Chapter-1-Meeting The Riddle

Sophia's POV:

It was spectacular. The fight between Harry & Voldemort. It was the most enthralling scene I have ever seen.

Just now, the fight had been ended. Everyone was in the great hall dressing their wounds, some mourning the deaths of their relatives & family, some just were relieved that everything was alright in the end.

I am alright but the death of Fred has affected me very badly. I just couldn't accept & take it in that Fred, who always laughed, joked around, and did his mischievous things despite many warnings from Mrs Weasley, was dead.

I am a friend of the golden trio. We aren't too close or too unknown to each other that we don't know each other at all. We are pretty good friends but I was more close with Fred & George even when I was in Harry's year. I am a Gryffindor.

The significant reason would be that they both always treated me so affectionately. Whenever I was sad, I didn't need to do anything to be happy, I would just go to Fred & George & everything would be alright.

I went outside into the castle grounds and there was Voldemort's body. I saw Voldemort's body lying on the ground motionless. The one who tortured us all, our families, our friends, the one who was responsible for our lack of peace in life, was dead.

This is the foremost happiest moment in my life. When I was just about to turn & go into the great hall, I saw something shine at the place where Voldemort's body was. The light became so bright in the following seconds that I had to cover my eyes.

After some seconds, I opened my eyes & the shine of light was gone. Now, there was someone else lying at the place where Voldemort lay. My heartbeat started beating fast like anything.

I went towards the body mustering up all the courage I could. The body was not Voldemort now, like I don't understand myself what it is now.
Suddenly, the place where Voldemort's body lay was replaced with a young guy around 17.

He is very handsome indeed with his black robes on. I do not recognize him as a student though because I have never seen him during my time at Hogwarts.

He has a sharp jawline, and dark black hair, just every feature of his face is laudable, and his eyes are closed, as he is unconscious. He has pale skin and black jet hair. He is tall and fine!

Shit!

Somebody tapped my shoulder then, I turned around & saw it was Harry.

"What are you doing here?" He asked me.

"Umm... Nothing, I just came out because I was feeling very empty kind of inside as Fred is no more.", I said to him in a very hesitant tone which he noticed.

"Are you ok?", he asked me in a very concerned tone.

"Yeah I don't know, I am feeling sad, but happy too and I am confused about what"- I was pouring my heart out to Harry but I stopped as I realized I would regret it later and that I had trust issues.

"Nothing.", I said in a stern voice.

He looked at me perplexed, probably thinking I have gone crazy. Well, I have gone crazyyy!!!

Suddenly, I realized Harry's calm and serene face was now covered with shock like pure shock. His forehead was sweating with fear and he was gulping with apprehension.

He was looking at something back at me and his gaze was downcasted.

I turned around and saw the mysterious guy's body lying on the ground as he was consumed by his unconscious state.

"Oh yeah... There was Voldemort's body here a minute ago, Harry, but some flash kind of came, and now, there is someone else", I said in a very casual tone.

I don't understand why am I not scared. Usually, I would have gotten scared of these types of things but now after seeing the battle of Hogwarts and the bravery of thousands of innocent souls. I can't help but feel that this is a thing that doesn't need to be feared.

"Sophia, stay away from him. He is Voldemort!", Harry yelled and dragged my hand to pull me away from that mysterious guy.

"Are you crazy? How he can be!", I yelled and my voice came out slightly shivering because deep down, I was still scared of that name.

"He is Voldemort but a younger one. He is how he was at 16 or 17, I don't know but he is Voldemort!", He said.

"Oh okay, this is scary!",

"We should call someone now.", he said and went running inside the castle.

I too went running back because I was certainly feeling scared seeing that guy now, I don't know who he is or if he is truly Voldemort but I am feeling scared after Harry's reaction.

After some time, we came face-to-face with Professor McGonagall.

"Why are you both looking so pale? Are you both ok?", She asked us a bit frightened herself.

"No, something bad is happening!", Harry said heavily while panting.

"Again?!", McGonagall exclaimed.

"Voldemort is still alive!", Harry said in a stern voice.

"What? No, how is it possible?", She asked.

"The young Voldemort is alive, I mean, he has become young again. I don't know why or how but he is the guy now when he was 17 and he is lying on the grounds of Hogwarts where Voldemort's body was just now lying dead.", Harry explained, and I am sure McGonagall was just as unsure as I was.

"Lead me to that place.", she said in a commanding tone and we led her to the place on the grounds where the supposedly young Voldemort was lying down unconscious.

"Oh my god!", Professor McGonagall exclaimed.

"Call Madam Pomfrey, Harry!", Professor McGonagall ordered.

"No miss how can you"-, Harry was arguing about something but Professor McGonagall cut him off.

"No, Harry, No need to argue. Just call Madam Pomfrey", she said.

After a few minutes, Madam Pomfrey came with a hospital bed, scrolling it down with wheels. She and McGonagall carried Voldemort around their shoulders, put him on the bed and apparated with him in the hospital wing.

Me and harry stared at each other with shocked expressions.

"Let's go inside.", Harry said calmly, even though I am sure a raging tsunami was inside of him.

We went inside the castle where some teachers and students were repairing the castle with magic spells. I think the castle will be fully recovered again and become like the past till evening cuz everyone is quite fast and excited to start with their 7th year again.

Yes, the teachers announced after the fight that they were going to start their 7th year again as it didn't go how they wanted to and they wanted the students to graduate with peace, gratitude, and knowledge.

Every student agreed with it too and shockingly even Draco agreed with it.
Yes, Draco and their parents left but they again came back when they got to know that Voldemort lost but did he truly lose?
