A/N: I'm a horrible person! I'm sorry to those reading At War With Rain Clouds or These Brown Eyes.. I know I should be working on them, but I just can't.
Harry touched the familiar walls, a small, sad smile gracing his features as the stones shifted under his fingers. He remembered the six years he'd called this place home. Tears slipped unnoticed from his clouded green eyes.
The entirety of the Hogwarts that Harry had known was now represented by ash and broken down stone walls.
There were countless crosses and makeshift gravestones signifying ever recorded death that had happened during the war. Three stood out considerably.
One, a massive stretch of marble, read Albus Dumbledore, his date of birth, time spent servicing Hogwarts as a professor or Headmaster, the day he died, and his last words. The other two were a fair amount smaller, reading only
Ronald Bilius Weasley
and
Hermione Jane Granger.
No dates, no words.
There was nobody to say anything about them. The Weasleys had all passed away from some cause or another during the war, all save Percy who was still too stubborn to forgive his dead mother and father.
Hermione's parents were never found, and it was suspected that the dark lord had killed them, but time found that no one cared enough to really find out.
Harry slipped a hand through his hair, and pulled at it as hard as he could.
People didn't see it. People didn't care to see it. They didn't understand that it was hardest for him, even though he had won. Perhaps, because he had won.
Because in the end Harry was left with nothing.
Everyone that he cared about had lost, and so, essentially, Harry lost as well.
These walls were all that remained of his only home. These stones and crosses all of the people he loved. There was nothing.
He knew that he would never be home again.
