One day I'll hear
The laugh of children
In a world where war has been banned.
"What if he never rose to power?" Lily thought out loud as she sat with the Marauders in their dorm late one night. She recieved several looks from the boys at this but she quickly said, "No I mean... what if You-Know-Who was never born? What if-"
"Lils you know your living in a fantasy world, right?" Remus raised an eyebrow at his friend, who shot him a glare.
"I know! I just thought what if there was no war, and it had been banned?" Lily asked looking at them. They seemed shocked at her but James was first to recover.
"There is aways going to be wars. Always going to be a bad guy." James sighed, "But there would be more happiness if there was no war."
One day I'll see
Men of all colours
Sharing words of love and devotion.
"When this is all over... I mean when we defeat You-Know-Who I'm going see Purebloods shaking hands with Muggle-Borns, or them becoming friends at the very least. They won't be fighting, and there will only be houses to help Teach Us and we won't be sorted on just our Blood-Status but more on who we are. There will be a Muggleborn in Slytherin and a once all Slytherin Family Raised Child in Gryffindor. Ravenclaw won't be the only ones with all the smarts and Hufflepuffs won't be the only ones loyal and just." Lily talked to herself.
"Thats a lot of change. It will take years." Sirius replied wide-eyed.
But Lily shook her head, "Possibly by the time Harry or even Grandkids make it to Hogwarts, there won't be predjuce or the Great Gryffindor/Slytherin Fued any more. It would finally be settled and the SLytherins will be Slytherins, accepted for themselves while Gryffindors will be Gryffindors, not caring about the Slytherins' business."
Stand up and feel
The Holy Spirit
Find the power of your faith.
Open your heart
To those who need you
In the name of love and devotion.
Lily heard the thud of James' Body and gave Harry one last hug before putting him in the crib and whispering, "Mommy loves you... Dadda Loves you." When She saw Voldemort enter she put herself between the snake-faced wizard and her son.
"Stand aside, girl!" Voldemort growled, trying to move her.
But Lily was stubborn. She wasn't about to step aside and let her son be killed. She stood firm and said, "No... not Harry... take me instead."
Then the bright flash of light and she knew it was over she screamed Harry's name before everything went dark... there was no waking up this time. But she wasn't going to let her soul be taken. She was going to watch over her son. She saw James's spirit and he gave her a hug as they stood silently over Harry... where they swore they would never leave his side.
Yes, I believe.
I believe in the people
Of all nations
To join and to care
For love.
Sirius broke out of Askaban and knew where to find Harry. He took it upon himself to go and watch over Harry... he thought back to one of the last days he had seen Lily, how she had said when all this was over, their world... the Wizarding World was going to be a better place. Not just for Harry but for everyone from Slytherins to Gryffindors. Sirius smiled sadly at the memory but then decided he would do anything to protect what he had left of James and Lily.
I believe in a world
Where light will guide us
And giving our love
We'll make heaven on earth.
Sirius fought against Malfoy, he was always a simple opponent. But he saw Harry send a jynx and called out, "Good one, James!" It was out of habit he didn't know why he had called Harry, James but he did. It could be from so many times fighting side-by-side with James it was just hot-wired into his head. He fought Bellatrix and made a bad move just as she hexed him he looked stunned over at Harry, as if to say, 'I'm soo sorry.' As he fell backwards into the viel.

Tonks and Remus happily had a private wedding, and even though Remus didn't mention why he was slightly upset Tonks knew why. They had grown closer after Sirius' death, and Tonks knew Remus still missed James and Lily and on top of everything he missed Sirius as well. They both did. Tonks opened her mouth to say something but Remus spoke, "The last night I saw Lily and James... Lily said that when all this was over. YOu-Know-Who defeated, the world would be better. No more predjuce, no more anything. I remember Sirius saying that it was a lot for a short period of time, and that in other words he really doubted it would ever happen. I thought... at the time... that Lily was right. That even though after their death things would get better. But now I doubt it will ever come."
"Remus, if there is one thing I learned in trying to win your heart. You have to be patient. Maybe this time. Maybe when Harry is done on finding whatever it is he has to find. And kills Voldemort. Then we will finally have peace and this world will finally be heaven on earth." Tonks reasoned and Remus smiled softly, before pulling her into a hug.

Voldemort had just stopped the Battle so those fighting against him could find those who were dead, and wounded. Harry ntered the Great Hall with Ron and Hermione, but Ron pushed past him when he was his family grieving. Harry couldn't stand to know that it was one of the Twins. He saw Tonks and Remus lying side by side. He swallowed hard and made an inside promise to make sure that their son would have a better life. He was tired of Voldemort always getting what he wanted. He was sick and tired of it. He tired of loosing those close to him. He was tired of having the pained memories.
He left. He watched Snape's Memories and realized he just lost yet another person. Another Person fighting to help him win over a better world. He was done. He was done running and hiding for his enemy. He was done fighting his enemy's soldiers. He knew he was ready. He knew he was ready to go after the enemy itself. And in order to achieve the better World. One without Voldemort in it, he would have to sacrifice himself. And he was ready.
Yes, I believe.
He was ready. He was ready to die, and when the snitch opened up and gave him the Resurrection Stone he knew exactly who he wanted to see. James, Lily, Sirius, and Remus. He saw Lily smile at him and heard her say, "You've been so brave." He wanted to know if they would stay with him. But just as Sirius had said before: Once you love someone, they truly leave you. He gave them each a sad smile. Little did he know that when he dropped the stop Lily said to Remus, James, and Sirius, "This. This is the change. This is what will bring us our new World full of peace, laughter, and happiness." The three spirits of the men smiled sadly as they knew what was in store for Harry but nodded, understanding that in order to achieve a better world, their little Harry would have to die.

Teddy had removed himself from the party yet again. And yet again he wasn't talking to Harry. Harry walked up behind the boy, who was staring into a mirror. Harry looked at it and remembered he had once seen his parents in the exact same mirror. But now he saw his family: Ginny and James, Albus and Lily, and all the Weasleys. And in the far back, way far back there, were Remus, Sirius, and his parents. "You know. The people who fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, fought for someone they loved."
Teddy shook his head, "Not my parents."
"Yes they did. Teddy Remus Lupin, you are named after your grandfather, who was killed by Death-Eaters on the shear fact he had no magical blood. You were also named after your father, and even though he was a Werewolf, and sometimes his loyalty was tested, he always remained with those he cared about. He never changed over to become a Death-Eater. He did run off from your mother out of fear while she was pregnant with you but I knocked some sense into him, and he went home... to the woman he loved. He went to the Battle to help me fight for a better world, Teddy. Your mother joined him, knowing the risk she was taking but even if your father tried to persuade her to leave, it wasn't going to happen. She was there. She was helping fight for a better world. One that my parents probably dreamed of having. But you know what, Teddy?"
"What?" Teddy asked looking up at his God-Father.
"We finally got that Heaven on Earth. No more wars in the Wizarding World. No more fighting. And only people united by the fact that they don't want to go back to those dark times." Harry gave a small smile to Teddy, who gave a small one back.

Albus climbed onto the Train and sat down with Rose, James, and their two cousins: Lucy and Dominique. The five sat quietly until the train pulled completely out of the station and Albus asked, "Can you imagine what it must have been like when Dad, Aunt Mione, and Uncle Ron first came on here?"
"I'm sure it was a lot different, Al." Rose huffed.
"What's up Rose?" James asked.
"Nothing. Its just. If you think about it. Nineteen Years Ago, the second Wizarding War just ended. Go back seventeen years before that and James and Lily Potter were probably doing their best to stay hidden. Go forward ten years and you have Uncle Harry emerging as The-Boy-Who-Lived for the first time. Kids grew up hearing his story, and Hogwarts was a lot different back in the 70's versus the 90's versus now... I believe that we have the World that Grandma and Grandpa Weasley dreamed of growing up in. That the original James and Lily Potter died to save Harry so he could get the Wizarding World here. I think Remus and Tonks even wanted to grow up in this. A World Without Voldemort is, for us anyway, Heaven on Earth. If you think about." Rose replied and James looked at her.
"I think Rosie has a point. We have the 'Heaven on Earth' that our Grandparents would have loved to have grown up in. We shouldn't take it as an advantage but as a privledge, after all look at all those who died to get us here. I know I'm upset. But One Day... One Day, we''l hear them laughing and talking and having a great time. That day will be when we have lived out our lives. We will join them. And on that day yes it will be sad but it will also be the day we hear them laughing and talking once more." Lucy smiled at her cousins, who gave small smiles back.
I believe.
Thank you for reading.
This is a beautiful song, and if you could take a few moments to listen to it, that would be great. :)
