The war had finally ended. Voldemort was defeated and peace would be restored to the Wizarding World. Harry, Hermione, and Ron were back at the Burrow by now where they all congregated with the rest of the Weasley family and the remaining members of the Order of the Pheonix. Life was as back to normal as it could be. Mrs. Weasley was batching up some cornish beef as well as some mince pies to celebrate new freedoms and everyone was relieved that the Dark Lord has gone, albeit at a very heftly cost. Mr. Weasley had the day off from work as did most of the Ministry so that proper measures would be taken to restore the Wizarding World back to normal. Of course, it would be weird at first. There would need to be a transition between the world under the reign of terror of Voldemort to the carefree days that lay ahead. Fred Weasley, Nymphadora Tonks ,and Remus Lupin had their funeral that day and they all said words they would like to say. During the Funeral, the Weasley family was crying over Fred's death, George especially. George went up to the coffin and claimed,"Fred, you've been with me my whole life. There is no one else I'd rather do mischief with and I never imagined that I'd ever be separated from you. You were a great person, willing to do anything, even get detentions, to make another person smile. Your presence will be missed by all, and just know that you didn't die in vain. The war is won, and because of your sacrifice the rest of us can live in peace." "I love you, Fred" he whispered, as tears began rolling down his face. Many of the others came up to talk about Fred, as well as about Tonks and Remus. Nearly everybody left the funeral crying and Harry couldn't stand his emotions so he entered the house.
Harry noticed Hedwig sitting on the windowsill holding out the Daily Prophet so Harry reached out for the paper. As he was expecting, news of the end of the war was shining back at him. It would be apparent as to what was on the front cover. Defeating a dark wizard who has been in power for years isn't something that happens every day. He looked at the title, and continued to read, though he didn't need to-he knew everything that has happened in the past 24 hours for he was there, very much there.
PEACE AT LAST : THE END OF VOLDEMORT!
After years of waiting, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is now being called "Voldemort" all across the country, and he has finally reached his demise. Harry Potter was first believed to be finally killed by Voldemort but turned out to be alive after all, in an unexpected return from the killing curse, as Voldemorts Horcruxes were destroyed, the final of which was his snake, Nagini destroyed by the very brave, true Gryffindor Neville Longbottom. Several former Death Eaters have been captured and sent to Azkaban, among them Antonin Dolohov and Fenrir Greyback. However, some, such as the Lucius Malfoy have switched sides, not wanted to stay in the dark arts. And even more so, some such as the notorious Bellatrix Lestrange have been put to an end, her by the great Molly Weasley. Molly tells us furthermore that Bellatrix's cousin Sirius Black is in fact not the mass murderer he was belived to be and is innocent after all. She has plenty of support from the rest of the Weasley family, current Hogwarts Headmisstress Minerva McGonogall, and Harry Potter himself. Sirius, who died 2 years ago, murdered by Bellatrix Lestrange as he among other members of the formerly secret Order of the Pheonix battled Death Eaters along side Hogwarts students.
Harry stopped reading. Well at least Sirius was proven innocent, Harry thought to himself. But now Harry was thinking about the aftermath of the war, after the battle of Hogwarts, how everything had happened so fast. He though about all of the deaths..Fred..Remus..Tonks..all gone away with Sirius, James, and Lily. He wondered if they were happy in death. He had talked to them recently with the Ressurection stone and Remus had stated something along the lines of "I am sorry that I will never get to know him, but he will grow up knowing why I did what I did" when asked about his son. Teddy Lupin, who would grow up an orphan just like Harry himself. Harry couldn't think of it, and as Teddy's godfather he wanted to make sure that Teddy had the best life he could have, even without parents. Most of all, he wanted Teddy to be loved unlike how he himself had been treated for 10 long years of his childhood.
As the sun faded away and the stars emerged, Harry noticed it was a full moon. He heard a wolf howling, although Harry was almost certain it was only in his head for he missed Remus extensively. Ginny came barging through the door and Harry looked into Ginnys eyes. He saw a tear fall down her face, and he said, "I know," while taking his finger to sofly wipe the tear off her face. They were in Adromada's house now, who was sobbing and told them" Thanks for coming" as quietly as humanly possible. Ginny patted her back out of pity. She told Harry and Ginny that they could take a chocolate frog. Ginny refused, but Harry took one to reveal that he had gotten a Dumbledore card. He remember the first time he got a card from a chocolate frog while on the train with Ron; how it was so much better than his previous life and he wanted to make sure to give a much better life to Teddy than the Durselys ever gave to Harry. Harry was deeply hurt by the death's of Tonks and Lupin. They had meant so much to him, and the least he could do was take care of their only son. They looked over to where Teddy was sleeping, hugging his hippogriff plush, totally unaware that he will never see his parents again. It was a long, grueling night. Teddy's hair flashed colors, mostly turquoise blue and lime green and a muddy brown. It glowed bright a bit as well and Harry was wondering what he was dreaming about, hoping it was as pleasant and innocent as Teddy himself. Harry and Ginny left looking back at Teddy, and then Harry proceeded to scramble over and hug him with as much warmth as he could muster. Adromeda was still sulking in the corner, but she knew that her grandson was to be loved. They took good care of him.
