Main Story: Happy Ending | Voldemort Route: Tragic Ending | Ensemble Cast | Multiple Characters with One-Sided Feelings
She had witnessed too many eras come to an end.
She had seen Grindelwald's name echo across Europe, Tom Riddle enter Hogwarts, the rise of the Dark Lord, and the Marauders in their glory. In the end, she watched Harry Potter's generation open the gates of the ancient castle.
Time never stopped for anyone.
Boys grew up, heroes grew old, loved ones died. Their names were carved into tombstones and written into history.
Only Vianca Grindelwald remained young.
She once thought immortality meant having endless time.
Until she took a child's hand in an orphanage in London.
That child was named Tom Riddle.
Later, the world would call him Voldemort.
Later still, nearly everyone forgot that before he became a name that inspired terror, he had once been a child who waited for her to come home and softly called her "Mother."
She lived through one era after another, saying goodbye to generation after generation of friends.
When fate once again pushed her toward death,
she finally understood that immortality did not mean never losing anyone.
Theme: He tore his soul apart for the sake of immortality; she bore witness to countless farewells because she could not die. When death is no longer the end, love and choice become the true measures of life.
