Chapter 17: The End
"He was the wind," a pale and crying Hermione acknowledged softly. "Harry fought Voldemort and Voldemort died, but they had to fight again, Harry won once more but gave up his life to save us."
Ginny hadn't stopped crying yet. She hadn't said anything either. She was staring at the floor almost no color in her face, a guilty, heavy feeling in her chest.
Everybody was quiet. It was plain to them what had happened, they didn't need Hermione to tell them. It was hard for them. There wasn't much of the Order left. Harry had been as much of a leader as Dumbledore. It hurt to lose him. Of course, now there was no more Order of the Phoenix; with no more Death Eaters they were un-needed.
"We just need to do this. Harry saved our lives. Let's give him a proper burial and go on with our lives. He gave up his life," Charlie said, softly yet firmly.
They all stared at Harry's casket. They were still upset, and would be for a while. Ginny hadn't talked since Harry's death. Ron and Hermione were displaying affection without a worry about what everybody else thought. Harry's death was bad, but it had caused many improvements overall. People weren't worried or scared anymore.
Just about the whole wizarding community turned up for the funeral. They all paid their respects, crying silently. The priest went up and did his bit. Ron and Hermione made speeches about what a great guy Harry had been, about what he had been through, about the impact of his life and death. Beautiful speeches.
Then it was Ginny's turn.
"What Harry and Hermione said were true. Harry was an excellent human being. Even when all of you guys treated him like dung, he lived on and kept saving life after life. If it wasn't for him, a lot of you guys would be dead, and you know it. Harry need not have died. He could have saved all these lives and lived, but he gave what was left of his life reserve to save me. He loved me, as I love him. He wanted us to be together, but he knew one of us had to die," she had everybody's 100 attention, there was absolutely no noise in the crowd. "But I want us to be together too. I love all of you guys, and I love Harry."
With these final words she pointed her wand at her chest. The crowd, including her family, watched in horror as Ginny's body fell to the floor of the raised ground. The magnigying spell placed on the stadium echoed the crash over and over again. The noise seemed to stick in their ears like glue. As the crowd watched, cried out, and looked on in horror, an odd peace settled over the crowd. Harry and Ginny were together, they were happy. There was no need to grieve. Ron laughed, and everybody rejoiced.
I'm sorry about the chapter 16. It had MAJOR mistakes but I fixed them. Please review. Did you like the ending?
