Destined | The Deathly Hallows : Book 7 Part 2

In Memory Of

Kiana

"Family and Friends. We are all gathered here today for the lives we've lost in the battle. The amazing people that walked through these very halls among us as students, friends, brothers and sisters. They aren't gone. They're right beside us here in spirit. Better hope they aren't like Peeves because Merlin knows."

Cue the laughter.

"They each died a hero for a worthy cause. Our freedom. Our happiness. Our future. Everything," I said.

Cedric stood next to me and held my hand. I sent my older brother a small smile.

"They've all died and we won't let that go in vain," Cedric said.

Lucas handed me a guitar and I he gave me a quick nod. He leaned in closer.

"Sing for them," Lucas said.

"It'll calm them down," Cedric whispered.

I looked out at the crowd and saw Harry look me in the eyes and nod.

"Who wants to hear her sing?" Josh said.

I heard a few people clap and I shrugged.

"Fine fine," I said. "Those months on the run were the worst months ever. Yes we all look like we don't fight like ever but we do we even split up didn't we. But in the end we pulled through for one another. So here's the song : I won't give up."

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, I'm still looking up.

Well, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

Everyone in the Great Hall started clapping and cheering. I sent them all a warm smile. Harry ran towards me and pulled me in for a tight hug.

"I love you so much."
