He is the Prince of Slytherin, but with courage of a Griffindor.
He is a halfblood, whose mind is sharper than a Raven's claw.
He is an expert of Black Magic, yet even more loyal and reliable than a Hufflepuff.
His body lies beneath, but we shall cherish his soul for eternity.
His story has ended, but we will remember his acts of bravery.
He is cold, he is distant, he despises everything, but that is not all of who he is.
He is a loner, he is proud, he acts snobbish in front of everyone, but that is only what's on the surface.
He is preemptory, he is imperious, he hates every being, but that is what his duty called for.
He beared a great responsibility, and was willing to sacrifice everything.
He withstood people's hatred, because it matters not to him.
He buried his love deep inside, and hoped it would rest with him for eternity
He hated cowardice, and stopped at nothing when seeking the truth.
He ignored other people's words, and calmly decided his own routes.
He always cover up his true feelings in front of his foes, but carelessly displayed his nonchalant demeanor in front of his companions.
He might not be perfect, but we all admire him.
He might not be a typical hero, but no one can deny his contribution to our victory.
Perhaps his death has been destined, and we cannot regret it enough.
Perhaps this loss might be fated, but we deeply regret our inability to avoid it.
He is gone...after everthing is over, he remembered our victory, and we shall remember him.
This is a new beginning in life for us, and the beginning of a new life for him....
Maybe one day, when he reappears with his sneer and snark, we will face him with a smile and listen.
A phoenix's song just for him, he will rest here eternally, but what's buried here is only a container for his soul.
A golden canvas shall hang for him, we will meet him again, and continue on the explore his soul, the most beautiful part of the man.
