Harry was exhausted after the war but couldn't risk sleep. He and the Weasleys along with Hermione were refusing Madam Pomfrey's dreamless sleep inducing potion. 'Fine!' Said Madam Pomfrey not for the first time, 'Fine if you want to stay awake!' 'stay awake all night if wish!'
'Madam Pomfrey,' said Hermione soothingly,' Please rest for a while I will tend to your patients' said Hermione when she tried to interrupt. 'I'll help too' said harry and ron both at once. 'but-' 'we'll all help' said Mrs. Weasley, 'after all we need something to keep busy with.' everyone agreed and George went straight ahead to nurse Angelina Johnson who was bleeding profusely. Mrs. Weasley took the lot to an open space (the hospital wing being broken) and conducted everyone to do certain tasks. 'Harry dear please fetch me a stock bandages and dittany, thank you dear, oh and Hermione dear please help Professor Slughorn prepare the potions, you are kind dear. Ron! Don't just hang around summon a few stretchers and Fred! You –' and she burst out in tears. Bill ran up to her and tried to console her. The day passed in quick succession of shouts, orders and rants.
Mrs. Weasley quickly wrapped up the lot and the house elves prepared quite a feast. Harry's mind raced over and over trying to believe that Voldermort was dead.
Professor McGonagall had transfigured the rubble into sleeping bags and everyone exept harry and the Weasleys were asleep. 'Either they were asleep', thought harry, 'or pretending really well.'
A sharp cry of pain pierced the night air and harry got up to see Hermione who had not taken the potion along with harry and the Weasleys was screaming. Before he could reach to her she was hugged desperately by ron who was near her in no time. Harry knew that the Weasleys were listening as Hermione gre calmer in ron's embrace and not wanting to interrupt this moment Harry went back too, his mind racing with the memories of Ginny.
The next morning he and the rest of the survivors were busy repairing the castle and grounds. He and Ginny together began repairing the Gryffindor tower. Harry's one hand was holding his wand and other holding Ginny hand. He found that her presence soothed him immensely. In the morning the announcement was made that Professor Minerva McGonagall was the new headmistress and Kingsley Shacklebolt was the minister of magic. Harry knew that elation would come soon but now there was no hurry…
this is just an account of two days so there is more to come.
