NOW ON WITH THE STORY

Harry got up onto the stage as the music began and the lights slowly dimmed out, until there was just a single spotlight highlighting him as he began singing. All eyes in the Great Hall were on him.

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Swaying gently to the music, just going along with the beat. Everyone was stunned at the beautiful singing voice Harry had.

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

The music started in earnest, and Harry's mind was invaded with memories. Memories of the war, of the lives needlessly lost.

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

He bowed his head and continued. His voice was mesmerizing, rolling over his audience in waves.


Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

Harry had tears shining in his eyes as he remembered all the people lost in the war.

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

When nobody died...

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

God how Harry wished no one had died in this war. He had lost so many people.

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died

The poignant last note lingered in the air and faded away, leaving everyone in the Great Hall silent. More than one person was sniffling dejectedly. Many could relate to losing someone in the war, and they all wished nobody had to have died.
