An immense amount of emotion floods throughout my entire body...

Then I feel it-

The relief.

The happiness.

The sadness.

A tremendous amount of feeling disparities at once, the euphoric desires now gone, quickly replaced with the flick of Ben's wand, as a simple Bombarda shatters the Well into nothing-

The Well of Erised is gone.

This is amazing, we're free of its influence and-and...

My heart shatters into infinite pieces as it shrivels up deep inside-

I'm disgusting.
...
Ben feels his ears ring as the dust clears all around the valley, the once lively and glowing vale is now only filled with the sounds of pained groans and a cool breeze-

Ben finally tugs the ropes off of him and looks around before spotting the broken Well, the waters gone without a trace, not even a hint of liquid ever being within the ancient rock-

Ben lets out a tired sigh before looking around anxiously,
"Is everyone alright?"

Tulip whimpers as Tonks keeps her pinned to the ground,
"I've felt better... because right now I'm feeling pain both on the inside and out..."

Tonks leans closer and asks cautiously,
"What do you mean by pain on the outside?"

"I'm trying to say that you're straining my arm-" Tulip chokes out before Tonks pulls off of her and helps her up,

"I'm sorry about that red... but you were acting crazy over a water fountain-"
Tonks says slowly-

Tulip rubs her sore arm before closing her eyes,
"No-I deserved that... more than you know..."

Barnaby stands over Liz triumphantly,
"Yay! All the witches are free from the evil grasp of the wishing well!"

Liz gets back up as Ismelda walks up to her fellow former Slytherins and grumbles,
"For the last time, not every witch was head over heels over him- unlike you Merula."

Merula wipes some dirt off of her green dress and snaps,
"I don't want anyone here to say a word about what transpired here! Actually, I think I need a therapist- or a bucket to thrown up into-"

As Merula heaves over into a nearby bush, Ismelda sighs sadly as Ben gives her a small hug,
"I still wish you allowed me to kill anyone who got in our way, Bennie~"

Murphy shudders as he lifts himself up onto his wheelchair,
"Please never say that again..."

Charlie gives the commentator a pat on the back,
"I'll hear it again- because it means it's over! We won! Er... sorry about stunning you Skye- I-"

Skye raises her hand knowingly,
"Save it Weasley- you made the right call- but if you feel that bad about it, you could join the Wigtown Wanderers in the reserve team-"

"I'm already feeling so much better!" Charlie proudly and quickly utters, and Rath gets up and crosses her arms as she observes everyone else get onto their feet in silence-

Liz helps Jules onto her feet and asks quietly,
"Are you ok-?"

Jules looks down at a frozen in place Andre,
"Yeah... at least physically... although someone's going to have to help my cousin out- I may have been a little overkill-"

Barnaby quickly jumps to save his boyfriend from his frozen state while Orion hums happily as he approaches Victor,
"All has come to peace... despite what this magical Well has inevitably caused..."
