Remember Who You Are

Susan tried not to laugh out loud. Alice had no idea how perfectly she was acting like her mother. She found it simply humorous how close Alice was acting as Hannah. She was distracted by Ernie try to wrap her head around what had happened between them, how they had gone from this to what they were in the future/present.

As she saw Harry appear it was hard not to get chocked up. How many people in this room had died already? No many, it made her a bit queasy. She also had to try to recall what she had said at the meeting. Once it began she was the first to raise her hand but most people were just yelling out. “Back there,” called Ron who received a glare from Ernie. Susan punched Ernie’s arm glaring at him. “Is it true that you can produce a patronus?” she asked. When she got a yes she asked “'A corporeal Patronus?”

Harry started his speech but it was hard to follow him. Alice had spent most of her time simply staring at the younger version of her father that was sitting near him. In the last twenty minutes, he had managed to trip twice, accidentaly push down a pile of papers to the ground and almost break a glass. For the first time in her life, she had actually believed her father when he said he was clumsy as a teenager. She couldn't help but lightly giggle at this scene. With a push of a hand from the person sitting to her right, she managed to bring her concentration back to Harry.

Listening to him speak was a strange experience. She got inspired, goosebumps even. To think that such an important historical student rebellion started in a small shack at the Hog's head was almost unbelievable. She gulped realizing that he wasn't that much older than here. Many of the students here were her age. They might have been reckless but it was towards a goal, an important cause. And not just for the sake of being foolish. Harry spoke with such maturity and everyone around her seemed somehow bigger than her. She bit her lip and looked at Susan, not really knowing what to say. She was ashamed.
