Albus said this wouldn't

h. a. p. p. e. n.

ButItDid.

There's no w-a-y

)around(

it.

There's no avoiding

it.

.

And you come to

r-e-a-l-i-z-e

(for real this time)

that there's N. O.

death.

Death

h. a. p. p. e. n. s.

And you just have to

l/i/v/e

with it.

It's done and over with.

Cedric

.

You find that you can [barely]

"say" his Name

anymore.

.

And everyone said that it'd be

S. A. F. E.

this time.

That no one would d. i. e.

But they l. i. e.

.

And you

try

to make yourself )b. e. l. i. e. v. e.(

Until you realize that the word

l. i. e.

is in )b. e. l. i. e. v. e.(

.

So you try holding on to

R-E-A-L-I-T-Y,

but it's harder than you can

IMAGINE.

So

you try to IMAGINE that he's still here.

/But he's not/

you try to IMAGINEthat you're alright.

/But you're not/

.

So as the n'i'g'h't

comes to an E. N. D.

and your tears

stop their f. l. o. w.

You r,e,m,e,m,b,e,r

that you're still here.

And though he's not,

his legacy will be carried on.

.

And though some don't care,

the ones who do will stick'with'you.

BecauseIt'sNeverTooLate

unless it is.

But somewhere,

deep inside,

you find the strength to keep going

.

.

.

Until the very end.

The Snakes and Ladders Challenge (Character: Pomona Sprout)
