Chapter 37: Leaving Hogwarts
Cho's parents came and left by the time they got back to Hogwarts. Lucious Malfoy was interrogated by Remus and a full court of Wizards. He ended up going to Azkaban which was no longer guarded by the Dementors.The two weeks past quickly afterwards and many people were going to Madame Pomfrey for slight depression. This year they not only had one student die but two with in two days of each other. Harry, Ron, and the other packed their trunks and went down to the Great Hall. When they entered they noticed that it wasn't decorated in the winning houses colors but in black like it had been for Cedric Diggory's death. Everyone sat down and the Great Hall was silent.
" The school year has come to another end. It's been unlike the school years you've all had before, the attacks against the school and the ministry are getting worse, I advise all of you to stay alert over the summer. Instead of decorating the Great Hall in the colors of the Gryffindor house colors, we are drapped in black to remember those two students whose lives were taken away from us at such a young age. One was taken away because evil corrupted the mind of a great friend, student, daughter, and person. Some of you might of saw Zoe Williams as being immortal but it just goes to show what power Voldemort has over people. The other life that was taken away from us went out fighting. She fought like a true Ravenclaw, on the side of good. She went out saving a friends life. Cho Chang didn't die in vain, like Zoe Williams she was a great friend, students, daughter, and sister. Both these students will live on in your hearts as long as you hold on to them. I hope that most of you learned alot about Voldemort through these two. Lorne has prepared to sing a song dedicated to his friends Zoe Williams and Cho Chang. So I now turn it over to him." Dumbledore sat down and Lorne stood up.
" I'm positive that most of you might not know this, since it is a Muggle song. It's by a band called MercyMe It's called 'I Can Only Imagine.' This is dedicated to Cho Chang and Zoe Williams."
" I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When Your face
Is before me
I can only imagine
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for You J--- or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing Hallelujah, will I be ble to speak at all
I can only imagine.
I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship you
I can only imagine."
Lorne sat down after the song, many of the students broke down into tears. After dinner they went back to their Dormitories and most of the students went to bed. The next day the boarded the train to go back to Kings Cross station. The train ride home was very quiet, it seemed like no one could think of anything to say.
Once they got there Harry took his stuff said good bye to his friends and went through the barrier.
" Harry wait a minute!" Hermione said running to him.
" What?" He said very softly.
" Harry don't beat yourself up over the summer about everything. None of it was your fault no one would of known that they were going to die. I promise I'll keep in touch, and we'll get you out of there as fast as we can. I promise." Hermione said giving Harry a hug. Harry hugged her back, but couldn't stop feeling guilty. He followed the Dursley's to the car and they took him home.
