For The Better
(A/N: It's really late, and all of a sudden I started typing. I have no idea where this came from but I'm posting it anyways. Please review and tell me what you think!)
It was Ironic
The one thing Voldemort wished would happen,
People to separate
And be weak
Did not, but just the opposite
He had forced the students of Hogwarts
The people of England
And the witches and wizards of the world
To come together as one united force
They forgot about blood and colour
And instead realized
Their one similarity
Which would created a magical bond that could not be broken
By hatred or lies
Because it was fuelled by hope and love
It taught the students
Of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
That if they wanted the world to change, it would start with them
And they would have to change it now
They started with acceptance
Accepting each other
They were forced to mature and grow up
They came together as a school
A school with a goal
to make a change
They did
A great alliance they were
Strong, brave, smart, and determined
With open eyes and open hearts
New friendships blossomed
And romances flourished
How could anyone find love in dark times like these? People would say
But they didn't understand how easy it was
That that was what made them stronger
Voldemort believed that feelings weakened the mind
And weakened power
But no, once again that was not the case
He was very wrong indeed
The impossible was now just an arms length away
And how wonderful that feeling of grasping and holding it in your hands,
close to your heart
Impossible became possible
And it was done
Not easily, though
Lives were lost
Sacrifices made
Hearts torn apart
But in time they were mended with the same substance that created it
Love and hope
Compassion and strength
Voldemort's reign had finally come to and end
The word breathed a great breath of fresh air
Because the world was now a better place
At the beginning, they were children
Naive
Who believed their parents
Never questioning or doubting their beliefs
But they could not be like that if change were to come
They began to think differently,
Seeing better ways
Kinder ways
Those who were cruel learned to find happiness in another's laughter
Those with narrowed vision widened,
And found a new world
They found their world
A better world
Different than all those before
A happier world
At the end,
(Which was only yet another beginning)
They were young men and women
They were survivors
They were no longer naïve
They appreciated life and all it had to offer
And most of all they were thankful
Yes, thankful
Thankful for Voldemort
For he had been the one to create that spark of hate
A spark, which he though would burn down good
But now the students were left with an option:
Either do nothing; stay the way they were,
And watch as their world crumbled to ash
Or use it as a blessing to open their eyes,
See their possibility of change for better
And run with that spark
Which would grow to a fire of good that they could use to fight back against the hate
You know what they chose
And years later, they say to their children:
It is up to us
To choose what we take from a circumstance
Whether good or bad, it does not mater, because
We can take something good, or take something bad from it
If you take the good,
It is the light at the end of a tunnel
For rainy days make things growTill this day they are thankful
Because out of hate, can come love
And out of bad, can always come good
