We are celebrating ten years of peace. Time has passed but I still celebrate the way we did at home after we heard the Dark Lord had been defeated in that final Battle at Hogwarts. The horrors of the war were something I wish I could forget everyday and at the same time I always want to remember.
After reading these pages, you will realize that those times of war were a lot darker than we thought.
I have to mention that I am proud of the way how our Minister of Magic stood up for his beliefs, making public the information in the files about death eaters. There are divided opinions about Shackbolt’s decision. While some people support his decision, others think he is making a mistake.
The Minister knows the wounds in our hearts will never heal while we keep wondering things. So, as a legitimate gesture of human kindness he’s opening these dark files to the public to give us answers.
Once a boy was marked with a scar that would never let him forget his life had been touched by pain. The horror of the war hurt him before he could even understand what love and hate were all about. In the same way the war marked our lives with pain. Our wounds healed, but we will always have scars that should never let us forget what we went through. They should make us remember why we are here. It is our mission to share with the world the best of us.
Today I am more inspired than ever by the courage and integrity of those warriors that risked or lost their lives fighting for freedom and justice. We are a better society because of what they did. We need to keep working together, standing by each other, defending our beliefs, living without fear. That is the best way to celebrate our freedom. That is the way to keep alive the dream of a nation that accepts us all despite our differences. That is the best way to honor our warriors. If we keep defending the dream, the sacrifice they made will never be forgotten.
