My first story – please don't hate on me too much. I also wrote this in about half an hour so – alert me to spelling and grammar errors in a review please. I also got the idea for this from Naruto!
Disclaimer: I do not own HP or Naruto.
The Memorial Stone.
In the highlands of Scotland there exists a castle, within which there is a hall,. And, on one wet spring day, a multitude of people – reporters, government officials, teachers, salesmen, vendors, students and aristocracy were had all gathered there, to hear exactly why they had been called. The clock struck twelve and the gathered assembly fell into silence. A boy – no, a man, with bark-brown hair and vibrant green eyes, that went by the name of Harry Potter, stepped up on to the raised dais and slowly turned to face the crowd. He started to speak, his voice croaky and worn.
"Today" he began, "we are here for a single purpose. All here have personally lost someone close to them in the Battle of Hogwarts, which ended in this very place. In order to honour them, and so that all future generations of students know of the bravery of these people, it is planned that a stone made out of the finest black granite shall have their names carved into it, and their names shall be inlayed with dwarven gold."
Those gathered burst into whispers, and Harry paused for them to stop before speaking again.
"This would be a fitting memorial for them – to have their names immortalised, and their courage known for centuries to come. Do you not believe so? Are your brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives and lovers not worth at least this small token of our thanks?"
At this, the hall broke out in thunderous applause including the portraits and ghosts.
"Voldemort has taken our precious people from us, but they shall live on in our memories and our hearts, forever and always."
In the next year, several hundred names were added to that stone, and Harry Potter visited every day, tracing several names over and over.
Fred Weasley. Nymphadora Tonks. Remus Lupin. Albus Dumbledore. Severus Snape.
He would remember them and their sacrifice for the rest of his days.
And that's all she wrote. Hope you like it XD
