After the War. (Harry Potter short stories)

Resurrection Stone

Warning: Actual tears

Imagine George Weasley after the battle, walking through the forbidden forest.

He sees a small glimmer in the mud, and bends down to examine it. He clasps his hands over his mouth, tears rolling down his face. It's the Resurrection stone.

He runs back to Hogwarts, when a small sound comes from the corner of the room. It's a second year, their mother had died in the war.

George looks at the stone, then at the child.

He starts sobbing, but he knows what is right to do.
