-A couple months later-
A sleek white limousine pulled up at the mansion that the anniversary was held at and a tall red stiletto came out of the car along with Ron and Pansy Weasley. The rest of their friends arrived seconds later. Soon, they were waiting for the Malfoys.
A white limousine with a golden M stitched on the side pulled up into the curb. A sleek, diamond encrusted heel came out, followed by Hermione and Draco Malfoy. Reporters swarmed around the war heroes as they appeared. Pansy (as usual) was wearing a medieval style purple dress with an empire waist that complimented her eyes. Ginny wore a red (forever the Gryffindor) one - shoulder French style dress that hugged her every curved and flared out halfway down her calf. Hermione was wearing a dark blue dress studded with diamonds at the waist and free falls down like a waterfall, her diamond jewelry adding to her beauty.
Reporters swarmed her.
"Mrs. Malfoy! How do you feel about being out of your coma?"
"Has your relationship with Mr. Malfoy shaken at all?"
"Mrs. Potter! When will we see another little Potter?"
"Mrs. Weasley! Tell us more about your marriage with Mr. Weasley!"
"Hermione?"
The war heroes walked slowly down a wide path that leads to the mansion. Reporters tried to follow, but the Ministry officials blocked their way. It was then that they noticed that they all had silent tears streaming down their face and they were separating from their dates.
Soon the group was standing in a horizontal line one by one facing the oak doors. They were ordered by their impact in the War (Harry in the middle with Hermione and Ron on each side, Neville next to Hermione, Draco next to Ron, etc). They took a deep breath. Harry counted "one, two, THREE!" They all muttered a spell that shot off into the sky. The reporters watched, fascinated. The spells quickly turned into a magnificent firework that burned forever that said: 1st Anniversary of the 2nd Wizarding War.
Hermione stepped forward bravely and turned to face everyone, silent tears streaming down her face. "Ev - ever since the start of the war, many of us have lost loved ones and friends. This anniversary is especially here to honor all of those who have lost their lives in the war. Weather it's pure bloods, half bloods, muggle - borns, or muggles. These people died making a difference. Th - th - they were willing to sacrifice their life for the cause they believed in. Fred Weasley, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin are just a mere fraction of all those who died for a noble cause. Please join us in honoring all of those who died in the war. We are here today to ce-celebrate and honor all those people who had lost loved ones, and we can all agree that it was a large price to p-p-pay for victory. But be reminded, love conquers all." She resumed her spot.
"O - on three. One, two, THREE!" They let out another magnificent array of fireworks that exploded against the night sky, slowly forming into the faces of all those who died in the war, their faces smiling down at them as they all collapsed, sobbing.
-An hour later-
They all stood silently on the balcony, not wanting to be in a room full of people so they stood silently with each other, a comfortable silence resting in between them as they stared out at the fireworks, some silently crying.
Hermione broke the silence. "Do you think it was worth it?" They all looked at her, questions in their eyes. "Was their lives worth this, this freedom in the end?"
Silence.
"Yes," Harry answered, looking at the smiling face of Lupin as it flashed across the sky. "Freedom always comes with a price." Tears formed in his startling green eyes as he thought about his deceased godfather, friends, and parents.
"And I think they think so too." Pansy said, looking at the twinkling face of Albus Dumbledore.
They all bowed their heads in respect as the faces flashed across the sky one last time, a remainder to all those who fought in the war: victory always comes with a price. The question is, are you willing to pay?
The End.
All done! Please tell me what you think! I want to start another side - along story to this and I'll tell you the name when I post it.
