Harry just did it, defeated Tom Riddle. Good overcame evil. They did it; they did it so those who died would not die in vain. So Fred, Lily, James, Lupin, Tonks, Mad-Eye, Dumbledore, Sirius, Colin, Cedric, Severus Snape, and Dobby did not die for nothing. They died heroes. Tears were streaming down Ginny's face, she could not believe it. The past twenty four hours had been the worst ones of her life, but lying thirty feet before her lie the evil body of Tom Riddle, and Harry stood not too far away from him staring at the ground. There was silence then everyone took off into a sprint towards Harry, their savior. Ginny fought her way through the crowd and gave Harry, the boy she loved a quick hug. They made eye contact for about five seconds but it was enough to read his expression which was heartbreaking, as if he was saying sorry.
After all this, Ginny realized that Harry was her soul mate. When she saw him lying there dead no more than twenty minutes ago, she felt as if she lost a part of herself. Ginny realized it years ago, that they were just right for each other. But all she could think about right now was these simple words: Harry is alive. Hallelujah.
Although, she still felt numb. Ginny still had not come to terms with her brother gone forever, or Lupin, or Tonks, or Colin. As she hugged her mother who was crying hysterically, the pain had not hit Ginny yet. It was there, only time would heal the wounds she got. But what was numbing her pain at least for a little while was: Harry is alive. Hallelujah.
