CHAPTER VI – END OF THE STORY

The whole of the night, all of Hogwarts' troops kept purging the castle. There were a few more encounters with some Death Eaters, but they are not worth your time. At the crack of dawn, all the fighters were assembled in the Great Hall. The school had announced an award of five hundred galleons each to all the fighters who had risked their life for the safety of the school. In addition, the Ministry had given all the money gained for the defeat of those Death Eaters to McGonagall, who had equally distributed it among all.

Later that morning, Dumbledore returned to the castle only to find most of it in a shocking state. He found the Order cleaning up the blood and mending the castle, while Flitwick and Minerva were reinstating the protective enchantments.

That afternoon, when Dumbledore had unsuccessfully tried to announce his presence as quietly as possible, he had received a thorough rebuke from the other teachers. He was glad though, that none of them had decided to drive him out of the school, as he had feared.

As usual, the story ends happily. Though only for the good side. By the time I finished this story, I would have taken more than two months. At last, I am just winding it up. I am just out of ideas. If you like it, read my other stories on my profile too.
