George POV
The battle was still going on as we got back to the castle, Melody still cradled in my arms. I ducked around it, fully concentrating on getting Melody some medical attention. Though there were tons of people outside still, I could tell most of the fighting was going on in the castle.
"George, put me down," Melody said, suddenly.
"But – Mel," I started, but Melody sent me a look and I set her down immediately. She was so stubborn.
She took my hand, dragging me towards the castle. "You don't even have a wand!" I shouted to her over the noise.
"It's alright," she said. "I don't think we're even going to need one."
I followed her into the castle where she stopped suddenly. A crowd had formed, surrounding Voldemort and –
"Harry," Melody muttered. "He's – he's alive!"
Harry was speaking. We couldn't exactly hear what he was saying but he was talking. I did, however, hear Voldemort when he shouted, "Avada Kedavra!"
Just as Harry shouted, "Expelliramus!"
There was silence for a moment before a loud cheer erupted. People hugged and cried and danced and screamed for – for joy.
"Melody!"
Melody was nearly tackled to the ground as Hermione hugged her, taking her hand and pulling her towards the middle of the circle where Harry was. I followed, watching what could only be described as a joyous reunion between really good friends as Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Melody all gathered together in a tearful hug. Mum took Melody away from them, though, checking her over before pulling her into the hug she was famous for.
I . . . I was overcome, I think, with joy, which is why when Melody made her way back to me, I swooped her into my arms and kissed her.
I could practically hear my mum's ecstatic cries of surprise and joy. When we looked up, Hermione and Ginny were laughing, while Ron and Harry were both staring at us in shock.
It was out now . . . but I didn't care and I think that's why I just kissed her again, in front of everyone.
Melody didn't seem to care either.
It was alright now.
I – I had lost Fred but through it all there had been Melody, always would be Melody. She'd help me get through it, I know she would.
Everything was fine.
