Hogwarts


The atmosphere in the great hall was very serene Hermione noticed as she sat down at the Gryffindor table. There was no raucous laughter that was present in the old days before the war or even the devastating tears of news of lost loved ones after the war started it was so far an uneventful dinner.

They Hogwarts students gradually made there way through the meal and onto desserts. The staff at the high table looked ever vigilant some even sombre. And then it happened the same way the others did the news was brought by "Fawkes" the headmaster's phoenix. The large bird swooped into the hall with a rush of air and every breath in the room caught in the occupants throats, each pupil prayed as did the staff with all there hearts "let it not be, let it not be them" they waited for the terrible news that would effect one of them, some one was dead, either friend or family to one or many.

The great bird finally stopped and landed on the table in front of Professor Dumbledore who took the letter of the bird's leg and read it slowly. As he got to the last word of the message a single tear of sorrow and joy slowly rolled down his check. He looked round the hall at the faces awaiting the news with dread, some with a fork still in there hand And said

"Students and staff please raise your glasses" and they did, every single person to honour the life that they knew was lost, this had gone on for weeks the news coming at different hours. Many had already lost due to the rise of Voldemort.

"To Harry Potter, He has succeeded." said the headmaster.

Every single person dead or alive cheered the relief in there faces evident and drank the toast to there saviour. Dumbledore waited silently until the room calmed down again. The expression on the professor face showed there was more.

"Please, I ask you to raise your glasses again, there is another toast".

"To Harry Potter,

The man who died so we may live"

In this world, with the death of Harry Potter, the Horcrux inside of his head was truly gone and with renewed conviction towards Tom Riddle, Albus Dumbledore eventually managed to find all of the remaining Horcruxes that Voldemort had hidden and defeated Voldemort when he attempted to take over Hogwarts with an army of dark wizards and creatures. He, however would eventually succumb to the wounds that he had suffered from Voldemort while striking the final blow against his old student.


The Tower of Joy, Dorne - 283 AC

The scream of a Woman rang out from above resounding off of the stone walls that the Tower was built from as Ned Stark, newly appointed Lord Paramount of the North after the death of his father and brother seemed to almost fly over the steps as he ran towards the screams of the only sister that he had ever known, praying that she would still be fine after all that Rhaegar had put her through.

As Ned ran through the corridor of the great tower of Joy and found the door from which the screams came from, he charged at the door and it opened, Ned with sword in hand entered the room in order to ensure his sister's safety.

"Ned?" he heard his sister soft voice, softer than usual as he saw that Lyanna was lying in bed, a bed that was covered in blood, understanding what was happening here and that his sister was in no danger from an enemy that he could fight with a sword he lay it down along her bedside and came up to kneel before her.

"Lyanna" he replied

"Is that you?" she asked between labored breaths "is that really you? and not a dream."

"No, I'm not a dream" Ned replied looking fearfully towards his sister as she was covered in blood "I'm here, right here."

"I want to be brave" Lyanna cried to Ned.

"You are." he replied looking upon his sister gravely.

"I'm not, I don't want to die."

"You're not going to die." Ned said almost shaking in fear at the thought.

"Get her some water! Is there a Maester?" he cried to the handmaiden standing next to the bed.

"Listen to me Ned." his sister tried to cry out to him but she did not have the power to do so loudly so she brought his ear down, closer to her so that she did not have to strain her voice and so that he could hear her, "Their names are Aegon Targaryen and Jaehaerys Targaryen."

"If Robert finds out he'll ... " Lyanna could not bring herself to say the rest, but both knew what she implied "You know he will."

"You have to protect them."

"Promise me Ned, Promise me." she said, Happy knowing that there was someone out there who knew and would look after her boys.

Lord Eddard Stark turned his head as he heard the sound of children crying, he saw the handmaiden that was once by the bed bringing in two young healthy boys. Twins. One had black hair with eyes that were a grey shade of blue, "Aegon" he was told by the handmaiden and the other Jaehaerys looked very much like his father though thankfully his hair was black and not the almost white blond that the Targaryens were known for, however it was his eyes that he showed just how much like his father he was for they were a deep shade of purple a trait that ran deep in the blood of old Valyria.

"Promise me Ned, Promise Me." She managed to whisper out as her body grew still and her eyes became less focused and the air in her lungs ran out. Lyanna Stark was dead and the weeping of her brother Ned as well as the wails of the children who were not old enough to truly understand what they had lost became the only sounds that rang out from within the place known as the Tower of Joy.
