One day, I will be old.
I will be old, and I'll revisit the castle on the mountain, the one that overlooks the Black Lake.
My hands will be wrinkled and my eyesight poor, but Harry...
Harry will always be the boy in the cupboard. The boy who got his letter. The boy who found a friend. The boy who battled a troll. Who saved Ginny. Who took a chance on the Prisoner. Who touched the Portkey. Who formed an Army. Who made his enemy bleed and regretted it. Who walked away to die, and then saved the world.
One day I will be old, and I will pick up a book and say, "Potter, it's good to see you." And Hogwarts will still be there to welcome me home.
One day I will be old, and Harry will always be young and beautiful and flawed and so very brave and wonderful on every single tattered and worn and yellowed page.
And I will love him just the same.
