| It's funny really, how quickly things can change. How one moment can completley alter everything that was in our lives. How one Owl can send shivers of fear down your spine, or as we recently saw, two people exiting the maze . . . .
I feel I must encourage you all. Dark and difficult times are ahead, the chance of losing someone you know and love these next few years is very high .... I know, I know, I said I would encourage you - so let me do that know . . .
Life goes on. As soon as you realize this, you will realize that not only can one moment seem to destroy your life, but also put it back together. As I have been keeping in touch with you all, I have read that there in hardly a smile at Hogwarts right now. Do not mistake me . . . . I am not telling you to forget Cedric Diggory, I am merely telling YOU- Do not forget to live.
I know that most of you do not believe that Voldemort has returned . . . . However, you should at least be able to admit that Cedric Diggory was murdered. And you are playing into that murderers hands if you too forget to live. For he has no longer killed one, but managed to kill thousands.
It is hard I understand, there seems to be no desire to carry on, to smile, to love, but I assure you - if there was ever a time that love, laughter, and will power is needed, it is now!
With you in Fellowship!
Professor R.J. Lupin |
