Chapter 1:The Return
The battle had been fought, and the casualties had been horrific. Hogwarts lay in ruins, bodies strewn across the grounds. It was a scene of destruction and devastation.
But amid his heartache, something miraculous was about to happen.
Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, stood in the center of the battlefield, heart heavy with the loss and grief of his dead family and friends. He had given everything he had
to defeat Voldemort, but at what cost? Friends, family, mentors. They had all fallen in the fight that he was fated to fight in, a fight that was his fault. As Harry looked over
the ruin, a strange feeling washed over him. He felt a presence, a warmth in the air that he couldn't quite explain. And then, figures began to emerge from the shadows, the
fallen began to wake, no longer fallen.
Remus and Tonks came out of the great hall, covered in blood and grime. They looked at Harry with tear-filled eyes, their faces etched with relief, joy, and confusion.
Remus spoke, his voice trembling with emotion.
"Harry?"
Harry could barely believe his eyes. Remus and Tonks, both killed in the battle, stood before him, whole and alive. His heart swelled with happiness as he embraced them.
"Remus… Tonks?" Harry softly spoke.
Harry ran up to them, catching Remus in a tight embrace, tears spilling down his cheeks.
