"Hello, listeners. This is Lee Grant, formerly called River. Welcome back to Potterwatch. I'm here...I'm here with Tentacula, also known as George Weasley. This will be our last broadcast. We will read out the list of those who fell a week ago, at the battle that took place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

A faint pause, and the sound of papers being shuffled.

"Colin Creevey, fifth year." Lee said, somber for one of the few times in his life.

It had been decided that the houses would not be mentioned.

"Lavender Brown, sixth year." George picked up the next name, setting a pattern that would be carried on throughout the cast.

"Severus Snape, Defense against the Dark Arts professor."

"Nymphadora Tonks, Order of the Phoenix ."

"Remus Lupin, Order of the Phoenix."

The names droned on, listing all of the fallen students and teachers.

It didn't matter if anyone was listening, it felt right to let it out, to let everyone know.

Quite suddenly, Lee and George chocked up.

"F-Fr-Fredric Weasley. Co-owner of Weasley' Wizard Wheezes."

The two boys went mute.

"Thank... thank you for listening."

The static, ever persistent, grew louder, and cut out the soft sound of crying.
