Once again. You know what is mine and what isn't

Enjoy!


The next morning was a dark and overcast day. The whole earth was shedding it's tears over the fallen warriors. Harry didn't know if he could handle it. He hardly felt worthy of speaking the eulogy, much less speak at all. But he was the Chosen One. The wizard who saved the wizarding world and destroyed Voldemort.

And so he was the one chosen to speak.

As he leaned over the sink in the steam filled bathroom. He felt despair creep over him. His body felt heavy as he wrapped the towel around his waist and walked to Ron's bedroom. He quickly dressed in the robes he had bought the day before. And headed down to breakfast. He was surprised to see everyone there, even Fred's ghost which now approached him.

"Harry, I want to speak to you in private." Then he disappeared through the wall. Harry followed him to the living room and stopped where Fred floated. As he sat down on the couch he looked at the see-through version of Fred and waited for him to speak.The ghost hesitated to speak at first than he floated on the coffee table in front of Harry.

"Harry, I have a favor to ask of you." When Harry nodded, the ghost continued. "You are going to give the eulogy…well I know it's going to be weird but I want you to leave me out of it. It would be just too weird to have you of all people honor me as if I am gone. After all I am still floating around."

Harry looked at him. "Fred, you fought and died along with everyone else. You deserve to be honored along with everyone else." Fred shook his head. "I don't care about any of that. All I want out of this is to be sure my body is properly buried. I know it will eventually turn to dust but I don't want some filthy death eater desecrating it."

Harry nodded. "That shouldn't be a problem. The only people who will have access are me and the other members of DA. I will personally be watching the bodies being carried in. Yours is supposed to be buried next to Remus and Tonks. And if you really want me to, I will not mention you in the eulogy."

Fred nodded. "Thanks Harry."

Just then Ginny came walking in. Fred noticed Harry smile at his not so little sister. As he got up Ginny stood on her tip toes and gave Harry a loving kiss on the lips. "Mum says we are going to leave now."

The memorial was held at Hogwarts. A mausoleum had been built there to house the bodies. It was crafted by magic and magic would guard it. The tomb in which the Professor had been laid to rest had been desecrated by the evil lord Voldemort and so was destroyed. Now the professor's body had been laid on a stone dais in the middle of the mausoleum. The dais was the tallest structure in the room. Around it little crypts had been built in to house the bodies. The door stood open ready to receive it's eternal inhabitants.

Dumbledore's Army had volunteered to levitate the bodies. Ron stood ready. The bodies were each wrapped in beautiful cloth. Ginny stood next to her brother awaiting the grim duty. Harry went to the podium and paused to compose himself. Then when he found his strength. He lifted his head and made eye contact with every one of the mourning family members.

"Today, I stand here sharing in your grief. In the battle to defeat The Dark Lord Voldemort, these people we remember today gave their lives fighting evil. Professor Severus Snape was a brilliant potions master. From the first I thought he was evil. Every time some thing bad happened I thought he was the cause. There was a time he was part of the death eaters and he did horrible things. But after the death of my parents Lily and James Potter. He saw his error and from then on he worked to protect me from Voldemort. He risked his life to be a spy in the cause of good. It was through him I learned the final step to defeat Voldemort. And for that I am truly grateful.

Remus and Nymphadora Lupin were brave people. Remus Lupin was a brilliant teacher.and if it weren't for him I would not have been successful in defeating the dementors. Because of him I learned everything I needed to know about defeating the dark arts. Nymphadora Tonks Lupin was his wife. I didn't know her for that long. Both she and Remus were members of the Order Of the Phoenix. Late last year they were married and 9 months later they welcomed their first born, Teddy Lupin... my Godson into the world. They died side by side in the final battle. They will never see their son grow up...and become a man. They sacrificed everything fighting the dark lord. For as long as I live I will always be in their debt.. He was a werewolf and still a good man. I will truly miss him."

After saying this he paused. "At this time I would like to honor those who died in the event leading up to the final battle. Cedric Diggory was the first to die. He was murdered before my eyes by Peter Pettigrew, the same foul man that betrayed my parents. Above everything he was fair and modest.

Sirius Black was my godfather. And the last link I had to my family. He died in a duel against his cousin and evil witch, Bellatrix Le Strange/ He was falsely accused of murder. And now at this moment I can tell you that he was an innocent man as well as being one of my father's best friends.

Professor Dumbledore was the next to go. He believed in my innocence and defended me. Before he died he gave me knowledge that started me on the path to victory.

"Alastor Moody, also known as 'Mad Eye' Moody was a skilled auror. He died in the effort to safely get me to the burrow. It wasn't the first time he rescued me. He also helped me escape when I was trapped in my house.

Colin Creevy was a big fan of mine. I wish that he had stayed away form the fight. but he fought bravely none the less and as a result he died. He was brave beyond his years. I know that there were many more people who died along with my frinds that night. Many more than I can name and some I didn't even know. My heart feels very heavy especially for those students that were barely of age. They didn't have to fight but they did and as a result they have lost the chance to live the rest of their lives.

It is all because of their sacrifice that the rest of us can sleep safely, and I will always be indebted to them."

With those words he bowed his head in respect, turned and walked down the steps of the platform, and walked to where the rest of the army waited. He stood by what he knew to be Snape's body and pulled out his wand and pointed it at the body.

"Levi corpus!"

The body floated up to Harry's waist. It followed him to the crypt closest to the dais. Harry floated it as carefully as he could and watched as it was slid into the little crypt. When it was inside. Harry closed the lid. Then he placed a seal on it. He stood before it and spoke to it.

"Professor, I owe my life to you many times over. I am sorry I ever doubted you." Then he stood and watched as George and Ron did the same to Fred's body. Ginny and Hermione carried Nymphadora in but they waited and then Neville and Luna came in with Remus' body. He was put in first then Tonks was placed carefully next to him.

For the next hour, the bodies of the heroes of Hogwarts were carried in and place in their respective crypts. The last to go in was that of Harry's faithful fan. Collin. Harry personally levitated it and placed it in the last one. Once all the bodies were inside. He, followed by the rest of Dumbledore's Army walked out. They stood guard as the mourners were allowed inside for the last time.

All this time Ginny stayed by his side. Once all of them were gone. The mausoleum was sealed shut, never to be opened again. On the door there was a list of all the names of people that were buried there. Then with all the people standing the new minister of magic uttered a spell that would keep the vault from ever being opened again. As the guests left Andromeda Tonks came up to Harry carrying his godson.

Harry greeted the older witch and for the first time was introduced to the six moth old child. Harry smiled as the infant was placed in his arms. He was a beautiful boy. Harry noticed that Teddy had his father's eyes and his mother's ability to change her looks as the baby's hair kept changing from brown to turquoise. Teddy's eyes locked onto his godfather's eyes as Harry spoke to him.

"Hello, Teddy."

The baby cooed in response

"How are you doing?"

The baby kicked his feet.

"That's great. Hey if you ever need me tell your grandmother to send me an owl, ok?"

The baby cooed again.

Everyone was smiling, watching the infant and his godfather have the conversation.

"Okay, Teddy, I am going to hand you back to you grandmother now. And I will visit you when I get the chance. Ok?"

The baby smiled at him. As Harry handed the baby back to Andromeda, he said, "I mean it. If Teddy needs anything please don't hesitate to owl me."

The older woman smiled at him. "I am so glad that my daughter and her husband chose you to be his godfather and yes, if Teddy needs anything I will definitely owl you."

With that he watched them leave. Then the four friends walked up to the place where the names where inscribed. Harry placed his hand where Tonks and Remus names were inscribed. Then he silently shed tears for them. Again Ginny was there for him. She lovingly stroked his back and spoke loving words to him until he could move again.

Inside his heart his love and appreciation for Ginny grew. Here was a woman that waited for him and though he was a wreck she patiently stood by him. This is the woman he knew he would never let go. As he turned to go he looked down at her. Mouthing the words, "I love you."

As they turned to leave he saw Fred and George approach a silently sobbing woman that Harry quickly identified as Angelina Johnson. They talked for a few minutes than they left together. Harry was curious about what was going on. But he didn't say anything and left with the rest of the family.

Night came quicker than everyone expected. That night as Harry headed up to bed he heard someone quietly crying. He paused to figure out who it was. He followed the sound to Ginny's room.

It was Ginny. She was curled up in the middle of her bed whimpering. Harry was almost surprised at this. As he looked around he noticed that Hermione wasn't there. Then he silently approached her bed and placed a knee on the mattress. Leaning over he silently touched her shoulder. Her crying ceased as she rolled on to her back. She hurriedly wiped her tears when she saw who it was.

Harry didn't wait for permission as he crawled to her side. She allowed herself to be held in his lap. As he stroked her head he said. "Ginny you've been trying to be brave…please don't. I know you feel the loss I do, and I know you've been putting all your efforts into comforting me. But now if you need to cry go ahead. I won't think any less of you. Maybe now is a good time to let out. I won't leave your side."

He held her close as she began to quietly sob. And Harry said nothing but gently stroked her and whispered to her how much he loved her until she fell asleep in his arms.

In the darkness as she lay asleep he whispered, "Beautiful angel, everything will be okay. Just wait and see."

Okay that will be the last sad chapter for a while. More fluff to come!
