AUTHORS NOTE: Here is something I've had sitting in my drafts for a long time. How long you may ask? This was a written while I was still an active writer for the hp community (which was maybe months ago) but I finally decided to edit and post it because why not
Immortality may seem like a blessing to those who desire it but forget the burden those cursed with it must carry.
How long have you been alive to watch the world around you evolve? Watch as one Dark Wizard rose and fell only for another to take their place? Watch as those you loved died leaving you to grieve for all of eternity but yet some dare say that it's a gift. The answer; far too long.
If anything, it's more of a curse than a gift. A cruel way of punishing others but not just them but their family as well.
Old magic was dangerous and masters of those forces were not to be messed with. Your family had learnt that the hard way many years ago. An old witch, who one of your past ancestors had wrongly messed with, put a curse on your family. Any and every daughter born into the (Y/L/N) family would be cursed with immortality, paying their ancestors debt for all of eternity. Perhaps this is where the term 'old soul' had come from. You thought to yourself once. It humored you at the time but barely anymore. All you wanted was for your soul to be at rest but due to that witch's magic, that would never happen.
