Brave wizards and witches showed their colours true
By siding with the Order, or You-Know-Who.
Fighting for what each individual felt to be right
Each spirit a light.
Each book filled with battles and strife,
Yet geniusly finding ways to celebrate life.
Casualties on both sides,
Yet battles raged on and neither broke strides.
Cedric Diggory, Sirius Black, Albus Dumbledore
Mad-Eye Moody, Dobby the House-Elf, Fred Weasley.
In Memoriam, we light a candle.
Severus Snape, the friend most people did not believe we had.
In Memoriam, we light a candle.
Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks.
In Memoriam, we light a candle.
To our comrades in spirit not given a
chance to support us from the earthly plane,
In Memoriam, we light a candle.
To those who dare fight current world evils,
Who find the bravery, loyalty, wit, and cunning to continue on,
In Memoriam, we light a candle.
With this final candle we bid farewell
To a world that has enchanted those who opened to its pages and bid the wish
That it will remain in our hearts forever.
In Memoriam, we light a candle.
