The seventh years were to all dressed in proper dress robes the next morning, the ceremony was to begin early at seven in the morning, so as to give the students enough time before the train leaves at one in the noon.
The four marauders entered the great hall arm in arm, all of them with teary eyes and a painful expression their faces.
Lily who has already arrived with Mary and Marls, the three of them mirroring the same but more pained faces than Marauders, saw that McGonagall and other teacher's expression saddened when the Marauders entered. Only Filch looked gleeful with his cat.
Peeves, who was not allowed in the Great Hall due to the presence of Bloody Baron was floating outside down out of the Great Hall and let out a sob, genuine sob for the first time since he has been here at Hogwarts, when he saw the four Marauders entering The Great Hall for the last time.
James sat today in between in his three friends, Lily didn't object, as she herself was seated with two Ms and Hestia who was on the verge of crying.
Dumbledore stood up on the stage and beamed at the seventh years.
"Congratulations on completing this part of your journey with beautiful memories, hard tasks, and great accomplishments. It has been a pleasure meeting and teaching this friendly batch.
It's a bittersweet moment as this is our last time together. At the end of the bridge, that took us many sweats and tears and joy! Today, I am proud of being part of your curricular and extracurricular activities achievements over the years. During this tenure, you laughed and cried, attended school functions, and bunked classes. I am sure that you all are going to miss all this.
Thank you all for the hilarious laughter and unforgettable memories you shared. I wish you all happy, adventurous, amazing experiences and new friendships in the future journey of your life. Suppose we have ever been harsh or rude to you. That never meant that we hated you. Instead, we always wanted to build a strong foundation for your next level. We always liked you all to achieve a greater milestone in your lives while keeping your honor and dignity intact through our endeavors.
School is where you make your first best friends, and now you all go to different schools and colleges for higher studies. Make sure that you all stay in touch. From the first year to the seventh year, your phenomenal teachers have showered treasures of knowledge on you all. They were like your parents at school. They all deserve a humongous thank you!
This is a tough day for us when we have to say goodbye to all of you, but I am sure that distance and time won't make us apart. Whenever you need any assistance, we are always there for you to help you. Whatever you do in your life, make sure you are good and kind to the people around you. Be optimistic in whatever you do!
At this point, I want you to always see yourself as good ambassadors of this temple of education. On behalf of the entire school, I bid you farewell and wish you all the best in your future life.
I wish you all a very bright and prosperous future ahead. God bless you, and never hesitate to come back to us if you need our guidance and support.
"It's always darkest before the dawn. Whether you want or not, you all part of the things going outside of this castle. There's darkness out there. Darkness thinks that it has swallowed light but it's just being delusional. Darkness can never swallow light. The light always has been and will come to the top and darkness will have to retreat. Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness.
Only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate.
Only love can do that.And the light can be found within yourself. I hope you all choose light over dark.
