Chapter 1
The Free Walk.
Harry woke up the next morning with his hand warm and sweaty, he opened his eyes and realised Ginny was on an armchair with her head on Harry's bed whilst holding his hand. Harry lay there for a few minutes smiling, watching the girl of his dreams breathing a little heavy as she was fast asleep. Harry slipped out from his bed and gently lifted Ginny up and put her on his bed he wrapped her up with his covers and kissed her on the head. "Sleep well I will be back soon". He looked at his watch that Mrs Weasley gave him for his 17th birthday it read half past five in the morning, he crossed the room past Rons bed which was empty and looked out the window to see a soft silver and red line breaking on the horizen. He smiled at the sight and forgot how much he had missed being in Hogwarts, his home. He looked down to the grounds and it all came back to him; Lupin, Tonks, Fred, Professor Snape and many more people that he loved and cared for had died. Then he smiled thinking of what he had seen the night before when he had seen Dumbledore again. He knew they were all safe, he knew they were all in his heart and would always be with him. Ginny had mumbled in her sleep, Harry looked at her and smiled "Ginny Weasley I will marry you one day" he whispered, he slowly walked over to Ginny and leaned over her and kissed her on the head for the second time. When Harry finally got ready he left Ginny in his dorm room and headed down the stairs into the Gryffindor common room where he seen Ron and Hermione snuggled up on the sofa next to the fire place and they were both asleep, Harry couldn't help but role his eyes as he gave a small chuckle and headed for the potrait hole.
A cold shiver ran over Harry when he left the common room and into the hallways it didn't look like Hogwarts anymore, there was rubble all over the long hall ways, holes in the side of the castle where spells were blasted the night before, then Harry thought about what happened in the forrest and a shooting pain made Harry stop for a moment and take a deep breath, he rubbed his chest to feel the bruising of which could only be the killing curse he was hit with from Voldemort in the forrest. Harry got to the great hall where many people where sitting at one long table others where round the castle looking to see if they can find anyone else and to help clean up and fix the castle. "Good morning Potter" said a very familiar voice "Good morning Professor" said Harry to Professor McGonagle. "How are you feeling?" asked McGonagle, Harry smiled and simply said "Free" McGonagle smiled whilst her eyes started to water, she grabbed Harry into what could only be classed as a bear hug, Harry was suprised not that she hugged him but the strength that she had "I am so proud of you Harry, your parents would be so proud too" she said in a soft voice. Harry remembered what his mother said to him the night before "We are so proud of you Harry so proud of you". Harry smiled at this thought and said I know professor and I am proud to be their son.
After Harry got out of McGonagles bear hug he reached for the Main Entrance and made a quick exit out onto the castle grounds, it looked just as bad out here than it did inside, there was rubble all over the grounds. The once lovley green grass had red blood stains all over it. Harry shook his head and walked towards the lake he was thinking of going to his favourite tree and watching the sunrise when he finally spotted his tree, there was a red headed figure sitting there, only when Harry got closer the boy noticed him and started rubbing his wet eyes dry and sniffing heavly. "Allright Harry" said the red head. "Hey George" said Harry looking at the once happy prank master now looked lost without his partner in crime they both sat in silence for ten minutes before George said "well I'm going to go get some grub see ya Harry" George tryed a smile but it failed to reach his eyes so he turned to walk away when Harry shouted to him "Hey George I am sorry about..." but before he could say Freds name George simple said "Me to".
Harry watched George walk back to the castle, after he was out of sight Harry stood up and walked round the lake until he came to his destination. Harry looked at white marble tomb and walked towards it. Part of it was broken from when Voldemort had blew it open to recieve the elder wand "Here you go Professor" Harry whispered as he lay the wand beside Dumbledores wrapped up body. After a few minutes Harry left the tomb and thought to himself what a crazy old man and smiled at his own comment. Then he remembered he was able to go anywhere now without having to worry about Voldemort this made him excited and he was thinking of all the places then one stuck in his mind he then turned on the spot and apparated.
