Hello, yes, I know I haven't updated this story in ages since I haven't found the motivation and time to carry on with it. Secondly, I'm fully aware of the fact that this is a Harry Potter fanfic. However, I'd like to dedicate this part to the one and only, incredibly talented Christina Grimmie, who I've followed for years.
It's been roughly a day since I heard the tragic news about her senseless shooting, but until now I still find myself praying for the horrific event to be unreal; I wish it was just some kind of terrible, terrible nightmare that not only me, but Christina's family, friends, and colleagues in the entertaining industry along with millions of fans around the world will eventually wake up from.
My faith in humanity is lost. Speaking as a human - not a fan, not an admirer, just a human being - Christina did not deserve any part of what happened to her. It's unfathomable how a man could travel to Colorado with two handguns, deliberately break into a concert venue and aim his fire at a 22 year-old singer signing autographs, whose career had just begun. I usually avoid calling people evil, but the murderer's actions clearly indicated that he was heartless and cruel, even though he ended his life right after.
I put my speaker on this morning and played Christina's Voice cover of Wrecking Ball, the song that brought me to her. I hate to say this, but we seem to never appreciate things enough until they're gone. Never had I found Christina's voice so beautiful, never had she sound so angelic to me. I could imagine what she could have become, what more success she could have achieved, how many more people she could have touched with her talent... yet now all those things are no longer possible.
I'm not religious and I don't really believe in places such as heaven or hell, but if people go anywhere after their deaths, I hope Christina is now in the most peaceful place there is to be. I hope she is still singing, still living her dream; and she will keep on living in all of our hearts.
"Every time I'm slipping away from myself,
You're the one that moves me like nobody else.
When I'm down and I'm done,
And I'm coming unplugged
When I'm ready to fall
You're the one always holding me up
With love."
#RIPChristina
