Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

George just stared at Harry for a second and than said, "Well, Fred died with a smile on his face, that's
how he would have wanted to go out."
"Yeah, it is, isn't it." replied Harry. He turned to Mrs. Weasley and said, "Mrs. Weasley, I want to thank
you for everything you've done for me over the last 7 years, and I also wanted to say I'm sorry that Fred
died."
Mrs. Weasley reached out and took Harry's hand in hers and said, "Harry don't blame yourself for his
death, we all agreed before we came that if any of us died the others would tell you not to blame your
self. We did this because you would do the same for us."
Harry just smiled and nodded, "You know, the funny thing is, I don't really blame my self," he said, "I
did at first, but then Ginny explained it to me in a way that helped."
"If anybody can get through your thick skull, it's Ginny," said George with a smile, "of course she has a
bit of an extra advantage."
"Yeah, she does," said Harry with an equal smile. He pulled Ginny a bit closer and let her put her head
on his shoulder.
Harry's words left the rest of the Weasley's dumbstruck, they had all been ready for Harry to be
berating himself for the deaths of so many, but it seemed as if he only blamed himself as much as they
did. They weren't unhappy about this, indeed they were ecstatic, but it was a bit unexpected.
Finally Mr. Weasley nodded his head and said, "That's the right attitude Harry, glad to know you'll be
able to help others through this."
"Yeah, we thought that you would have to be locked away in a small padded room until after the
funerals so that you didn't try to jump into one of the graves with somebody." Percy said, a large smile
spreading across his face.
"That's number two Pers," said George as he slapped his brother on the back, "I'll bet by the end of the
week you'll be playing pranks on somebody, hopefully Ron."
"Since when did you become such a prankster?" asked Mr. Weasley
"Well, I know nobody will ever replace Fred," said Percy, his smile falling a bit, "but I think this family
needs another prankster. Besides, I've been following rules for as long as I can remember, and a wise
person once said, 'all work and no play makes a bad person worse,'." Everybody agreed quickly, not
wanting Percy to become his old stuffy self again.
Suddenly Ron stood up and said, "That reminds me, Hermione and I have been made Head Boy and
Head Girl for next year, so I guess we have to come back."
This brought cheers from the whole Weasley family, every body reacted exactly as Ron had expected
them too, except Percy, who instead cracked a joke about a Weasley dynasty.
Harry spent the rest of the morning talking to friends, reporters, people offering him jobs, and even
people he didn't know. After a while the faces and stories all started to blur together and Harry couldn't
remember, even if he had wanted to, the names of all the people that had come to him, or what stories
to connect them to.
Some of the people he did remember, like Hagrid, who came up to him and started crying, saying
something about when Harry 'died'. He also remembered when the various members of the DA came to
him, all of them saying they would be at Fred's and Colin's funerals. Finally lunch appeared on the
tables and Harry Ron and Hermione dug in like they hadn't eaten in days, which of course they hadn't.
