Chapter 53

Orion looked around at the destruction and devastation surrounding them. People were sobbing over the unmoving forms of their family and friends who didn't make it. He cried as he saw too many familiar faces. The Weasley's were crowded around a couple hospital beds. Charlie Weasley was dead and Mr. Weasley was badly injured but looked like he would make it. Harry was sitting next to Tonks, who was injured. Luna was bleeding, but trying to comfort Ginny. Neville was laying on one of the beds and breathing heavily. Orion moved over to him.

"Neville." The boy looked up into his friends eyes sadly. "Are you alright?"

"My grandmother… she didn't make it." Orion placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Neville."

"Seamus, Dean, Lavender, and Lee are dead." He said quietly. Hermione gasped and clung to Orion's shirt. "So is Alicia, and Angelina." They all looked over to Fred who was staring into space sadly. He lost his fiancé and two of his brothers in the same day. When they looked that way they saw Dennis Creevey crying next to a hospital bed with Colin in it.

"I'm so sorry Neville. I'll come back and check on you soon. If you want, when you can, you can join us in the hospital wing. We need to get to Elizabeth and Emmett." Neville nodded and stood.

"Let's go, I can't be in here anymore." They all headed out of the Great Hall and towards the hospital wing. They were joined by Harry and Tonks as they got into the Entrance Hall.

"Where are you three going?" Tonks asked worriedly.

"Hospital Wing." Hermione said as they kept walking. Harry and Tonks followed them to see their godchild. When they walked in they were greeted by the sight of Minerva and Rolanda holding the four month old babies. Hermione ran forward and took Elizabeth in her arms while Orion took Emmett. They stood next to each other and communicated with their children. "It's over now." Hermione whispered to her children. Emmett was giggling at a ball of golden fire floating around their heads that Orion had created. Their family was finally back together again. They were soon joined by Fleur, Rosalyn, Gabrielle, Luna, Ginny and the rest of the Weasley's, and Draco Malfoy was standing in the corner looking at the family.

"Malfoy…" Orion looked up at him. "Get over here with the rest of your family." He said sternly, but was smiling. Draco shuffled his feet nervously. "You chose us Draco." He continued. "You need family Draco and I would be proud to consider you my brother. You stood against Voldemort and his Death Eaters with the rest of us. Now come here." Draco moved over to them and Neville patted his shoulder with a smile.

So after this there is just an epilogue, as much as I've enjoyed writing this story, I'm sort of happy it's over so I don't get these poor characters into any more trouble lol. Although there is always a chance of a sequel. In fact, I really do plan on a sequel at some point.
