For when the smoke clears from the Battleground

I will be here for you

Harry looked down at the remains of the once Dark Lord Voldemort, but he couldn't rejoice. It was over but the price was so high. So many people died to get to this end. Though they didn't die in vain, they shouldn't have died at all. And so, though the battle was over, though evil was conquered, Harry knew he would know no peace tonight.

When the night falls silent of fire

I will be here for you

It was so quiet. Where once the shouting of curses and shouts rang out, there was only silence. Everyone was in the Great Hall, mourning the dead and rejoicing survivors. The war was over, no more death would see these halls tonight. It was so quiet.

And when the memory becomes to hard to bear

I will be here for you

He stopped at the spot where he saw Fred fall. One minute smiling, the next unseeing as he fell. Harry knew he would never forget Fred's face as he died, never seeing it coming, never knowing he was leaving the world behind, leaving his twin behind. Poor George wouldn't know what to do. Neither did Harry.

When the stars no longer hold solace

I will be here for you

He walked outside, where the majority of the battle had taken place. Debris littered the once-pristine estate and something in Harry broke as he surveyed the battleground. Where lives were lost, where dreams died. Not even the stars, twinkling gently in the black canvas, that could once give him a sense of peace could ease the depth of his pain.

And when your heart knows only pain

I will be here for you

His heart was broken. Broken for the families whose sons, daughters, fathers, mothers and children would never come home. Broken for the loved ones he had lost, yet again. His heart broke from the weight of his guilt, his heart swelled with pain from the role he played in their deaths. It was over. But not for him.

When your days seem long and dark

I will be here for you

The sun broke over the horizon, but the light and sliver of warmth could not penetrate his dark thoughts. He gazed out over the Great Lake, wondering if he would ever feel ok again. Not even the sun could bring light in to his dark, dark world.

And when your heart opens again

I will be here for you

He caught sight of her as she began to walk towards him. She didn't say anything, didn't need to. She knew how he felt, she understood. She came up beside him as he gazed in the distance, following his line of sight. She has suffered losses too. Her brother, her friends. She lay her hand on his arm, and his heart eased slightly. The pressure in his chest rescinded until he didn't feel as if he was going to explode. She didn't blame him, which didn't stop him from blaming himself, but simply reminded him that he was loved.

And when those memories don't hurt as much

I will be here for you

They walked back to the castle, through the debris. This time he didn't see only carnage, he saw a chance to rebuild. To make the foundations stronger, to start over. As they walked through the former battleground, Harry found hope.

And when the days get lighter and the night comes back alive

I will be here for you

He walked to the Great Hall, with Ginny beside him, giving him strength. Before he could walk in, a figure walked out and engulfed him in a hug. The only mother figure he had ever truly known. His heart grew even lighter with this other reminder of love, love for him. And although one of her sons had died that night, which was a pain that could never truly go away, most of her family was in tact, including this boy, the one who saved them all and now needed a little saving himself. She was happy to help.

And when you can love me once more

I will be here for you

Once released, he looked up to see his friends, more so his family, surrounding him with sad smiles. They knew what the victory had cost, and they could share in his pain. He turned to the red headed girl beside him and, without a word, poured his feelings in to her with a simple, passionate, kiss.
