Albus Dumbledore cleared his throut and looked around the great hall sadly and began to talk.
"I am sad to say that we have one less student returning this year. Yesterday one our students passed away. This student has not had a good life and in this past year he has been admitted to St. Mungo's a total of 18 times for severe depression. At the begginning of the summer his family was imprisoned for life for the longterm abuse and rape of this boy." He looked around at the shocked faces in the room and carried on.
" After their imprisonment this boy was diagnosed with acute schizophrenia and moved to a mental facility. This summer he attempted suicide 5 times, adding to his previous 4 attempts to make 9. He was put on suicide watch and was found to be a frequent self-harmer." He paused again.
" Yesterday at 6:30pm, Mr Harry Potter finally succeded in taking his own life by purposly taking an overdose of muggle painkillers. I do not want you to think that Mr Potter took the 'easy way out' as he was severly depressed after the deaths of his godfather and his two best friends Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley who were killed in action and the horrendous abuse by his relatives. Remember a kind, loving boy who cared for everyone. Remember a boy who, although everyone thought he was perfect, had his faults. Remember a boy with terrible loyalty and intelligence and who despite all his hardships in life, never faultered to help other people. Remember Harry." He finished and a single tear ran down his wrinkled cheek. There was not a single dry eye in the room as the world remembered Harry. Not the boy-who-lived, just Harry.
