Draco Malfoy and the last Chanter

Chapter 13: Time to forget

But then the dreaded moment came. It was time to forget. Dumbledore led us into the hall where all the other students were. The walls were black, in memory of Lucy. Boys and girls cried in the tables, but I didn’t cry. I was too sad to cry. But I was also happy. I had a daughter, and the mother was the person I loved.

Dumbledore was about to say something, when I got up and said:

"I'd like to dedicate a song for Lucy".

Everybody looked at me, all smiling sadly, when Dumbledore made appear instruments and made them play, so I started to sing with my best voice, only for Lucy:

Hey Lucy,

I still remember your name.

I left a dozen roses

On your grave today.

I'm in the grass

On my knees

Wipe the leaves away.

I just came to talk for a while,

I've got some things

I need to say.

Now that it's over,

I just want to hold her.

I'd give up all the world to see

That little piece of heaven

Looking back at me.

Now that it's over

I just want to hold her.

I've got to live with the choices I've made

And I can't live with myself today.

Hey Lucy

I remember your birthday.

They say it'd bring some closure

To say your name.

I'd do it all different if I had the chance,

But all I've got are these roses to give,

And they can't help me make amends.

Now that it's over,

I just want to hold her,

I'd give up all the world to see

That little piece of heaven

Looking down at me.

Now that it's over,

I just want to hold her.

I've got to live with the choices I've made,

And I can't live with myself today.

Here we are,

Now you're in my arms.

I've never wanted anything so bad.

Here we are,

For a brand new start,

Living the life that we could've had.

Me and Lucy walking hand in hand,

Me and Lucy never wanna end.

Just another moment in your eyes,

I'll see you in another life in Heaven,

Where we never say goodbye.

Now that it's over,

I just want to hold her.

I'd give up all the world to see

That little piece of heaven

Looking back at me.

Now that it's over,

I just want to hold her.

I've got to live with the choices I've made,

And I can't live with myself today.

Here we are,

Now you're in my arms.

Here we are,

For a brand new start.

I've got to live with the choices I've made,

And I can't live with myself today.

Me and Lucy walking hand in hand.

Me and Lucy never wanna end.

I've got to live with the choices I've made,

And I can't live with myself today.

Hey Lucy,

I remember your name.

The song finished, the last word lingering in the air until dissapear completely. Nobody applauded, everybody was astonished. I sat down again and Dumbledore said:

“In memory of Lucy Chanter!” shouted Dumbledore, and everybody raised their cups in honor. I knew that the supposed pumpkin juice was really the Irreversible Memory Potion. We all drank from it, and I felt something weird in my stomach. I remembered everything that had happened in the summer with a flash, and then, everything went white.

I was in the dining hall of Hogwarts. I remember receiving a letter to have to go to Hogwarts two weeks earlier, but that was it. In the Gryffindor table I could see that pig faced Harry Potter and his lack of choosing friends: Mudblood Hermione and Blood traitor Weasly. Ugh. Disgusting. I started talking badly about Harry with Crabbe and Goyle, as they sniggered. On the train back, I talked about the summer, and then I realized that I didn’t remember what we did. Well, we must’ve done some classes, and some more things. Oh well, who cares? Dumbledore was an old stupid wizard that didn’t know what he was doing. I got off the train to find my dad and mum waiting for me in the car. I got in and looked out of the window into the dusty road, wondering why I felt so sad and horrible, like I had just lost what was most important for me.
