sybill didn't have the heart to tell her, tell her that their love was doomed from the start.
pandora knew them so well, so well that she knew what ran through their head when they were together.
♱
death came to my house. I didn't
let her in.
time knocked on my door. time was
beautiful, and they knew
everything about me.
time let death into my house.
✴
sybill's father would put them in his lap and tell them stories of cassandra trelawney, ones that he also only knew from his parents' mouths.
"she was powerful, people feared her," he whispered. "everything she saw came to reality. even the worst visions."
✴
and the legends wouldn't be legends for much longer, for sybill knew at a very young age, that cassandra chose them to be the next. the next descendant to live a tortured life of a seer.
♱
blood, loss, tears, torture, and pain, oh, so much pain.
it was too much for a little child, and yet, there sybill was. crying their innocent eyes out to their father about a war that had yet to take place.
✴
when pandora was a child, she was always called crazy.
and maybe she was, a little bit more every day.
but whenever she touched something dead, it came back to life.
and that was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.
♱
sybill still sees her when they wake up. her limp body falling to the ground. luna's crying coming from her raw throat, that couldn't even make a sound a minute before.
the spell was too much. she would never make it.
♱
pandora had a daughter. luna.
luna, or moon, from latin. like the moon they looked at.
sybill liked to think pandora never really stopped loving her. never really stopped thinking about sybill. or the moon, for that matter.
✴
when sybill was just a child, they had a recurring vision. a nightmare.
pearly haired girl, with rough hands and wide open eyes.
and then, an explosion and an aching hole inside sybill that she did not understand.
✴
the visions came in waves.
a girl, snow-white hair. the most beautiful smile. an explosion.
a boy, left out. revenge. tears, so many tears.
so many people, dead, and yet they were just blurry faces, sybill didn't recognise.
♱
sybill was sleeping that night when it finally happened.
she saw her. she saw pandora. her scared expression, the look of grief when that explosion killed luna.
and she saw that switch. that realisation.
pandora was a necromancer.
✴
sybill came to hogwarts, and he was called crazy. insane, even.
but it was nothing compared to the crazy girl. the crazy girl with pearly hair, rough hands, and wide open eyes.
♱
so, in the 7th year, sybill distanced themselves. they let pandora go. they opened up the hole in their chest that they were so confused about so long ago.
but their love never really left.
♱
pandora, that was the name of the snow haired girl from sybill's visions.
they saw her death a million times, and yet it didn't hurt as much as when pandora told sybill her name.
✴
pointed glares, hushed laughter and questions became a daily routine.
"they tell everyone that they are going to die a painful death"
"that's impossible! are they on drugs?"
"i heard that their family has a history. people going crazy."
