A/n: I have come to the conclusion that I shall dedicate each chapter to one character. The chapters may be short, which should mean, there should be a lot of chapters. Thank you to Wildtotodile- my first reviewer!! Btw.. how did u come up with the name?
This chapter is Hermione's POV
Chapter 1: The spectacular view of death
I've always wondered if your life flashes before your eyes before you die. No one, not one soul has lived to tell me. Healing potions, spells, charms, all the magic couldn't save the 1190 dead so far. That's the worst bit... further deaths have yet to come.
The 'war' per se is over. But reckless hate doesn't go away with the Dark Lord, reckless hate stays like oxygen being infused into every cell. Reckless hate which leads people to premature deaths. No warnings, just funeral after funeral after funeral.
Young boys who think themselves men, fighting for the right side, ignorantly leaving their families, declaring it for the best. I just think they're declaring their death. Most do not even get to cast a spell.
A week is left before we go back to Hogwarts. I have been away from all my friends. The thought of their... current status, well I do not want to think about it, but I still wonder, how many will be left. How many will be sane enough to begin with. How many now will think that the NEWT's are important. How many now will know the pain of loss?
