The battle was finally over, and the wizarding world rejoiced. Everyone was gathered in the great hall, mending wounds, mourning the dead, and gathering together to celebrate the end of a war that went on for far too long. Voldemort was gone. No more would families be destroyed. No more would muggleborns fear their safety. No more would Harry Potter have to fight to protect those he loved. Although this would seemingly be a day for celebration, all was not well for Harry Potter. While the students and families remained huddled in their groups throughout the hall, Harry sat aloof, in a pile of rubble. This, however, was quickly picked up upon by Ron and Hermione who approached him.
"Harry…?" Hermione whispered.
Harry did not speak, but he looked up at her, his eyes full of tears.
"Mate! What could possibly be wrong? You destroyed Voldemort! Shouldn't we be celebrating?" Ron said.
"You two go ahead. I can't." Harry sighed.
"Why can't you? Of all people, you deserve celebration more than anyone." Ron shouted at him.
"How can I celebrate the fall of Voldemort when the person I couldn't do it without is gone?" said Harry.
"We're right here, mate. Nothing to worry ab-"
"RON" Hermione snapped "He's obviously talking about Dumbledore!"
Harry shook his head.
"Harry if you aren't talking about Dumbledore, who could you be talking about?"
"Snape, Hermione..." Harry whispered.
"Harry, Snape's the reason Dumbledore died. He was on Voldemort's side the whole time, remember?"
"HERMIONE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND." he shouted.
Harry got up, and left the great hall in a rush. Hermione and Ron soon came chasing after him.
"HARRY WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Hermione screamed.
Harry quickly stopped and turned around. He looked Hermione in the eyes and said "There's something I need to do. You obviously don't understand so I don't want you coming. Do you underta-"
"BUT HARRY!" she interjected.
"I said do you understand?" he was becoming angry.
She sighed. "Yes. I understand."
Harry continued to leave the destroyed entrance to the castle.
Ron and Hermione looked at him, and continued in the opposite direction
