It's only the beginning but I would love any comments or advice that anyone has about my writing. Thanks for reading!
Once again, Harry awoke and Voldemort was gone, along with the part of him that had lived inside of Harry. Harry layed still, waiting for any sign of Voldemort, but none came. Soon enough the death eaters were fleeing, their black shadows flying through the air, most likely on their way back into hiding. As soon as they were all gone, Hagrid ran to Harry.
"Harry! Are ye alright?"
"Yes, Hagrid I'm fine. What happened?"
"He's gone Harry, the one who must not be named is gone!"
Harry smiled up at Hagrid, relieved. But something was still pulling at the back of his mind. It was probably just the pain of his scar but that must've only been there because Voldemort was finally destroyed.
Hagrid slowly lifted Harry to his feet and began to carry him back out of the dark forbidden forest. Harry thought about looking for the resurrection stone, but decided that it would be best left alone, just as the mirror of erised had been.
Finally they were walking up the great stone steps of Hogwarts, but the steps were not so grand anymore. The battle had destroyed nearly half of the castle, with walls crumbling and fires blazing at different parts.
"Sad to see it like this, 'eh Harry?"
Harry looked up and saw tears in Hagrid's eyes and realized just how much Hogwarts must mean to Hagrid. Harry felt that it was his home and he'd only been there for 6 years, Hagrid's lived there his whole life.
"Hey, at least this will keep Filch busy for a while."
Hagrid smiled.
"Harry!"
Once again, Hermione was hurtling towards Harry through the Great Hall. She lept onto him to give him a hug as Ron watched with his mouth gaped.
"What in the bloody hell happened?"
Harry went on to tell them l about what had happened in the Forbidden Forest but decided to leave out the part about his scar still hurting.
"Harry this is incredible! He's finally gone!" squealed Hermione as Ron beamed.
Harry saw the stern Professor McGonagall coming towards him and walked to meet her.
"Potter, it is so good to see you." she said with tears in her eyes.
"Same to you, Professor."
"Would you mind meeting me on my office once you say your hellos to everyone please?" she smirked as she walked away and saw Ginny bounding towards Harry.
They embraced each other and kissed, everything from the past 7 years finally coming out.
Harry stopped once he saw Ron glaring and the rest of the Weasleys watching. He walked over to the rest of the Weasleys as they stood over Fred. Their typical smiling faces were faded but they didn't let it bring down the happy fact that Harry was alive. They began bombarding him with questions about how he survived but thankfully Neville walked over hand-in-hand with Luna to give his condolences and Harry was able to slip away.
