Melia opens her eyes. She looks around, but her eyesight is blurry and she has to blink a couple of times to see right. After blinking a few times she sees she's lying outside in the garden of her house. She gets up from the ground and sees that her clothes have changed into a white long dress and that the garden looks whiter than she remembers. She sees the koi fishes swimming in the pond. To her right, a disgusting creature lies on the ground. It almost looks like a miniature Voldemort, she noted as she moved closer. Then she heard something that sounded a lot like a piano playing from inside the house. She walked slowly inside and saw a young woman sitting by the piano playing her mother's favourite song, Fly.
"Mom?"
The woman stops playing and turns around looking at her beautiful daughter, "Camellia, oh how beautiful you have turned out. You look so grown up." Melia furrows her brows in confusion as her mother embraces her, but she hugs back nonetheless.
"Where are we?"
"Our house--"
"I know that, but you're dead. And-- and I'm also dead..." she says looking down at the floor. Olivianna takes a finger under her daughter's chin and makes her meet her eyesight, "Not yet. You have a choice, Melia. You can either stay here or you can go back. What do you choose?"
"I-- I don't know. What if I chose to stay here?"
"Then I'll accept it, but remember everyone you leave behind. Come here, honey," Olivia takes her daughters hand and walks towards the photo table. She grabs one of the larger photos Melia had never seen before and shows it to her. Melia took it and saw Draco holding her body, crying hysterically asking for her to come back. She sees the trio crying silently and the other students standing around her and Draco. Then Blaise suddenly comes up beside Draco and tries to calm him down.
"What is this?"
"This is what is happening right now. Do you really want to leave everyone like that?"
"No--"
Olivia smiles at her daughter, "You'll have a chance to be with me and dad later, but now is not your time. But it may be soon, honey. I'm gonna give you a choice. You know the necklace we left behind? That necklace has all of mine and your father's magic in it. After we casted that spell on you, we hid our magic there for you to use. You have already used it well-- Now, for the choices. With that necklace, you can revive the people you lost."
"What?"
"By giving up your necklace you can save a few people, like Sirius, Remus-- and Rosie."
Tears start streaming down Melia's face, "I can save them?"
"Yes, but it'll come at a great cost. I see into your future that you'll not have a long happy life, but a short happy life. Live your days as if it was your last. You never know when it will be the last time."
"And if I choose to not give up the necklace, I will live a long and happy life without the people I lost?"
"That's right," she nods her head and hugs her mother one last time. Then a white light consumes her and she wakes up again, but this time in Draco's arms. He looks at her, wondering if it's real.
"Hey--" her sentence gets cut off as she feels a pain in her stomach and her heart. It seems she was able to get back, but her wounds weren't healed. Am I really going to die again because of my wounds?! As the thought went through her mind, an orange bird came flying down. Fawkes. She landed beside Melia and healed her wounds with her tears. Her breath starts to become normal again and she smiles at the bird thankfully. It almost looked like it smiled at her before flying away. Melia looked back at her Love who had tears streaming down his face. She wiped them away with her thumbs and he kissed her hard.
Some people in the crowd started whistling and they broke apart. Melia blushed a little as she saw all the people standing around them. They got up from the ground and she was attacked right away by hugs. The trio all hugged her, crying. She just smiled, feeling happy about her choice. They let go of her and Melia grabbed Draco's hand, hauling him with her and the trio. They started walking over the bridge and stopped in the middle looking at the destroyed castle.
"Why didn't it work for him? The Elder wand," Hermione asks Harry as he takes it out, studying it.
"Because it answers to another. When he killed Snape, he thought the wand would become his. But the thing is... it never belonged to Snape. It was Draco who disarmed Dumbledore that night on the Astronomy Tower," they look at Draco who looks away. "From that moment on, the wand answered to him. Until the other night... when I disarmed Draco."
"But that means--"
"It answers to me," Harry takes the wand above his knee and breaks it in two. Hermione and Ron gasp. Harry ignores them and tosses the pieces down the bridge. He places himself by the edge of the bridge looking out into the horizon. Meli stands beside him, holding his hand and laying her head on his shoulder. Draco comes up beside her and places his hand on her lower back. Hermione and Ron do the same on his other side.
"I can't believe it's over."
"Me neither," Melia smiles up at Harry before putting her head on his shoulder again. It's over...
