It was Harry Potter 4th year and Albus Dumbledore was sitting in his office when a parchment appeared on his desk. The title was In Remembrance. There was a note attached, asking him to read it in the Great Hall with everyone after dinner. A list of names was also attached, saying they should be present. The initials on the bottom were HJP, the date 2015.
Later that afternoon, Sirius (disguised as Padfoot), Remus, Tonks, Moody ant the eldest Weasleys appeared on the grounds and made their way into the castle.
After dinner, when everyone had eaten and drank, Albus rose from his chair and announced that something had come from the future and they were to read it all together in the Great Hall
And so he started.
In Remembrance to Severus Snape,
A general gasp was heard throughout the hall. Nobody liked the professor, but they didn' t want him dead either. The man mentioned paled.
a Slytherin who died like a Gryffindor,
As one, all the eyebrows in the great hall shot up. Severus paled even more. Dumbledore chuckled beside him, as if reading his thoughts.
without all the red and gold crap.
The Slytherins snickered while the Griffindors frowned.
In Remembrance to Fred Weasley,
There was a loud shout, and the Weasleys all thew themselves at their brother, tears running down their faces. The Griffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs hung their heads while the Slytherins talked among themselves.
who fought bravely to the very end
Fred smiled at his brother
and whose jokes will forever brighten his other half
George chuckled lightly
and will loyally await his soul mate and brother
"That I will" Fred whispered to his brother
with many jokes he's got forever to think of them, right?
The pranksters nodded glumly.
In Remembrance to Dobby,
Harry and Hermione shed tears
who was more free and full of love than any elf,
Draco Malfoy's eyes narrowed
and most humans.
Harry laughed thickly.
In Remembrance to Remus J. Lupin,
At this, Sirius changed back to human an hugged his friend causing a major uproar. It took 20 minutes and a lot of explaining to calm the Great Hall down.
the last real Marauder
Remus and Sirius lokked at each other
who was not just a wonderful father
"Father? Me? A Father?"
an incredible husband
Remus seemed to choke and Sirius grinned
and brave hero
Most of the Griffindors nodded to their ex-teacher
as well as a freakin' awesome werewolf.
Remus blushed at this
In Remembrance to Nymphadora Tonks,
Tonks' hair turned black
who died for 'the greater good'
Some people looked at Dumbledore
and would probably hex me for calling her Nymphadora.
She grinned at Albus who was reading the parchment
In Remembrance of Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody,
Most people bowed their heads
whose motto 'constant vigilance' kept him alive...
Dumbledore smiled at his friend
and scared the crap out of some kids too.
Those who had had him as a teacher nodded.
In Remembrance of Tom Marvolo Riddle
People frowned in confusion, who was that?
a.k.a. Voldemort,
It took some time for the information to sink in. And then it hit. Songs and dancing all over the place, people celebrating and talking amongst themselves.
who was just a common teenager,
Dumbledore shook his head sadly
but was consumed by his hate.
In Remembrance of Albus Dumbledore,
The hall weant deathly still
whose past and wisdom confused us,
Some of the students started to whisper
whose seeming betrayal shocked us
Betrayal? McGonagall was looking at the headmaster calculatingly
but actually who turned out to be an okay guy in the end...
Sighs of relief could be heard
despite the whole 'almost killing Harry' thing.
The Griffindors growled. Harry was still one of their own, even if they were not talking to him right now
In Remembrance to Bellatrix Lestrange,
More frowns. Why was she mentioned amongst the heroes?
because it's was awesome how Molly slapped her with that Avada Kedavra!
The Weasleys smiled widely
She deserved everything she got.
In Remembrance of Hedwig,
Harry's hand clenched
Harry's actual first friend who lived and died soaring.
He smiled, thinking that maybe his owl went the she would have liked
In Remembrance of Lily Potter,
The last Marauders, Harry and all those who knew her bowed their heads in silence
who died to protect her son,
Harry had tears in his eyes
she made the ultimate sacrifice to make the world a safer place,
Hermione put a hand on her friend's shoulder
she'll always remain in our hearts
In Remembrance to Sirius Black,
Harry screamed and launched himself on his god-father
who never got to walk free,
Sirius was thin lipped
who had to live with a crazy house elf and screaming portrait for a year,
He growled
and who had to get stunned by his cousin and then eaten by drapery
Remus chuckled besides the situation. Only Sirius...
In Remembrance to Regulus Black,
Sirius chocked
who died nobly... a hidden hero, a victim.
Whispers blossomed from the Slytherin table
In Remembrance to the Death Eaters,
Most of the ones in the group mentioned put their hands on their left sleeves
who feared more than followed.
They shivered
In Remembrance to all the others who died fighting for what was right, more than what was easy.
By now, almost everybody had tear tracks on their faces and silence settled in
