Chapter 22: "The end and renewal of the WildFire"
Who made up all the rules?
We follow them like fools.
Believe them to be true.
Don't care to think them through.
Do you see what I see?
Why do we live like this?
Is it because it's true
that ignorance is bliss.
Who are they?
And where are they?
And how do they
know all this?
And I'm sorry so sorry.
I'm sorry it's like this.
Jem "They"
Helen stood very close to Harry beside the platform where Dumbledore was making his speech.
"Thank you all for coming to this memorial service on behalf of those who are no longer physically with us, but remain in our hearts."
Helen looked down at the soundless crowd.
"...and the death toll is as follows: Hannah Abbot, Tori Baker..."
She could feel Harry squeeze her hand under the sleeve of her black dress robe.
"...Paige Larson, Bellatrix Lestrange, Remus Lupin, Ernie Macmillan, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy..."
Draco looked at her blankly. The news had hit him very hard.
"And those injured are as follows..."
Ron, who had been released from St.Mungos, was comforting Hermione.
"Now a word from Mr. Harry Potter,"
Helen nodded to Harry as Dumbledore took his place beside her.
"I'm sure many of you are wondering what happened a week ago...and more importantly you want to know how Voldemort was finally destroyed for good..."
Helen closed her eyes and willed the tears not to fall from her eyes.
"...and you may think now that Voldemort is gone that all will be at peace but it never will be. There will always be wizards out there who want to destroy and dominate over all that is good. The only chance we have is to stick together and get rid of all the stupid 'pure' and 'dirty' blood nonsense. Understanding of each other is dire!"
Too late. The tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"How can things go back to the way they once were before the fear and doubt? Things will never be the same and we can make that a good thing. The magical world can make our community even better than before..."
Everyone was paying close attention to what he had to say and once that was done he was greeted with applause.
"And finally before you go, here is Helen Cliff," Harry gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder before stepping down.
"As you all know," Helen began, "today is the last day of the school year. Hogwarts has been around for hundreds of years and recent events will not change that. My guardian, Professor Albus Dumbledore, will remain headmaster of the school. Our new minister of magic assures us that the Azkaban guards are replaced by wizards and witches and the ministry removed the threat of future attacks on the school. They have also broadcasted on television a powerful memory charm for the muggle victims who survived the dragon and giant attacks. On a personal note I would like to say...none of you are alone. Everyone, muggle or magic alike, has been affected one way or the other. As a wise man once said...'Help will always be available to those who ask for it'..."
-----------------------------------
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Helen, Pansy, and Draco sat together in the compartment for their last train ride on the Hogwarts Express.
"Quite an eventful year..."Pansy whispered. When no one answered Helen spoke up.
"And being our last time at Hogwarts...without Voldemort...it's like we really are making a new start."
"What are you going to do, Potter?" Draco asked.
"I dunno. Get myself a quiet place by the Auror's training center. I got my letter already."
Helen nodded. She hadn't told Draco yet, but she had passed the Ministry tests as well and was accepted to learn how to become an Auror.
"What about you Ron?"
"I'm staying at Pansy's place for a while before I decide what to do. I insisted Hermione do the same but--"
"I'm staying with Harry when I'm not studying. I hope to be a professor. But Helen...your house was..."
"Destroyed. I know. Since Mrs. Baker is dead there's no reason to go back to the States anyway."
"What about Kevin?"
"He and Neville are both becoming Healers here, remember?"
"So you're going to buy your own place?"
"Actually," Draco cut in, "she'll be at the mansion with me while I try to convince her not to become an auror."
"You know about that?" Helen looked up at Draco in surprise.
"I know you! That's the only job you'd ever consider but it's dangerous and you've gotten injured so much already. I'm afraid of what else might happen to you. You could be killed...or lose limbs..."
The train lurched to a stop at King's Cross Station.
"Oh my God."
"This is it..."
"We're all going separate ways..."
Helen and Hermione started sobbing as they all got together into a group hug.
"We have to stick together."
"Keep in touch."
"Visit each other during the summer."
"Promise?" Helen sniffed.
Five other promises echoed in the compartment and marked the beginning of an everlasting friendship between the six friends: Harry, Hermione, Ron, Pansy, Helen, and Draco. Cheers to them.
A/n: So that's it. Holy Lord I can't believe it's finished. If you have any questions just leave it in the review and I'll answer them in another post or something. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who's been reading this story. I never would have finished it without you guys.
