The next day Dumbledore gave the eulogy for Harry's funeral. "In the time that I knew Harry Potter, he was very strong, he had a talent for getting into trouble. He always had that smile, that will to help his friends, until he lost his godfather, he had that smile. He still helped his friends until he died. But for the last two years of his life, he had lost the will to live. He was a true Gryffindor, brave, willing to put his life on the line for his friends. He knew he had to defeat Voldemort and he did. The Gryffindors should be proud, but they have lost a great friend." As Dumbledore gave this speech his hands shook, and he had tears streaming freely down his face, but he kept his voice strong and clear, so as to give the rest of the crowd some comfort. "I believe Miss Granger would like a few words, on behalf of all the Gryffindors." With that Hermione stood up, looking the same as Dumbledore did, maybe worse.
"Harry was the truest friend any of us could have asked for. He was always there when we needed a hand with homework or anything. He was a Quidditch star in every year. I believe I speak for everyone when I say we loved him, and we will miss him. Thank You." Hermione then couldn't stand any more, she ran down the aisle to the door, opened it and sank down onto the stone steps of the cathedral and cried. Ron got up and went to sit with her, silent tears on his own face. By now, everyone was crying in one way or another. The Weasley's were all crying identically. Lupin also said a few words. "When Harry died, I was devastated, I believe everyone who knew him personally was. He looked just like his father, but he had the personality of Sirius. He was a true Marauder, but he always broke the rules to protect his friends, he was a true Gryffindor that way." Lupin found he couldn't say anymore. His voice was breaking as he said everything, and his body was paralyzed with sadness.

In heaven, a general party was going on. Harry really wanted to get back. Maybe he could go as a ghost. So, he asked his parents what their thoughts were. "We would have gone back fourteen years ago, but with Voldemort they said everyone was to stay. They didn't want the ghosts getting killed along with the humans. Ghosts can't come back up here once they are changed, and if a ghost gets killed again," Lily shuddered at the thought. "They just fade away." James spoke up since his wife couldn't continue. "Maybe since you destroyed Voldemort, maybe they would let us go." James then led Sirius, Harry, and Lily up the escalator to the Ghost department. He asked the clerk at the desk whether Voldemort was destroyed, and if they all could go back as ghosts. "You can go back now, but you will have to wait until tomorrow. You will be back in your ghost forms tomorrow." The clerk said. Everyone then yelled in joy. They could go back. That night, they would contact their friends; they could join the last Marauder once again.
Lupin and Dumbledore went home after the funeral. Dumbledore would be staying with Remus until he got over the tremendous loss. It was then that Dumbledore saw it rather than heard it. He saw one tiny star twinkling in the night sky. It seemed to be a message of some sort, it was in Morse code. What it translated was this:
'Dumbledore, it's James, Lily, Harry and Sirius. We can come back as ghosts; we will be there tomorrow. Please don't tell Remus just yet. I know he has suffered larger loss in not being able to save the three people he loved most. He must be overwhelmed with a terrible sadness. He doesn't have to know yet; we can go to him when we get there. Thank You.'
James, Lily, Sirius, and Harry
They were coming back. He could ask them why it took so long to come back tomorrow. For now he just got up and went to bed. "You should get some sleep, Remus. I'll make you some dreamless sleep potion if you'd like." Dumbledore told him. Remus was just staring aimlessly into the fire. He tried to get to bed, he tried to sleep, but he was completely overcome by dreams of Harry. Dreams, more like nightmares, he was deeply affected by the loss, more than even he knew.
Dumbledore knew that Harry and the rest would arrive that night. So he left for the Ministry to tell them of Voldemort's defeat. Remus had stopped eating altogether since the funeral. That was a week ago, he looked so thin, he could barely even stand up. He knew Remus wanted to die, he couldn't stop him, but he had to try. He tried to reason with Remus, that if he died, who would be there for Ron and Hermione, they still needed him. Remus told him he didn't want help, but he needed it. He was so affected by his loss that he thought the only way to really be with the Marauders was to kill himself. Dumbledore knew that if Remus killed himself, he wouldn't come back as a ghost. He had to tell him, if he knew, maybe he could still save himself. "They reached me the night of the funeral, they are coming back as ghosts." He said. Remus smiled at this, the first real smile since Harry died. He could see them again. He finally started to eat something, and he when Harry, Sirius, James, and Lily's ghosts walked through that door tonight, he would be there.
Later that night,
Harry's ghost walked through the door, literally. That was a great thing about being dead. Dumbledore, Remus, and everyone were waiting for them. "I finally had to tell Remus you were coming back, I didn't want to bug him with hope, but he was slowly killing himself. I had to tell him." Dumbledore spoke up when he saw them. They all were finally together. A real family, and for the first time in two years, Harry felt really happy.
THE END
