Before I get on with the story I would Like to say this made me extremely emotional to write this! It's beautiful in a way and also quite sad. In the last installment of this incredible story we saw a glimpse of a magical afterlife after Harry goes to confront Voldemort. This is my take on what the wizarding afterlife could be like. This is what my story Always and Forever is about. I can't wait to see what everyone is up to! I hope you enjoy! I will make updates! (;
-Chapter 1-The End is only the beginning-
"Dad!" Voices rung from seemingly very far away. Harry's vision was blurred but he would recognize the voices of his children anywhere. "Grandpa!?" Higher pitched voices shrieked. Harry knew this to be his Grandchildren and his Great-grandchildren. He tried to move to them and answer their calls. He found that he was paralyzed and mute. Something was very wrong! His vision blurred more and his Family's desperate cries for him were becoming fainter. He felt so incredibly weak. What had happened? Where they in danger? Harry just now noticed how feeble his breathing was. His heart that had served him well for the last 100 years was now slow and weak. He fought harder than ever. He had no success he still laid completely still. Harry grew steadily weaker. And then all at once everything ended...
His eyes leapt open letting a blinding light reach them. Harry sat up with a quickness that he hadn't been able to muster in sometime. He looked around searching for his family. He was surrounded by nothing but white fog. James?Lily?Albus?"Harry called. His children did not appear or reply. "Lucy?Archie?Atlas?Aria?Belle? Max? Stella?Maria? Lewis?"Harry called the combined mixture of great grandchildren and grandchildren with a noticeable urgency. He stood and began to walk with ease through the small clearing with the ominous fog on each side...
Splash!
Harry felt something wet pelt against his clothing. He looked down and saw his reflection in a small pool of water-no this wasn't his reflection it couldn't be! The reflection was a young man with dark messy hair and and green almond shape eyes--wait this was him! Harry's reflection looked like a mixture of him in his Hogwarts years and when he was a young father. His hair was no longer thin and white. His eyes were bright with life new life. Harry placed a hand on his face. His skin was smooth and without wrinkles. And then something clicked. He was dead! Memories came flooding back. His children had admitted him into Saint Mungo's earlier that day due to the fact he was having severe labored breathing. Not much later people were hurrying around him as he laid in his hospital bed. The panic in there voices was unnerving to say the least. It all made sense now. When he used the resurrection stone in the forest so many years ago his family rose from the grave. Harry remembered how Sirius looked much younger,happier. Is that what had happened to him? Was his features now a mixture of the times he was happiest? It seemed like a good theory to him. It explained a lot. Even though he no longer had a heart beat he felt very much alive! He smiled softly. He felt good.
A strange peace flooded over Harry. He had lived a great long life beside all his friends and family. He had many adventure in his time. He always regaled his grandchildren without stories of his said adventures. Ginny,Ron and Hermione had all died about a year ago it took a real tole on Harry. He felt like he in a way had died with them. And now he had a new adventure in uncharted water for him. A buzz of excitement over took Harry something he hadn't felt in a long time. He had a new beginning! A new life-er afterlife! A huge grin crossed his face. He let out a bark like laugh. He was truly relived. He thought of his family he hoped they would not mourn him to greatly he was happy now--
"Harry?" A voice interrupted Harry's thought. A wind of slight relief hit him he was not completely alone. That would be quite awful being alone forever. "HARRY!" The ominous voice shouted with more confidence. Two other voices joined in. "It's really him!" Harry turned towards the source of the sound was coming from. Three figures were running through the clearing towards. Two of them were woman one was a man. As they grew closer Harry was able to recognize them! One of the woman was Ginny her red hair flowing behind her. The other woman was Hermione her brown bushy hair bouncing as she ran. And the man was Ron! He had a huge grin on his face which could be seen for a mile away. All four of them were much younger versions of themselves than the last time he had seen them. They all looked about graduate age.They all piled on Harry as soon as they got close enough. All four of them were laughing wildly and had tears streaking down their faces. "I--" Harry said thickly. "I didn't think I would see you guys again!" Harry kissed his wife and brought his best friends in for another hug. "You wish!" Ron said. "You can't get rid of us that easily, Mate!" Ron smiled ear to ear. "We better get going,Harry!" Hermione chirped. "I'm sure everyone will be eager to see you!" Harry glanced at her for a second. "Everyone?"Harry asked. Hermione nodded "We better get going then!" Ginny grabbed Harry's hand and led him into the white fog. As soon as they breached the fog Harry felt a breeze hit his face. It looked just like the living world Harry just left. Hundreds of people were running scattered around this beautiful place. Harry was gaping at it all. He watched children run through the tall grass giggling excitedly. "This is incredible!" Harry beamed. "Just-wow!" Hermione and Ginny giggled. They walked down a familiar cobblestone road with houses on each side.It was Godrics Hallow!
"Here we are!" Ginny said. They were standing in front of a cozy cottage. And then he realized this was the Potter's cottage! It was different than the last time he had seen it. meaning the house wasn't blown to bits. As they walk down the front path voices could be heard from within. Hermione knocked and the door magically flung open. Harry froze. This was all so overwhelming. If he had a heart beat it would pounding like a drum. "Come on, Hon!"Ginny grabbed Harry's hand. Holding hands with her gave him all the courage in the world. She then led him through the front door...
