THE LOST YEARS
A Harry Potter Story.
Prologue: In Memoriam
After carefully avoiding this task for the past two month, I have decided it can no longer be postponed.
This is perhaps the hardest thing I have done for the past seven years. Here is a list of those who perished in the way of Voldemort's ultimate defeat.
Lily Evans and James Potter (Beloved parents)
Cedric Amos Diggory (Loyal friend and hard working student)
Sirius Black (Godfather and friend)
Regulus Arcturus Black (Brave wizard and death eater)
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore ( Greatest Wizard ever, Hogwarts best headmaster, wise counselor and friend)
Alastor 'Madeye' Moody ( Powerful Auror and tireless fighter)
Dobby (A free elf)
Fred Weasley (Brother, son and joyous friend)
Severus Snape (Worthiest Slytherin, death eater and friend)
Colin Creevey (Young and valiant Gryffindor student)
Remus John Lupin (Werewolf, teacher, father and friend)
Nimphadora Tonks (Talented Auror , beloved mother)
Though this names are from people I both cared and admire and I'm sure the list will go on largely, I'd like to remember also those who had lost their lives in Hogwarts battle.
In addition, I would add two names here. This people, though not dead, made the ultimate sacrifice confronting Lord Voldemort. Their names are frank and Alice Longbottom, who were willing to give everything to stand for their believes.
Finally I want to dedicate a thought of gratitude to every person who stood their ground to face evil. To the Hogwarts fighters, I raise my glass.
