I remember the day that Alan Rickman died like it was yesterday.
It was a sunny Thursday and I'd just finished my shift in a retail job I'd only been at for less than a year. I was ready to go home and waited to leave. I checked my phone and had three text messages from my friend. I could only see the last message on my Lock Screen: "I'm so sorry!"
I wasn't sure what she was sorry for in that second. I thought it was an "I'm sorry wrong person" message but it wasn't. I opened the texts to find these three messages:
"OMG Mija"
"Alan Rickman's died."
"I'm so sorry"
I just stared at the screen for what felt like hours but had to have only been seconds. I couldn't comprehend what was happening and was panicked. A colleague came down to leave so I asked them to check if it was true. She did and it was front page news. I was devastated. It was like part of my world had come crashing down!
Ileft work and started walking through the town centre. My vision was blurry with tears so I called my dad to pick me up. I couldn't walk home. I got home after crying in the car, with a couple text messages from other friends who were sending messages saying sorry.
I put on my pyjamas, ironically it was a shirt that said "I Solemnly Swear that I am up to no good," made myself a cup of tea and just sat staring out the window of my bedroom, wishing it had been a dream.
The thing is, Alan meant so much to me, not only as Snape, the main character I had ever watched him play, but through his interviews and behind the scenes of movies he had done. I, like many others, found comfort in him and the way he was. I never knew him personally, but I knew him through the screen.
It's bizarre in the end, how one man changed the way my mind worked the things that made me smile so immensely without a second thought, who when mentioned today makes my cheeks go red with happiness as I just speak on his brilliance. I miss him every day and this tattoo just reminds me of his impact on my life. Xox

“Never regret thy fall, O Icarus of the fearless flight, For the greatest tragedy of them all, Is never to feel the burning light.”
My Regulus as Icarus tattoo 🥹 complete with Slytherin locket, Hogwarts robes, Leo tattoo, and Dark Mark peaking out ♡ He’s quite fresh so mind the redness and saturation

It was between the dark mark or a drawing I did of Voldemort with a nose while sneezing and saying achoo.

I’m looking for some advice. I am about to start looking for quotes to get this covered. Hopefully with a mindflayer. I got it 20 years ago when I loved HP and now it just feels wrong and shameful to have on my body.
Is it even possible to cover this?
