Word: 14. Hogwarts, A History
***
One day, when they update Hogwarts, a History, they will make mention of Harry Potter, the Chosen One, the Scarred Hero, etc, ad nauseum. Perhaps Hermione Granger's face will be there too, and Ronald Weasley, as the Wise Woman and Brave Sidekick (and comedic relief?) respectively.
There will be no mention of Ernie MacMillan and his endearing pomposity. Nor of Parvati Patil, dark and vivacious. Nor of Cho Chang with a smile like a porcelain mask. But they will fight in the war, and history will remember them only as a few of the brave forgotten who gave their lives.
