Comfort me

Chapter 1 : A death

I can still hear the screams. I hear the pain, the understanding. The relief.

I remember hearing a scream so blood-curdling I have shivers. I remember my scream.

Watching Harry inflict that unforgivable, unforgettable, Avada Kedavra curse on Dumbledore, was painful, but necessary. Voldemort had finally accomplished what he needed. Voldemort inhabited Dumbledore's body. Harry knew it had to be done, but he sobbed all the while. As if in slow- motion, The curse hit Dumbledore and Harry dropped too. How was he supposed to know that the deaths were bound to be linked? Voldemort died instantly, and Harry lay in a heap in a room inside the Ministry Of Magic.

I started to scream, and thrash, but was held back by Professor Snape. I remember clinging to his robes, and sobbing like a child. He stroked my hair and closed his eyes.

Finally I couldn't take it. I broke away from him and rushed to Harry's side. I brushed his raven-colored locks from his eyes and he looked up at me.

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

And I realized he meant the scar. I smiled at him, the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I leaned into him and kissed that famous lightning- shaped scar. I looked back at him and he smiled.

"Tell Ron I'll miss him, thank him, for everything. For being my brother.. Tell Ginny I love her. Thank the Weasleys for being my family. And Mione, Thank you for being my sister, my best-friend, my saviour. I love you. "

Harry reached up to stroke my cheek and I clasped his hand and held it to my cheek.

"I love you too, Harry."

I set his hand on his snapped wand beside him, and heard him mutter his last words while closing his eyes,

"Here I come mom and dad."

I continued sobbing, placing my hand on his chest. The saviour of the wizarding world, my best friend, Harry Potter, was dead.

I cried long after he died. I cried as Ron ran with Ginny. Ron held me, and Ginny held Harry. I finally ceased my sobbing and stood up on shaky legs. I held onto Ron and walked out of the Ministry.
