The Prophecy of the Phoenix- chapter 17
Standing on the front steps of Hogwarts alone Albus Dumbledore waits. "Dad why are you waiting for her, she is gone you knew she wouldn't be back, we have spent our lives preparing and excepting that I had thought you had too." Elizabeth Granger said quietly. She was your daughter and my granddaughter no matter what I prepared for the ache is still there. Not just for her but for Severus too." He said weakly. "You know how I feel about that, he is too old for her and not that it matters anyway she is gone, we must accept that. It was the price we had to pay to defeat Voldemort." She says turning to walk back to the celebration in the great hall. Albus watched his daughter walk back to the celebration. Witches and wizards from all over had been sending owls since the end of the battle informing them of there lost loved ones showing up or being healed. Neville and Harry both had yet to hear from there loved ones. Even thou the celebration went one there were though few who mourned the loss of Hermione greatly. Glancing down at the distant figure walking around the lake he whispered "Ah Severus if I could take away the pain I would, but I can't for my own is just a great." Turning he walked thru the doors and then up to his private rooms.
Walking around the lake blinded by tears, Severus couldn't go back to the castle, she would be there in memory, and he couldn't kiss a memory. "They all get back there loved ones and I lose my only love. Is this my punishment, am I to feel her being ripped from me, everyday for the rest of my life." He screamed falling to his knees letting the pain wash thru him like a raging storm that was devouring his soul. He didn't hear her call his name, didn't notice the two men with her. "Severus, Shhh let the tears come it will be alright." She said sweetly in a songlike voice. "Lily whats wrong with him?" James Potter asks looking at his wife rocking Severus back and forth. "We need to get him to his rooms." Lily said turning to look at her husband and best friend one Sirius Black. The three helped the potions master to his feet and toward the secret door to the dungeons. Lifting the wards Lily with the help of James put Severus to bed. "Sirius you should go up awhile Remus will be worried will be right behind you." James said as he walked his friend to the doorway. Moving away from Severus Lily walked to her husband and said; well I believe we have a son waiting on us." Smiling the two left the dungeons and headed for the great hall.
Reaching the great hall Lily reached for James hand, "James our son is a grown man, what if he doesn't need his mother anymore?" Lily said as a stray tear fell down her cheek. "Our son will never be too old to need his mother" James said squeezing Lily's hand and pulling her thru the doorway to the celebration with in.
Laughter filled the great hall were only earlier that day it was filled with screams of death. They had lost a dear friend and a head girl, feeling this loss they knew that this is what she gave her life up for so they would laugh again, feel love, and most of all live. As happy as Harry and Ron were they felt her lose greatly and the two young men stood of to the side forcing fake smiles and wishing they could share this with there best friend. Neither boy noticed the two adults enter the room, but the eerie quite finally reach with in there sorrow and both boys couldn't believe who stood before them. "Well Harry do you have a hug for your mum? Lily said smiling at her son. Running to his parents Harry broke down in sobs, both of happiness and sadness. "Shhh I'm here now, I'll never leave you again" she said rocking her son in her arms. After what seemed forever Harry was able to look at his mum and dad and for all that were present Harry Potter the boy who lived had finally found happiness. Realizing that the whole hall was now staring at some other commotion in the great hall Harry noticed that not only had he gotten his parents and Sirius back but Neville's parents had just walked thru the great hall doors with his grand mother in toe.
Minerva watched as all the families were brought back together and noticed that her husband was not with them. Slowly walking towards the hall she went in search of him. After a brief search of there living chamber she headed for his office, upon reaching it she could hear things hitting the floor. "Albus are you alright?" she called pushing open the door to see books all over the floor and her husband looking thru a large volume book and the adding it to the pile on the floor. "Albus what are you doing?" she said coming to stand at his desk. "My dear I'm looking for a way to bring our granddaughter back." He said with out looking up adding another book to t he floor. "But you your self said it's impossible, how will be able to bring her back and if we do how can we separate her and Fawkes?" Minerva asked picking up a few of the books off the floor and sitting them in a pile. "I don't know but if it takes me forever I will bring her back." Albus said tossing another book to the floor.
