Harry stood alone next to a headstone that had been placed on the cold, hard ground. He wondered why, why does this have to keep happening? I thought the attacks would stop since I killed him. As he stood there, Ginny walked up to him and looked down at the headstone. It read:

In loving memory

Neville Longbottom

She looked upagain andsaid she missed him to, then kissed him on the cheek and said she would see him back at the house. He nodded and mumbled 'ok.'

He began to walk down the row of headstones, stopping every now and then to read one, most of time people he didn't know. A few of them were friends, such as Dean Thomas, killed fighting a Death Eater, or Luna Lovegood, who, despite her odd ways, had joined the Order as soon as she was out of Hogwarts and was killed during a mission. Then he stopped at one grave inperticular he had been looking for. He looked down and read the words butstill couldn't believe what they said:

Hogwarts will never be the same

To the one and only

Hagrid

Harry wondered why he had to go. Hagrid had been on a mission for the order. He was to try and get in with a group of trolls thought to be on the Ministry's side but they had been mistaken and he was murdered by his own kind. The ministry had managed to cover it up until Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione publicized it.

He looked up and noticed it was becoming dark but he wasn't worried about Death Eaters or any other parts of the Dark Lord army that had been able to survive. Since Voldemort had been defeated after what is called the greatest duel in magical history between him and Voldemort, the attacks had gone down but not disappeared as everyone had hoped they would. It seemed that by the end of the Dark Lords rule, he was allowing more freedom but keeping control over his army. So when he was defeated, the army only lost the head of their operation, not the body.

With a little pop, Harry disappeared into the night. He arrived at his door where Ginny stood waiting for him, as she did every night that he had been out. He walked slowly up to the door, taking in the night air and looking around. As he reached the door, he looked up at Ginny's smiling face and knew it was all going to be ok in the end. He made a mental note to contact Ron and Hermione in the morning about a plan he had been working on in his mind, but had not completed until tonight at the graveyard. As he stood up on the final step, he reached out and grabbed Ginny's hand and walked inside with her and closed the door.
