Eternal

Hogwarts will be eternal

Battered, bruised, broken

It will revive itself

And it shall live on

Maybe not the same as before

Painful memories, tears, sadness, death, misfortune

All these will hang low in a smothering haze

But love will triumph soon

Trust will be rebuilt

Friendships will be renewed

And Hogwarts will prove to be home to many strong witches and wizards

As it has always been

Maybe the physical building, the empirical castle is no longer as grand, as awe-inspiring

But the institution, the idea of Hogwarts will inspire a sense of warmth

Of belonging

Of security

That's how it's always been

That's how it always will be

Hogwarts is eternal

It will live on in the hearts of witches, wizards, squibs and Muggles

Hogwarts will live on…

Author's Note: A tribute to Hogwarts the greatest school there ever was.

There may be more chapters. Depends on my muse!
