"We are here to pay our respects to a fine student whose life has been cut so tragically short…"
As Dumbledore's speech continued it became hard to hold in my tears, I soon broke into silent sobs again as I laid my head on Harry's chest. He stroked my hair while Ron held my left hand, rubbing his thumb along it, and Cho knelt in front of me and Harry, rubbed my knee in support
"And now, if we give her our support, Miss Hermione Granger will sing a song that she wrote on the night of Mr. Diggory's death."
I looked at Dumbledore in disbelief, then to Harry.
"Well, go on, get up there," he encouraged.
"I can't."
"Sure, you can," said Cho as Ginny, Ron and Neville nodded. Luna just grinned.
I rose to my feet, the silence in the Great Hall buzzed loudly in my ears. I joined Dumbledore at the podium and he gave me a small bow before taking his seat.
I looked out at the crowd. Everyone was staring at me with sad and happy faces.
"Thank you all for coming," I began. "I really appreciate it. As you all know, I had my baby girl on the night of Cedric's death. I am overjoyed to have her but at the same time I am saddened knowing that my daughter will never have the chance to know her father." My voice began to break at this point. "I only hope that with my family's and friends' help, we'll be able to show her what an amazing man he was." I cleared my throat. "I hope you all will enjoy this."
As I began to sing, Neville's soundtrack began to play.
Here I stand alone
With this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away
In my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change
Well I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
Many roads to take
Some to joy
Some to heart-ache
Anyone can lose their way
And if I said that we could turn it back
Right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change
Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I'd never left your side
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take you back would you still be mine
'Cos I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
We'll never know
