And To Ashes You Shall Return
( A One-Shot )


A girl with hair the color of blood, but the softness of silk, and milky white skin and dotted with angel's kisses, stands up.

She gingerly walks to the pulpit, a piece of paper in her hand, trembling as she walks.

She gets to the pulpit and takes a deep breath and a tear flows down her cheek, before she begins:


I love you with all my heart
And it has been that way from the start
I miss you like crazy
Even if you were sometimes crazy, and at times lazy.


You knew I loved you
But I never got to tell you
And if you did too love me
I would have had to agree
We would have been the perfect couple
And our love together would have been true, loving and supple.


Your emerald greens eyes
Were bright and wise
I would always get lost in them
And even then, you didn’t condemn.


I know that you know, that I love you
But I can’t say it enough, without knowing truly you
It may not make sense
But my love for you, now and has always been, immense.


I loved the way you were so original
The way you would be so aboriginal
The way you used to be creative
So nice, kind, and sometimes probative.


You would never have a low doubt
Although, sometimes you were a little devout
But I still cared for you, and didn’t say a word
Oh! How I wish that you could have heard.


I don’t know what life without you will be like
Will I be able to go through with life, without one strike?
Will I be able to live?
Will I be able to survive?
Without your love
There is no doubt, thereof
I don’t know about my life
It may be controversial and strife
I don’t understand
Why was your life so planned and bland?


I want to be with you
And only you
Until the end
We would be husband and wife, and the best of friends
Never leaving each other’s side
Now matter how big life is, we would have taken the stride
And now I am lost
My life is embossed.


I want to thank you
You have brought my life construe
It may have been lost and confused
But without you, it would have been abused.


I cry but a thousand tears
Each one, my cares and fears
I know you see above, and wish for me to stop
But I can’t. Every time I think of you, one just happens to drop
And every time I dream of you
I feel dirty and askew
I feel as if I am betraying you
Even though I know it’s not true.


You haunt my dreams by night
And in my thought’s in the light
You seem to be everywhere
The trees, the flowers, and my own cries of despair
I can’t seem to shake you off
When I cry I think of you, when I smile, I think of you, I think of you even when I scoff
Your face is always in my mind
My thoughts, my feelings, they are all confined.



My feelings for you, tumbling inside
And I abide
I do it with love and care
The pain I can’t bear
The pain is for you and for me, and for everyone you left behind
Harvests itself rind.


They say everyone cries
But not as much as me, sometimes I catch it by surprise
The tears are like fire
Each one a sad song of a lyre


The pain is vast
My life ever more unsurpassed
My tears are salty with bitterness towards death
Each one an unpleasant breath.


You know I love you
My feelings for you are all imbue
I know that you loved me
And I thank thee


Each day goes rolling on by
And everyday I think it’s a lie
How I could be so happy
And you not here and possibly unhappy
How I could live
And you not survive.


But now I must return you, even though I yearn
But to ashes you shall return…"


She looks up and into the crowd, her face now stained with tears, people dabbing their eyes, and slowly but surely, her own brother rises. Slowly he claps, in remembrance of a hero, Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived.
