 ooc: we're starting, but anyone can still jump in! Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Filius put on a brave face as he made his way through the castle and surveyed the damage. Thankfully they had won the war, but it had been at such a terrible cost. Lives lost, their beloved school destroyed....but there would be peace now and order was restored. Now to restore Hogwarts.
He knew his colleagues would be here. And he was humbly grateful for the friends that volunteered to come help. His former students, now esteemed members of the wizarding community. They would restore Hogwarts to the glory it once was, and then they'd be well on their way to healing.
Flitwick walked into the Great Hall to wait for the rest of them to meet him there. This might be a good place to start too, he thought, as he looked around. The once magnificent hall took a hard hit.
George hadn't been himself since the battle - since he lost his twin, his mirrored half. And he wasn't sure he would ever be. It was always Fred and George, and now.... now it was just George.
He felt like he couldn't function properly anymore. Like a vital part of him was missing. He hadn't even left the burrow other than to attend some of the funerals and memorial services where everyone seemed to be walking on eggshells around him. People either expected him to be distraught or to be the one to lighten the mood with his famous sense of humor. He wasn't even sure which side of George to show either.
But maybe this would be the first step in the healing that he needed. This was going to be hard, he knew that. But he needed to do it. And at least he would have the rest of his family there beside him.
