She stepped towards the lectern where once her friend and mentor Albus stood, and addressed the assembled student body. "Students! A grave tragedy has struck Hogwarts. Early hours this morning, Headmaster Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore lost his fight with death. He was hit with an ancient curse that didn't have any cure. He succumbed to the curse early hours in his personal quarters. A brave man who has always fought for the good of everyone, the very man who defeated Grindelwald and the Great War, the man who stood for the rights of the innocent and helpless has left our existence to the Next Great Adventure as he frequently said. His loss has left a void in the wizarding world, a loss that cannot be replaced with mere words. His last message to all the beloved students of Hogwarts were: To always fight for what you think is right. It's never too late to repent your mistakes and turn towards the right path. The war is coming soon and regrettably the innocent students will have to take a side. No matter what, protect the innocent and don't do anything that you might regret later. Hope I don't see you all for long on this side of the Veil - Albus Dumbledore."
