CHAPTER ONE:
ALL WAS WELL'
Harry was so tired by the
time they got back to the Gryffindor common room, which was now damaged and was
not as cozy as it was a few hours ago, that he didn't even notice himself
climbing up to the boys' dormitory and collapsing into his four-poster bed. He
summoned Kreacher sleepily and told him to bring a sandwich for him. He hadn't
even finished eating when sleep overpowered him and he curled up in the bed,
not aware of his glasses, his injuries and his torn cloths. The last sound he
heard before sleeping was snoring from Ron, who was deep in sleep, being
equally tired.
********************************************************************************************
Harry awoke next morning and rubbed his eyes, but didn't get up. He looked
sideways at Ron's bed and saw that he was still fast asleep. Wondering whether
he should wake him up or not, he lied in the bed for a long time. The previous
day flashed in front of his eyes. Breaking in Gringotts, apparating in
Hogsmeade, Aberforth, meeting DA members, searching for Ravenclaw's tiara, the
Room of Requirement, Fred's death'his stomach lurched painfully, death of
Severus Snape'another painful lurch, Lupin and Tonks dying'another lurch.
Enough! He told himself firmly. It is not at all your fault'there's no need to
feel guilty. But it was not going to be that easy, after all. He felt a great
weight in his stomach and wished he had a pensieve to put all the bitter
thoughts away. Next to him, Ron stirred and woke up. For a moment he stared
blankly at Harry as though sure it is a dream and then he got up.
"Er'Harry?"
"Good morning!" Harry tried to say cheerfully.
"Er'yeah, morning!" said Ron weakly.
A moment went in silence.
"Are you all right?" both said at once and then smiled.
None of them spoke while they dressed up rather
absent-mindedly and Ron, anxiously. They slowly went down in the common room to
be greeted by the students. Hermione joined them and the trio went to the
grounds, none speaking.
They reached the lake and sat under a tree. After a while,
Harry got up and began walking slowly on the edge of the lake. The flashes of
the battle again came over him but he didn't resist them. He remembered
watching the memories of Snape, taking in the fact that he was to be dead, walking
to the forest and facing Voldemort, meeting Dumbledore at the King's cross and
finally, watching Voldemort fall down, dead.
As he recalled the death of Voldemort and talking to Dumbledore's portrait, he felt a bit better. Turning, he saw Hermione crying silently in Ron's chest while Ron gave her a comforting hug and silent tears trickled down his own face. Harry felt alone, as he ever felt while watching his best friends close together, lost in themselves. But then he rushed towards them and put his arms around them and started crying himself. The deadly burden in his stomach seemed to lessen somehow.
********************************************************************************************
Harry didn't know how much time they spent near the lake, but
when they returned to the school, it was nearly the lunchtime. Everybody was
gathered in the great hall and looked cheerful except for them whose relatives
or friends had died in the war. Harry sat at the Gryffindor table with the
other two and the three of them began eating against their minds. Mrs. Weasley
and Mr. Weasley were sitting there along with Bill, Charlie, Percy, George and
Ginny, who all looked like they have cried all through the night. Harry
couldn't look at Ginny, who was eating as though she was forced to.
"Look, everyone'" Harry tried to speak and everyone was
startled.
"I'I'm really, really sorry'I'" but the rest of his words
were drowned by several voices.
"Oh, Harry!"
"Harry, dear,"
"Harry, don't be silly."
"No one is blaming you, mate."
"Yeah, you're just'"
"Harry," Mr. Weasley was speechless.
There were so many comforting words that Harry realized that the weight in his stomach had completely gone. He felt very much better. Hermione was looking at him anxiously; he tried to smile to her and was happy to see that he succeeded.
She smiled back rather weakly and they continued their lunch grudgingly.
