"A gloomy piece this morning with it brings.
The sun for sorrow will not show its head."
At the end of the battle, silence reigned.
The sun had moved behind the perpetually looming clouds.
The ground of the Final Confrontation was barren and empty, filled only with the hollow corpses of the dead.
The Dark, the Dark followers, the Light, and the Light followers, were all slain and fallen.
Night fell swiftly on this field of death, hushed was the moaning wind. Nothing moved until morning.
But when the sun finally made her appearance, so did a slim ray of Hope.
For there, lying amongst the fallen arose three figures. A surviving Trio.
For moments, the three merely stood in the sun, drinking up the light, reveling in Life itself.
Then, slowly and hesitantly, the three turned to face each other.
From where they stood, it was exceedingly difficult to differentiate which side they had been on. But in the light of what had happened, of the massive losses on both sides, such small details seemed to hardly matter anymore.
The girl, well, woman really, made the first move, walking slowly towards the open area, a spot strangely devoid of bodies.
The two boys, men, took her lead and met her there.
For long second, they just stood there, waiting for someone else to speak.
Finally, one of the boys spoke up and offered a hand to the girl.
"Truce Granger?"
The girl hesitated for only a second before replying.
"Certainly Draco, Blaise. What now?"
This is a strange idea that popped into my head and I wanted to try it out. Please tell me what you think and if you think I should continue. If I did, the story would follow the three survivors as they try to go back to normal life.
