Title: Ten Years

Author: Duh, me! Night Essence

Rating: PG

Summary: People visit a graveyard, ten years after the war and mourn.


Ten years. That's how long it had been since the Great War, in which Harry Potter had defeated Voldemort. Hundreds upon hundreds of people were killed in the war. Some were innocent and some were not, but they were all loved. Harry and Hermione comforted a sniffling Ron and walked over to Remus. Quietly the four Gryffindors headed out of the graveyard got into the blue car that belonged to Remus. The four drove off and thought about the people they had been mourning, they let their tears fall silently and grieved in the silence of the car.

Ten years. That's how long it had been since the most devastating war in wizarding history. Hundreds upon hundreds of people had perished. Some were men and some were women, but they were all loved. Theodore helped a depressed Pansy to her feet and handed her a handkerchief. The brown haired girl gave a small smile as thanks and wiped off her tears. She hugged him once more and kissed his cheek softly. Theodore returned the gesture and offered her his arm. Together the two Slytherins walked out the graveyard and headed to the carriage they had arrived in. Memories flew through their minds and they mourned.

Ten years. That's how long it had been since the most violent and hateful war in the history of the whole world. Hundreds upon hundreds of people had been murdered. Some were adults and some were children, but they were all loved. Colin and Lucius had already left the graveyard and were expressing their grief in the quiet of their own homes. Cho and Justin had run into each other and exchanged the usual greetings that you do with old classmates and hurried off to be by themselves. The four individuals shut off the rest of the world and kept their pain to themselves. All in all, the people that gathered in the graveyard today had found love, the wonderful feeling of love and it had been striped away from them. They were filled with grief and guilt for ten years, but the visits to the cemetary today had helped ease some on the pain for them all. Ten years is a long time, but it takes even longer without those you love.


Okay, I need to apologize for the ending chapter. I don't like it and I think I could have done much better. Maybe one day I'll come back to the story and fix it. Anyway, please review and tell me what you think of the story.
