A/N: This is the sixth of the series of drabbles and one-shots I'm writing for the 100 Times Challenge.
Taken from Harry's speech at the funeral of those who died in the war.
6. Killed
"Many people died over the course of this war, some good and some evil. But all were brave and many were innocent bystanders. We stand here today to say our final farewells to those we knew, those who fought with us and some who fought against us.
Although their family's grieve and mourn they can claim solace in the fact that none of their loved ones are in pain, they are safe, surrounded by the rest of their deceased relatives and friends. For many of us, the hardest part is accepting that they died in the course of a war that ultimately led to the defeat of Voldemort, they died; for the greater good. None of find this easy, we would be cold and heartless not to feel this tragic loss of so many lives, but many of us are coming to terms with it. The only thing we can do now is help others, our remaining friends and family.
I know how hard it is to accept the loss of those you love more than anyone here, I am the one who must live with the guilt of knowing they died because of me. So many people died fighting alongside me, many of these fighting even after you all believed me dead. Their loyalty and bravery will be what we remember most about each and every one of them.
Finally, I ask that none of you forget, however, those who put their lives at risk every day for years before this war started. I ask that none of you forget Severus Snape, the bravest of us all. Thank You."
