The Ones We Love Chapter 1: Prologue

It happened right after Harry's 18th birthday. He came home earlier that day, because Ron and Hermione had something special planned for him. A late birthday present.

He walked into his apartment, grinning. He heard the voices coming from the living room.

He was ready for his surprise. But he was not ready for what was about to happen.

Bunch of Aurors were in the room. He spotted Ron on the floor… crying? Next to him, lying on the floor, was a body. A female body.

"Oh my God…", he thought, making his way towards his best friend.

The red-headed boy raised his head and started sobbing again.

A wave of nausea washed over Harry. There, on his carpet, was his friend- Hermione Granger. Her brown eyes were wide open and… lifeless. Dead. She was dead.

Harry fell on his knees next to Ron and pulled him into a tight hug. He felt a familiar burning sensation in the corners of his eyes.

He yelled, demanding an explanation.

The Aurors told him that a group of Deatheaters had apparated in order to kill him, but found Ron and Hermione instead. Ron's been knocked unconscious and Hermione killed.

Tears fell freely from Harry's emerald green eyes. Someone was dead and once again it was his fault…
