It was an odd feeling, being back at Hogwarts again.

After months of being away from Hogwarts and then his first time back being that final battle against Voldemort, returning yet again now, but in a post-Voldemort world, was...surreal. Harry didn't really know how to describe it. It was a feeling that was present everywhere, but it was particularly strong here at Hogwarts.

Maybe it was just from seeing all the damage that had been done to the castle, to a place that had been his first real home. A lot of damage had been done to everyone that night, but the damage to the castle was the most easily visible.

He had been told they would meet in the Great Hall, so he followed the familiar path there, maneuvering around scattered debris, his green eyes scanning the broken columns and windows and walls. If he let his mind wander enough, he could easily picture so much of that battle and stir up that grief and guilt that always lingered in the back of his mind, that he wasn't sure would ever go away.

But he didn't let his mind wander now. There was a task to be done, and he wanted to help.

He stepped into the Great Hall, his eyes only briefly noticing the further destruction inside before his attention was caught by the people who were already there. Some of the Weasleys - where was Ginny? - Professors McGonagall and Flitwick. Harry was sure others would be arriving soon as well, but they were great team to start off with.

Professor Flitwick was already making suggestions for how to start, so Harry took a spot in the back of the group. "Sounds like a good plan to me, Professor," he said.
