Prologue

Chapter One,

Grief and Other Things


It was minutes after Voldemort died, while everyone came to grips with their situation, and mourn the ones who fell in the Final Battle. Families comforted each other, shed tears and celebrated the Dark Lords death.

Harry stood, overlooking the Great Hall while his mind went into overdrive, just to not face that horrible feeling in his chest. It felt like bile rising up his throat, coughing back the pain, the horror. All of the dead sacrificed their lives, for him, and he felt sorrow, which had burrowed its way into his heart since his godfather's death, and many others who paid a price for him.

Dead.

They couldn't be brought back, no matter how much he silently willed his wish to come true.

Clenching and unclenching his fist, the tears slowly started to leak out.

Harry couldn't change anything.

Nothing could be changed.

No matter how much he wanted to change fate.

He started speaking out to the crowd, the families and friends that lost loved ones that tragic day. If Harry couldn't bring back the dead, he was going to bring back joy, and that familar feeling of happiness to the Wizarding World.

One day at a time.
