Summary
Peter rolled onto his side, spitting out blood and saliva. He sucked in air like a drowning man between rattling coughs until he could mutter a spell.
“Accio wand.”
Nothing. Focus, Peter.
He closed his eyes and imagined his magic flowing through his fingertips and through the door until it snagged on something.“Accio wand.”
Again.
“Accio wand.”
Hysteria wrapped itself ‘round his heart and squeezed. They were going to come back comingbackcan’tdothisgonnadiethey’recoming-
“Accio wand!”Peter peeled his eyelids open and allowed his body to fully slacken against the stained and once-grand tiles of some room in Rowle Mansion. He was going to die with no one but himself to blame.
His wand hit the floor beside him with a hollow clack.

On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who, at the dawn of decision, sat down to wait, and waiting died.
