This takes place in New Moon, but it's the beginning of the year, Edward never left, and Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett are still in school. In the Harry Potter world, the war with Voldemort ended a few months ago.
Hello, people of the fanfiction universe. I know, I know. Three stories at once? Yikes! But, hey, it's a free country, ain't it? So check out my other fics. This one, I'll be updating much more slowly. I've been rushing myself. I'm gonna calm down now. So I hope you enjoy this, and that it's as good as my other two fics. R&R!
Prologue
After the war, many rejoiced… but many also mourned. There wasn't a wizard or witch involved in any war, that hadn't lost someone they loved. But, this time, it was different. This time, there was hope for a better, peaceful life.
And, sure, everyone did their best and tried to move on. But for some, it was very difficult.
Perhaps George was the saddest, for he no longer had his humorous twin at his side. He wasn't as cheerful as he used to be.
Or maybe it was Percy, who strongly regretted staying away from his family.
Or maybe it was Harry.
He'd loved just about everyone who had died in the war. So many people had left him… But that wasn't the worst part.
The worst part was the fact that he couldn't mourn. He was the hero. He had to wear a smile for everybody.
This was often difficult for Harry. The only way was to find a place to hide. Hide from the smiles. Hide from the words of
praise everybody offered him. Hide from everything.
But this task was next to impossible. People always tracked his moves. They would know at once if the great Harry Potter twitched even the tiniest muscle. If he tried to find a place to hide, they would swarm in, like a hive of bees, buzzing their congratulations and thanks loudly while he screamed at them in his head.
He did not want that. He wanted to be able to mourn in peace, without a pack of people trailing after him.
The members of the Weasly family, after becoming popular, shared the same problem, though not as severe as Harry's. Hermione shared it as well.
They all wanted to find a place to remove their smiles, and show their true feelings. Was this really too much to ask for?
