Minerva—with a stubborn Aberforth standing a ways away—wiped tears from her
eyes and whispered, "For Albus Dumbledore."
Others came representing family members of the fallen. Bathilda Bagshot, Charity
Burbage, Cedric Diggory, Florean Fortescue, Bertha Jorkins, Dorcas Meadowes, and many
more were honoured specifically by name. One by one, the crowd fell away, leaving behind
the members of the pack and their extended family.
"For Fabian and Gideon Prewett," Molly said, sniffling and leaning on Arthur for
support. Fred and George made their way to her side, taking their father's place and
squeezing their mother tightly. Soon, Molly was joined by all of her children.
Mia smiled at the sight from where she stood next to Sirius.
"For Edward Tonks," Tonks said, raising her wand in honour of her father, joined
by Andromeda and Narcissa.
Remus smiled softly, wand in one hand and Teddy in the other. "For Hope Lupin."
Ron re-joined Daphne once Molly insisted that she was just fine. Behaving politely
for the occasion, he nodded his head at Draco, who was standing next to Astoria on
Daphne's other side.
Draco returned the gesture and then gave a quick nod to Harry as he raised his
wand. "For Severus Snape."
Mia smiled at the sight, knowing that Snape would be annoyed with so many people
thinking fondly of him in that moment.
Neville stepped forward with Alice on his arm, Frank walking behind them with the
assistance of a cane, and Hannah Abbot helping him find balance on the grass. Neville
kissed his mother's hand, watching as his girlfriend honoured the members of her own
family that had died in the war.
Alice had been chosen to raise her own wand and whisper, "For Mary Macdonald."
Mia wiped the tears from her eyes as relief washed over her; they were finally able
to properly honour her fallen friend. Before she started crying in earnest, she stepped
forward. "For Charlus and Dorea Potter," she said with a proud smile on her face, and
then she sighed softly as she tried to follow James's request for forgiveness, adding, "and
Marlene McKinnon."
Remus smiled at her, his eyes full of pride.
