Hermione, Ron, and Ginny apparated to Godric's Hollow. They Found Harry Bloody, Bruised, and shaking with tears. He was sitting on his parents grave, his head resting on the tombstone. There was blood everywhere. The tombstone read: Lilly and James Potter, Devoted Parents. Devoted Aurors. May they forever rest in peace.
"I didn't know his parents were Aurors." Hermione whispered
"They were unofficial Aurors" whispered Ron "Anyone who worked to help defeat dark wizards are named unofficial Aurors as a kind of respect to what they died for."
"Ohh" Whispered Hermione, kind of embarrassed that even though she had read all those books, there were still some wizarding customs Ron knew better than her.
They looked over, Ginny was now sitting with Harry, his head in her lap, he was still shaking uncontrollably.
"Harry" Ginny whispered under her breath "What happened?"
"I.. I- Killed him" Harry stuttered "I.. I'ma.. Murderer"
"Who?" Ron, Ginny, and Hermione said together.
"Snape" Harry pointed to a body lying motionless about 15 feet away.
"I
was fighting... fifty of them. I injured about half of them.. then I
saw him. Standing there with his pointed nose and greasy hair. I
wanted him DEAD. I wanted nothing more then to see him suffer. Like
Dumbledore suffered. Like my Parents Suffered. Like Sirius suffered.
Like I Suffered. But you know what? The suffering is still there. It
hurts more than ever. When I saw Ginny lying there, having suffered
one of the most horrible curses, something snapped inside me. I
couldn't help but think it's MY fault! She is lying there because of
ME. Harry ranted, tears streaming down his face.
"Harry, it's
not your fault." Ginny whispered running her fingers through his
hair.
"YES IT IS MY BLOODY FAULT!" Harry yelled "If I Hadn't ran to the department of mysteries, If Dumbledore hadn't had to use his last moment of freedom to imoblize me, If I HADN'T BEEN BORN. Everyone would still be alive. I wouldn't have gotten your family into this mess. Bill wouldn't be a werewolf, your whole family wouldn't be in the horrible danger it's in. And you wouldn't have had to suffer through the torture curse today.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER" Ginny screamed with a shrill voice much like Mrs. Weasly's "I LOVE YOU, HERMIONE LOVES YOU, RON LOVES YOU! THE WIZARDING WORLD BLOODY NEEDS YOU! THINK ABOUT ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW IF IT HADN'T HAVE BEEN FOR YOU! YOU DELAYED VOLDEMORT FROM COMING BACK FOR 14 YEARS! HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU THINK HE COULD HAVE KILLED IN THAT TIME. NOT TO MENTION YOU SAVED ME I WOULD BE DEAD IF NOT FOR YOU HARRY, AND NOT JUST HURT BY THE TORTURE CURSE, AND WHAT ABOUT SIRIUS, AND EVEN BUCKBEAK! NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHERS! WE WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT YOU! SO IF I HEAR YOU WISH YOU HADN'T BEEN BORN AGAIN, I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE YOU REALLY WISH YOU HAD NEVER BEEN BORN! YOU GOT THAT? I LOVE YOU! DO YOU UNDERSTAND? L.O.V.E. LOVE!" Ginny broke down into tears. "I just can't bear to see you think of yourself this way when you have so much left to live for!"
"Yes yes I know I'm the bloody boy who lived I have to save the world from Voldemort, or die trying I know this." Harry muttered
"Yes, but beyond that, your Harry, just Harry, a great person, a great friend, and the man I love, we can have such a future beyond this war Harry! We can live together, have children together, grow old together. But in order to do so we have to fight, we can do it Harry I know we can, together." "Harry James Potter you are the love of my life! And together I believe we can accomplish anything! Will you marry me?" Ginny exclaimed with tears in her eyes
Harry sat there stunned, and after a moment he said "Yes Ginevra I will marry you, but isn't is normal for the guy to ask the girl?"
"Since when have you ever been normal?" Ginny said with a laugh
Hermione cheered and Ron slapped Harry on the back and said "congratulations mate" Ginny and Harry laughed, they had forgotten Ron and Hermione were there.
"But what do we do about Snape?" said Harry "He was alone when he died, as soon as he fell, the others left him. He at least deserves a proper burial. No one should go without that."
Ginny and Hermione nodded, Ron muttered, "I guess."
"But when Harry tried to stand up, he winced and fell back down."
"Oh your hurt!" Ginny gasped running to his side
Hermione ran to his side "Oh Harry! Your leg is broken and you side is bleeding heavily." She lifted up the shirt and looked at his wound. It was a horrible mixture of green and purple mixed with blood.
"Harry I've read about this, it looks a lot like Magnas Cerat curse, its really advanced magic, we need to get you to a doctor right away."
"NO!" yelled Harry "We NEED to bury Snape."
"Hermione, is it life threatening?" Ginny asked gently
"The curse isn't life threatening but the symptoms are extremely painful, and he will be drained of his powers until a Healer can heal him. Also none of us can use Magic around him because any trace of it collides with the spell and causes even more pain. Not to mention the fact that he is bleeding heavily and if he bleeds too much it could be potentially life threatening. Bottom line is we need to find a healer, and fast." Hermione explained.
"No!" Harry said "I won't go until we bury Snape."
"Fine" said Hermione "Then we need to do it fast."
Hermione and Ginny then took Harry's shirt off, maneuvering around the injury. Hermione ripped Harry's shirt into two strips and tied one of them tightly around Harry's wound as he winced in pain.
"I'm sorry Harry, but this will slow the bleeding." She then proceeded to set his leg (snap the bone back in place) and make kind of a splint for it to keep it there.
"Blimey Hermione, how do you know all of this?" Ron laughed
"I read Ron, maybe you should do the same." Hermione snapped
"Well the doctor thing is kind of sexy" Ron said slyly and leaned in for a kiss
"Um excuse me." Ginny cut in, "But my fiance (she loved using that word) is kind of DYING!"
Hermione broke off causing Ron to lose his balance and fall in the mud.
"You shouldn't do that Ronald. you know it distracts me." Hermione said quickly
"Yea and we wouldn't want that" Grumbled Ron
Ron then conjured up shovels.
Harry screamed in pain Ginny had never heard Harry sound like he was in that much pain. And she had seen him go through a lot.
"Ron, you dumb ass!" Ginny yelled
"Im sorry Gin, but if were burying Snape, we need shovels and it takes less magic to get shovels that it takes to magically dig a hole" Ron said apologetically
So they started digging. They wrapped Harry in a thermal blanket and forced him to drink and eat every 20 minutes in attempt to keep his strength and energy up. Hermione stressed the importance of not letting him fall asleep. They all worked together to talk and entertain him as they keep his (and their spirits up). Ginny and Harry talked about waiting until they were married to have sex. "You'd better bloody wait" Ron said indignantly
Eight hours later they had a Six foot deep hole. They carefully lay Snape's body in it and covered it with the dirt. Soon enough they were on their way.
Hermione and Ron went into an abandoned shack and found a few useful things, and threw them into a backpack. The then found a wheel barrow which they carefully lifted Harry into.
Harry had Ginny pick out the prettiest flower she could find and he tied it into a ring-shape around her finger.
"Hermione please put a lasting charm on this flower. I want this flower look look as gorgeous as it does now forty years from now." Harry said
"No Harry, the curse, it isn't worth it." Ginny said
"No Ginny, anything for you is worth it. Besides its smaller magic than conjuring a shovel!" Harry said as Ginny scowled at Ron.
Harry winced as Hermione preformed the charm.
