Harry's P.O.V.

I had finally killed Voldemort. Finally after all this death and tragedy I finally ended him. But why do I feel like a big part of me is missing? Why do I fell like my heart was crushed. I suppose it's the aftermath of all of my friends dying. Everyone and everything I've ever known, gone, dead, I'll never see them again.

But when I think about it, their deaths, I didn't feel anything from that. No tears. No sobbing at the thought of everything gone. Just numb. But when I think about Voldemort and Draco and all the bad people. I tear up and I feel as though I had killed them myself. Though I suppose I sort of did do that.

I spot something shiny out of the corner of my eye and walk over to it. As I walked past the dead bodies strewn across the battle field I feel myself growing weary. I knew it was almost my time to go but curiosity moved me to the shiny object. As I step in front of it I notice that it is a necklace. Upon closer inspection I pick it up, and when I do I was sucked into a dark vortex.

I felt agony as though as though if my body was crunching together and stretching so hard it hurts. I felt myself get twisted in so many directions when finally couldn't bare the pain anymore. I closed my eyes and fainted.

When I woke up again I noticed that I was in a familiar looking place. It was . . . My cupboard!? But how? And then I noticed I was significantly smaller than my seventeen year old body. I was wearing very baggy clothes as well. Did that mean I was back in the past? I contemplated on that specific thought until thundering came down from above me. It stopped after it passed where I was at and climbed back up untill it was right over me.

"Wake Up Harry! It's my birthday!" I heard Dudley's voice ring out. He didn't stomp on the stairs like he did before. I came out of my "room" and met him next to the stairs. His eyes met mine and he grinned. He ran up to me and hugged me. I blushed a bit not used to human contact. "Umm good morning?" My timid voice rang out and it sounded like bells for some reason. His face got a bit red but I paid no heed towards it. He let go but grabbed my hand and led me into the living room where Vernon and Petunia were.

They looked over to where we were at and smiled. A genuine smile that was pointed at both Dudley and I. I slightly waved at them and smiled. Then Petunia asked politely if I could cook the rest of breakfast for them. I told them yes because I felt sort of weird. I soon finished breakfast and made coffee. I put them out evenly on all of the . . . four? Plates that were out. I quickly brought the plates over to the table so they wouldn't suddenly get angry at me. To my surprise they smiled and thanked me for the finished product.

"So Dudley do you want to go to the zoo today? We can bring Harry with us well. After all he has been obsessed with animals lately. Remember the honey badger he brought home. And the raven and the lion cub and the snake and more?" He asked Dudley and laughed at the last part. I blushed at my supposed animal obsession and chuckled nervously.

"Sure dad can we also get icecream on the way?" Dudley answered after everyone laughing at my 'antics'. "Sure son." Vernon told him. After everyone finished their food we went out to the car. This time Vernon didn't hurt me or warn me. He just opened the door for me and let me in. This time Dudley's friend didn't come so we had more room. We got icecream as expected and when Vernon asked me what flavor I wanted I blushed and shyly said vanilla. I couldn't finish it all so when we got to the zoo I threw it away.

Vernon paid for the tickets to get in and we immediately went to the snake section. I gazed at all the snakes they had, amazed at the way their scales shine and glimmer as they move. When we got to the boa constrictor Dudley had yet to let go of my hand and I looked at the snake in the eyes as he gazed into mine. He suddenly said that I looked gorgeous and I blushed so hard I thought my face would melt. I said thanks and I used my magic to will the glass away so the snake could be free. He slithered away and looked back to me as Dudley hid behind me gripping onto my hand tightly. He told me thanks and that I would be rewarded one day. I told him that there was no need. Then he left and everything was calm again.

Vernon and Petunia ran up to both me and Dudley in worry about what happened. I was surprised that nobody really questioned what happened and that I wasn't hit like I was "back then". They immediately brought us home and hovered over us. All Dudley did was hold onto me tighter. Then he suddenly announced, "I want Harry to sleep with me. Please mummy? Daddy?" They of course said yes so after we all took a shower and got our pajamas on we went to bed.

I shyly peaked into Dudley's room and called out his name. "Dudley?" I opened the door wider and looked him when I saw him sitting on his bed waiting for me. "Oh come in Harry I hope you don't mind that we are sleeping together I just . . . don't want to be away from you." I smiled and nodded, "I get it. And It's fine I don't mind." With that I crawled into his bed and snuggled against his talk body. He in return hugged me and soon we both fell asleep dreaming of things that may or may not happen.
