The War Ends
It was over. Years of terror, and it was over. Freedom.
Harry stood at the foot of Dumbledore's office, with Ron and Hermione. He looked down at the two wands in his hands, and without a word to the other's Harry walked up to the Hospital wing. Ron and Hermione went to comfort Ginny and the rest of the Weasleys.
Harry pushed open the oak double doors and walked towards a bed. He stood back so as not to be noticed by the occupant or the man sat by the beds side. Harry pocketed his wands and took a seat next to one of his guardians, Remus Lupin. Lupin started when Harry sat down but when he saw who it was relaxed but only a little. Harry had lived with Remus and Sirius since he was a five year old boy, and Sirius had been cleared of the charges of the murder of 12 muggles and Peter Pettigrew. They were the only family Harry had and were now his parents. Therefore when Harry, Ron and Hermione had run away to destroy the horcruxes, they had been frantic. Remus looked like he wanted to say something but his gaze drifted to his husband, Sirius. Who was asleep on the bed after suffering the Crusiatus curse for more than 10 minutes. Harry looked at Sirius too. He knew that it was his fault that Sirius was here. If he had just finished Dumbledore's mission sooner, Sirius would have never found out about the battle. If only Harry hadn't needed the diadem.
"How is he" Harry finally spoke, his voice sounding coarse, and reverberating in the peacefulness.
"He'll be fine, he should be around in about an hour. Harry we need to talk about what you did, you should never have run away like that, especially since you did not confide in Sirius or I. We have been worried sick, so have the Weasleys, I would not have thought that you would drag yourself and your friends into such danger."
" I know Remus, but it had to be done, and it had to be me who did it. Dumbledore's orders. I'll explain more when Sirius wakes up so Ron and Hermione can help me. And I didn't want them to come but they insisted, and anyway, if Ron and Hermione weren't there, I would have died."
Remus studied Harry. Harry realised how pale Remus was, and he saw the traces of tear marks down his face. Harry thought back to when Hagrid had carried him into the grounds from the forest. A lump appeared in Harry's thought, he hadn't thought about Remus or Sirius seeing that. His main priority was making sure Voldemort was killed.
Sirius woke up as Ron and Hermione and the rest of the Weasleys entered. Harry looked at his friends and started his story.
