She had realised that everything was now in the past, the past seven years of desperately trying to keep her friends alive was over, they were safe, she didn’t have to worry about falling behind on school work or getting expelled, her relationship with Ron was no longer on the cusp trying to force something that was never meant to be, that was over too, her family had gone, they had either died or didn't remember her anymore. She was truly free and slightly alone, it was sad, really sad, but free nonetheless. Everything she did now was for her, was for her future, she could shape it however she wanted. She was having this epiphany, fully immersed for the first time in months and she felt exhilarated.
