You make me worthy of love
And beautiful
You make me worthy of love
And beautiful
No matter what has happened over these past six years, I have always had friends who stood by me. From the moment the troll tried to attack me in the bathroom my first year, my life was changed, and for the better.
It could never be changed back.
Harry, Ron, and I have had our ups and downs, but we've always gotten through everything fairly all right. They've always been there for me and they know I'm there for them. We have gone through pains and deaths, things that have made us age much more quickly than any of us would have liked, but at least we have each other.
Through Harry and Ron, I have gained friendships with people I never really would have talked to, if it weren't for them. Neville Longbottom has become an amazing friend and a trustworthy ally. Luna Lovegood has shown her dedication to our cause after only a few months of knowing us. Ginny Weasley is like the younger sister I never had, my female confidant and aside from the two boys, my best friend. Remus Lupin has almost become my mentor and Sirius Black's loyalty to his family and friends was so incredibly strong, something I admire greatly.
And then there are those who are only mere acquaintances, but people who have helped change my life, possibly for the better. All of the members of Dumbledore's Army, save for Marietta Edgecombe, are part of that group.
Not only have I gained friendships, but I have also gained a family. The Weasleys have practically taken me in like a second daughter. They've helped house me for the past few summers through a lot of things and have never made me feel out of place. Other than the occasional misunderstanding or two, they have always welcomed me with open arms.
I love my parents and I sometimes wish I could spend more time with them, but it's very nice to be around wizards who aren't confused if I bring a magical topic up. Plus, I feel like I am surrounded by a bunch of crazy siblings, something I've always wanted. And I know Ginny loves having me around as sometimes the testosterone level gets to be too much sometimes.
Because of the boys, I have gained many things. I am more confident in my abilities with each word of praise that passes through their lips. I feel like I can stand up for myself, but I don't worry if I need someone to fall back on. I have learned how to trust others and discovered what true friendship really is. They have given me support and helped me to remember that even though others will judge, not everyone will.
They have given me a type of love I never thought existed. Because of that, I am forever in their debt.
It's the greatest feeling in the world.
