CHAPTER ONE.
Silence and Numbness. That's all I can hear and feel in this moment. We did it, we won the battle, defeated Voldemort and his followers. The war is finally over.
I slowly stumble into the great hall and look around and feel myself slipping into space and nothingness, I feel as though that I'm in a dream just observing the room from above.
I can feel myself move towards the group of red hair but can't register the actual movement of my feet until I come to a halt, I look down to the ground to see what's going on only to see the lifeless body of Fred with George and Molly clinging onto him screaming and sobbing into him.
That's the moment it all hits me and I come out of my hazy fog. Screams, cries, yelling bombards my ears as I look around with tears falling in fast streams down my face to see countless bodies laying on the ground with friends and loved ones surrounding them crying in agony and heartbreak.
I see the injured being brought in and moved around by mediwitches, classmates and family members.
I turn my focus back to Fred on the ground and feel my body heave with sobs as I grab onto Ron and pull him into a bone crushing hug.
"He can't be gone 'Mione, he can't, it's Fred, he's just pulling a prank on us." I feel tears hit my shoulder as I hug him as hard as I can while looking over to Harry whose trying to comfort Ginny.
"I know Ron, I know." We stand there for what seems like forever just holding and comforting each other until he breaks the hold and whispers a quiet thank you before going over to Molly to console her.
It's all too much, I slowly make my way out to the courtyard to help search for injured or the dead through all the rubble.
I spot Professor McGonagall sitting down on one of the seats so I make my way over to her, but as I do something catches my eye.
I turn around and see Malfoy standing there looking up at the school with a look in his eye before he turns his head towards me. He looks at me with sadness and regret in his tired eyes.
I catch him mouthing something familiar before quickly turning around and walking off to his mother who is staring right at me. She slowly nods her head before bringing him into her side and disapperating.
