Ch. 501Harry Was Now Simply Harry Potter
Brook removed the Voldemort soul fragment from Harry, leaving him relieved and free to live without dying. At a subdued feast at Hogwarts, the survivors mourned their losses as Brook considered how to help them recover.
- Brook used the Soul Transfer Spell and his Zanpakuto to separate Voldemort's soul fragment from Harry, while Hermione soothed Harry's soul with an ancient spell.
- Brook returned Harry's soul to his body and stored the removed fragment in a bottle; Harry thanked him and felt better than ever.
- Brook told Harry that from then on he was simply Harry Potter, and Harry sensed there was more to the remark than he understood.
- Voldemort and Eula left early, while Brook, Hermione, and a small group of students stayed for a feast at Hogwarts.
- The survivors ate in silence beneath the new memorial, still grieving their classmates, and Brook decided they needed a gentle push to recover.
