All my happy memories had you in the background. When I was appointed captain of Slytherin in fourth year, you were celebrating with me. When Jeno said he considered me a true brother, you were there. When I went to Hogsmeade for the first time, I went with you. My first kiss was with you. My first love was you. You were my best friend for years, my first and last in everything. It was impossible to think of a happy memory without you in it, and it tore me apart inside, because they were just memories of what I had lost.”
