Endings and New Beginnings
Chapter 1 - The Boy Who Lived
Harry lay down on the grass outside, staring up at the dark grey sky, letting the rain beat down on him. He didn't know how he felt, he was proud and happy, yet he was depressed and guilty. He had lost alot for this one moment in history. That one moment- Defeating the darkest wizard of all time- Lord Voldemort.
Harry lay frozen, wet and numb. He didn't feel like celebrating, he was aching inside, he knew this would never go away.
His dear friends, some close, some not, did some very honourable things. They fought for him, they went through pain for him, and some had died for him. He hated himself for their deaths, but he knew he would have made them proud, but that didn't make up for there deaths.
Harry sat up, his arms wrapped tightly around his knees, and looked at Hogwarts. It was annihilated, chunks were missing from the walls, rubble was still rolling down into the lake and cracks of light were breaking through from some lamps that had remained lit from the battle. He saw a figure emerging from the Stone Circle, which remained in tact, a figure that immediately made Harry move.
"Harry" the figure said, wrapping her arms around him so tightly, Harry could feel it through his numb limbs.
"Ginny, go back inside" Harry cried, gripping tightly to her, relaxing slightly when he smelt her flowery scent.
"Not unless you come in with me" She said, wiping the hair off his drenched forehead.
"I don't feel like it, Ginny, not after what's happened" Harry sobbed, sitting back down facing the castle.
Ginny sighed and sat beside him, her body tucked under his arms. Harry knew she wouldn't leave him, he felt selfish and pathetic, she was going through just as much as he was.
"Harry, no-one blames you for... you know... but you shouldn't let it eat at you, for Merlins sake, you just killed You-Know-Who!"
"It's Voldemort, Ginny, and I know I should be happy, but I just can't be!" Harry frowned, holding Ginny closer. Ginny sighed.
"Your the bravest, most handsome and loyal man I have ever met, Harry, be strong, continuing to grieve won't bring them back, and you know it" She kissed him softly, keeping a brave face.
"I know. I'm sorry, I just.." Harry trailed off, his throat throbbing painfully as he fought back tears.
"I know" Ginny smiled, sympathetically, holding him tight. "I love you, Harry"
"I love you too, Ginny" Harry forced a smile, and kissed her tenderly.
"C'mon Harry, please come inside, your frozen and wet" Ginny grinned.
"I'm not stripping, Ginny" Harry laughed abit, holding her hand and walking back to the castle.
