OOC: Quote of the day: On this day we take part in joy for the journey and despair for our losses. In history, on May 2nd, 1998, a swarm of death eaters attacked Hogwarts school and flew into a full-fledged battle. Over fifty were killed; however, many survived. We shall now take part in the memorial for those who were brave enough to fight, but lost their battle: FRED WEASLEY NYMPHADORA TONKS - Bellatrix Lestrange REMUS LUPIN - Dolohov COLLIN CREEVEY LAVENDER BROWN SEVERUS SNAPE -a number of unnamed students and Order members, all of which made a significant addition to this number. (Totally just made a speech out of that, lol.) Your quote: "It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew — and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents — that there was all the difference in the world." — J. K. Rowling
