"My dear students I know this is a horrible tragedy, and that you may not
understand why this has
happened. However, it has and all we can do now is move on, and try to continue on with our every
day lives." Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry stood in
front of the students his usually twinkling eyes now looking sad and cold.
Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger's best friends sat listening to the Headmaster
as he spoke in a state of shock, they couldn't help but overhear the whispering of all the other
students.
"I just don't get it"
"Why would she do something like this"
"I thought she was happy"
"Well you heard about her and Malfoy right?"
"Come in boys come in." called Dumbledore through the door before either could knock. "I knew
you would come to me sooner or later. I assume you'd like to speak of what happened with Miss
Granger am I correct?" He paused and looked at the two standing before him, they nodded unable
to speak for fear that the tears would start again. "Well I only know and can only tell you what Miss
Granger has left for us herself. I can offer you no more than that at this time. "He pause once
again before picking up a piece of parchment and reading it to them.
"As I lay me down to sleep
I ask you please these words do keep
As I die before you wake
Tonight my life is the one I take
Little did you know little did you see
That this is the way the end would be
I learned so much yet not enough
No ones here to call my bluff
So one by one pill after pill
All this is done because I had free will
This is a reminder I was not insane
A year from now will you remember my name?
Tell me now will you shed a tear?
This being your fault is your only fear
Fine then I'll tell you the truth.
Only I warn you now it's backed up by proof
Some of you probably won't want to hear
Well I'm sorry but you wanted to know why dear
So, sit back now while I tell you my tale
See through my heart there is this nail
It takes the place of heartbreak, pain and sorrow
This is why for me there is no tomorrow
Now listen carefully while this story is told
All my life people have perceived me as bold
Little did they know I'd be the first to let go
Don't blame yourself you didn't know
That's because I hid my pain quite well
Every time you asked I would never tell
How the words tore apart my heart
But now to begin where can I start
Maybe the times I was tossed aside
You never knew because of my pride
How about all the times I cried alone
Then again how could you my pain was never shown
Or how I tend to dwell on the past
And all of the things I wanted to last
All the times nothing went my way
What about the hurtfully words people say
How I learned that love is but a lie
You never knew but each day was a struggle to get by
For every time I was told that my dreams were a joke
And for every criticism that they spoke
What about all the times I made a mistake
All of the choices I was forced to make
How all I've ever known is doubt
Why can't I figure out what my life is about?
For every time I've been heartbroken
And for all of the words I should have spoken
But now finally all my pain will go away
Just remember for you tomorrows another day"
By the time the Headmaster had finished reading Harry and Ron were both sobbing.
"Headmaster, please I still don't understand, why would she do this?" Harry looked at Dumbledore
with tearfilled eyes. "This just doesn't seem like something Hermione would do." "Harry, Ron, I wish
I could give you the answers which you seek but I cannot for I do not know all at this time. But
hopefully on day soon I will know something which I can share with you. As for now though you are
both excused from your classes for the rest of the week. Now please go and get some rest, if you
shall need me I am always here." "Thank you Headmaster. Come on Harry let's go make sure
Ginny is ok." Ron said helping Harry up from the chair and out the door. The Headmaster took a
moment then looked to the right of his desk and said," Mister Malfoy, why don't you take off that
cloak now and sit and talk with me for awhile."
