FF: New Beginning - Page 3

If the fifth floor was a chaos, then it was certainly nothing compared to the seventh floor.

'Bloody hell!' Ron automatically said as they approached the seventh floor.

The seventh floor corridor was barely recognizable. Great lengths of wall was missing, one of the classroom walls had collapsed and the end of the corridor where there should have been a solid wall and a window was nothing but a clear opening that allowed sunlight to flow in and cover the whole corridor with warm light.

'What happened here?' Hermione exclaimed with shock in her voice.

'Looks like hell broke loose.' Ginny said looking around.

'Most of the giants attacked here and great curses were fired at the people. It looks awful doesn't?' Kingsley said from the classroom near them.

'Major chaos!' Percy said coming towards them from the end with no wall.

Harry though that the words awful and chaos did not even level up to the state of the floor.

'We've been at it since the war. This was nothing in when we started.' Harry heard professor Flitwick say as he motioned a large rock to the opening on the corridor end. When the rock was placed on the opening it instantly got attached to the wall and a crack formed then sealed.

'The castle is highly damaged and it needs time to restore itself we can quicken the restoring process by placing large rocks that fell from the walls and make it look like a crack which can easily be taken care of by the castle.' Filtwick said as he yet again motioned another rock next to the previous one.

'Master has come to help.' Harry heard Kreacher's voice and turned to his left where there was another opening through the wall to a classroom that looked much better and almost to its original state. Kreacher was standing there with around twenty elves who were scattered around restoring the room and the walls.

'Yes I have, Kreacher.' Harry replied with a smile.

'You see fellow elves how humble Kreacher's master is, not only did he defeat the Dark Lord but he also comes to help restore the castle.' Kreacher said to the elves.

'Professor McGonagall said that you need rest so why don't you go down and have tea with the rest and we will continue here.' Harry said to Kingsley, Percy and Prof. Flitwick.

'No Harry it is harder than you see. The castle needs a lot of attention right now.' Prof. Flitwick said turning down Harry's offer.

'But Professor, if you don't rest you will be very weak and ill then it will be even harder to restore the castle.' Hermione said.

'Okay then, we will go and rest after lunch. But we must continue for now.' Kingsley said as Professor Flitwick tried to argue.

The surprising thing Harry thought that this looked like the most damaged part of the castle yet only Kingsley, Professor Flitwick, Percy and some house-elves were helping. The fifth floor had many witches and wizards to help.

'Most of them were restoring the Great Hall and that took a lot of people so they were tired. Professor and I discovered the state of this floor so didn't want to tire more. McGonagall knows so she sent Kingsley and the elves.' Percy told Harry silently when he saw Harry look around for other people.

'Yeah she told us to come here.' Ron said when he heard.

The four of them set to work to help the rest.

At 12 o'clock the elves with Kreacher went after finishing restoring most of the classroom walls, doors and generally the classrooms were taken care of.

'We need to prepare lunch master.' Kreacher told Harry as he and the other elves went.

At half past one Kingsley, Professor Flitwick and Percy reluctantly went to lunch because Hermione kept on forcing them.

'Ginny you better go too.' Harry told her.

'What about you guys?' She asked looking at the three of them.

'We had something to eat in the morning. So you better go.' Ron said.

After a lot of persuasion from Harry, Ron and Hermione Ginny agreed to leave for lunch.

'We better continue if we want this work done.' Ron said.

'Hey Hermione, you wouldn't happen to know any spell or charm or anything else that can fix this, do you?' Ron asked looking desperate.

'Sorry, but no spell I know is strong enough to restore this corridor in a moment and the castle itself is very for any ordinary wizard too magical and powerful. You do know that it took a whole lot of Death-Eaters and Voldermort plus the wizards fighting in the war to bring the castle to this state.' Hermione said slightly discouraged.

Harry knew the reason behind Ron's hurry. He wanted to be with his family and to mourn Fred. The Weasleys are a very humble family they plan to stay and help instead of burying their loved one. Harry wanted to something that would help them quicken the process of restoring the castle so they could get some peace and harmony. The Weasleys deserved it.

Then it clicked.
