I am very sorry to tell you that Colin Creevey died tonight in the battle at Penzance, killed by an explosive hex.

I am also grieved to report that Remus Lupin and Sirius Black died tonight in the act of killing Bellatrix Lestrange.

There isn't any reason in why one dies and another lives, love. One person dodges one way, the other person dodges that and he's the person who's hit, but it could have easily gone the other way.

The meaning is in what you make out of your life after you've been given the opportunity, the gift, to go on living it. You honour the fallen with how you shape the life you have that they don't. I learned that from my Dad.

You are a brilliant woman, and when Albion drafted you to step into this role, you took it without hesitation and you have done an amazing job. Yes, even though you lost some, including some of the best. ANYONE who had taken that job would have lost Aurors, and your experience, your know how, the fact that you were able to develop Jason Montague as a contact--well, all of that saved many who otherwise would have died.

Some of Davidson's teams are arriving here in New London to relieve us. I'll be leaving the field soon, and I'll come and find you. We'll hold each other as long as you need.
