A/N: Molly's POV. REVIEWS!!!

Disclaimer: see previous chapters(s)

=========================================================================================================

She shouldn't really be missing them. They weren't really hers, not really. Yet she wanted them to be, she felt they should be. Hermione was going to be, if Ron hadn't...and Harry? She looked at them now, and still marveled at how they had changed. Gone was the shy boy who asked her how to get onto platform 9 3/4, gone was the little "bossy know-it-all" Ron used to write her about. They had all grown, inside and outside, too fast really, for her to keep up. She could still hear the twins tease Percy about being Prefect, and picking on "ickle Ronniekins". She could still see the frightened look on Harry's face, even though he tried so hard to conceal it. She could still see, still hear it all. And now, it was over. She was saying goodbye to them again, but differently. For first thing, Ron wasn't with them, as he ought to be. And for another, she might be letting go of her babies forever. What wouldn't she give to see them off to Hogwarts for the first time again? What wouldn't she do to hear Ron's rambling about Hermione all summer, to hear the twins teasing Percy, to hear Hermione lecture Ron and Harry on one thing or another, or to spend time, going over her girlhood with her daughters again.

DaughterS.

Yes, Ginny wasn't her only daughter, yet Hermione was different. She didn't feel the love that she felt with Ginny with Hermione. Yes, she loved Hermione as if she were one of her own. But there was something different. Perhaps because of Ron. She had always a special bond with Ron, her youngest son. And now, that bond had formed between her and Hermione.

And Harry? Harry again, was different from any of her son. A boy with such difficult life with everything upon his shoulders. How many times had she caught him crying at the Burrow? How many times had she tried, however awkwardly, to comfort him? He would cry, telling her things that even himself didn't realize he was feeling. Then the tears would dry. He would be Harry again. So brave, determined, and closed-in. He had never truly open his heart to anyone, she knew that. So many times she had watched him cry on Ginny's shoulder. She knew it was much worst for him than for anyone, to see Sirius die. The only father he had ever known.

Yet he was not alone. There are so many people that suffered loss like he had. Oh how she did know what it was like to lose someone she loved. She had had to let Ron go, never really said goodbye to him, and now, she was letting go another son, another daughter. For three years she had lived in fear, always looking over her shoulders and never knowing if her family was safe. Hogwarts was supposed to be safe, but it had taken her baby boy and lured him into the dark mist, and killed him.

Now, saying goodbye to Harry and Hermione, Molly held Ginny in her arms, and wondered when she would see all her children again.

A/N: This is from Remus's POV. REVIEWS, everyone!!!

Disclaimer: see previous chapters(s)

~*~

Remus Lupin had seen it all. He had seen people being killed, he had seen people being tortured to death, wizards and Muggles alike. He had been in the battle field where so many had left their lives. But today, he stood here, and witnessed the scene of the Great Hall unfold before him, just today he truly realized how stupid and pointless this war was. It tore apart families, it tore apart friends, lovers, it ruined their lives. Remus shuddered. Yes, it tore him away from his friends. His three fellow Marauders, and Lily. They were all gone, only Moony was left, standing alone, watching it all.

Silently Remus cursed Wormtail, he had ruined it all for them. He had betrayed them. He wasn't the Peter who was their friend anymore. He was Wormtail and a Death Eater. A traitor, he sold his best friend's life and his wife and son's lives to Voldemort. He tortured and killed his other best friend right in front of Harry's eyes. And he had left Remus alone.

Remus silently blinked away the tears in his eyes. Remus looked at the three young witches and wizard engulfed in a hug. Four years ago, they had been so carefree, so lively, and now, those children were gone. In their place were full grown witches and wizard.

Harry's shining emerald green eyes, Hermione's sparkling brown pools, and Ginny's warm depths of chocolate brown. That was what Remus remembered of his students' eyes four years ago. but now, they lost their twinkle, their lively dancing light, instead, when Remus looked in their eyes, he saw hatred, hurt, and most of all, sadness. It was incredible how each of them had changed. Harry rarely laughed now, ever since Sirius...and Hermione even less. Hermione wasn't the little 13 year old witch, whose eyes sparkled whenever she answered a question right, the little girl who constantly scowled Ron and Harry about getting into trouble, she wasn't the same clever witch Remus used to teach. And little Ginny. She had always reminded him so much of Lily. That same fiery red hair, that quick temper, the twinkle in her eyes. She was clever yet at the same time devious and mischievous.

All three of them, they didn't deserve this. They were still children, not even out of their teens. And Ron, Ron was always slow to catch, but he was incredibly clever, though the cleverness usually only showed at the chess table. And now, Remus knew, how each of his friends must be feeling. Ron was gone, taken away from them, forever. Like James, Lily, and Sirius were taken away from Remus.

Remus wondered if there will be a time when they will truly be happy. But not here, not on earth, where so many beloved friends were taken away from them. Maybe one day, in the Summerland, they might be united again, to share laughter, memories, and be together. All of them, Remus, James, Lily, and Sirius, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Harry. They will meet again, Remus was sure of it.

A/N: I was going to have two separate chapters for this, but seeing as they are short, I just put them into one. REVIEWS!!?!! In chapter 1 I said this would not be more than 5 chapters, but this is getting a bit longer than I expected. Maybe 6-7 chapters?? they're pretty short chapters anyway!
