Title: Painful Memories Rating: Pg-13 Word Count: 211 Warnings (if any): Mentions character death Summary: Harry Writes about the loss of Hedwig
Hedwig:
It was a beautiful fall day, it was my first experience in Diagon Alley and I still remember the first time I saw you. Do you know that you were my first birthday present? You were the best birthday present I had gotten from anyone. After Hagrid returned me to the Dursleys, you were my constant reminder that Hogwarts was real. You kept me believing that Hogwarts was my true home.
You were always there for me. You kept me connected to Sirius when he was on the run. You outwitted Umbridge when she reigned over the school. You kept me believing there was good in this world. There were times when you were the only one that I felt I could truly trust. Thank you Hedwig for being the best friend you could be.
I’m sorry you had to go like that. I’m sorry that I had to keep you locked up that last summer, and I hope you understand. I’m sorry that Voldemort’s plot to get me killed got you killed instead, and I’m sorry I had to leave you behind. I hope you know that one day your death will be avenged. But nothing will ever bring you back.
I miss you, Hedwig I miss you.
Harry

I was very displeased when JK killed her off, but this tribute is perfect.

I think Hedwig's death was one of the saddest in the series, and this perfectly expresses why I feel that way.

I love that you developed on the love between a boy and his owl <3 I agree with Crystal, Hedwig's, though she was a minor non-human character, death was on of the saddest in the books! Thank you for giving her this tribute!
