Chapter 2
Fire.
have you ever looked deep into a flame
watch as it dances look at its pain
it's a ritual of hope, a holder of lite
a singer of song, a rythem, a rite

5 o'clock in the morning
I was laying peacefully on my bed when I heard a very high pitched female voice say "Mrs.Granger time to get up miss."
"What time is it?" I questioned
"5:02 Mis. Get up quickly as there is only two hours until the goodbye ceremony!"
Groaning I slowly stood up and headed for the bathroom. I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. When I finally emerged I looked at the clock to find that it was now 5:40. Walking quickly to my dresser, A huge polished mahogany dresser with a full length mirror on the door, I found my dress robe and slipped into it. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and noticed that I no longer looked like a child but as a woman. My robes were of the costmary black, and held a special designer touch. There was silver embroidery done at the seams of small roses that swirled together in an elegant fashion. It hugged my curves in all the right places, and had a slight flair at the sleeves and bottom of the dress. After I was done admiring my self Tinky, the house elf that woke me up this morning, helped me fix my hair and put on my makeup. Finally I was ready to go.
"You look beautiful mis!"Tinky appraised.
Slowly I made my way out my door and towards the entrance hall. As I walked along the corridor I noticed that many teachers seemed to follow me with their eyes. After what seemed like an eternity I finally reached my destination.
Entering through the double doors I looked around at my surroundings. The entire place was covered in flowers of every different shape, size and, color. Instead of the customary four tables there were smaller ones situated around a huge cleared out space in the middle of the floor.
"Welcome all! Will you please take a seat so as we can get started." Doumbledore's voice echoed threw the entire room.
Quickly I found a seat and was soon after joined by Sirius, and Draco Malfoy. Draco had changed sides in the war and was now on the side of the light.
"Morning, Hermione."both said at the same time.
"Morning, Sirius. Draco." I replied.
"If I may pleas direct you're attention to the head master. He has a few words he would like to say before we begin." Mcgonagle directed. Doumbledore was dressed in a set of purple robes that had red, green, blue, and yellow moons and stars on them.
"Welcome...Welcome to you're final day at hogwarts. Today is not a day that you should feel sorrow. Today is a day that you should feel excitement, Because today you will leave Hogwarts as not only fully capable wizards and witches but men and women. You now have the ability to be what ever you want. It is now you're choice. You now run your own life. You make the choices that will determine the way you're life will turn out. And now I will end my speech and let Professor Black take the floor as he has something that he would like to say. Sirius."
"Thank you Doumbledore. I would like to say congratulation to all of you here today. Even though there were horrific casualties in you're path you have completed you're final year at Hogwarts with amazing results. You have all overcome personal fears and made sacrifices no one should have to make. Some of you I'll admit have made more sacrifice than others, and some have even gave their life to protect people they don't even know. Throughout this year you have grown up from being children to young men and woman. And now I hope that you will not only take the lessons of magic that you've learned in this school but also the lessons of life. I hope that each and everyone of you are able to lead a full and complete life. Thank you."
When Sirius finished his speech the entire hall broke in to deafening applause.
