Is it time, then?

Time for me.

I knew I wouldn't last long like this.

But still...

I had hoped to stay.

For a while.

Maybe.

I want you to know

- All of you -

That I love you.

'Till the end.

Funny.

'Till the end?

This is the end.

I'll love you beyond the end.

I just hope there is one.

For me.

I'm going to fight -

- I'm going to lose.

Don't give up.

I get it now.

I'm not going to be

The Boy-Who-Conquered-The-Dark-Lord.

I never was.

I'm just a ploy.

So take the chance that I'm handing you.

So you see this wand?

I don't need it.

Here. I'll leave it here, for you.

To remember me by.

Just know -

I never meant to hurt any of you.

But this is how it has to be.

Me against him.

Just the two of us.

I'll fight.

I'll lose.

We all know it.

Because he'll come back.

But it will take a long time.

Long enough to figure out a way

To stop him.

Can you do that?

For me?

I'm not afraid of death.

But I'm afraid for you.

All of you.

Because I love you.

Beyond the end, remember?

Here's my wand -

Here's my life -

- Take it or leave it.

Don't let my memory

Die.

Never be afraid

to love again.

Give everything a try.

For me.

Experience it all

For me.

Because I can't.

I'm just a ploy.

My fate. My

Fate. As the Boy-Who-Almost-Lived.

You know the one.

A legend in his own time?

Just a farse.

Someone to worship.

Someone to be the Hero.

Too bad I'm going to fail.

Too bad there is nothing else for me

To do. But fail. For you.

My death

Means your life.

Take it or leave it.
