Chapter 7 Alternate: The Ghost Children of Hogwarts

Time Skip: Ten Years Later

The little group of children, now adults, from the mansion by Wool's Orphanage stand proudly amongst the other graduates from Hogwarts. They seem to be the only relaxed ones, knowing that no pranks will be pulled on them by Hogwarts' two little prankster ghosts. Just like Peeves, these two have a knack for making one's day awful.

One of them should be graduating with the others, but instead he watches, enthralled by the massive amount of people he could prank.

"Harry, don't even think about it."

The little boy turns around to look at his best friend. "Come on, Tom. It'd be our goodbye present to all of them." Suddenly his expression turns sad. "I wish I could have graduated with them."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. You tried to save me, but it was just to late, Tom. No use crying over spilled pumpkin juice."

And it wasn't. Tom really did try to save his friend but it was too late…

Flashback:

The children and adults on the side of good scream Harry's name and start running towards the wreckage, but Tom gets there first, throwing off the rubble to unearth the snowy faced boy. He isn't breathing…

Tom shrieks, trying his hardest to send life into his friend. But he just can't. Harry's dead. And his soul, "It's okay, Tom," pops up to prove it. His skin is white and his eyes are more luminesant than ever. He blinks at him before reaching out and plucking the diary with both of their blood on it now. With his other hand he lights his body on fire, as well as the Orphanage, suddenly able to use some of his hidden magic.

"It'll be okay," he whispers.

End Flashback

Underneath the school after the ceremony, they smile and dance around and around with the other ghosts, singing:

"Kagome, Kagome

The bird in the cage, when, oh when will it come out

In the night of dawn, the crane and turtle slipped

Who is it in front of behind?"

And now we reach the end.
