Innumerable
He looked around at the bodies littering the field. He didn’t want to count how many there were, how many were friends, how many were foe, how many were dead and how many were simply cursed. Only one mattered, and Voldemort’s robes lay rumpled at his feet, his soul already banished to the depths of the Christian Hell. Victory over Voldemort didn’t lift the burden he had carried for so long, however. The burden had simply changed; now he carried the weight of having killed another, killed many others, and Harry knew he would bear that burden for innumerable days.
