"Life doesn't always have a happy ending. The dead have proved this."
"We stand here today, beside the victims of war. But who are the real sufferers? The dead are dead. But we live without them. We are missing friends and family. Brothers and sisters. Husbands and wives. We are suffering. They are not."
"Yet they are gone. We will never see them again. No more smiles. No more laughs. They instead rot beneath us."
"Everyone has lost someone. Even those who have nothing and no-one have lost something."
"But I am proud to say that Hogwarts is still here. That castle is proof that we are victorious. It may be crumbling and shattered but it is still standing. And we are standing."
"I will never reveal the truth about what happened in the forest. Nor do I know the full truth myself. But I have survived the killing curse twice."
"I could not have done it without you. My friends, my family, everyone. Without you, many more corpses would stand before us."
"I couldn't have got to the woods without my friends. I couldn't have had the guts to meet him without my family. And I couldn't have fooled the Dark Lord without help from an enemy."
"I owe you all my life. Yeah, I know we have lost much more than we have won but we are alive."
"Life doesn't always have a happy ending. But sometimes, it does."
