Chapter 2: coping with loss
A massive funeral was held for the wizards who died in the attack and Harry. Thousands of wizards arrived to mourn. They littered Harry's corpse- less grave with flowers and other gifts. Nobody doubted it. The wizarding world's champion was dead. In the months that followed, more and more people joined the dark side. Those who remained pure fled to either Beauxbatons or Hogwarts, leaving most belongings behind. There were also a number who fled to Gringotts, only to find the goblins were rebelling. The giants were rebelling too. However, neither the goblins nor the Giants joined Voldemort. It was a war on all fronts. The wizarding world was royally screwed.
But for some reason nobody knew where Harry Potter was. The good thought he was dead, the evil knew nothing either. It is possible he was blown in so many pieces in the explosion that he wasn't found by the ministry, but that wouldn't leave me a very easy story line now would it?
In fact the only other person than Harry himself who knew where he was, was also thought to be dead. Harry was alive all right. He was just having a little training in the old magic by a hermit of a wizard named Merlin.
Merlin was the inventor of the sorcerer's stone. He lived for years in a ruin beneath Camelot for a millennium or so. He took interest in the energy and power Harry had and 'borrowed' him for a little while. Seeing as he had to retrieve him from a crumbling house, Harry probably took a few smacks on the head and now has no recollection of his life before the accident.
The old wizard dusted off his staff. Tomorrow starts Harry's first day of training.
END!
