Prologue: After the Battle
Harry looks over at Ginny, the love of his life. Pride just engulfs him. She has just helped him win the final battle against Voldemort. She gave him the strength to go on in the last long and hard battle. Next, he glances at Ron and Hermione, his two best friends. They had helped him in so many ways in the last 8 years, from defeating Quirrel in first year to Tom Riddle in second, from saving Sirius in third to the Tri-Wizard tournament. But the most important was defeating Voldemort… the dark wizard behind all of his adventures.
As he looks over the battle field, he sees old friends and new ones. Draco Malfoy, the boy he despised so much until he reformed in sixth year, was helping up Hermione. He couldn't believe how much Draco had changed. He saw Neville being helped up by Luna Lovegood. Padma and Parvati Patil are ok too. All the Weasleys he sees, some are a little hurt but with be ok. Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan, his old roommates seem to have been knocked out. He hopes that they will be ok. As much as they disagreed with things over the years, he liked the guys a lot. Remus Lupin, Tonks, Mad-eye, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell, almost the entire order was there. Everyone was safe and well.
Ginny comes over to him and brings him back to the present. Almost knocking him over with a hug she knows that everything will be ok.
"Congratulations Harry!" she murmurs softly into his ear. "I always knew you would win. Light always conquers the darkness."
"As much as I love taking the credit, I couldn't have done it without you."
"Huh? How? You are an amazing wizard and you did what no other wizard could have. Not even Dumbledore. And me, how could you give me the credit? I did almost nothing. Ron and Hermione helped more than me."
"Not true Ginny. You gave me strength. You gave me the will to carry on. You gave me inspiration to keep the cause going. I knew that at the end of the day, I would be coming back to you. As much as I was avenging the deaths of my parents, Sirius, Dumbledore, and so many others, you were the light at the end of the tunnel."
"Harry, give yourself the credit. For me. Please? I don't want to bear the responsibility of always having to give you strength. At the end, I guarantee it came from within you."
All around similar scenes were taking place. Draco had Hermione in his arms, just holding her, protecting her, as she shook from the shock of the battle. Fred and George, the Weasley twins, were being cared for by Angelina and Alicia. Luna and Neville were talking quietly and holding on to each other like they will never let go. Ron was being pulled to his feet by Lavender Brown who looked shaken herself.
"Love was finally able to show its face to this group," Harry thought as he gave Ginny a kiss.
