Band of Brothers
Epilogue
For them it was over. For them the fighting was over and Voldemort was defeated. It is the year 1998 and they are celebrating after Voldemort was defeated by Harry Potter. But there, during the celebration at Hogwarts, he thought back of the pass. He remembered the sad and horrible news about his two best friends that died with honour in the field.
'Another year has finished and I am glad to say that some of us had came home alive. What I am sad to inform you that many students at this school had been killed in one way or another related to the Death Eaters. But the two I would like to talk to you about demonstrated courage like none other.
'These two fought till the end when they knew Death was near. They fought to help save the many lives that could have been lost that day. The two heroes I come to talk to you about are none other that Tom Riddle and Michelle Beaucherie.
'The two will be awarded for their honour the Order of Merlin First Class. Both demonstrated a will like none other to protect someone else regardless of the cost of their own life. They fought determinedly against uneven odds and in the end, were successful. However it cost them their lives.
'Because of them Harry Potter and the Gryffindors and Slytherins are all here today. Today I would like to announce a new date. A date which will live on forever. Today I call it, not Remembrance Day although it should, but Heroes Day. Plain as it seems but remember that those who sometimes don't look like heroes are truly one.'
And that was Dumbledore's speech. Harry remembered when everyone, including the fifth-year Slytherins, applauded and cried. Their bodies were found and were turned to ashes. The ashes were later thrown into the near river around the battleground. The Michelle's Order of Merlin was sent to her crying parents and Tom's went to his parents. Well like Tom said, they'd lose the battle but win the war.
Author's Note: A short ending, quite quick if I say so myself but it's a finish. I'm planning to write this… well not story but something that will clear up the fic. Please review and tell me so because I seriously think that this story, even for me, didn't explain a lot.
