It was ten years to the day since Remus died. Harry looked around the great hall that day all the students from the year of the final battle. The great hall wasn't full even as the order was there too. Empty Chairs marking the absence of greatly missed friends such as Ginny Weasly, she had died a month before the final battle.

The order and DA had defended Diagon Alley when Crabbe and Goyle senior had double teamed her, sending the killing curse at her back. The seat in which Ron should have been seated in was empty as well, he had joined his older brother Percy on the dark side and became a death eater.

It was the first time they could remember the dead together. Even Peeves seemed to mourn the lost children. The head table held two empty seats, for Remus and Sirius. It had been the notes and memories that Remus left behind that had made them find Voldemort for the final battle.

It had taken place at the orphanage Tom Riddle had grown up in. That day Hermionie stood face to face with Ron knowing she would kill him. Draco had killed his own mother. In many ways the battle had been a failure but that night Voldemort had fell for the final time.

Dumbledore stood and raised his goblet in a toast as the doors to the great hall flew open. Most eyes teared up as the ghosts of Sirius Black, in the arms of Remus Lupin and their friend James Potter flew in.

The Marauders were back at Hogwarts.
