Harry woke up suddenly. He slowly got up and looked around.
He was in a huge place. Everything was bright white. It was hurting his eyes.
Suddenly, Dumbledore walked towards him.
At this point Harry was very confused.
"Harry, you wonderful boy." Dumbledore greeted.
"Professor." Harry beamed.
Harry suddenly recoiled in terror as he backed away from something that was on the floor. It looked as if it were a miniscule version of Voldemort. It was covered in blood.
"What is that?" Harry questioned. 
"Something that is beyond our help. It's a piece of Voldemort that has been destroyed." Dumbledore said solemnly.
"So is the true then, that a piece of Voldemort lives inside me." Harry  asked.
"Lived." Dumbledore corrected
"It was destroyed many moments ago by Voldemort himself." Dumbledore continued. 
Harry seemed relieved by this.
"You were the horcrux Voldemort  never meant to make, Harry." Dumbledore sighed. 
"I'm sorry Professor." Harry blurted out.
"I didn't mean to. I didn't want to, I made the wrong choice-" Harry said, unable to find the right words.
"Hush my boy!" Dumbledore consoled.
"It is not to dwell over the past and to miss the future." Dumbledore said.
"We all make mistakes." Dumbledore continued. 
"Some make bigger mistakes than others." Dumbledore chuckled, pointing at Harry's scar.
Harry could not help but suppress a laugh.
"Now what am I to do about the last horcrux?" Harry questioned.
"It's up to you." Dumbledore said. 
"Professor, is this all real or is it all just in my head?" Harry asked.
"Of course it is in your head Harry, but why should that mean that this is not real?" Dumbledore said.
"Now where do you reckon we are?" Dumbledore said, looking around.
"It looks like King Cross Station, only it's much cleaner." Harry said.
Dumbledore chuckled. 
"Am I dead Professor? Do I have to go back?" Harry asked.
"You have a choice." Dumbledore assured Harry.
Harry looked surprised.
"But I still need to kill the snake and I have nothing to destroy it with." Harry said, hopelessly.
"You will find Harry, that help will always be given at Hogwarts, to those who ask for it." Dumbledore said warmly.
He began to walk away.
"Professor. Professor!" Harry called.
Yet Dumbledore had walked back into the light and faded into nothingness.
