Nothing. Nothing for it, they told him. The attack too quick, her decision not to leave even quicker, her wand shielding, laying cover – others tended the wounded. Nothing but chaos, the cutting hex hitting her, her wand remaining a blur, until there was nothing left for her to give. Everything. The ring, burning a hole in his pocket but not like he thought it would. Everything depending on the question that had no answer now. Everything was different, every decision unchanged. In crisp, new Auror robes, there was nothing left to die for, but there was everything to fight for.
