When he got to the edge of the forest, Harry slowed, panting. His fingers scrabbled at the dirt. Perhaps it was here. Or here. Or here . . ."
Harry couldn't remember falling; but the next thing he knew he was facedown on the forest floor, breathing in the musty scent.
He felt his hope fizzle out as swiftly as it had come. How would he be able to find such a small stone in a forest full of them? It was nearly impossible. And besides, Harry thought dully, It doesn't really bring them back anyways.
Harry didn't know how long he lay on the forest floor before a small hand gripped his shoulder.
He jerked his head around, alarmed, to find Ginny. Her eyes were red and puffy.

Mrs.Weasley burst into fresh tears upon seeing him, and Hagrid pulled him into a rib-cracking hug. Ginny buried her face into her mothers shoulder; Harry sighed. This was going to be a very long night.
This is really short. sorry about that. . .
