a boy who met a world that called him to fame. It simply follows a girl, saved by two men who knew that her life would have purpose. A child made of nothing who would grow into something. It was a small spark , almost unnoticed by many. Yet, these two wizards knew. This girl would live a grueling life much like the one she and they had lost, but at the end of the tunnel a small sliver of hope waited. And that was worth walking toward. Though, she may not know it yet she was made for big things and just her appearance alone would cause an uproar.
It started with a death, a settled decision, and an abrupt move to a far away land to keep the true chosen safe. And her name that would be known by all you may be asking? Maxine Loree the girl who became everything.
