Author's Babble – Hey! I'm trying to get this chapter out before school reopens, and then I will get my report! Hope I do good! Anyhow, I will like to thank gryffindorgrl123, Kates Master, Sweetie813, OMJessie, MisticalEmperma, Risifruttii, Queenie, carebear88899, hp-Lover-4-Ever, thecoolgirl6790, jesus4ever, zauber, Usagi of Feudal Moon Era, HPOD sufferer for reviewing! I know I said I would continue from Ginny finding Harry, but I realized that if I write that it would basically be the same thing the HBP, so I will be starting from the next day.

IMPORTANT! - Okay, I created my own forum, Bittersweet Endings. Basically, it would be what is your bittersweet ending the you think may happen in the 7th and final Harry Potter book. Honestly, I don't think Mrs. Rowling is going to give us the fairy tale ending we've all been dreaming about. I have this weird feeling someone would dead, most of the times these feelings are right. So, can you guys PLEASE check it out. I'm really counting on you guys to do this for me.

No flames. Constructive Criticism would be greatly appreciated and please review and tell me how I can improve my writing and if I could continue this story.

Hogwarts without Dumbledore is something that cannot be describe, you can only experience this to understand how I, the author, cannot put into words how Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione and the rest of Hogwarts must be feeling.

Currently, you could find Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione seated in the Gryffindor common room, so absorbed in their own thoughts to notice what everyone else was doing.

Harry, who was seated in the armchair nearest to a window, gazed outside. The first thing he saw was Hagrid's hut. He remembered how much Hagrid respected Dumbledore, and that Hagrid must be hurting just as bad as the rest of them.

Harry made up his mind, and began to rise from his seat. Ginny, who was stretched out on the carpet on her stomach beside Harry's seat, noticed that Harry was rising from his seat. She looked up at him questioningly, and she, also rose from her position from on the ground.

Harry motioned towards Hagrid's hut and said, "I'm going to visit Hagrid. Do you want to come with me?"

"Sure. Do think Ron and Hermione want to come?" motioning to the couple, but discovered that the both of them fell asleep.

"Nah. Leave them. Ron did not sleep not well last night, I kept hearing him moving. His bed always makes lots of noise." Harry replied, as he leaded the way towards the portrait hole.

As Harry and Ginny walked across the grounds, Harry began to think.

It was amazing how we humans could take so many things for granted. We would never notice the importance of the moon, the sun and the stars until they are taken away from us.

And when they are lost forever, then we begin to realize.

Only when something or someone is taken away from us, we really realized how much they mean to us. And we regret that we never stoped, and tried to get to know the person better, start small conversation with the person or something.

You never know what people could be going threw in life, and that having them know that there is, at least one person, that care about them could have a major effect on them. Could stop them from making one fatal mistake and they would regret for the rest of their lives. (A/N but seriously guys, friendship is something very importance, and true friends are hard to come by.).

This was exactly how Harry Potter felt. If he only knew that Professor Dumbledore was going to die last night, he would not have only tried to prevent it from happening, he would have tried to get to know Professor Dumbledore better if it wa still going to happen.

Only now, Harry realized that you never know when that day would come, and all would be lost…

After a couple of minutes, Harry was jerked out of his thoughts and finally realized that he and Ginny had arrived in front of Hagrid's hut. From outside you could have heard Hagrid's moans of sorrow. Both Harry and Ginny steeling themselves for what they knew was awaiting them behind those closed doors.

Harry raised his fist in knocked on the door, and stepped back as he heard Hagrid's footsteps coming towards the door.

" 'Arry! And Ginny!" Hagrid exclaimed as he opened the door, his voice was slightly hoarse from the crying. He took on look at Harry and collapsed completely, throwing all himself onto Harry.

Harry nearly collapsed due to the force. This was no laughing matter, as Hagrid was already twice the size and three times the weight of an ordinary man.

Eventually, both Ginny and Harry were able the lead Hagrid back into the house and into the nearest chair. As Harry sat down next to Hagrid, Ginny began making a pot of tea, hoping that would be able to calm Hagrid.

With a cup of tea in front of him, Hagrid was finally able to speak well enough so that Harry and Ginny could understand.

"He was ah good man," Hagrid sobbing, as he blew his nose on his trademark spotted handkerchief, "was always willin' to 'elp everyone. Even little maggots like Mundungus (sp?) who never had a purpose in life. Unless you countin' smugglin' illegal stuff."

He blew his nose again. "He was the only one who believed in me all those years back. Allowing meh ter stay as gamekeeper, even after all my mistakes. Even when I told that scum 'ow ter get pass Fluffy, he still kept me."

Both Harry and Ginny remained silence, allowing Hagrid to speak. Eventually Ginny began to speak, "Don't worry Hagrid. He's in a better place. Somewhere that's far away from all the worries and heartbreaks of this world. He rightfully deserves it, after all the hard works he's been doing all these years."

"Ginny's right, Hagrid. I remember what he told me during my first year, when I was in the Hospital Wing. Normally, I don't remember these stuff, but he said '(c) After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure(c),'" Harry added.

"Great mind he had. Albus Dumbledore," Hagrid muttered, he was in the process of raising his teacup to his lips, but stopped in mid-action.

"To Albus Dumbledore," Hagrid said, lifting his teacup. Harry and Ginny also lifting their cup, for their fallen Headmaster.

"Do you think we can stay like this forever?" Ginny whispered. She and Harry were sitting near the large tree, near the lake, enjoying the sunset. It was so peaceful. It felt as if you had no worries.

Harry chuckled, and wrapped his arm more tightly around Ginny, "We can try Ginny. We can only try,"
