Written for the M&MWP Drabble Tag (BillKatie, prompt 'electric'), the Names Competition (Alba - write about something that takes place at dawn) and the Ultimate Pairing Drabble Competition (prompt 'sunrise').
The Battle of Hogwarts was over. You-Know-Who had died. Dumbledore's Army, the Order, and their supporters had won.
Everybody in the Great Hall was hugging each other and rejoicing, excitement running through the air like electric current. Katie knew not everything was good - that people had fallen, that they had lost really brilliant witches and wizards - but it was hard not to be happy. The enchanted ceiling showed the brilliant sunrise that had started right when You-Know-Who - no, Voldemort - fell, bathing everybody in a beautiful golden light.
Katie found herself next to Bill Weasley. She recognized him from the twins' - oh, Merlin, the twins - family photos; he looked different now, older and scarred. He was still handsome, though, and Katie wanted to kick herself for noticing that right now. This wasn't the time - Fred was dead, many other people were dead and wounded, and the fact that Bill Weasley was attractive shouldn't have even been on her radar.
That didn't stop her, though, from wishing that she didn't see a wedding ring on his finger, and wishing that they were in different circumstances - where at least, she might have had a chance.
