"Hermione!" Ron yelled

"Shut up, Ron." Harry screamed.

He couldn't believe that they had been captured. The death eaters managed to find them somehow and Harry was really angry. Now, Hermione's screams could be heard while she was being tortured. Ron kept yelling her name and Harry kept telling him to shut up, but nothing worked. Harry and Ron didn't see a man come behind them and clamped a hand over their mouths.

"You both need to be quiet now." The man snarled. The boys stopped struggling and the man continued. "Now, I'm going to let you go. Don't scream."

The hands came off of their mouths, and they turned around.

"Snape." Harry gasped.

He was shocked by seeing the professor, who was hurt badly. There was blood all over his face. One of his eyes was swollen shut, his arm was swollen as well. One of his hands twitched constantly, and he was hunched over like his back was seriously hurt. Snape laid a hand on Harry's shoulder.

"What are you doing here, Potter?" Snape mumbled. Some of his words were incoherent.

"We were captured by the death eaters. Now Bellatrix Lestrange is torturing Hermione."

"Where are we?"

"Malfoy Manor." Ron replied. "You're still alive."

"Thank you for the obvious, Weasley. Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know." Harry answered Snape. "It was in the Prophet that you had disappeared."

"When was that?"

"Almost three months ago."

Hermione's scream echoed in the cellar.

"Hermione!" Ron yelled again.

"Shut it Weasley." Snape growled, but it didn't work. "Can it!" Snape yelled, but it took a door slamming to get him to shut up.

Snape motioned them to move away from the door and he hid in the shadows as well. Peter Pettigrew, a loyal servant, came through the door.

"Petricaficus totalas." Snape whispered.

Pettigrew went rigid and fell over. Snape snatched a wand out of his hands.

"Do either of you have a wand?" he questioned

"No, they took them from us." Ron answered.

"Okay." Snape mumbled to himself. "I want you two to stay behind me."

Snape didn't wait for anyone to protest as he stumbled towards the staircase.

"Are you okay, Professor?" Harry asked, his voice full of concern.

"How I am doing doesn't concern you right now, Potter."

"But, sir…."

"Unless you want Ms. Granger to die, Potter, I would suggest that we start moving."

That caused Harry to fall silent, but he was still waiting to catch the professor if he fell. All three men made it to the top of the stairs.

"We have to wait." Snape whispered, but Bellatrix unleashed a Cruciatus curse on Hermione, and Ron moved forward. Draco and Greyback noticed.

"Stupefy!" Draco bellowed, as he shot it at Ron, who managed to dodge the spell.

"Expelliarmus." Snape whispered and the wand flew out of Draco's hand.

Harry snatched the wand out of midair. Snape shot another spell at Greyback, who's wand flew out of his hand as he was knocked unconscious. Ron caught the wand and then all hell broke loose. Harry was fighting Draco. Ron was fighting through all of the spells to pull Hermione, who was unconscious, to safety. Snape was fighting Yaxley, Lucius, and Bellatrix. There were a series of cracks, and Harry turned around as he caught another wand that Draco picked up.

Ron and Hermione were no where to be found, but Harry thought he heard Ron telling someone to take them to Shell Cottage. Harry turned back around and ducked. He was nearly blasted with a spell that was shot out of Yaxley's wand. Draco was also not where to be found. Harry looked out of the corner of his eye and saw Snape locked in battle with Lucius and Bellatrix. Even though Harry didn't like Snape, he was worried about him. He didn't like seeing people hurt and Snape was badly hurt. Snape was so hurt in face that Harry was afraid that he would fall over and die in any moment. Harry dived behind the couch and Snape did the same.

"Potter." he whispered as he dug into his robe pockets and he pulled a vial out of it. "Take this." He said as he shoved it into Harry's hands.

"What is this?" There was smoke everywhere and Harry had to shout over the spells that were still flying.

"It will explain everything. You will know when to look at it."

Harry was surprised at the vial that Snape gave him. Harry was so confused. Snape hated him and the feeling was mutual, why would he give him this.

"Did you suffer brain damage, Professor?" Harry asked as he put the vial in the pouch around his neck. The bangs of the spells stopped.

"Let's go Harry." Snape growled softly.

Snape stood up quickly and shot a spell that barely missed Malfoy's ear. Yaxley shot a spell and Snape just barely managed to get a protective spell up. Harry jumped out of cover and shot a spell at Yaxley, who managed to hit the deck before the spell took off his head. The full battle ensued again. It seemed that they had been fighting for a long time, but it could of only been minutes. Harry could see that Snape was almost out of energy. Snape threw a spell at Malfoy and Lestrange. The two shot at Spell at Snape then blocked the spell from Snape. Harry seemed to watch it in slow motion.

The spells that Malfoy and Lestrange cast seem to combine together. The two spells, red and blue, come together and formed purple. Snape stared at it in confusion and realized what was happening to late. Snape could not get his wand up fast enough and the combined spells blasted him in the chest. Harry watched in horror as Snape sailed through the air, smashed through a cabinet, and slid down the wall unconscious. Harry could only do one thing to help. He had to keep fighting. Harry quickly shot a spell at Yaxley's leg. It hit it's target and Yaxley fell forward, his face hitting the ground, knocking him out.

Now Harry had to fight Bellatrix and Malfoy. It seemed like they fed off of each other's energy, and no one would fall. Harry was fighting for his life. He was barely dodging spells, and he was barely managing to shoot off his own spells. Harry dodged behind the couch in an attempt to catch his breath. There was a loud crack and what appeared next to Harry almost caused him to jump out of cover.

"Dobby." He yelled in a whisper. "What are you doing here?"

"Dobby has come to help Harry potter." He said softly in his high, squeaky voice.

"You took Ron and Hermione. Where did you take them?"

"To Bill Weasley's shell cottage. Now Dobby has returned to help Harry Potter."

"See Professor Snape over there." Harry motioned to and unconscious Snape. "I want you to grab him and take him to the cottage. Tell Bill that he has to go to St. Mungos. Then come back and grab me." Dobby nodded in agreement.

"Come out and play, Potter." Bellatrix yelled. "Come out and fight to your death, unlike your parents. Come out and be the brave Gryffindor that you are." She cackled

Harry stood up and shot a spell at Bellatrix. There were two quick snaps and Harry knew that Snape and Dobby were gone. Harry quickly shot a spell at Malfoy, then pointed his want at the Chandelier.

"Reducto." He yelled and the spell hit the ceiling, causing the Chandelier to fall.

Harry fell behind the couch as Malfoy and Bellatrix dove out of the way. There was a snap and Dobby was right next to Harry.

"Let's go now."

The little elf grabbed Harry's hand, and the disapparated out of Malfoy Manor. When they stopped moving, Harry opened his eyes. They were standing on a beach. The ocean was pounding the shore like the heart inside of Harry's chest. Harry was on all fours, breathing and thanking God that he was not dead. Harry really thought that if Dobby had not come, he would have been dead.

"Is Harry Potter alright?"

"Yes, I'm all right." Harry looked up, but quickly looked down. His scar split open and pain erupted. Harry stifled a groan of pain.

"Dobby is sorry Harry Potter. Mr. Weasley told me to wait till he came back from St. Mungos."

"It's fine, Dobby." Harry moaned through his teeth. He stood up and together they began to walk toward a cottage in the distance. "How did you find us, Dobby?"

Dobby was explaining to Harry how Dobby found then, when Harry stopped. Something wasn't right with Harry. His vision was going in and out of focus. He could feel the blood pounding in his ears. Harry's chest and stomach hurt as well. He placed a hand where the pain was and it caused him to fall to his knees. He never got to see why he was feeling pain because his eyes closed unexpectedly, and he fell over. The ocean waves came up and hit Harry's unconscious body. The sand being stained red with blood from a wound unknown to Harry.


A sharp, sudden pain caused Harry's eyes to fly open as he gasped for air. He saw a flash of red hair as the air was being squeezed out of his lungs.

"Hermione." Harry gasped as he put his glasses on his face. "Hermione, I can't breathe."

"Oh." Hermione released the death squeeze that she had on his ribs. "Sorry, Harry."

Harry raised himself up on his elbows slowly, when he heard steps somewhere outside of the room.

"What happened?" Harry asked as he looked around.

He was laying in a bed with no shirt on. His mid-section was wrapped in bandages, which is where the source of pain was. The room that he was laying in had bright blue walls and sunlight was beginning to creep through the windows.

"I don't know. Dobby…." But she didn't get to finish.

Ron appeared in the room and Lupin followed behind him, standing in front of Harry's bed. Harry snatched the wand he took from Draco off the bed side table and pointed it at Lupin.

"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed.

"What did Professor R.J. Lupin say to me about my mother the day we were on the bridge while everyone else went to Hogsmead during my third year at Hogwarts?" Harry asked.

He had good reason for aiming his wand at Lupin. The last time they saw each other, Lupin nearly cursed Harry through a wall.

"What are you doing?" Hermione asked in shock, but Harry didn't pay attention to her. He was concentrating on Lupin.

"What did he say?" Harry asked again.

"You mother was there for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was an uncommonly kind one. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others, most especially when they couldn't see it in themselves."

That was what Harry was looking for, but he hesitated to put the wand down. Harry stared at Lupin for a few seconds then lowered his wand reluctantly. He placed the wand on the bedside table then fell back on the pillow in pain. Lupin ran forward.

"Easy Harry." Lupin whispered as he helped Harry to sit against the pillows.

Now that Lupin was closer, Harry could see that something had changed. Lupin was paler and his scars were more distinct.

"He knows." Harry said. It was a comment directed at Ron and Hermione.

"Who knows?" Lupin asked.

"Lord…" Harry began but Ron cut him off.

"I THOUGHT YOU WOULD OF LEARNED AFTER WHAT HAPPENED!"

"What happened?" Lupin questioned

"They found us and took us to Malfoy Manor. Bellatrix tortured Hermione. They threw me and Ron down in their dungeon. Snape was down there."

"SNAPE!" Lupin exclaimed

"Yeah. He was there and he was badly hurt. He helped us escape, but he got really hurt during the battle. I think You-Know-Who tortured Snape for months. What happened after Dobby got me out?"

"We don't really know. We heard a crack and we waited for you to come through the door, but it took you a long time. The door opened and Dobby was pulling you through the door. He said that you fell. So he set you down, and we saw a lot of blood…..you almost died, Harry. We had to do CPR on you. Dobby went to find Lupin….He saved you Harry." Hermione informed Harry as tears ran down her face. Ron wrapped an arm around her and held her tight.

"You lost a lot of blood Harry." Lupin continued. "The elf told me that you were hurt, so I went with him. I didn't think that you were almost dead. I kept doing CPR and sewing the wound up. You were in bad shape there for awhile."

"Who told Dobby to find you?"

"I did." Hermione answered. "He was the only one who I could think of."

"Harry, could you explain to me what happened to Professor Snape?"

"When we found him, he was really hurt. One of his arms seemed to be broken. An eye was swollen shut, his face was covered in blood, one of his hands kept twitching, and he was hunched over like an old man. When we got up stairs, he fought Bellatrix and Malfoy. The two of them shot a spell at the same time, and they combined and made on spell."

"What do you mean they combined?"

"Two spells merged and became one. I don't know how it happened, it just did.

There was a crack in the room. Bill and Dobby appeared.

"Harry Potter." Dobby yelled and jumped on the bed in excitement. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine Dobby. How did you know where we were?"

"Dobby was helping a barman and the barman heard noises from a mirror he was holding. He told Dobby to go help. So Dobby left and found Harry Potter and his friends."

"Did this man ever tell you his name?"

"The barman never told Dobby his name or what bar he owned."

Well there went all chances of knowing the unknown barman. Harry would have enough time to dwell on that later. He turned toward Bill.

"How is Professor Snape?"

"They didn't tell me much. They took him up to the spells damage ward. They think that he has a large amount of nerve damage, but that was all they told me. I tried to tell them as much as I could. Harry, tell me what happened?"

So Harry explained the story again. When he got to the part about the spells, Bill looked at Harry strangely. When Harry was done, Bill and Ron looked at him like he had gone mental, while Lupin and Hermione were deep in thought.

"Are you sure that's what happened?" Bill questioned after a few seconds of silence.

"Yes, I'm sure that's how it happened. Why would I lie about that?"

"No one is saying that you are lying, Harry." Hermione said. "It's just that something like that isn't suppose to happen. I've never read anything about that."

"Hermione, It's dark magic. Does anyone, besides Death Eater, really know a lot about it?" He questioned

"Dumbledore and Mad-eye know more about the dark arts than anyone else I know." Lupin answered. "They told me all about the dark arts and they told me about the magic the Death Eaters perform. Neither of them mentioned anything like that to me."

"Did anyone really know everything about the dark arts?" Harry argued

"Dumbledore was one of the most informed people. He knew a lot about the subject."

"See. Not even Dumbledore knew everything. Bill, I understand if you don't believe me, but you have to tell the doctors. Dobby can go with you if he would like to." Harry looked to Dobby for an answer.

"Dobby will go with master Weasley." And within a minute, Dobby and Bill were gone.

Lupin sat down in a chair, placed his head in his hands, and let out a deep, heavy sigh.

"Are you okay, Professor?" Hermione questioned

"I messed up, Harry." Lupin confessed

Harry wanted to say something along the lines of "Of course you messed up. You almost hexed me through a wall.", but he stayed silent.

"What makes you think you messed up?" Ron asked

"I never should of had a child with Tonks. What if the child is like me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Were...his kind aren't..." Hermione tried to explain to Ron, but Lupin cut in.

"It's alright Hermione. My kind aren't suppose to breed. When we do, our children become like us."

What are you going to do?" Hermione questioned

Lupin sat in silence for a few seconds. He was about to answer, but Harry spoke first.

"You better not leave them." Lupin looked away from Harry for a moment, like he actually thought about it for a second. "If you leave him and Tonks, then it's like giving up on the memory of James and Sirius."

"What else am I suppose to do, Harry?"

"You are suppose to stay and be with your family. James did it, even though he knew that he and Lily were being hunted down. He never left his wife and child. If you leave them, then you are nothing more than a coward."

Harry looked to see if Lupin would reach for his wand because calling him a coward is what got Harry blasted with a hex last time they met. "What am I suppose to do? My son can't have a werewolf for a father." "You are going to do what you're suppose to do. You are a Gryffindor and that means you have the courage to do what is right." Harry yelled at covered the room for what seemed like a long time. "So what is next?" Lupin questioned, breaking the silence. "We can't tell you." Harry retorted forcefully. "Harry, I'm just trying to help. You know that if Sirius were here, he would want to help." "Yeah, but he would accept the fact that I couldn't tell him because of Dumbledore's orders." Harry snapped and an akward silence filled the room. "Fine. I just want to know what you have to do next."Ron, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other. Harry turned to look at Lupin. "We're taking the next step."


They had finally done it. They found out what the remaining Horocruxes were. They managed to destroy all of them but the last two. After seeing Snape's memories, Harry just wanted to give up. The people that Harry loved were really hurt of dead. Fred had died and Harry had to walk away. It was so hard to watch cry over her dead son. Lupin, who was close to death, had to watch his wife, the mother of his child, die. No one knew how long Lupin had left to live. Now Harry had to walk to Voldemort and allow him to kill Harry, without Harry defending himself. Harry did just that. He played the role that he was given and allowed Voldemort to kill him. When Harry opened his eyes, he thought he would see the flash of green from the killing curse, but to his surprise, he didn't see any. A large white room is where Harry found himself lying. Pushing himself off the floor, Harry looked around, but could see nothing. It was dead silent, when a voice called his name. Harry turned around, quicker than someone could Apparate, and saw a familiar face with his arms wide open.

"Sirius!" Harry exclaimed with excitement, as he ran into his godfather's arms.

Sirius wrapped his arms around Harry, laughing with excitement. He finally could see Harry again. Harry dreamed about what it would be like to see Sirius again, but this feeling was even better than a dream. The hug seemed to last forever, but it didn't matter to Harry. He was with Sirius and that's all that mattered.

"Harry, you've grown so much." Sirius said as he clasped Harry's face in his hands. He could see the tears that were coming to Harry's eyes. Harry was about to speak, when another voice stopped him.

"Harry." The voice said.

Harry turned to his left and looked into a man's clear blue eyes that were behind a pair of half moon spectacles.

"Professor Dumbledore."

"I know that you must have alot of questions, but the answers will come in due time."

"The answers should come now Albus." A gruff voice turned around again and saw a man in a black cloak, but something was different.

The man wasn't as profound in appearence. He was a little transparent, almost like a ghost.

"Snape, what are you doing here?" Harry asked.

"Yeah you have questions to answer as well." Lupin was standing right next to HarryLupin looked like Snape, but he had more color, making him more profound. Did that mean that Lupin was close to death?

"I don't have to answer to you, werewolf." Snape growled.

Sirius came and stood by Lupin, staring intensely at Snape. Harry had no idea what to do, but Dumbledore stepped forward.

"Let us all sit down so that Harry can have his questions answered."

Everyone sat down, and looked to Harry. The only ones who didn't look at him were Snape and Sirius, who were still eyeing each other.

"Boys, pay attention." Dumbledore scolded, causing them to look away from each other and turn their attention to Harry.

"Professor, why didn't you tell me everything that was going to happen?" Harry asked.

"I felt that if I told you, then you would not accept your fate. You would try to change certain events that had to happen, I am; however, proven wrong."

"I don't understand."

"What don't you understand, Harry?" Sirius questioned

"The horocruxes. We got all of them but two. We couldn't even get to one."

"You mean that you destroyed all but one." Dumbledore corrected.

A look of confusion fell over Harry's face.

"Let me explain." Lupin started. "The night that Voldemort killed Lily and James, you stopped him from killing you. What happened was that because his soul was so unstable that what was left, latched itself on the only living thing there, which was you."

"So...I'm a horocrux?" Harry questioned weakly.

"You are." Dumbledore said. "That is why you had to give yourself up."There was a pop in the room, and Harry thought that he was the only one who heard it.

He was; however, not the only one who heard it because others began to look around. When he looked at Lupin, he knew what happpened. Lupin's appearence was much bolder, like Albus and Sirius.

"Remus, I'm very sorry." Dumbledore whispered.

Lupin was dead and now his son had no parents. He was much like Harry when he was that age.

"Harry..." Lupin looked at Harry. Their eyes met, and Harry knew what Lupin was about to say. Harry spoke before Lupin could.

"I'll be there for him. I'll make sure that he knows what his parents died for." Harry looked at Snape. "Professor, I know what your memories showed, but really who's side were you on?"

"I've been on your side and I always will be." Harry wanted to cry with happiness, but he wasn't going to do that in front of his professor.

It was silent for a few seconds before Harry blurted out.

"You have to keep fighting, Professor."

"What are you talking about, Potter?" "You have to stay alive. I need you to stay alive. You are the only thing I've got left that is a connection to any of my parents. I always tried my best in your class because I had a feeling that you would be important to me. I tried to make you happy, but you hated me because of my father. You both hated me and protected me. There were times that I didn't know if you were playing me for a fool. You are important to me and I need you to stay alive."

It was silent while a confused look came over Snape and Sirius' face.

"Harry." A woman's voice sat confused, then he realized that the voice didn't belong to anyone sitting in the circle.

Snape was the first to respond to the voice. "Lily." Harry turned around in the direction that Snape was looking. A man and a woman stood hand in hand, and smiles beamed across their face as Harry ran up to them.

"Mom, Dad." And before he could say anything else, his parents wrapped him in a hug.

Harry wished that this hug could of lasted forever. He had never hugged someone until he met , and even though she felt like his surrogate mom, this hug just didn't feel the same. He was now with his parents and he didn't want this moment to end.

"Harry, We are so proud of you." Lily said as she let go of Harry. "You did something that we could never do.

"But I didn't defeat him. He's still alive."

"He is close to being defeated." James said. "We couldn't even get that close.

Lupin and Sirius stood up and walked over to Harry and James.

"Prongs?" Sirius questioned, unsure if this was really happening.

"Padfoot." James responded.

A smile spread across Sirius' face, and he wrapped his arms around James. James did the same thing and both men laughed, clapping each other on the back. To Harry, it seemed like they had just seen each other yesterday.

"Moony." James said as he held out his hand after the hug between him and Padfoot was finished.

"Prongs." Lupin responded, shaking his hand. A smile spread across Lupin's face. It was the first time Harry had seen him smile in a long time.

Snape approached Lily, cautionsly. It was the first time that Snape had seen the real Lily Evans in twenty years, but he remembered everything about her like it was yesterday. Her eyes were a dazzling green, and her red hair was beautiful. Everything was the same about her. It was like they had just come to Hogwarts. The memories of sitting in class and out by the lake came flooding back to Snape.

"Lily." Snape said again in shock.

"Sev, you haven't changed a bit." Lily replied as she held her hand out and wiped a tear that was falling down Snape's face. "Thank you so much for taking care of Harry. You..." Lily tried to continue but Snape cut her off.

"Lily, I'm so sorry for everything that happened between me and you. I never meant to say such mean things to you that day. I never wanted you to die. I tried everything to stop him. I'm so sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Lily pulled Snape close and hugged him tightly. "You did everything that I asked you to do."

"What do you mean?"

"You are now Harry's godfather." Stunned silence filled the room. "I put it in my will that if Sirius had died or something happened where he couldn't be there for Harry, you were suppose to care for him. I just wanted to make sure that Harry was safe and after Sirius died, you did that. You and Sirius were suppose to raise Harry."

"So...I am Harry's godfather?"

"Yes. I need you to fight. This is your second chance. You and Harry have so much in common. He needs someone to love him, and you need someone to love and to love you. You know that it is true, and you can both do that for each other. You will both need someone after the war is over."

"Wait, Professor Dumbledore." Harry said, still in a state of shock. "Correct me if I'm wrong, If a part of Voldemort latched onto me, then when he killed me he killed that part of him?"

"That is correct. Your soul is now all yours."

"So then..that means I am still alive?"

"You have a choice, as does everyone here. You can either move on, or you can go back and finish what you started." Dumbledore answered.

Harry thought about it and weighed his two options: He could either stay here with his family, or he could go back, kill Voldemort, be with Ron, Hermione, Teddy Lupin, and Snape. Harry knew what he had to do

"I have to go." He turned to his parents. "I have to finish what I started. There are people who need me, and they need a better future. Only I can give it to them. I have to go."

"Do you think that you are about to make the right decision?" Dumbledore asked.

"I think so."

"Then we will be here waiting for you when the time is right." James said

"Harry remember that we are always with you." Lily whispered.

"Harry." Sirius called, and Harry turned to look at him.

"I know that you are probably scared, but listen to me. A lot of people say that you and he are alike. Remember that is not important, what is important is how you are different, and that is how you will beat him. I know that you can do this."

Harry nearly fell into Sirius' arms as they embraced, for what Harry knew would be the last time for a very long time.

"Thank you very much Harry. I know that I have left my son in capable hands." Lupin stuck his hand out. Harry shook it as he spoke.

"I will treat him like he is my brother."

"I know you will." Lupin said as he gave Harry a hug.

"Snape." James called. "I want to apologize for everything that I put you through at school. You don't have to accept it. If I were you, I wouldn't accept it. I just want you to know, that I'm sorry Sniv…I'm sorry, Severus."

Snape glared at his enemy, James Potter, in silence. He had been hit with so much stuff in the past ten minutes, Snape had no idea how to handle it all. This could not be happening. Lilly just gave him custody of her son, and now James Potter was apologizing for bullying him in school. Snape wasn't sure if he could forgive James, but he had to let Harry know that he didn't hate him because of his dad.

"Potter." Snape called, sticking his hand out.

James walked forward and gripped Snape's hand tight. After a few seconds, they released hands and Snape turned to Lily.

"I'll take care of Harry." Snape whispered

Lily wrapped his arms around his neck and gave him a big hug.

"Thank you, Sev." She whispered back.

Snape wished that the hug would never end, but all good things have to end at some point. Lily let go and turned to watch Harry.

"I'm going to keep fighting Harry. I'll see you when the war is over."

Snape looked at Lily.

"I love you." he mouthed.

"I love you too. Goodbye Sev." she mouthed in response

"Goodbye Lily." he mouthed before disappearing with a soft crack.

Dumbledore placed his hand on Harry's shoulder.

"Harry, I hope that you know that I am proud of you. You are a better man than I ever was. Everything will be fine in the end."

"Thank you, Professor." Harry turned to his parents. "Mom, Dad, I have to do this."

"We know you do." Lily responded

"We will be waiting for you." James continued.

"We are so proud of you Harry. You have know idea." Lily grabbed her son and gave him a tight hug. "I love you so much." She whispered as she let go of him.

Tears came to Harry's eyes and he gave hugs and said final goodbyes to the ones that he loved.

"This is not the last time we will see each other, you know that Harry." Sirius said

"I know. Now I have to go and finish the war."

"Goodbye Harry." They all sang in unison.

Harry choked out, "Goodbye." and with one loud crack, Harry was left alone. There was a bright light and Harry could hear again, but he kept his eyes closed. The smell of dirt filled his nostrils, telling him one thing. He made it back.
