Neville looked around at his home; Hogwarts. It was broken down into pieces, sand, and dust. How could one battle cause so much damage? Neville asked himself.

He couldn't go in the Great Hall, he couldn't bear to see the dead bodies of his friends and even foes.

He closed his eyes for one second; remembering each good time in Hogwarts, but none came to his head. No memories chagrined him; he wanted remember Hogwarts-strong, beautiful, together.

However, other memories came to his mind, the first time he stepped foot in Hogwarts, when he heard that Bellatrix Lestrange was dead, and all the mini-battle that happened during the big battle. Seeing his friends fight, seeing them battle through every curse.

Other images came to his mind, death. All the deaths that happened, he knew and saw. He went in the Great Hall once, and he regretted it. The lifeless form of Remus and Tonks-who were parents, but weren't now. The tiny bloodless form of Colin Creevy-so innocent, so dead. The Weasley family, Fred was dead. Fred, the prankster, the fun-loving, and risk taker was gone. His best friend and brother was still alive. A tear escaped from Neville's eye, how he wish everyone could still be alive-his friends.

Hogwarts was dead. No one could believe it, they would have to rebuild every inch of Hogwarts, and create new memories. New memories, Neville thought. He liked like the sound of that, new memories to be created in Hogwarts.

A genuine smile crept across Neville's face-he knew Hogwarts would never be dead. It will welcome anyone with open arms.
