Intro/Prologue
It has been almost a year and a half since the Battle of Hogwarts took place. Families lost loved ones throughout the whole process. Before the battle, during the battle, some even after because of how injured people turned out to be. Their battle scars were just too much and they had to become fallen warriors. Although, right after the battle was over, the school and grounds were scanned and cleaned of all the dead; it took the professors a month and a half to decide that it was time to repair the school. There were helpers from all around coming to help. Families still wanted their children to go to Hogwarts, now that they felt it was safer. Ever since the falling of Voldemort, parents became more welcoming to Hogwarts, to wanting to send their children there.
In the clean up of the school, someone found Severus Snape out at the boathouse. Calling for help, Severus' unconscious body was lifted onto a stretcher and carried up to the wrecked Great Hall. Madam Pomfrey looked him over, having to remove his infamous cloak as well as his shirt. She discovered all of the snakebites he had taken from Nagini and knew his body would be quite full of poison. She sent off some students, who were standing close by, to go to her office in the hospital wing and get her potions that she listed off by heart. When they returned, she forced them into Severus, making them go down his throat. She knew it would be a long shot that he survived, but she would do this for on the hour, every hour, for two days.
After losing her sister in the battle, Padma Patil went for a walk, not really seeking anybody or anything. She stepped over bodies and ruble and just walked. Her eyes came into focus at some point, as she saw a limp body lying just ahead. She quickened her pace. When she stopped, she let out a screaming sob and fell to her knees beside the body of Lavender Brown. Lavender was her sister, Parvati's, best friend and therefore became Padma's as well. She felt hands touch her and she looked up into the face of her favourite teacher, Sybill Trelawney. Padma stood and followed two males that were carrying Lavenders body. She wasn't sure who they were; she wouldn't take her eyes off Lavender to look. She watched as they set her down beside another body, who she found out to be Severus Snape. Padma watched as Madam Pomfrey fussed over Lavenders body, cleaning her scars and bite marks. She didn't know what would happen, but she wasn't going to leave any moment soon.
