“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort’s gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.”
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Albus Dumbledore to Hogwart’s students.

Endings, when one thinks of endings its usually a vision with graveyards, death, or heartbreak. When I think of endings, its a graveyard in Godric’s Hallow, deaths of good wizards (and a house elf) and the heartbreak that follows once you realize, you read the very last book of a series that changed your life. 

A book that was filled with enchantments, broomsticks, goblins, a castle, nargles, and unforgettable characters that have been your best friends since 1997. Beyond casting spells I learned what courage, bravery, friendships, love, destruction and turmoil all were. I was taught in a classroom right along side with Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, and Harry Potter. I had to turn to page 394, and I had to pronounce wingardium leviosa the correct way. I lived inside their stories, but even more so, they live inside of me. 

Endings, everything in this world realistically or figuratively has one, even in the wizarding world. That was my greatest lesson.
