Harrys POV
5 minutes ago I was wondering if I'd ever get to experience my 18th birthday now I'm standing over voldemorts limp lifeless body, listening to the cheers of people surrounding me. You would all assume I'd be the happiest man alive just defeated the most evil man in the world, finally being to live a life free of worry. Well your wrong...among all the cheers there are heartbreaking sobs from all the families who had lost a loved one that night and among those families was the closest thing I ever had to a family...the weasleys
As I slowly walked over to where they were all kinds of mixed up thoughts were going through my mind "they will hate me, I'm the reason there son got killed" "what will I say to them, to mrs weasley" "after all they've done for me this is how I repay them" and they finally landed on Ginny "will she still love me" as I reached them it finally struck him "they had lost a son" mrs weasley had dark circles under her red puffy eyes giving the impression that she hadn't slept in ages with tears streaming down her cheek, mr weasley looked almost identical to mrs weasley and he looked like he had aged at least 10 years
Ron, Charlie, Percy and bill were just sitting there still in shock that they had lost a brother George was nowhere to be seen and finally his eyes landed on ginny. He looked at her,really took a good look at her for the first time in almost a year. Her skin was pale and she looked like she had lost a lot of weight her eyes were red and puffy and her face was tear stricken..man he just wanted to hug her, to hold her in a tight embrace
He was knocked out of his thoughts when mrs weasley gave him a big hug "oh Harry dear are you alright" she whispered
"yes mrs weasley I'm fine" I reassured her. She looked terrible and before I could stop myself guilt flooded over me and tears stung my eyes.
I quickly excused myself before anyone noticed my tears
I couldn't let myself cry in front of them I hadn't lost a son or brother...I had to be strong
