Ignorant of death.
Harry sat at the Gryffindor table in disbelief. Everyone was talking about it. Nobody thought it would ever happen, but it did. Many were sad and many were shocked. A student dead, how that student died nobody knew. The body laid helplessly by the Forbidden Forest. The room was filled with silent whispers, everyone talking amongst them.
"Dumbledore cant even speak, he's lost for words" Harry leant over and spoke to Ron and Hermione.
But they both ignored him, neither of them said a word to him. Harry looked confused maybe they didn't hear him, so he spoke again.
"Guys!"
But again they ignored him, they were deep in conversation, tears running down their faces.
"I know it's hard that Neville's gone but it wasn't my fault, please guys talk to me!"
Still Ron and Hermione didn't say a word, they didn't even look at him. Harry went to leave but just as he was about to Dumbledore said a few words!
"Good morning students, I am very much distressed about the recent news of the death of one of our students. He was a brave courageous young man who always stood up for what he believed in. He will be deeply missed. A student has prepared something to say for us today!"
The student came up and took his placed in front of the teachers table facing the hall.
"Why is Neville up there, he shouldn't be there I thought he passed away, guys what's happening!" Harry asked Ron and Hermione.
None of them spoke they sat there speechless. Harry leant over to reach out to Ron but he couldn't touch him for some reason, Ron shuddered.
"It's really cold in here, I don't know what's the matter are you cold Herm?"
"No it's pretty warm in here, I don't see why your cold you've got about ten layers on!" Hermione remarked.
"She's right you know Ron, you've got one of them Alaska thermals on that would keep you warm if you were climbing Mount Everest." Harry said, hoping to get a reply.
But again they didn't answer, they just looked in his direction and Hermione burst into tears and whispered something to Ron. But she quieted down when Neville was going to speak. Harry just looked in amazement he could believe his friends weren't talking to him and he wondered why Neville was living, if Neville wasn't dead then who were they mourning over, but just then Neville began his speech.
"I never had the chance to say goodbye so I'll take the opportunity now. We were friends through thick and thin and it's my fault your dead, you were like a brother to me and I did this to you. But so as you know I didn't mean to, I never meant to. I wanted it to be different I didn't want you to go, so please don't hate me. Just so you can know I'll always be here for you even if you need a chat sometime I at least owe you that. Lastly I want to say I'm so so so so sorry you were the one true wizard amongst us, God rest your soul, Harry Potter!"
