War is a funny thing. Really. It is. During times of war all humanity acts differently and forgets that they are humans, concentrating on only the fact that all humans are mortal. Most try to hide it but it somehow sneaks into their everyday life that everyone is indeed, afraid. I know it sounds funny. But war really is a funny thing and people don't even know it when they are bitten by it. Some take that second serving of potatoes because they don't know when the next time they will be able to eat potatoes will be. Others may buy that nice shirt just because they don't know if they will still be able to when it comes on sale. However, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley recognized it, instead of eating potatoes and buying unnecessary clothing items for twice the price, they got married.
Now neither were the type to give their heart lightly (except Harry's thing with Cho in the fifth year but nobody talks about that anymore) and that was the sole reason they were able to survive Molly's wrath. Sure she secretly was in love herself with the idea of having Harry Potter as a son in law, but she still had to imitate a tea pot that had been left on the stove to long just to make sure that they were perfect for each other. So on a beautiful and sunny day in August, Miss Ginerva Prewitt Weasly became Mrs. Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived's wife.
War is still a funny thing but there are times where it goes beyond funny and steps into your back yard. The first battle of the American Civil War started in some bloke's back yard at some bloody place called Bull Run. Then to avoid the war he moved to another bloody place called Appomattox and four years later he saw the war end. In his back yard. This random bloke is kind of like Harry. A person who doesn't want to be caught up in it and does everything he can to protect those he loves but it still bites back. It's not even his fault but it's still the way the dice fell. You might be thinking "well at least the bloke in Appomatum or what ever it's called saw the war end Harry must have too if he was kind of like him". Well Harry was there when the war ended, god knows I was too, and Hermione. The only thing is Harry was the cause of the end.
It was when Harry Potter, age seventeen with a wife and child on the way, died that the war ended. Sure it's a sad thing when a kid dies in war, but it's happened before to both civilians and boys of thirteen fighting for their cause. But when it is worse after the war has ended than before that's when you know for a fact that something is wrong. And that is when war stops being a funny thing.

Is sad enough without this rain
