Have you ever thought about how Harry wasted a huge opportunity when he dropped the Resurrection Stone in the Forbidden Forest?
Okay just imagine if he had kept it.
He dies, comes back, defeats Voldemort…
Only now there are over one-hundred people who have died in just The Battle of Hogwarts alone. Not to mention all of those names that were read on the radio throughout the year. (And everyone else who died before then.)
So the Golden Trio gets this idea…
They quickly spread the word and pretty soon, Harry sets up a room in Hogwarts with nothing in it but a desk and a chair. He sits in the chair behind the desk and calls people into the room one at a time.
Harry insists that the Weasleys be the first to enter. And so George walks in, puffy-eyed but smiling, and asks Harry what the big secret is.
Harry then plops an ordinary pebble into George’s hand.
George is very confused until he hears his name being whispered from behind him. George turns and of course there’s Fred. And the two twins are able to properly say goodbye to one another.
Harry then allows the entire Weasley family to come in and they all huddle around Fred’s spirit and are able to say goodbye. And of course Mrs. Weasley drags Harry out from behind the desk and he joins the family hug.
Are you crying yet?
Because I am.
But let’s keep going.
Mrs. Weasley’s hand brushes against the stone and Fabian and Gideon appear to say goodbye to their sister.
After the Weasleys finally leave, Harry brings Dennis in so that he can say goodbye to Colin.
Harry then individually brings in the family member(s) of the unnamed one-hundred students who died during the Battle of Hogwarts.
Harry then brings in Luna so that she can say goodbye to her mother.
He brings in pretty much all of Hogwarts so that they can say goodbye to Cedric.
He brings in Aberforth so that he can say goodbye to Albus and Ariana.
He brings in those who want to say goodbye to Snape.
He brings in Kreacher so that he can say goodbye to Regulus.
He brings in the rest of the house-elves so that they can say goodbye to Dobby.
And when Harry is done letting everyone else say goodbye to their loved ones, he closes his hand around the stone.
The first one to appear is a beautiful white owl who flies over to Harry and allows herself to be affectionately petted.
Then of course the others appear, just as they did in the Forbidden Forest on that fateful night. Harry doesn’t talk to them for too long, he’s grown up a lot since the Mirror of Erised, but he is able to make peace with his loved ones’ sacrifices.
And even then, he still keeps the stone.
He doesn’t use it again. Not personally, anyway. In fact, he stores it in a dusty box on the mantel in his house. He doesn’t use it. But he doesn’t forget it, either. Because he needs it for one last task.
And when the boy with the turquoise hair is old enough to understand, Harry gently sits him down and places a stone in his hand.
And Teddy Lupin meets Remus and Nymphadora.
Okay I wasn’t crying til that last one
Okay but hear me out
Professor Mcgonagall and Teddy Lupin
Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Ron and basically everyone being super busy one day so there’s no one to take care of 2 year old Teddy. ”All right Potter,” Mcgonagall says, popping up in the middle of his living room. “I will watch over him. Go and do whatever you have to do.” Teddy Lupin sitting in the Headmistress’ office, crying because he misses Harry and Ginny. Mcgonagall transforming into a cat to comfort the boy. By the time Harry comes to pick him up, he’s curled up next to Mcgonagall, fast asleep. After that, whenever the Potters are busy, Harry sends Teddy to “Aunt Micky” to play Mcgonagall practically beaming as an eleven year old Teddy Lupin is called up to be sorted by the Sorting Hat. An eleven year old Teddy Lupin watching his Aunty Micky in awe as she addresses the entire student body. Teddy Lupin popping into the headmistress’ office because he feels like he’s failing potions. Mcgonagall calling up Professor Longbottom to her office and the three of them having tea together. Neville comforting Teddy and explaining that he himself was never good at Potions and it would take some practice, but he would get it eventually. A fourteen year old Teddy Lupin being sent into the headmistress’ office for hexing a Ravenclaw boy who was insulting Bill Weasley. “But professor, he had it coming of course. He was saying all those horrible things directly to Victoire’s face. Of course I had to do something.” Mcgonagall taking 20 points from Hufflepuff, but letting him off with a warning. “And please, fix Mr. Flint’s face as well. It would do no good for him to walk the grounds looking like that.” Mcgonagall warning all students with a special announcement at dinner that no one was to leave the castle because of some unknown dangers lurking in the Forbidden Forest. Sixteen year old Teddy Lupin sneaking into the Forbidden Forest past curfew with a couple of Slytherin and Gryffindor friends. Teddy Lupin being hauled by Filch to the headmistress’ office at 2 in the morning. Teddy Lupin standing in front of the headmistress’ desk, his head hung slightly as his friends tried to come up with excuses. Teddy standing with his arms folded over his chest, his eyes focused on the floor, refusing to meet her gaze. Mcgonagall ushering the other students out of her office, then taking a seat at her desk. Mcgonagall waiting for Teddy to sit down by himself. Teddy Lupin feeling like the worst person ever for betraying his Aunt Micky like that. Teddy Lupin opening his mouth to form some sort of apology but is interrupted. “What you have done tonight reminds me of a group of students that attended Hogwarts years ago.” Teddy looking up at her for the first time all night. He did not expect her to say anything like that. “Yes, these four students seemed to get into trouble every single day. It is quite possible that they hold the record for the most detentions in a single year.” Teddy Lupin not understanding why she’s telling him this. Minerva Mcgonagall looking at him with a piercing gaze before continuing. “Despite all of this trouble, these four boys were absolutely amazing. They were amazing wizards, far more talented than most of the students in their year. And I loved them as if they were my own sons.” “Professor I still don’t–” “Would you like to see what kinds of trouble they would get into?” “I don’t understand Professor.” Mcgonagall taking a deep breath before answering. “I trust Potter has shown you his memories of your father.” Teddy Lupin nodding slowly, still unsure as to what was happening. Minerva Mcgonagall bringing Teddy Lupin to the Pensieve and showing him, for the first time, who Remus Lupin truly was. Harry Potter knew the Remus who had been hurt and affected by the First War. He knew all of the pain and suffering that was felt during this time. Minerva McGonagall knew the Remus Lupin before the war. She watched the social outcast find a family. She watched him grow. She saw him let his walls down and become more carefree. She stood by as he broke the rules and learned from his mistakes. She knew the real Remus Lupin. Teddy Lupin not being able to handle all of the memories at once. Teddy Lupin coming back three times a week to learn new things about his father, and even a few about his mother. Teddy Lupin, for the first time ever, truly understanding the sacrifice his father made so that he could live in a better world.
