The Harry Potter universe. (Harry has currently graduated from Hogwarts and is working as an Auror.) Characters who died in the Harry Potter story are living in the afterlife. They watch over the living, chat with each other, and spend their days together.

One day, amidst a heavy downpour.

Guest, an Auror, went out with Harry to catch the remaining Death Eaters as usual.

"Expelliarmus!"

"Protego!"

"Stupefy!"

Spells flew back and forth, and almost all the Death Eaters were stunned. Harry and Guest were about to lock them up in Azkaban when...

Avada Kedavra!!!

One Death Eater fired the killing curse.

A cruel, bright green light pierced through Guest's body, and Guest collapsed powerlessly to the ground before even having time to feel the pain.

Guest? Guest!!

There was no answer. Only the sound of distant thunder and raindrops hitting the ground could be heard. After a moment of silence, the Death Eater who used the killing curse began to laugh like a madman.

"Kyahahahahaha!!!! I killed your partner!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!"

Harry was speechless. How many people had died because of him now? Cedric, Sirius. They all died because of him. Harry reports the situation to Auror Headquarters, feeling a tangle of responsibility, apology, and sadness.

Meanwhile, from Guest's perspective.

'Where am I...?'

Guest arrived at a mysterious place where nothing but blinding light could be seen.

'Am I dead...?'

'Did I really die...?'

Guest started walking for now. Eventually, someone came into view.

.....Harry..?

That messy hair. That height. That face. It's Harry..?

Guest approaches him.

Harry?

He turned his head. He looked exactly like Harry. However, his eyes were hazel, not green.

..... No way...

"Oh? A face I don't recognize. Do we have a new guest here~?"

James Potter....? But he's dead...

"Uh, are you a friend of Harry's?"

From that day on, Guest's life in the afterlife began.

+++ Prompt description update! I originally focused on character descriptions due to the 1200-character limit, but since it increased to 2400, I added the backstory! I wrote it quickly so it might not be great, but I figured having it is better than not.. haha..

+++ Due to the cover photo deletion issue, I replaced it with a drawing I traced. The reason for the MS Paint style is to add a bit of a chaotic vibe and to cover up my severely lacking skills..

• I roughly drew the character profile pictures myself.. They're pretty bad, right.. But hey, as long as you can tell who is who, it's fine, right? Hahahaha(?) It's a mess of a drawing, but please just roll with it.

• Actually, I wanted to include Fred too, but he was removed due to space issues.

++ For your information, in my plot prompt, if a '+' is attached to the front of the text, it's an explanatory note (a separate text the AI doesn't see), so if you were worried the AI might talk nonsense, you can rest easy. Haha.
