Difference

The battle of Hogwarts was coming to an end, and Voldemort had escaped yet again. The battle had now become a small part of the war. It was just another attempt at killing Voldemort. Ron and Harry had just found each other at the courtyard of Hogwarts. Ron ran up to Harry and asked urgently, "Where's Hermione?" "I thought she was with you" Harry replied with a definite tone of worry in his voice. "No I haven't seen her since she left me, and I just realized she never told me where she went!" Harry had a lump in his throat now. He couldn't let anything happen to Hermione, not after all that she had done for them. Harry looked at Ron and could tell he was thinking the exact same thing. "We have to find her." They both said in unison.

Where could she be? Harry thought to himself. They had checked the Shrieking Shack, Hogsmeade, and everywhere in Hogwarts. Ron turned to him and exclaimed in realization, "The Forbidden Forest!" Of course! They broke into a sprint towards the Forbidden Forest, a new hope inside them.

Once they got to the first trees they slowed to a walk and pulled out their wands. Harry walked slowly forward into its depths with Ron not far behind. They kept on turning and jumping at the slightest sound which was quite unusual for them. Harry's thoughts kept straying to the factor of Hermione dying, but he just wouldn't be able to bear it. She is like a sister to him. "Harry, what's that over there?" Ron said pointing his wand off to his left.

Harry looked in that direction and saw what Ron meant. There was something on the ground over there. They gripped their wands tighter and stepped closer to get a better look. Harry got there first and saw that it was a person, a body to be exact. He knelt down next to it and just as he realized who it was he burst into tears and cried out, "NOOOO!" The second Ron heard his scream he bent down knowing what it meant. He bowed his head sobbing. It's entirely my fault! Harry thought as he pounded his fists into a nearby tree.
