The War is over!

By Clary Oderin

This past week the war was finished. After nearly 2 decades Mr. Harry Potter, the-boy-who-lived, has finally defeated You-Know-Who and Wizards and Witches all over the world have been celebrating. "It was a hard battle, but it was worth it, and of course I had help," says Mr. Potter. The final battle was Harry and a group called, "Dumbledore's Army" against You-Know-Who and his Death Eaters. Ronald Weasley was kind enough to tell us more about "Dumbledore's Army". "It was a group Harry, Hermione and I started up in our fifth year. Harry was the leader, and we started it because we felt they weren't teaching us enough Defense against the Dark Arts. We gathered a group and Harry started telling and teaching us more spells and stuff." Ms. Hermione Granger also helped with the war. "Well, we geared up Dumbledore's Army and started teaching them again. We knew then what was key to win the battle. From the information the late Albus Dumbledore told Harry we knew You-Know-Who was using Horcruxes (See page 3 for more information). There were six in the world and the one piece of soul in his body. Two had already been destroyed. The one Harry destroyed in his second year (Tom Riddle's a.k.a. You-Know Who's Diary) and a Marvolo family ring that Professor Dumbledore had destroyed, and we relocated a Slytherin's locket, that we had stumbled across a year before in Harry's godfather's house. We knew that he had one item from each of the Founders of Hogwarts except Gryffindor, which was safely locked up. He had Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's golden goblet, and he had Nagini, we still weren't sure what Ravenclaw's until we found a mysterious copy of "Hogwarts, a History" hidden in the school. We assumed it was a Horcrux and destroyed it, finally in a bit we had all of them destroyed, the diary, the ring, the locket, the goblet, the snake, and the book, and all there was left was the soul in You-Know-Who's body. The next thing we knew we were in a heated battle against You-Know-Who and his Death Eaters. We didn't think we had much of a chance, a bunch of seventeen-year-olds against the most powerful Dark Wizard and his followers. I mean we lost a few people, and we mourn their loss and we will remember their bravery." (See more information and interviews on page 3)

"I still can't believe, they won't say Voldemort, he's gone now!" Hermione said reading from that mornings Prophet. It had been a week since the big battle and Harry sat on the end of his hospital bed in St. Mungo's he was surrounded by appreciation gifts from various wizards from around the world. Harry had stayed in the hospital for that week recovering from spell damage and other things that happened during the battle. He was mainly kept company Hermione and Ron.

"Exactly! Even I've gotten over it and I was the worst about it," Ron said. "And Hermione, you did great on explaining all the Horcruxes and everything!" Ron added.

"Thanks," Hermione blushed.

"Why don't Hermione and I go check you out while you go ahead and change back to your normal clothes," Ron suggested. He and Hermione left and Harry changed back into his clothes and finished and went to go sit back on the bed. He reflected back on the week, or more like the past few days since he had only woken up in the past two or three days.

" I hope Harry wakes soon," Hermione's voice said from far away. It was still dark and Harry couldn't seem to have enough energy to open his eyes.

"I'm sure he'll be fine, the Healers said so," Ron's voice said. His eyelids slowly opened and he could see Ron and Hermione standing by his bed.

"Hey, look, Harry's stirring," Hermione said. "Harry? Are you alright?" she asked.

"Did that happen?" Harry asked, still lying.

"Did what happen?" Ron asked him.

"The battle, everything, Voldemort being killed? Or was I just dreaming?" Harry asked.

"No, it happened," Hermione smiled.

"Where's Ginny?" Harry asked.

"Mum didn't let her come, she said she needed her rest, it was a miracle she let me come," Ron said.

"Next t-time (he stumbled over his yawn) you see her…tell…her…I…lo…" the last part had been blurred since Harry had fallen back asleep. But Harry knew what he said, he couldn't wait to see Ginny again or even just hear her voice again. He had meant to say to Ron and Hermione 'Tell her I love her.'
