/N: For the poetry bootcamp competition, prompt #28: hope. The battle at Hogwarts, final scene…and a fitting way to end, even if I didn't plan it this time. :)

And that's it. 50 poems for the Poetry Boot Camp. My first Boot Camp complete.

The End

No-one could ever say
that more hearts
had ever joined
save in that very moment

When red and green met in the air.

Breaths were held,
hand were clasped,
and the ever-present organ
sung pit-a-pat-pat

And when green threaded past
they hoped
and preyed

And when red pushed through
and overcame
they cheered
and the golden chain
disconnected into a disarray
of relief, joy and first tears
of their aftermath.
