1. Introduction

COMPLETE SPOILERS FOR THE END OF BOOK 7.

They gathered round, every student, every teacher, every wizard and witch who fought in the Battle of Hogwarts.

One day, they would all speak of what had happened on that day. Of Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom and the monstrous snake and He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. Of what they did, of what they saw.

Of who died.

Once the euphoria, relief, and celebration had ended, they each took a seat in the Great Hall. And they grieved for the dead, as one by one, families and friends of the lost ones stood to speak. In loving memory of those they had lost.
