The aftermath rubble clogged various hallways through the castle. Blood no longer dripped over the stone, but now clung in a dried mess. Silence filled the halls, no words were found at the sight. The straggling group of survivers worked tirelessly in removing the bodies of their comrades and moving them to a safer location. Hearts tore from chests at each new body that was placed in the Great Hall. Young and old, the fallen heros stared up at them with peace written over their face. Cries of angst had lit through the hall as friends and families clung to those who were lost.

The loudest cries though, had to come from the Weasley family. Nestled into a corner, they held one another, crying over the fallen son.
