In Praise Of Beauty

||the poem is by Shakespeare btw||

It was time. Time for everyone to come together and say goodbye. Goodbye to the boy who lived. Goodbye to the boy who saved the wizarding world.

Hermione sat there holding Ron's hand, she couldn't believe her best friend was actually gone. Ron sat besides her, holding Hermione's hand and on his other side was his sister and he was also holding her hand. He letting them cry on his shoulders. However Ron hadn't cried yet, he was trying to stay strong for everyone.

Ginny couldn't believe Harry had left them. One night she was telling Harry how much she loved him the next she was coming home to find his body and the note. The note that broke everyone.

The funeral was an open service. Anyone that wanted to come say their goodbyes was there. Hermione, Ron and Ginny had already said a few words. So had most of the Weasleys. Now someone no one expected to be there went up to speak.

Draco Malfoy.

Ron was about to stand up and tell him to leave but Ginny pulled him back.

"Of all my loves this is the first and last
That in the autumn of my years has grown,
A secret fern, a violet in the grass,
A final leaf where all the rest are gone.
Would that I could give all and more, my life,
My world, my thoughts, my arms, my breath, my future,
My love eternal, endless, infinite, yet brief,
As all loves are and hopes, though they endure.
You are my sun and stars, my night, my day,
My seasons, summer, winter, my sweet spring,
My autumn song, the church in which I pray,
My land and ocean, all that the earth can bring
Of glory and of sustenance, all that might be divine,
My alpha and my omega, and all that was ever mine.

Harry James Potter, he was my first and my last love. Yes I said love. It might shock you to hear that the boy who lived was bent for a Malfoy. He and I had something special. Something that I could never have with anyone else. He told me his most darkest, most deepest secrets and desires." Draco started. Hermione's breath hitched and Ron's grip on Hermione and Ginny's hand loosened. Ginny's heart began to ache.

"Our first year, Harry found me in an empty classroom and we talked. He apologized for rejecting me and we became friends. From the moment he shook my hand I knew he was the love of my life. We always met at that same classroom. He knew how much his friends despised me and so our secret friendship began. We promised to put on an act for everyone but behind closed doors we were closer than anyone could imagine."

A few gasped were heard but everyone payed attention.

"Our second year we shared a kiss. It was unexpected but it happened. Why? Because I knew Ginny Weasley liked Harry and I was scared that Harry would like her more than me. I knew I had a crush on Harry since the summer after our  first year. When I kissed him he didn't push me away nor was he disgusted. He smiled and told me I was his first kiss. He was mine as well. Soon we started dating, and trust me I thought we'd break up after that year since we were only 12 years old."

People looked at Ginny and she was looking down at her lap. Ron shook his head and Hermione bit her lip.

Draco whipped away the tears that were coming out. And so Draco continued telling their story. Their love story. How they fell in love and how they stayed hidden.

Ginny silently cried to herself.

Ron finally cried.

Hermione stopped crying and held Ron's hand.

Harry was gone. It wasn't until he was gone when they realized they didn't know Harry all that well.

"Harry James Potter, you're in a better place now. My love, I will love you forever until the day I meet you up there as well." Draco finished. He folded his note and walked away, not before leaving a single white rose on Harry's casket.
