Suddenly the music stopped and everyone turned to see Mcgonigall standing at her podium. "This ball is to honour the 21st anniversary of the second wizarding war. There is a lot of people who were there that day. At the battle of Hogwarts, myself included. Here is a few words from two people from two sides who came together because of the next generation. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy."

Harry and Draco stepped up to the podium together and smiled at the crowd of children. Harry started.

"Most of you will have relations who fought in the war. Some of them might be your parents. Yes war is a terrible thing but it's also a good thing. If it wasn't for the war I would have never found out what type of person I am today. I never would have needed to have confidence or courage. I wouldn't be me."

"Yes," Draco said. "I'm the same. If that war hadn't happened I never would have stood up to my father. Yes, he was a Death Eater. And so was I. But I never wanted to be. If it wasn't for the war I wouldn't have had the strength to stand up to him. I never would seen him locked up for the crimes he did." His eyes searched the room until he found the two he was looking for. Scorpius and Bella. "I never would have had my two wonderful kids. Who deserve all the praise for the man I am today."

People clapped and cheers. Mcgonigall stepped back up. "And now we will hear a song from Bella Malfoy herself." Lily shot a confused look at her and Bella shrugged.

"I didn't know you were singing!" She said. Bella smiled.

"I only agreed this morning." She walked up the where the band were and took the microphone.

"I'll be singing centuries by Fall out boy." She gulped and looked over at James, who smiled back.

"Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries

Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my heart

Come on, come on and let me in
The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
And this is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself

Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries

And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there's a light, my shadow's over you
'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon

Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries

We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth

Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries

We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries"

She sang. When she finished the whole room erupted into applause. Whoops and whistled were heard and she walked back down to James.

The band took over the music again and played Christina Perri's Burning gold.

Looking for an exit in this world of fear
I can see the path that leads away
Mama never left, and daddy needs me here
I wish the wind would carry a change
Looking through the window to a world of dreams
I can see my future slip away
Honey you won't get there if you don't believe
I wish the wind would carry a change

I've had enough
I'm standing up
I need, I need a change
I've had enough
Of chasing luck
I need, I need a change

I'm setting fire to the life that I know (I know)
Let's start a fire everywhere that we go (we go)
We starting fires,
We starting fires till our lives are burning gold
Till our lives are burning gold

Looking for my ticket to a higher place
I can see my chance begin to fade
One step forward and two back again
I wish the wind would carry a change

I've had enough
I'm standing up
I need, I need a change
I've had enough
Of chasing luck
I need, I need a change

I'm setting fire to the life that I know (I know)
Let's start a fire everywhere that we go (we go)
We starting fires,
We starting fires till our lives are burning gold
Till our lives are burning gold

Looking back I see I had the flame in me
I'm the wind that's carrying a change

I've had enough
Of chasing luck
I need, I need a change

I'm setting fire to the life that I know (I know)
Let's start a fire everywhere that we go (we go)
We starting fires,
We starting fires till our lives are burning gold

I'm setting fire to the life that I know (I know)
Let's start a fire everywhere that we go (we go)
We starting fires,
We starting fires till our lives are burning gold
Till our lives are burning gold
