Summary:

This chapter is so hard to write. I regret everything. R.I.P. Luna Pandora Lovegood I'm so sorry is all my fault I'm a terrible author

The nine people who fought in that war were kings and queens, and Sirius was the prince. He missed the Marauders spirits desperately, but without the Master of Death they couldn't stay.

For each King or Queen a throne had been erected, ergo, there were nine thrones.

Yet one throne had the broken pieces of Luna's soul on it.

The throne between Ron and Ginny looked perpetually empty, and Ginny cried every day.

Today was the nine year memorial of Luna's death, and everyone was crying. Their palace was called the Palace of Silence, and the once noisy halls of Hogwarts remained silent from the people inside. Nobody spoke. Nobody at all, in fact, people rarely spoke at all in Britain anyway, nine was the number that broke us. It broke Britain. The isle of Silence.

Nine was eight, and Silence reigned. They all died, of course they did, that's how this works.

Sirius died first.

He was a man who wanted fun and would never have survived in this silent place anyway.

George died second.

Fred died third.

George died fourth.

Fred died fifth.

As soon as he was revived, Fred took George's hand, and together, they jumped from the Astronomy tower into the Black Lake, falling, falling, hoping to die. Hands entwined, they saw Luna's pristine body looking at them blankly. They said stared at it, seeing no trace of the girl they knew, looked at each other and simultaneously breathed in the murky waters, sinking to the bottom to never to be seen again.

Hermione died sixth.

In an attempt to free house elves, Hermione had been viciously torn apart by their knives.

Ron died seventh.

Shaken by the death of his brothers and his girlfriend, he passed away quietly in his sleep.

Draco died eighth.

There had never been anything left for him in this world, anyway.

Neville died ninth.

Who would want to be alone in a palace with her, weeping for Luna every day? Even his plants died from it.

Harry died tenth.

His last words had been, "I still love you, Gin;" as she watched him die, too old to carry on.

Yet Ginny did not die, nobody left to love her, only a room of empty thrones. She had never told Luna she loved her, and missed her so much. She looked in the mirror, and saw only a girl who should be dead... and Luna gave it to her.

Wandless Avada Kedavra to her heart and she was dead.

Ginny died last.
