The Battle Of Hogwarts i vow to fight - My Pakistan

I dont exactly remember which year was it when i started reading HP books but it was in my school days and that would make it roughly 9 years of my Harry Potter journey. Strange, because ive never really felt that ive broken the fragile thread of wispy light that connected me to that magical world.

Through the years, ive grown to respect each angle of the universe J.K Rowling has created. How i love the courage of all those brave people who fought for what they beileved in. Curious how even for the sake of thier cause, they never ever did resort to fall low as the enemy they so detested. Never, they say did Harry even think of going towards the Dark Side. "Ill join you when hell freezes over", Neville yelled in front of Voldemort and his army. 

How polite was that boy with glasses. How he could always find a shred of goodness in all things vile. I can hear Dumbledore saying, "Everyone deserves a second chance". Then, "Do not pity the dead Harry, pity the living. And above all, those who live without love."

Courage, sign of the bravest house of Hogwarts. Gryffindors never failed to tap the unforeseen grounds because when they knew what they believe is true, they would never leave a single stone unturned in thier quest to find it. Whatever maybe the circumstances.

Then came the Battle of Hogwarts. How i cried when Harry took me with him in the pensieve wrapped in Snape's memories. That little brave boy with matted black hair, how he loved Lily. "Always". That word. His memories of thier friendship that did not need any twisted explanation. What does physical attraction mean? How do you live your whole life protecting the last vestiges of the person you loved? Ask that man.

What courage it took Harry to embrace the truth of his own death in the hands of the one person he had spent his whole life fighting. Can you imagine the strength of character and bravery it takes to let go of your existence, sacrifice yourself for not only those you love but to finish a tale of terror against humanity as a whole. No, you're so wrong. You cannot imagine that. If you ever understood a shred of the courage and honesty of every single person fighting that battle for the sake of humanity and truth, you wouldnt be doing the things you do every day.

I dont know what sort of world every one of you is born in. I dont know about the battles each one of you had to fight all your lives. I dont know if you were bullied. If you were belittled. If you were thrown down on the Earth and made to believe you were nothing. I dont know if you were molested. I dont know how many times were you harrassed. I dont know if your teachers thrashed you in school to let out thier frustration. I dont if you were made to leave things you would've loved to do. If the choice of your profession was made for you against your will and all your hopes and dreams were crushed. 

I dont know if that has made you frustrated and caged and angry at the world. All i know is that everyone in this world has to learn to accept thier fair share of pain and sacrifice to evolve because thats what humans do, they evolve, they grow into better human beings even in the face of the worst they have faced. They grow out of it, they face it and leave it behind after learning thier lesson.

They dont start killing Shia's.
They dont start taking out thier anger on Ahmadi's.
They dont start ethnic and cultural wars.
They dont target kill without realizing they're killing kids in there too. Old people. Women.
Maiming thier own souls.

Didnt Islam say, "Murder of one is murder of humanity."

If there is one thing true, its that you can never end violence with violent acts. Its a circle of vicousness if you would only understand. A cycle of tragedy.

If your life was unfulfilled. If you had to go through hell, you cannot justify your violent acts for revenge.

The only way you and me can survive is by waging war against this terror. But we cant fall as low as the enemy we fight, can we? 

There will always be a difference between good and evil.

I always wished so hard if i could only have ONE chance to die fighting The Battle of Hogwarts.

This is my battle ive found in Pakistan. I shall die fighting if need be.

As i start this battle with a thought. I hope we all stand together. I hope.
