A.N. I just thought it was too mean for me to end it there. I know if I was reading I would be really angry that the writer left me hanging. Especially when its Harry we're talking about! Okay so like a good girl I wrote the next chapter. Here you go. :)

The Boy-Who-Lived

"We are gathered here today to pay our respects to these fine witches and wizards. First, to Fred and George Weasley, they came into this life together, stayed by each others side and left this life together. They will be missed terribly. May they both rest in peace." The minister of magic stopped speaking for a moment.

The sombre crowd murmured "may they rest in peace" and fell quiet again. There wasn't a dry face to be seen, even the minister of magic, who was giving the speech, had tears in his eyes. Wizards from all over the world apparated to pay their respects and the large hilltop was covered in black mourning.

"Next, we say farewell to Arthur and Molly Weasley, they were such a fine couple who raised their children with love, and kindness. Arthur was a good wizard, a man I know we will all miss. Molly was also a good mother and a good wife. May they both rest in peace." Again, the minister fell silent and waited for the crowd's response.

"Now we pay our respects to a wizard we all knew and love. A wizard who conquered evil and cheated death on many occasions all of his life. He was a good and humble wizard. A true hero. He dedicated his life to fighting the Dark Lord, he saved his friends, protected the philosopher's stone, battled the monster in the secret chamber, won the triwizard competition, and he saved us all by sacrificing his life and killing You Know Who. Harry Potter, you were Albus Dumbledore's man, through and through, may you rest in peace."

A loud chorus of "May you rest in peace Harry Potter," filled the air as the whole crowd spoke as one. The Minister of Magic cast his eye about the crowd and smiled grimly as he watched the people come up one by one, to pay their respects.

Two wizards waved their wands and a large silvery tomb appeared over Harry Potter's coffin. The tomb stood tall and magnificently for all to see. It was hours before Ginny, Hermione and Ron got to the Tomb. They waited at the back of the crowd so they could spend as long as they wanted at Harry's side.

"I guess now its official. He really is dead," Ron said weakly. His face was ashen and he had large bags under his eyes. Hermione wailed and laid her head on his shoulder as they walked forward.

"I can't bear this, he should be here, with us!" she said as giant tears poured down her cheeks.

Ginny remained silent, her expression hard and her eyes fixed on the tomb as they walked.

When they took Harry's body back to the Burrow, Ginny dragged his body upstairs to her bedroom, pushed the dead body of Wormtail off the bed and pulled Harry on it. She then led next to him and held him close to her as she sobbed all night.

Hermione and Ron sat up in the lounge in a tight embrace like two frightened children. Ron moaned "Corpses, this house is full of corpses," then proceeded to join Hermione in weeping.

Three days later they prepared the funeral and apparated Wormtail's body to the Riddle's mansion where Malfoy and Voldemort lay. The ministery were informed and the house was converted into a museum where the world could see proof that the Dark Lord has finally died.

Bill, Fluer and Charlie moved back to the Burrow and they tried to contact Percy but shortly found that when he heard of his parents' death he killed himself. The loss and sorrow was so strong for Ginny that she refused to eat or even talk. She had become an empty shell.

Finally Ginny reached the tomb. Lupin, Tonks, Moody, Professor McGonagol and Dobby stood there each wearing the same look on their face: devastation.

"I feel like I've lost James all over again," Lupin said in a low voice. Tonks whimpered and he held her close to him.

"He was a good boy, a good wizard," Moody grunted his magical eye very still for once.

"I still can't believe it, he seemed so invincible," Professor McGonagol said hoarsely as she dabbed her eyes with a pocket handkerchief.

"Dobby will miss Harry Potter very much, oh yes. Harry Potter set Dobby free. Harry Potter was Dobby's friend." Dobby squeaked, he then blew his long nose on one of his socks.

There was a depressed silence when someone spoke from behind them.

"He just can't be dead," everyone turned to find a young blonde haired man staring sullenly at the tomb.

"Colin – Colin Creevery?" Hermione gasped.

"You survived that night at Hogwarts?" McGonagol exclaimed.

"Weren't you killed?" Ron asked amazed. Colin smiled sadly and shook his head.

"I noticed that Harry was gone, I thought he might have gotten lost in the Forbidden Forest, so I went out in search of him. It was foolish I know, when I got back, the castle was empty," Colin said in a quiet voice.

"So I went home to my family, and worked at Fred and George's joke shop," Colin bowed his head and tears fell onto the soft grass.

"You went looking for Harry?" Hermione asked incredulously. Colin looked up guiltily and nodded.

"Harry would have been touched, had he know," Professor McGonagol said sadly.

Colin looked at Ginny and stepped toward her.

"If there is anything I can do to ease the pain-"

"Bring him back," Ginny cut in firmly. Colin looked startled for a moment and then looked defeated.

"If only we could," Lupin said sadly, Tonks nodded and Moody grunted. Professor McGonagol sighed.

"Maybe we can," Ron said suddenly, everyone looked at him in surprise.

"What are you talking about Ron?" Hermione asked. Ron sniffed and looked considerably brighter.

"He cheated death when he was a baby, he's called the boy-who-lived, maybe we can get him back," Ron said hopefully.

"Don't be so foolish," Moody growled.

"It's hopeless, no one has come back from the dead," Tonks said helplessly.

"Exactly," Ron said quickly.

"Can Dobby help sir? Dobby would love to help bring Harry Potter back!" Dobby squeaked excitedly as he jumped up and down.

"No, wait, it's stupid to think that-" Colin began but Hermione interrupted him.

"No, Harry isn't an ordinary wizard, he's done a lot more than any wizard in history has been capable of doing!" she said breathlessly.

"And Hermione would know!" Ron said as he smiled.

"I think you might be right," Lupin said slowly. "I bet if Harry wanted to come back badly enough, he'd find a way,"

"So we need a reason that's strong enough to make him want to come back," Professor McGonagol said cotting on.

"Fools, all of you," grunted Moody. "He's dead, deal with it," and with that Moody apparated.

"I wonder what would make him want to come back?" Colin asked with a grin.

Everyone looked at Ginny who was scowling at the floor, she glanced up at everyone and shook her head.

"Moody was right. You're all fools," she began to walk away but Ron caught her arm

"Don't you love him?" he asked. Ginny looked hurt.

"Of course I do," she exclaimed.

"It's worth a try, come on," Colin said quickly.

"You've got nothing to lose," Lupin said. Ginny sighed.

"You're right," she said in quiet voice.

"So will you try?" Professor McGonagol asked hopefully, Ginny looked around at everyone's hopeful faces. Then she gave a small smile.

"What do I need to do?" she asked.

"Go to the front of the Tomb and call his name, close your eyes and reach out to him with your soul." Hermione said confidently.

"My dear, how do you know?" Professor McGonagol asked in a surprised voice. Hermione thought for a moment.

"I read it in a book by-"

"Okay come on, let's do this," Ginny said quickly, before Hermione started making a list of books.

"Can Dobby do anything?" Dobby squeaked.

"Yes Dobby, we need you to reach out to Harry too," Lupin said kindly.

"What a good idea," Tonks said, "We should all do it."

"It will make it stronger," Colin said excitedly.

"Alright, let's do it," Ginny said.

Ginny stepped close to the opening of the tomb and closed her eyes. She felt people follow her and stand next to her.

"Alright, now, begin." Ginny ordered. She breathed in heavily and tried to reach out with her mind.

Harry…….Harry……..Please Harry……..come back to me……..Harry?...are you there?...I need you Harry?...Oh Harry please answer me……….Harry?

After several minutes Ginny felt foolish, she opened her eyes and looked around. Dobby was clutching his hands and had his eyes tightly shut. He looked like he was praying. Professor McGonagol, Lupin, Tonks, Colin, Hermione and Ron all had their eyes closed and looked like they were in great pain. Ginny sighed sadly.

"This is cruel," she said "it's not working and we all look stupid," the others opened their eyes sadly.

"Moody's right, we need to accept that he's gone," Colin said in a low voice. He inclined his head to everyone then apparated.

"It's true, he wouldn't want us living in false hope," Professor McGonagol stated. "I need to be going," she looked at the tomb "Bye Harry," she whispered before apparating.

"I'm sorry," Lupin said heavily before he and Tonks also apparated.

Dobby however, still had his eyes closed and was rocking back and forth. "Dobby," Ginny said loudly. Shocked, Dobby opened his eyes and looked at Ginny with hurt.

"You don't want Harry Potter back?" he asked,

"He's gone, he can't come back," Ginny replied. Dobby wailed and disappeared. Ginny sighed and looked at Hermione and Ron.

"I thought it would work," Ron said faintly.

"So did I," Hermione added. Ginny smiled slightly and then she broke down in tears. Ron and Hermione put their arms around her and the three of them cried.

"I have nothing left," Ginny said weakly.

"You have Hermione and I," Ron said.

"You are together, you'll be off doing your own thing, I have no one," Ginny said heavily. She looked up at the sky, hating the sun for being so bright on such a horrible day.

"Oh Gin," Hermione wailed and they cried some more.

Ginny…..

Hermione, Ron and Ginny jumped. "Who said that?" Ron asked quickly. Ginny stood up and looked around desperately.

Come to me Ginny…..don't leave me.

"Harry!" Hermione screamed. Ginny shushed her and ran close to Harry's tomb.

"Are you in there?" she asked desperately. Ron and Hermione stood up and hurried to the tomb.

No…..please Ginny……..Come to me…..

"How? Where are you? How can I get you back?" Ginny asked weakly.

"Harry mate, I knew it! I knew you were alive!" Ron said with a grin. Ginny elbowed him and told him to be quiet.

You know where to find me……..but please Ginny…..please……..come to me….

"Yes, yes I'm coming," Ginny yelled as she ran down the grassy hill and away from the tomb.

"Ginny!" Ron shouted as he and Hermione ran after her.

"How do you know where to go?" Hermione screamed.

"Don't ask questions, come if you like, but I'm getting my man back," Ginny yelled happily as she continued to run.

Confused and excited Hermione and Ron followed her.
