Forest Green
I can see your name on the tombstone but I can't believe it's true. Of course I knew it could happen… But there was nothing I could do except watch it. You chose not to make me a part of it, but I was. I had been since I was eleven, since I had a stupid idea of sharing all of my thoughts in Riddle's diary.
Everyone was here today. Hermione, Ron, Neville, Luna… Some other members of Dumbledore's Army, but no one that matters. All the Order of the Phoenix came and even Scrimgeour showed up. He gave a medal, a big golden medal, and said that you would never disappoint the magical community. My family was all here too, and I know mom was only holding herself to calm me down in case it was necessary. It wasn't: I couldn't cry a tear because I know you wouldn't like me to.
If I close my eyes now, I can see your face on the final moment. I remember every single noise made and I can swear you didn't look frightened or scared: you looked like a hero, like my hero. I can also remember when I finally was able to reach you - I hated you for keeping me away, I hated to be unable to do anything. So then it was over, I knew everything was over. You see, I paid attention to you when you were telling how Dumbledore died… The anger, the sadness, the sorrow… Everything was inside of me, just like you said.
I was the one to close your eyes. I held your body next to mine before doing it. Silly girl, thinking that she could actually reverse a death… But your eyes… Well… They weren't bright green, they were more like…forest green. Like when you were worried about something, either Quidditch or the War. Forest green… Just like the grass today. The sun is bright, there are no clouds in the sky but I can only think about the grass… I can only think about your eyes.
Thank you for the attention and everything - and Happy New Year!
